Posted by jessthehuman: Ok Here's my plan: If each time a forum member makes an incorrect guess in a given day they post the number(s) they guessed with. That way us forum reg's will have a list of numbers we know NOT to pick and obv as the day goes on it'll narrow it down more and more. This way, we will see many more familiar names winning the prize ! (could be you!)
I believe the number is also reset each time it goes up in value, so you'd have to post like @$20 344, 398, 444
etc.
Anyway, I'm not saying we should start a thread like this unless ADMIN says it is ok. But personally, I think it'd be a great way to reward active forum members
its a good plan; but in my opinion it woulnt work well for us members; see, were about 18k members...

$401983, 2012. Hey i think ive read an old thread about this and ur thread is probably, very probably going to be erased, search it and u will see, thats cheating anyway nice try but i think is a better idea the one about posting new threads, reviews, replies, and do anything to get mobpoints, anyway the safe is been unlock very often so it would be very hard to get the number on time, and if it changes when the value goes up then u need to check a lot of numbers daily, and not many people must be intested in posting their number to give money to one unkown person.

true, but once he safe was $50+ and more worth a crack, think about it, even if you were amongst the first to give awat the no# you choose, once you came back later in the day the spread of numbers would be greater and you can always then "buy" more safe shots once you odds have then been shortened by the co-operation..
But I mean, the whole theory would entirely depend on basically ALL the reg's here posting and it's not about giving away the numbers so someone else can win, it's acknowledging that by participating you're putting yourself into a pool of people with a better than average chance of winning, even if only 100 combos had been removed the total a amount, thats still a 900:1 chance instead of 1000:1
And if people on these times where safe was $50+ bought say 20 shots each, then maybe you'd get a list of like 400 already tried combos, which means the odds then become 600:1 you buy yourself 50 shots and you've got a 12:1 chance of cracking it, which is pretty good
Anyway, this is all just "thinking out loud " really. I mean: a) I can't imagine admin would ever condone this b) I can't imagine enough people would jump on board of the idea to make it worthwhile.
I guess my point is purely theoratical and it's quite true in of itself, if even 50 forum reg's used their points each day to buy shots (say 10 a day, 50 mob points, easy to get in one day of posting) and post their numbers, those 50 reg's would be winning the safe a fairly reasonable amount of the time...
To keep it readable, you'd just "qoute" the person above, so all their numbers are included already in you post, and the next person qoutes you and so on, so long as no irrelavant text was in you'd get a fairly readable list of numbers. And each time safe was cracked, or reset (gone up in value) you post without qouting previous post, thus creating a new list.
Anyway, I'm not condoning this, because I doubt admin would be on board. Still though think about it. The safe money is getting given regardlessly, so many people must login who never post but just use their daily safe shot and in my way, it'd be the people who keep the BRM forums alive getting a the lions share of the safes loot

i think tony is on leave and whenever he comes back this thread is gonna be locked soon. hes already said no to these kind of threads we are already getting points for posting so opening this thread is unfair and pointless imo.

Posted by oll1e999: or how about nobody guesses & we just wait till the safe gets to �1000000 then we do this working together and split the winnings
the only flaw of course being how would we stop the non-reg's from guessing in the mean time??
Anyway, yes I have assumed admin is on leave and that's why this thread is still here..
still, we haven't actually gone ahead with any of it, lol - msn anyone?? haha j/k

i think your idea has merit, having a thread like that would make more people use the forum, but the fact is not everyones trust worthy, i dont think you've broken any forum rules at this stage.
