    I now see 193,161,924.9

    Based on your post timestamp, 5.5 hours later we are at 194,372,343. That's 1,210,419 or 220K per hour.

    To get another 5.6M, we need 25 hours.

    That's 7:20 PST on 31 October. @MPQBlaine, no coffee for you today. Get some tomorrow

    But we can't account for network lag, so ... who really knows. The night before it moved less than 2M in like 12 hours. Defining a trend based on two arbitrary, close timestamps from the online count is very shaky. The progress from 36hrs ago to now suggests ~400K/hr.

    Totally fair. I think it will really come down to the fact that if it's a hard close at Slice 4 start (in 45 min) then we won't make it. If it's a flexible close like midnight PST at the end of the 30th, we might.

    I mean, one would hope it would coincide with the end of the last iteration of the MPQ vs Zombies event, which is noon 10/31 EST. That isn't really "October 30," though.

    Twas nothing, merely an heroic effort that very, very few could have matched but if it helps out, even just a little, remember my vital, some might say invaluable contribution and perhaps shed a small tear at such a gift. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many (you lot) to so few (me).

    I would of posted this exact post if I'd of been around
    Was actually talking to the wife but rest assured such slackness will not happen again

    Progressing quite well, even while North America is at work (are you all playing at work????).

    Should make it, yep.

    You can't rest on your laurels in this game, wife talk might seem like a good idea but it is simply distracting you from your main purpose of posting nonsense here. I talked to my wife yesterday and really that was quite enough detour from here for several weeks.

    So all this angst and orphan burning has been for nothing?!??? Everybody has been burning orphans, right?

    You think that's Heroic? @entrailbucket has been on the toilet for an average 22 hours a day during October.... 😆

    You mean he gets off the toilet?!??!? I thought he was surgically attached?!?!?

    Hey come on everyone. Let's keep focused and stay on topic. We shouldn't be distracting others from the topic at hand. I can't believe I have to be the responsible one here.

    Anyway .....

    I think Nova looks really promising. I like his lowering red costs but not terribly keen on the randomness of his black. I think 5/4/4

    Maybe we sacrificed enough orphans and RNGesus was satisfied
