Yearlong County Contest

I'll take
Butts County, GA

I claim Grays Harbor County, WA.

You're NOT getting ahead of me, Tony!!

I'll have Petersburg City, VA

Oh, yes I am. . .

I claim Lynchburg (City) County, VA.

It's just "city", Tony. VA is odd that way. There are 95 counties and 39 Independent Cities, of which, Lynchburg is one.

VA Independent City explanation

No county should be included then? I wasn't sure. Markus has it as Lynchburg and Kalisiin has it as Lynchburg City. From your posts I knew VA had some unusual city/counties, but unsure of how to write it.

Oh no you aren't!!

I claim Penobscot County, Maine

Hey, seriously, folks, I want to float an idea here...what does everyone think of having a First Place prize of $40...and a Second Place prize of $20 - instead of winner take all?

Remember: Yes, currently tony and I are leading the pack...but once the handicaps kick in...it truly ought to be anyone's game!!

Fine by me.

Good...can we have some input from the other players?

So far, Tony and I are cool with this.

Might make the game a bit more fun if there were two prizes.

We certainly have enough in the prize pool to do it. Wish we could even have a third, but th pool just isn't big enough. We'd have to do $30, $20, and $10...but that would suck.

This PAST Christian will take a hit in

Pass Christian (Harrison County) Mississippi

I'm gonna sneak out tim's way and grab
Queen Anne's County, MD

works for me

I claim Box Elder County, UT.

In 2011, Fordmustang0 has a hit in this county. Dr. William Stamper has three. And Darrel has four. But since I am the first to get a hit in this county that is in the county contest. . .

I claim Santa Clara County, CA.

Regardless of whether you were the first in the contest to get a hit there or not....what matters is WHO POSTS FIRST. In this case, it seems you have.

but suppose...just suppose...Markus had gotten a hit there two months before you....but hadn't posted it. YOU would still get this one according to the rules.

You snooze, you lose.

Gosh - and I was just in Queen Anne's a few days ago. I only released a pair of 20's there for gas.

I'll Side with the Majority.

Well, it appears we have a majority on this, then...Tony, Dave, Jackson, and myself have all approved the idea of a first and second place prize as described, so that is what it shall be.

First place $40
Second Place $20

If any new players join us, the First place will go to $50...then the Second will go to $30, and then the First will go to $60. That covers us for up to three more players.

I'll take
Rensselaer County, NY

Heck, why release a pair of 20's when you COULD release 40 ones? 40 chances at a hit versus only 2 chances.

Meh. I don't worry about it too much. I'm pretty casual about this game.

Ok, tim. Heck...as you all mighta guessed by now, I'm a pretty competitive sort.

Not that I'm a poor sport when I lose...but I DO rag on people who are beating me or who are even close to doing so.

I'll Take Currituck County, North Carolina
