did it used to be fridays? sorry havent really played much in a few years. {nm} Telly Aug 18, 15:40

Yes, but now we have the OW derivatives (they do halt on friday), with the moviestock staying active until saturday 6 pm... {nm} slappydavid Aug 18, 15:54

but doesnt that defeat the purpose of the game? i mean, we basically know what to do just before it halts based on friday numbers. {nm} Telly Aug 18, 15:56

I'm sure HSX is happy with all that saturday traffic... {nm} slappydavid Aug 18, 18:58

i think we lose all the fun this way, but ok. {nm} Telly Aug 18, 19:54

Such a bummer. I think I'm out. I just can't see any fun in playing a prediction game, when there's no real predicting. Adios HSX! Telly Aug 19, 13:33

I tend to disagree. Prediction involves coming to a conclusion based on information. Without information, they 'predictions' are guesses. elchan Aug 19, 15:18
