Diff thread Nov 11 to Nov 24 Set up stage-picks are now closed!

New thread.

tss won last thread.

that thread is still open as I need to ship him a compac stick and suchmoon needs his BTC addy to pay him off.

We are going to try the shorter range as discussed.

Please don't post yet. I will need time to cut and paste.

New ranges below

pick times are block 600 to block 1200

Leaves us with:

That is a simple fix should work. We combine your idea say

.10% ranges and shift from blocks 300-1000 to 600-1200

should slow the rush a bit and leave room for picks

this correction to the negatives was made by suchmoon.

so -0 gives you 0 to -0.9
and +0 gives you 0 to +0.9

this keeps negs and pos in a mirror image format.

and up as high as you want to pick

I like the delay to 600th block and I like the .1 range

I don't care how high or how low you pick

but below -10%
and above +10%

are not likely to hit.

waiting until late should still leave you picks since there are simply more choices that may hit.

I also think this will cause rollovers since there are more slots.

I am going to check newbies very carefully if we get flooded with them we may restrict them.

So when you pick just do

+1.0 notlist3d

or

-2.0 tss

Obviously use your fourm name not the ones above.

I will do the rest.

Nice upgrades Phil !

Nice upgrades Phil !

it changes things up a bit makes better chance for rollovers.

Pushes the art of waiting a bit more.

If it sucks we can always go back.

I don't know how this update effect the game but let's wait and see. It looks late predictions have better chances in the first glance.

It'll be a fun and tighter competition.

Going from a .25 ranges to a 0.1 Cheesy

Lets see how many people join in this time.

okay

Thanks

. Sorry for to early pick up.
Did not read about the 600 blocks delay.
I'll pick up again after 1416 blocks.

tss has been paid.

I like the new rules. For the negative ranges I was thinking - what if we allow the zero to be picked by two participants.

i.e

-0.0

and

+0.0

would be valid picks, -0.00 to -0.09 and +0.00 to +0.09 respectively. If diff hits 0.00 both get paid. I'm quite confident in the odds against that

That would remove the slight confusion on the negative side and make both sides identical.

Diff change +2.24% = whoever picked +2.2 wins
Diff change +5.07% = whoever picked +5.0 wins
Diff change -1.51% = whoever picked -1.5 wins
etc

yup.. got my winnings. thanks guys. i am a fan of the new format. seems to allow more participants and a choice of picks. the last few contests filled in so fast you end up taking whatever is available just to be part of the game.

Good point I will alter the negatives to conform to the positives.

and done in first post.

Really high peak today and doesn't want to get down so far.

Updated:

current number is really high. I glad we decided to delay until block 600 and to tighten the ranges up to .10 percent it will take a little more skill and waiting a bit looks like the better move.

with the way we are making blocks we could be at 600 in 25 or 26 hours maybe less.

Last 65 blocks for guesses. It would be too hard to guess now with 0.10 range. I think this time winning pick contains more luck than skills.
