99,436 posts as of midnight.

If you haven't chosen yet, there's a good chance this will be the last day to do so.

Good luck to all of you who entered.

Crap. There goes my chances unless everybody stop posting for a week.

Good luck to all those that guessed late this week or the next. It should most likely hit in that time frame.

I actually logged on Sunday evening as well as late Sunday night (now) - if I hadn't, we wouldn't be over 99,500 posts. No, it wasn't intentional, it just worked out that way.

Honestly, because of the upcoming holiday and orgy of shopping excess and largesse, this can go a few different ways in terms of how long it takes for the last 500 posts to be completed. On the one hand, people will be traveling everywhere to be with family - many college kids are already home by now (the city issued a "gridlock alert" for Friday due to the influx of travelers). There will be a lot of meet-and-greet, hugs and handshakes - things that tend to keep one away from a computer. But then there's Thanksgiving Day itself, with everyone not shopping lounging around on the sofa in a turkey coma. The ones running around to shop will likely be more focused on that than posting around here. Those not interested in overeating, shopping in brick-and-mortar stores or watching football might have time on their hands, especially in light of certain online card dealers holding seasonal specials. And of course, there's the wild card - tablets and smartphones are in so many people's hands that maybe those busier folks will be posting on the go.

I am confident we will hit it on the 30th (guess already made). I know this since I am using my psychic gift. I am getting the vibe that it will be pushing it, as it will be a close call and barely make it.

I dunno - the pace of posting has dropped off a bit.

99,560 posts as of midnight - a mere 56 posts as we head into a holiday weekend. It was more like double that when the contest started! Fate, she is a fickle mistress...

Judging from recent traffic patterns, we'll probably hit 100K either Monday or Tuesday. Since no one picked Tuesday, ozfan30 would win for being the only person to pick Monday. However, there's still a chance for Leif (Wednesday) or Yashi (Thursday OR Friday) to win if traffic slows down.

I'm kind of surprised that there weren't more entries for this one - only a rare few days had two people choose them, and none were picked by three people or more.

John B. · « **Reply #89 on:** December 01, 2014, 12:29:59 AM »

yea, I was pushing as much as I could to get it for this day. No luck though.

Leif · « **Reply #90 on:** December 01, 2014, 03:52:14 AM »

Well, I for one, hope that people are busy with cyber Monday. Y'all can att tell us what you bought on Wednesday, OK?

I hope I didn't mess anything up, I actually forgot about the contest.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #97 on:** December 03, 2014, 12:33:18 AM »

OK, EVERYBODY!

Fes, congratulations on being the 100,000th poster.
Card Player, congratulations on being the guy who spotted the 100,000th post.
No one chose December 2nd, so the winning date is December 1st, chosen by Ozfan30!
And finally, congratulations to ecNate, winner of the "Second Chance" drawing!

Fes, CardPlayer: since you both did something cool, I'm going to do something cool. Contact me in PM in order to receive one free pack of the Science Deck by our very own Rose herself - thank you, Rose, for the prize donation!

Mr. ecNate - get in touch with Nurul and give him your address. He will send you two decks (one of each color, red and blue) of Legends' Serpentine deck!

Ozfan30 - I'll be in touch with you shortly. You win one of each of the Aquila decks, courtesy of Anthony Ingrassia and Kardify.com as well as the unnamed "secret prize" from Tom Dawson! When you do finally receive Tom's gift, come on here and let us know - I'm really curious about what he's going to give you and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

If anyone was curious, had a side bet, etc., tonight's count at midnight was 100,017 posts! Welcome to Six-Figure Territory! I was a little late getting to the board to check, but managed to work it out. There were 100,020 posts in the count, but three of the six most recent posts were made after 00:00:00 Wednesday morning.

To all the prize winners - please claim your prizes as soon as possible!
