New Era Prediction Game 2017-18: Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season

Hi @El Paljasso!

Yours is PREDICTION NUMBER 900 this season!
(Of which 429 were W-predictions & 471 L-predictions)

Last year I held a small celebration of the 1,000th prediction,
and even named the game after the predictor who made it :D
(@Telemachus)

Unfortunately, with less than 6 prediction nights left,
it looks like we won't get as far as 1,000 THIS season
(unless we witness a sudden steep upsurge in the number of players)

So that probably makes you the last KF to record a round number,
and so I thought some recognition was in order... :)

Congrats (to us all) for the achievement!

(And good luck making it to the 1,000 predictions' mark)

The bad news is we only had 9 predictors tonight
(Back-to-back caught some of us off guard? Or was it
the combination of Easter/Passover with a weekend?...)

The good news...
C'mon, any W over those-who-shall-not-be-named is always good news!!!... :D

That's not all...
More great news for SOME of us... ;)
we have a new leader! Guess who made the top of the list by 1 point? :rolleyes::cool:

Here goes:

Only 4 of 9 predictors believed we will win this one (can't blame them)
@Ron was again King of the night (I'm on a roll here...), predicting a 2-point W,
thus missing the 1-point margin by 1, to tally a nice score of 60.
@CVKingsfan and @El Paljasso shared 2nd place with 47.
@Capt. Factorial was 4th with 42.
@VF21, @bubulina and @origkds missed a sure-thing positive score tonight...

Season Leaderboard

How much tighter can it get?

With 4 games left this season, we have a practical tie at the top,
as @Ron took the lead with 2,802, ahead of @New Era with 2,801! o_O

More changes:
@CVKingsfan passed @Telemachus to take 6th place.
@El Paljasso passed the missing @chief bromden to take 9th place.
@burekijogurt scored only 7 tonight, but still managed to pass @Spike and take 24th place.

Oh, yeah... And "The Flatliner"* is still ahead of us all. Just slightly...

* "The Flatliner" is a prediction of a 97-106 loss each game
suggested by @R2D2 to check the fixed prediction strategy.
