If any of yours specs is flat out wrong, the greatest number of points you can get is 1!

Not sure if gregnier plans on regularly updating the leaderboard, so maybe the second post from the top is the next best place for updates. Here are the guidelines by which I will hand out points. - Everyone is entitled to two items of spec. 1: Recurring spec. This will be a person's spec until the event either happens or the person changes their recurring spec. 2: Daily spec. This will be a person's spec for the next daily strip. - Tobias' original rules apply (except recurring spec is allowed too). - Tobias can still call out points, and needs not follow my below guidelines. - No half points. - Predictions must be directly related to the comic. - Daily predictions must be targeted for a specific day. If it happens later I won't award points, unless you have renewed the prediction and targeted it for that day. - Here's a tricky one: If you make two or more unrelated predictions, you'll get points only for the first one you write, unless you specify that it is a multi-spec (and take the risk of getting only one point instead of two). Comments that obviously aren't official predictions won't hurt you. - Predicting the content of a filler is worth only one point. - The following predictions won't be worth any points because they're too easy: Anything Pete has already announced or otherwise directly given away. Nonspecific filler predictions. Predicting what won't happen. For example, avoid predicting Crushestro doesn't crush Bestseid. Instead, predict what stops Crushy from doing it. Predicting that the scene stays with the characters it's currently focused on. Predicting a non-specific scene change. Gotta guess exactly who we will see next. Won't count if Pete has given it away. Predicting that a situation stays the same, unless there is a good reason to expect it might change. - If more than one person predicts the same thing, and it's right, the first predictor gets full credit (one or two points). Following predictors: Who don't elaborate or their elaboration is wrong, get one fewer point (zero or one point). Who elaborate correctly, get the above plus one or two points depending on if their elaboration-prediction was spot-on or close-but-no-cigar. Only get two points even if the original prediction and the elaboration-prediction are both spot-on. I'll continue to update the guidelines if needed. Hopefully I'm not making a simple game too complex. Let me know if you think anything isn't fair. Original post below. I'm going to renew my Wednesday multi-prediction and hope that it happens Thursday. - Crushestro takes one of Torg's pistols and blasts the shrink ray, destroying it. - Then he makes a remark about Torg not thinking to do it himself, a la this. Also I am curious how Tobias is going to continue being the judge, awarding points (or not) and editing the leaderboard, since the new leaderboard isn't his post.

Drat, you beat me too it. Well I'll elaborate and say that Izzy agrees to the deal, Torg and Cruchestro can't have that so they blast and destroy the shrink ray. Bestseid then panics.

Tomorrow, Sasha manipulates Sam into using his vampire strength to defend them.
Something like, "Well, if you really were all vampire muscle, you'd take these guys out without killing them so we could get away." And Sam, smitten by would-be love, does something at least similar to what she's asking. (He might botch it, but they will get away intact.)

We'll have a Double Wammy where it'll show what Sasha's Group is doing AND what Torg's group is doing.

I want to protest. I should have 2 points for my prediction of the previous thread's closure. Just saying.
Tomorrow will show Sam being convinced to go after Bestseid at which time he will inadvertently fly through the now activated shrink ray and will be shrunk instead of the intended target.
I could see him making a comment about how much bigger Sasha's boobies look after that happens, but that is not part of my spec, unless it actually happens.

Crushy busts in, the shrink ray bounces off of his shininess shrinking someone else, a la Time Czar's ray. Someone else can predict who.
Non-sluggy prediction: "shininess shrinking someone" becomes an instant tongue-twister classic.

I predict that the shininess of Crushestro will cause Bestseid to shrink, and then Crushestro, will... um... crush him. Minion Master and Izzy will thank the two profusely, only to have Torg hold them hostage.

I actually want the shrink ray to work on Crushy. Torg could turn him into a Key-chain.
Consider this my (unlikely) spec.

Bestseid gets hit by his own Ray. Becoming Smallseid.

I'd be thinking Pintseid.
But I'm sticking with my other spec even if it's less likely.

Torg blasts the shrink ray machinery, disabling/destroying it.
