The E3 Prediction Game - 2015 Edition

The time as finally come to get started.  The Electronic Entertainment Expo is slightly more than a month away, and with that proximity we're seeing all kinds of predictions about the event.  What will be revealed?  What will be leaked?  I figured since the entire gaming universe is about to revolve around this event, why not have some fun with it?

Below is a grid of predictions.  Each press conference has the same four questions related to it, each of them worth 100 points.  If your prediction is correct, you get the 100 points.  If your prediction is wrong, you get 0 points.  You will have the option to double your bet on up to three predictions.  It's completely optional to do, but if you choose to double up then you would get 200 points for winning that prediction.  However, if you get it wrong you will lose 100 points from your overall total.

After the press conference specific predictions, there are five predictions about the entire event.  Each of those will be done wager style.  The minimum wager is 200 points for each of those, but you can go as high as 1000.  Whatever you wager will be what you either gain or lose by getting it right or wrong.

After that, you can offer your own unique predictions.  The rules for this are simple; there must be some kind of measurable result to judge, and the points will go by wager rules.  Anyone can jump in on anyone else's suggested prediction if they want to.

At the end of this all, I'll total up all the points and the person with the highest score will win a unique header.  They can select from one of several pre-made headers I have or they can request something custom and I'll do my best with it.  Anyone who ends the event with a score in the negatives however will be required to swap icons/avatars with another person who scored negative for the duration of 30 days.  When the time comes, I'll arrange who swaps with who.

So that's the whole things, just comment below with your predictions.  I've made it easy to copy and paste the tags for each prediction to make it easier on everyone.  Let's have some fun with it!

I'll be keeping track of everyone's wagers via this excel sheet, in case you wish to check it out.
