---

That's Wigs, I believe.
---

Thanks.

Nice I'm the highest ranked person to take 2001

Do we still have a 5 point penalty to the people who guessed the wrong winner?
---

Yes, there's still a 5 point wrong winner penalty.

ShatteredElysium your prediction would have been worth 40.16 points if it was on time.

Congrats yoblazer! Well done, my man.

assuming 1998 stays over 66.66%, the top 2 will be 1.98 apart

good luck to both!

I might just hang onto a top 10 finish overall. Not too bad. Missed today by a lot though based on early votes.
---

There goes Oracle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't an official Oracle contest, right?

I can't wait to see how much I fall for picking 2001! (no, it wasn't a serious prediction)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't an official Oracle contest, right?

It'll be considered official if we can find someone to get the predictions and teams added to the Oracle website. We'll need either King Morgoth or Kaxon to handle this. I guess we'd have better luck getting in contact with Kaxon than King Morgoth.
---

I've been trying to talk with Kaxon about it. But, he seems pretty busy so our schedules haven't really aligned. Apparently it's a lot of work to get a new contest up on the site as well.
---

Congrats to yoblazer and team Luster Soldier/tennisboy.
---

Three cheers for yoblazer!

Mainly though props to TRE for doing a great job running this by hand, and happy to at least secure another spot on the podium for Team PD despite my own performance being a little lacking this season.


---

Isn't there another contest or two that never got added to the site?
---

3rd place, probably the best I'll ever do. Historically I tend to perform poorly in the oracle.
---

Great race across the whole contest, DC, and great job charmander on charging up at the end.

Huge props to TRE for all the well appreciated work!
---

Congrats yoblazer!

Also thanks TRE for keeping this thing going and for being my team partner.
---

7th is really good for me, seeing my prev best was 21st (of around 30 regulars max) in the first oracle.

wow talk about rocks and diamonds. pretty high for top 5 predictions but did pretty miserable overall, near the bottom of the people who actually stuck around and submitted a prediction for every match


oh well this was stil fun thanks for running it TC
---

congrats everyone! And thanks to everyone who kept track of everything! The oracle contest was pretty much the only thing that held my interest in this contest.
---

Congrats to the winners and all those who finished as high as they hoped.

Thanks for running TRE!

Congrats to yoblazer for winning, and thanks to TRE for running the contest!

I'm pretty satisfied with my performance in the Oracle this year.
---

Another Oracle, another middle of the pack finish.

Congrats and good work though, Yoblazer.
---

Thanks TRE and congrats yoblazer :)

Thanks everyone!
---

I'll keep this topic alive just a little bit longer if someone wants to post anything regarding this Oracle Challenge. Tomorrow night, I'll close the topic (and then make sure it gets archived).
---

Thank you, Luster and TRE for making this possible. Not a hot performance on my side, but it was still a hard contest to predict. Congrats to the top finishers.


Good night. Let's meet again next contest.
