I agree that it's one of the nicest of that SSs I've seen, and I own several CGs (despite thinking that they're ugly), but the Mini Sus Scrofa seems to be the least popular Busse Combat model (with the possible exception of HACKs) to hit the shelves since I began collecting them.

I will keep it to myself if I decide to play. I did vote honestly however.

Just so everyone knows, being honest about what you are going for helps everyone. Lying will not screw over other people but will screw over you as well.

Let me explain, if this one poll covered all the people who were going to be entering the drawing, it would make sense if everyone posted honestly what they were going for. We could all see the odds of the $500 shop credit for example. If it looks like 150 people are going for that but only 23 people are going for the $475, you have better odds of getting the $475.

The fact that people may say one thing and either be lying or just change there mind, causes problems. Also, the posting of the poll will change the way people will vote. If someone was going to go for a certain knife but noticed that it was very popular, they might change their mind to something with better odds.

In any case, I am already having a ton of fun just thinking about the strategies people will use. I might play if I remember and can be bothered to sit at my computer for an hour just waiting but I will probably end up skipping it for some reason. I don't think I have a chance in hell of winning anything but it is fun thinking about how others will play.

Probably will go for a shop credit.

Just not sure which amount yet.

If you don't play, you can't win. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm not suggesting that the poll will produce statistically significant results. I'm just looking for an edge to increase our chances of winning and not leave anything on the table.

I deleted my choice. I don't think many people saw it so I hope I didn't mess up the poll.

Anyway,
I want to somehow help as many Dogs win as possible. Nothing against Hogs but I want the Dogs to have their day.

Lets not be greedy and selfish and work together. I would love to hear ways in which we can increase the odds of the Dogs winning. I would be prepared to give up my chance if I thought it would help my fellow dogs but I think the more dogs entering the better. We need to get every dog on the same page and make sure we canvas the entire lot of prices. Everyone has to go for something different.

That would be ideal, speedsix. But it would also require a degree of cooperation I don't think we could achieve in such a short period of time. I think the best thing to do is just look at the results of the poll before the SantaGanzaa begins and factor them into the selection process. That's what I intend to do. Whether doing that will make any difference, however, remains to be seen.

I posted a simple poll that gave the options of knife or shop credit.

That way you can see what the general trend is going to be. If 80% of the people are going for the cash, I would try for a knife. Here is why, my first thought was that I wanted shop credit to buy a Boss Street. I was pretty sure I wanted credit but sort of flipped flopped on the price in my mind. I voted in the poll but there is a chance that I would change my mind and go for a slightly higher or lower credit. There is much less chance that I would suddenly go for a knife when I was thinking about getting cash to buy something.

Does that make sense? My thought is that the knife verses credit poll may be of use if there is a big enough difference in percentages. If it is 48% to 52%, it is pretty much worthless but if it is like 80%-20%, that is something to go on.

Welcome to the Yard, Ericshane. You should start a new thread with some pics of your scrapper 5 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
