So, who will be the poster of post #1000000 in MPSIMS?
Will we ever even know exactly who gets the honor?
(current # of posts at nearly 993000 and counting…)
It will be me.
Honest.
I was thinking Mudshark or Orange Skinner…
It probably will be one of us.
[sub]It’s going to be me. Really, it will.[/sub]
Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if it were one of us, either.
[sub]It will not be you. It’ll be me, dammit![/sub]
My guess: it’ll be nobody special. A random first-time poster.
Or maybe Cecil. That would be neat.
Did someone say “nobody special?”
With luck, it’ll be me. Won’t be long now…
It’ll be Cecil. He’ll freeze MPSIMS for a moment or two when it reaches 999,999, he’ll post in a random thread saying “HA HA!” and then he’ll unfreeze it and let everyone resume posting
Ooohhhh!!
Cecil has magic powers!
Yeah, Cecil has powers. Not only will he freeze MPSIMS at the big moment, he’ll just plain freeze time.
How do you know this? 
If you use the “forum jump” feature at the bottom of the screen and select “forums homes” from the list, it will take you to the index of forums. The number of posts and threads total in all forums, and the number of posts/threads in each forum individually, are listed there.
Wow! Fascinating! Thanks. 
I forgot, of course he has magical powers. Cecil is a god. :smack:
No problem!
Yeah… or you could just click on the massive “THE STRAIGHT DOPE” banner looming over the top of every page.
Duhhh! He counted them. Thats what I do, anyway.

I am going to try really hard not to be the one, that’s just pressure I can’t handle. Can you imagine the fame associated with such a milestone? The paparazzi would be obstreperous, fans would be stalking you, I bet even Cecil would try to get your autograph. No sir, I don’t think anyone wants that sort of life. I will be content just to post #999,999.
I started a thread on this subject over a month ago, after having concluded that the event was approaching (using skewed empirical data, I vastly over-estimated the number of daily posts). I believe we’re rolling along at about 1,000 posts per day, so we’re talking about a week.
What’s the prize, I wonder??
