1. I say Tuesday at 3:20 pm
Is this going to be an official pool? and if so, what's the entry?

4. OK

I mean, is this a betting pool, where people claim a time and the nearest one wins? and if so, what do they win? Are we going to "enter" something? Ordinarily it would be money, like 45 to pick a time. since this is virtual, what can we "bet"?
and on edit: Since this is Labor Day weekend, and there's a major hurricane going on, I am betting computer use to be lower.

5. ahhhhhh....very crafty (on the hurricane thing)
OK. It'll work like this. You can submit a time and date, and then indicate if you wish to be "in", as in "I'm in".

Example.

Wed 8:20 AM - I'm NOT in.

This person just wants to play for fun.

If you put in a guess and you want to be "in" the bet is $2.00.

The payout will be 50% of the take (I believe you call it that), with the other 50% going to Kerry 04.

I predict wave of Labor Day trolls will bump DU over the hump.

6. I'm going to guess that a "regular" will cheat.
Admit it. You've considered trying to re-register as the 50K member.

7. I guess you have a point. But let's see
If everyone cheats then its a contest again. Right?

8. If they're all legit members
I don't really care. But if they're 45 disruptors well they know where they can go.

9. Considering that the count was 49,772 as of 2:00 p.m. Friday
I'm guessing sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening, for sure.
