(IMG:[reasoningtheory.net] https://reasoningtheory.net/countdown.png?title=Guessing%20game%20^6&month=1&day=03&year=2017&hour=0&minute=00)
The game:1. Everyone who wants to participate posts in this thread with a picture of their favorite character from anime, manga, TV, VN, or anything else.(You don't actually have to, but it'd be nice)
2. Guess
any real number between 0 and 1000 (inclusive) by
PMing or MMing me
3. When time runs out, all guesses will be averaged together
4. Those who guessed closest to
2/3 of the average will be the winners!
Prize pool: At least 1m credits every game distributed among 4 winners
- 40% to first place (closest guess)
- 30% to second place
- 20% to third place
- 10% to fourth place
Bonus Guess: Anyone can send me 10k credits to be added to the total prize pool. Those who do may make an additional guess that game.
(Each user can only win once per game though.) All funds go to the winners, I make no profit!
Notes:
- Participants must be at least level 100 or be an active member of the E-H community
- Superlatanium may guess, but cannot be one of the winners
- This will be a series of contests, each lasting 24 hours, from Dawn to Dawn. (Guesses at 00:00 will count towards the last day's game: new games start at 00:01)

New rule for Game 3+: Too many people are intentionally skewing the average. If you are clearly not trying to guess to win (or if you don't understand the game and make a strange guess), I will not include your guess!
(This isn't intended to be a restriction - this is just intended to weed out the trolls.)
(Here's a very big hint on how to figure out which number to guess)
I still recommend that you guys send guesses privately. Lots of public guesses make things too easy for those who know what they're doing
(and make you less likely to win!) Less public guessing also makes the game more about predicting others
(which is the whole point), rather than counting in a spreadsheet (kinda boring). You don't need to post pictures again
