and lets not forget that the first 4 pages or so of the form were Canadian's and non-american's upset that they weren't able to apply. So that take a huge chunk out of the numbersescapistraptor said:

That means nothing except that the people who responded first complained about not being able to entering. As one who gave a try at this, I haven't posted anything until now.jimtherabidcow said:
If I were to give a rough estimate of the number of people who entered, I'd say no less than 500 applicants. Many people read the Escapist, and that includes Americans. I assume many people threw their hats in. Whether they were good applications or not, one cannot know.
My postponed senses are tingling. 
Will we see the results within the next month? Or am I just really oblivious and the results are already out? Either way, just making sure I'm up to speed.

Yeah so they're taking their sweet time with this one eh? The results really aren't up. What's it been, somewhere in the realm of two months?
I figure the GDC probably ate a big chunk of their time. They will make their announcement in good time.
Actually, a bit over two months now. Of course, if you figure, say, 70 days, and, to shoot right between the guesses of 100-500 submissions (after weeding out non-Americans), let's say there were 280 submissions (for easy math). That means they would have gone over 4 reviews a day. Doesn't seem like a lot, but then they have to take their favorites, compare them, and repeating that until they have the 2 chosen people. That, and the escapist probably only has a couple people working on this, so it's quite the work load.snowman6251 said:
With that said, I've been checking the site daily for the last month, giddy with hope at every new message I receive, hoping. Clearly I am not as patient as I make myself sound...
Anyone else think they may have just forgotten about this? They are really taking their time with this thing.
curses! I love Death Note and Princess Mononoke. I could wax eloqent about them for hours! Sadly, I fall just short of the age requirement. So close, and yet so far.
I'll take your bet, Trigger happy.Triggerhappy938 said:
Here's the system I propose:
Specific date: 50:1 (Because those odds are phenomenal)
Specific week: 20:1
Specific month: 6:1
Specific half of the year: 2:1 (As in, before summer or after)
You can only make ten bets, and if you bet in a certain category you don't get all the odds after it, example being if I called May correctly, I wouldn't get the payout for the half of the year either. I hope you get the idea.
I'll put my (Fictional) $10 in on May. Payout is 6:1, as stated before. Think of it as betting on black in the roulette.
I would say it would be an april fools joke, but as far as i can tell they haven't said "got ya" yet
