Bets on Version Number on release:

Ok, we've heard A1k0n say that most everything they need to do will be server side from here on out as of version 1.0.0, so I propose we put down bets on how more updates there will be, personally I think the version on release day will be 1.0.4 Giving raybondo one version to fix a bunch of stuff, and A1k0n one version to go through and fix everything ray broke :)

Lets keep this light-hearted, though perhaps we could put together a paypal pot or something for the winner! -if we did, that would mean devs and forum mod could play, but would not be eligible for prizes, as we know they'd say something like "I think the release version will be 1.3.3.7" and on release day the update would say "Release 1.3.3.7: fixed a bug which made me lose a bet"

I would contribute $1 to the paypal pot.

As for my bet, I bet that the version will be 1.0.5.

The only problem with this betting is that it's sort of a first come, first serve thing. If someone wants to bet on, say, 1.0.4, then they can't because it's already taken. That is if we have a paypal pot. Otherwise they can bet as they will. Right?

I read recently that PayPal has a list of things that they will not handle transactions
for. One of them is "gambling." Otherwise, good luck to all...

Yes, Soon™. :P

I'm pretty sure that he's doing something about fixing bugs while at work. When he gets home and wakes me up I usually ask him how was work and he says he was fixing bugs.... Unless this is a twisted form of job security.

and with 20 days to go my bet is 1.0.14 (avg an update every 2 days and no one wants 1.0.13)

Since 4 and 5 are already taken and 1.0.3 is a little bit too Soon™. I'd say 1.0.6

if we could convince paypal to do it it would work on a lottery type scale, everyone could bet on 1 number... and then if you had the same number as someone else you'd have to split the booty.. but.. I don't think it will fly...

and thats pretty low Ray, using your wife's name to defend yourself ;-)

My bet's on 1.0.10. Unfortunately, I don't have any money, so if I win, I don't win...

And you believe him? Now, THAT'S Love!

I'll take 1.1 because that is usually the release version number used.

AND...if Ray fixes his own mistakes, why... WHY I ask you... are we still upside down?!
