Forum Thread

After posting a feed about this and thinking over it some more, I'm going to expand it into a forum game. It'll make things easier for me to keep track of and will allow more people to see it, meaning more entries and overall being a little more "fair". After all, what fun is there if only two people enter?

So what's this "guessing game" about?"

Simply put: I'm obviously hunting down and gathering Halloween Candies for two Event Eggs (20,000), the new Forme item (7,500), and the re-release of the Giratina Forme item (15,000) for a total of 42,500 Candies. While I'll be supplementing the Candy income with Rumbles and Trick Or Treats, I expect most of those Candies to come from Interacting. That's where this game comes in.

To participate in this game, you simply need to make a post to guess the number of GOLDEN GAME CHIPS I will have on-hand once I reach my Candy goal of 42,500.
The closest guess to this number will win one of the Legendary summon items I have in my possession, with that value increasing based on how small the gap is between the winner's guess and the final Golden Game Chip value. I will edit the prize list accordingly if I acquire any new Summon items before this Game ends. Forme-change items are also listed.

Your guess must be an EXACT VALUE! No ranges! No multiple numbers! The one who has the closest guess, EITHER higher or lower, will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, both users will be declared winners. You are free to change your guess at any time prior to the end of the Game, you will just have to bring the new guess to my attention. You must also notify me of any username changes prior to the end of the Game.

The twist? I will NOT be looking at my Golden Game Chips stock until after I reach my Candy goal, so it'll be a mystery to everyone! Rest assured, however, that prior to when I got this idea, I am fully certain I had less than 100 Golden Game Chips to start with.

To give you some ideas on how you might gauge your guesses, you can check these numbers.
Over the course of yesterday, I gained 5700 Candies from Interacting, Rumbling, and Trick Or Treating. I managed 14,706 Interactions. Assuming gaining 200 Candies each from Rumbling and Trick Or Treating, that would give me about 5300 Candies for those 14,706 Interactions, or roughly 1 Candy per 3 Interactions. Golden Game Chips are randomly awarded, but I seem to average 20-25 or so Interactions per Golden Game Chip payout.

When does this game end? When I acquire 42,500 Candies, or when the Halloween Event ends on the off-chance I don't meet my Candy goal.

Currently available prizes, with each line being a prize choice: While I do not currently have any Maps, I do have tons of unmatched Keys and Boxes that I may look for matches in the near future.

All current entries, sorted by guess value:

If at any point you're curious about my progress towards my goal, I'm keeping track of my Candies in my profile, in a special field on the left, right below the Feed box.

(EDIT)

Game is closed: not enough entries. Such a shame, too, since I racked up a total of 11,777 Golden Game Chips.
