    JH,

    I think you gave plenty of warning about the ending date for the picks. IMO there should be some consequence for being late. There should be two choices. Let them in late with a penalty or don't let them in at all. A 10% penalty on the starting price would be appropiate.

      I gotta say LATE entries are non-entries. Put our legitimate entries at a disadvantage. If you allow late entries where is the cut-off? Uh-uh. The rules are the rules. No slackers allowed or the whole world goes to hell. Excuses are just excuses.

        You have until the end of January to make a pick.
        Tortuga 3 hrs. to spare, see tortuga time card. No penalty for tortuga.

        Tortuga say Jan. 31 is before end of January. Tortuga can win without cheating.

          Hi JohnHenry,

          Please take my name of the list for the year and monthly contest.

          Like I mentioned in my previous post, I assumed incorrectly that I had to get my pick in
          before the start of trading for February.

          There's no need for name calling by the above poster by calling me a slacker.
          I actually laughed when I read that.

          I didn't realize people were so competitive on an anonymous Internet forum where
          There is no prize for winning and it was suppose to be in good fun....so much for that

          Cheers!

            Booya! TWTR is toast, contest over. You can all go home now, leave your wallets and shirts at the door.

                Hi Massimo

                I don’t have one negative comment to say about anyone on Mr. M’s board. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help and feedback from all these good people, I would still be partying and chasing girls; mmmm that’s doesn’t sound like a bad idea either.

                  How about I put Tortuga and Massimo picks as a side bet. I’m going to win anyway so it doesn’t matter.

                        Wow, tortuga a time traveller.

                        Mr. John, look at tortuga post # 39 above, Tortuga's says Join Date of Jan. When you look at your screen shot, it say tortuga Join Date of Feb. Very strange. The contest was actually Tortuga's first post.

                          Could it be the aluminum foil Tortuga wears on his head?

                            Tin foil should do the trick better, but aluminum foil will do.

                            People who see Tortuga with a join date of Feb 2014 could check the timezone
                            setting in their settings (link Settings in the top right hand corner on every page
                            of the site). In the menus on the left, under My Settings > My Account, click
                            General Settings. To the right, under Date & Time Options, you will then be
                            able to pick a time zone to your liking. Any dates and times on the board will
                            then be shown according to that time zone.

                            Regards,

                            Karel

                                Sorry I took so long. I forgot my password and security question, so, I was locked out.

                                So far KGMain is leading, following Mmaarrkk88 and IIC. Keep an eye on the side bet.
