Post subject:  The Manniversary Contest Reloaded
So, I'm 0 for 3 on my MJH fans that could go to the Manniversary. I'm still waiting on my last guy to let me know, but I suspect he is out as well.

So, I have a choice. I can go to the next tier of buddies that aren't sports radio guys or I can open the spot up to people that I know would appreciate the opportunity to attend. I choose the latter.

So, here's the deal. If my last guy comes in with a "yes" then this contest is closed. Otherwise, I will give my spot to the winner of this contest.

I post on this board under another name (take that Grid). Someone alert Keeping Score. I don't know why I did that exactly but I did and it's out there. I take some amusement in it (nobody else did - but that was my amusement). The first person to correctly identify the EXACT screen name will get that extra spot if it's open.


Here's a few clues on the screen name -

-I did not post on this name prior to 1/1/06 (the screen name itself may be older however).
-I have posted it on it at least once in the past 4 months.
-I may have only posted on it once ever or maybe over 1000 times.
-There is a clue in one post (maybe the only post) that "refers" back to this screen name (Dr. Kenneth Noisewater).


Who is eligible?

I'm not throwing this out to everybody. Sorry.
-I'll stick with Mac's 1000 post minimum.
-If you voted for B&B in Keeping Score's poll, you are ineligible.
-If you never voted in that poll, you are still eligible
-You may only make 5 guesses (to stop someone from just listing every name) - make them good
-I reserve the right to not invite you (if I feel like it)

So, that's the deal. If I hear from my friend and he can go, I'll shut down the contest immediately (but I'm 90% sure he is out). But, I thought this might give you guys a head start on checking into it.

I'll give more hints as I feel are needed. I reserve the right to change all the rules at any time.

Good Luck if you are interested.

Dr. - I suspected you had another screen name and I'm pretty confident I know who you are. Since I'm already going, can I let the cat out of the bag in this post, or would you prefer that I PM you with it?

Very interesting way to do it. I'm not normally very good at these things but who knows, maybe I'll get lucky. Off to the batcave to do some detective work.

Just so you know I will be checking on and off tonight. I'll let you know when the right one comes but I will not say "no" to every wrong answer. But, all wrong so far.

Dr, does that mean that it is EITHER 1 or >1000 or just that it COULD BE 1 or over 1000?
Author:  Dr. Kenneth Noisewater [ Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:45 pm ]
Post subject: 
It could be any number of posts. But, at least 1.

should I be posting my guesses or PMing them?
Author:  Dr. Kenneth Noisewater [ Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:48 pm ]

Post them. So there can be no debating who posted it first.

For full disclosure - North Shore J's guess was that I was C_Howitt_Fealz. I am not.

From this point on, I will not respond to anyone who is ineligible and that includes people that are already going or do not meet the listed eligibility requirements.

That means if someone is ineligible and picks the right one, I will not tell him or her that they are right. So keep that in mind. As of now, however, there are no correct guesses.

I don't know how Keeping Score does this.

Since he's giving everyone 5 guesses AND the first one gets it, my advice would be to quickly guess your remaining number of guesses. And even if you can't go . . . I saw a foursome for the Manniversary on Ebay over the weekend going for $400. :roll:

Somebody alert Doug if one of you guys know him. I'd hate to see him miss two contests.

RULE CHANGE -

After I give a new clue everybody's guess count resets to 0. In other words, everyone gets 5 guesses from that point.

That way you guys guessing early aren't penalized.
