I was just reminded while posting my honorary title which includes Goddess of
Eeps that the group was down when I started the 2011 version of the Skywatch
game. This one will take less keeping track of, I think.  Here's how it goes
(copying from JMSnews.com:

Those of you who have been here a while will remember other times when I ran a
game to guess when new JMS projects will be announced. Since we have one that
JMS thinks will be announced soon, I thought it would be a nice idea to start a
new game with some differences from previous versions. Ready? Here's the rules
for picking dates:

- Each poster will get to choose three dates when they hope that a new
announcement will be made.

- Each date can only be claimed once. In case of multiple requests, first
request based on the time stamp on my computer gets the date.

- All guesses need to be within this calendar year and all three guesses need
to
expire before choosing new dates.

- I'll post the updated list of dates claimed semi-regularly but will at least
try for once a month.

Now for the winning bit:

- A winner will be declared when an announcement is made about a new deal that
JMS has made or the first specific announcement that a project has gone out for
purchase (such as the recent 'Ticktockman' script). The project has to be
verifiable without registering (ie: the leaked sites for the above script were
passworded so JMS' post to Facebook would be the verifiable time for deciding a
winner). The announcement that JMS is writing his autobiography doesn't count
until it's finished and he tells us he's submitted it to publishers (or at
least
sent it to his agent).

- Whoever's guess is *closest* to the date will be the winner. In the case of
equidistant guesses, an alternate (both identical) prize will be awarded both
winners.

- The first three prizes have been chosen:
First Announcment - Babylon 5 shot glass (very rare)
Second Announcement - Babylon 5 playing cards (very rare)
Third Announcement - B5 Stargate Pin - Starry version (very rare)

- All guesses need to be posted here in this thread to be counted. I *may*
extend the game to a couple of other sites but I'll post if that happens.

That's all I can think of. This time I'm not even going to guess because it'd
be
silly to award myself prizes I've already got, wouldn't it?  I am going to
sticky this so I'll be sure to check it regularly.

Questions? Comments? Let the guessing begin!
