New Year Post Game

A variation this year...

You have to post the words "Happy New Year" in this thread and it is a race to the first post of the year.

However, the time you post will have your post count taken away from it.
For example: If you have 1,200 posts, you will need to post at 00:20.

I will be taking your post count as how many you have at 3pm on New Years Day and calculate the adjusted date. The person closest to midnight after this will be the winner, however if you end up posting too early, you will be disqualified.

Good luck!

I Dont Understand In The Slightest

Happy New Year Anyhow.

I get it. For every post you have, a second is deducted from your time. The idea is to post at midnight with the modified time, but can't be before midnight as then it's not new years.. That would mean I have to post around 6am - no chance.

You would have to post at 6minutes past midnight, Chicken. (6minutes and 3 seconds with your current post count).

This game is very hard for people with large post counts who don't plan on staying up all night (basically me - the next highest post count is 1:30am ish).

Just a quick hint:

Remember, when you post, your count will go up by one. Remember that, the Happy New Year post counts.

Everyone has a good chance of winning - the winner will be the one with the least positive difference between NYD and NYD+post count. Am I right?
