I would have guessed 60,000 or MPA's guess, but I took too long and now the contest is over. Shame you're stopping, but I guess we all have to stop in the end. As for what happens to the non-winners, they can have this sig if you don't make one. No pressure is being put on you to make a sig. None at all.
L O FREAKING L.
Sorry the contest ended too soon for your liking, man, but only two people (both alts) guessed in the final 48 hours of it. I took that to mean you guys were pretty much done guessing. #;-}>
That sig is hilarious man. Yeah, no pressure at all. #;-}> I'll make one, but not till the weekend. :::nods:::

Excuse me for being to lazy to read the rest of the topic. Can you please delete that post? Thanks.
Dude, that's okay. Besides, that post had a much better guess than the first one you made. Even though it was a BIT too late. No harm, no foul. #;-}>
And hey, with your old guess, you had the distinction of being the HIGHEST guess of all the guesses, even if that meant it was super far-off
Further than Frostbreath's, BTW... oh, and speaking of that (I saw Frostbreath's post in level up!): Frostbreath, you said your 65,432 guess was the furthest off, but I think you didn't notice Auz's original 66,665 guess! #;-}>
Congrats to everybody who won this contest. I expected that it would be a more diffecult number then 24k/36k=60k. Well good luck gfox with getting to that amount.
Sometimes an easy set of numbers is the hardest to guess, eh? #;-}> Thanks for the good luck and thanks for participating!

Tom_s00, aka THE OTHER TOM... here is your award sigpic. Wear it with pride, if you like.
OMG i feel so happy right now!
Wheeeeeeeee?!?! #;-}>
Thanks !
Sure thing, man. It was made with tender loving care. :::nods:::
Hope you enjoy it!
Oh i will don't you worry about that.
Soooo... ya gonna wear it? #;-}> I don't expect anyone to wear 'em for that long, they're not the most attractive pics ever, but if you three were to wear them for a short time (say through this weekend) at the SAME time, that'd be pretty damned cool. Might be too much to hope for three individual users to coordinate their sigpic habits, though. #;-}>
Anyway, I'll probably take the advice about making the generic "I was in the contest but lost" sigpics within a day or two, as I've already said to Qwoxyl. WE SHALL SEE WHAT RESULTS! #;-}>

Close but no cigar eh? I gave it a good go.
Oh and if you're wondering about my current temporary sig, well this should explain. heh
Damned close. Closer than your ????? + ????? = 63336 (as lovely as that total is) guess, in any event.
As for the YoinK neck sigpics, I realised that was what it was as soon as I saw Tom's on this page (And yes, now I realise why he's not wearing the contest sigpic right now, it's quite understandable! #;-}>). But I didn't click the BBS thread link his sigpic was to... but then I saw your above comment so I checked it out.
Thank you VERY much for making that post, because now I have a saved copy (complete with images) of the greatness than is page 1 of that topic. Congrats to you guys... instant NG legend/classic. #;-}> And yeah, obviously anyone who posted one of those first 30 posts in that topic has a DUTY... and the honour... of keeping his/her sigpic that way for at least a few days, eh?
I just hope to one day see Tom's prize under his posts for at least a short while (as opposed to Yoink's penis-like stretched neck segment #;-}>).

I figured your love for saves would make you want to increase your save/blam ratio more before retiring, but that increasing it to 30000 would be too much, so 25000 it was. I also figured youd be retiring at either 60000, or 65000, 40000 was too much to raise blams for 25000 saves, so 35000 it was. If only I'd thought of the 1.5/1 ratio.
A 33333/33333 1:1 ratio 66666 retirement would have been the best possible scenario, but when I was at 33333/22222 for around 24 hours at 55555... and after having spent about 7-10 days not blamming at all, I knew it wouldn't be possible to do that and keep my sanity.
Thus, I've settled for something almost as good. The 1.5:1 ratio, yes. But your logic was pretty sound, man. Yeah, if only you'd thought of the ratio I used back when I hit 55555 in May. That was a big hidden hint, in some ways.
