1. I say Tuesday at 3:20 pm |

Is this going to be an official pool? and if so, what's the entry?

I mean, is this a betting pool, where people claim a time and the nearest one wins? and if so, what do they win? Are we going to "enter" something? Ordinarily it would be money, like 45 to pick a time. since this is virtual, what can we "bet"? and on edit: Since this is Labor Day weekend, and there's a major hurricane going on, I am betting computer use to be lower.

5. ahhhhhh....very crafty (on the hurricane thing) |
|
OK. It'll work like this. You can submit a time and date, and then indicate if you wish to be "in", as in "I'm in".
Example.
Wed 8:20 AM - I'm NOT in.
This person just wants to play for fun.
If you put in a guess and you want to be "in" the bet is $2.00.
The payout will be 50% of the take (I believe you call it that), with the other 50% going to Kerry 04.

6. I'm going to guess that a "regular" will cheat. |
|
Admit it. You've considered trying to re-register as the 50K member.

If everyone cheats then its a contest again. Right?

8. If they're all legit members |
|
I don't really care. But if they're 45 disruptors well they know where they can go.

I'm guessing sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening, for sure.
