OK, fellow babies. I know we have a few threads in our beloved Elections forum about predicting the outcome of the upcoming end-of-the-unpleasantness. I figured one more won’t hurt.
First one to predict these four things:
Hillary’s Electoral Vote Count
Trump’s Electoral Vote Count
Senate Split
Third Party Vote Percentage, expressed in tenths of a percent
Players may only make one prediction. So don’t think you can make a prediction each day. Choose your prediction and timing wisely.
The prizes:
I will provide the top two winners with these custom titles:
First Place: 2016 Election-from-Heck Winner!
Second Place: 2016 Election-from-Heck Runner Up
The custom titles will be paid for one year. After that you’re on your own.
Scoring:
Players will score points for:
Each Electoral Vote they are off on both parties shall score one point.
Each Senate Seat they are off on both parties shall score one point.
Each tenth of a point in Third Party Vote Percentage shall score one point.
Lowest score - that predicts all four categories - shall be declared the winner.
Tiebreaker:
In the even two or more players are tied after the above, this metric shall be used as a tiebreaker:
Evan McMullin’s Vote Percentage in Utah. In the event two players choose the same percentage, the one who posted their guess first shall win the tie.
Volunteers Needed:
This will largely be self-policing. However, my day job will be crazy in the days following the election. If any kind volunteer wants to help me score the winner on November 9 - presuming we know the outcome - I would appreciate their time and effort.
Commentary:
I truly enjoy moderating the Elections forum. Even in these crazed times, it’s fun to have a place to go where people can geek out about methods, procedures and suchlike in the election process. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
Good luck to everyone. Let the games begin.
