Hey everyone,
Just for a little fun, this is running on both twitter and here.
Anyone who guesses my son's delivery time according to Price is Right rules (closest without going over) will get a reward based on the accuracy.
The Intel:
-My wife is 41w5d pregnant.
-Her due date was July 5th.
-Babies estimated weight 2 weeks ago was 7lbs 2oz (this can be off by up to a pound or more)
-The only information regarding her current status is she was started on medical inducement as of around 12 noon yesterday (This is the real craps shoot, its never the same from person to person)
The Loot:
-100m for correct TIME (AM or PM)
-50m for correct AM or PM are guessed in addition to TIME
-Rattlesnake for correct TIME, AM/PM, and WEIGHT
The Rules:
-Closest entry without going over wins according to the Loot Chart
-Each character may enter 1 entry (if you have 10 accounts and waste the time to enter them all not my wasted time lol)
-Those who posted entries on twitter prior to this post may re-enter here according to updated rules
-Closest Entry Winner will be based solely on TIME. The AM/PM and WEIGHT are bonuses to the TIME entry winner.
Oh and if a Staff member guesses the correct time, the next closest player will be the winner, but the staff member gets boozed up by me at the next Fan Fest.
If an idea is logically sound, then be constructive about it. -áIf an idea is illogically sound, burn it down. -áRational thought and utility is everything... Oh and fire. |

Considering you're probably American I assume it will be massively overweight
Considering your an ass and have no idea what you are talking about fine by me. Gestational diabetes has nothing to do with your diet and everything to do with the placenta working correctly. Next time read a little info before opening your mouth, you got some crap falling out.

I'm going to say 18:37pm (EVE time) today, 7lbs 8oz. And the absolute best of luck to you both. Hopefully the birth will at least be easy after having waited so long. 
Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue. |

Okay everyone, I have to calculate based off of all the time zones but the final information is this:
Simon was born today (July 19th) at 2:13PM at 7 lbs 12 oz AMERICAN baby boy and is 19.5" (for those who follow the size and everything). At 42 weeks on the dot he is perfectly health, eyes wide open and has cried less then a collective minute (this could be trouble, mischief makers are usually inquisitive at birth LOL). I am still in scrubs from the OR but I just got home to shower and change, I will figure out who won this weekend, likely Sunday if I dont get to it earlier.
Also I made an Dust character commemorating him, so anyone who is killed by/kills Simon Havoc on Dust, hes is named after my son (well first name but you get the point).
Thank you everyone who participated, and to the 10lber, shows how much you know.
Wish everyone the best, but I need to get clean and go back to my family.

My ex had that on our 2nd baby. I had to take the training to give her the injections myself so we wouldn't have to go to the hospital. It felt weird using her as a dart board (hurt less when you do it fast).

LOL no that was FPS games.. my wife and I both used to play Ultima Online so the running joke was GMing (grand mastering) Distraction skills, if my I died without getting at least 3 kills before each death it stopped haha. I got REALLY good at killing people that way.
But yeah hes doing great, turning 24 hours old in about 15 minutes (at the time im writing this). Im expecting no sleep for until the day he buries me lol. I can sleep when Im dead.
Hospital blocks the forums as GAMES so im going to have to run tally on phone, it will take a while but results will get posted. If no one won the rattle I will think of another way to give it away in some other contest or such because I feel like celebrating.
If someone wants to figure it out (if they are close) quote your entry and I will zip through entries and see what may contest that.
Later all!

Winner by price is right rules (however he did not enter a weight) is Chribba.
His entry was for the 19th at 12:00 EVE time (Downtime), and Simon was born at 14:00 EVE time. However since he did not enter a weight in, he does not qualify for a chance for the Rattlesnake.
As I was hoping I would get more people to guess the weight, I will have to find some other means or item to raffle off in another manner.
Lorkin had the potential to take it all however 2:00 EVE time is the 18th in the East Coast, which puts his entry on the incorrect day. Your weight entry was close enough I would have awarded you the Rattlesnake
I will be awarding Chribba when I have the opportunity to get on and get his winnings sent. Thanks for everyone who participated!
