But I hope know I am exactly right!

[Battlecat]

It's starting to look like I'm out of the running, but maybe a lot of people will come look in the next 24 hours.  Or maybe not.   Anyhow, I'm going to guess that threestooges will be the winner. 

[Pat]

Hey David just so you know our friend Gaston has checked in... So just a small one updater as of 5pm cst...

[mayorfabz]

I'll go for threestooges for a winner. Mostly because there's three of them, gives'em three times more chances to win.
Sorry  it has been a hard week.

I simply can't believe my eyes! I just started looking through this for the first time, and am simply amazed at all you've been able to accomplish!

The rural roads look especially great!

Keep up the GREAT work! 

[LE0]

You promised us a end of the month transit surprise! Cant wait to see it

[Ryan B.]

A surprise, eh?  I hope my new laptop will have enough RAM to run SC4 without lagging. 

All of these surprises and things will make playing SC4 again much more fun!



For those of you who don't know, my laptop suffered an exhaust fan failure and has been rendered unusable.  I'm currently looking for a new laptop, and hope to have one very soon.  With collaboration imminent, as soon as I get back up and running, there will be an explosion of new traffic signs for everyone to enjoy.

Yep I did.

So, the list is now starting to clear out pretty quickly.   We've lost everyone down to LE0- I'll be brave and say with almost certainty that we'll be thanking everyone for playing in tomorrow morning's update who guessed today, the 28^th.  It also appears safe to say that the winner will be someone who guessed the 1^st of March- we'll see how today goes.

Lots of interesting stuff to show you today, then there is too the prospect of that surprise.

I think threestooges will be the winner, as today goes on more I'll go play SimCity 4 and test out more stuff for you, David. I will also make a map that says "3RR". I'm sick today so I'm up for playing and testing.

[dedgren]

1,300 views away as of 7:30 a.m. AST.  That's over 60 an hour since the last chart update.

This is likely to be quite a ride.

My original prediction as to who our winner might be still stands.  Although I was a little disappointed about losing at first, a place like 3RR makes even losing not seem so bad.  You are right about the ride, David.  This contest has been exciting every step of the way.

[CCFC]

It's fun to keep watching what will happen. Now to find my SimCity 4 disk to make the map saying the "3RR" for the special quarter of a million page views.

[Korot]

Let's see, I assumed that there would be 1000 page views daily for me to win, I've now got less then 1200 views to go, in less than 24h, so I think that I'm going to undershoot it. This is because, sadly, the amount of page views has been dropping lately. I now agree with most/all other people, that threestooges is correct.

[CCFC]

Here's the map I am going to build on that will feature all 3RR stuff like the STR and the FAR/FARR. When the 3RR reaches 250,000 page views I will add a download in one of my posts including the picture above, with some images like a 3RR smiley, 3RR signature, and 3RR Avatar. There is also going to be a readme to help you out. You can suggest stuff that I put in mine to test out the stuff offered here. The picture says "3RR! Dedicated to David". So anyway.. I still think threestrooges will win.

[threestooges]

I'm surprised to hear people placing their bets on me. I think page views may pick up a bit as we get closer and closer to the mark, but I think mine might pass. Sheep may have an edge on this one. Time will tell. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye out for what you have in store David. Hopefully I'll have some surprises to send your way shortly.

I was starting to think of that, but time will tell. And sending surprises to him is fun, because the map pictured above is my surprise to him to show how much  I LOVE the 3RR and everything created.

[debutterfly]

When's David going to release his guess to us on the 3RR 250k Challenge?  I'd like to know and can't wait til the surprise is released!!

I've marked what I believe to be the "sweet spot" group of folks who, right now, I'd give an equal chance each of being right.  Heh, if our friend Korot wound up making the correct guess it would be a two-peat, as he came the closest to our end of the year 2008 page view number as well [linkie].

I'd hoped to have a pic or two of the stuff I'm doing today, but I'm not quite there yet.

Later... Oh, 6,999...
