And you will get a prize. Yes, you.

Watch this space.

---

The tally is in:

I have 32 monies. Two people will split these monies. The two entrants chosen by magical fluffy bullshit who agree to be part of a SOCIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT will split these monies.

EDIT FOR CLARITY: THE GAMES I AM SPEAKING OF BELOW ARE GOG GAMES AND THE MONIES ARE US DOLLARS AND NOW I AM SAD BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS RUINED: blame wpegg, for he is a sinister deity i mean just look at that avatar of PURE HEARTLESS EVIL

THE RULES:

To enter: post, with an image of a sufficiently sciency guinea-pig attached.

There are 2 participants, chosen based on the scienciness and quality of their guinea-pigs.
There are 32 monies (US value!).

The participants must publicly hash out the games they want and how the money is to be split. Observers are encouraged to form teams and egg on their chosen economic gladiator.

When they have reached a decision, they PM me saying they are ready. No further discussion between them is allowed at this time.

No less than one day later (this will be enforced!), they tell me their game lists. EDIT: These do not have to be the same as what was agreed on!

If there is not enough monies for both lists and only one is over half of the monies (16 monies) then the maker of the cheaper list loses their cheapest game. EDIT: This happens to the cheaper list until the total value is below 32 monies. EDIT2: If after the cheaper list has been reduced to a single game there is STILL not enough monies, then the maker of the more expensive list gets punched in the kidneys and publicly flogged and nobody gets games. Then I make another giveaway.

If both lists go over half of the monies (16 monies) BOTH participants lose their most expensive games. EDIT: This happens to BOTH participants until the total value is below 32 monies.

EDIT3: After every removal, the value of both lists is checked again to see if and how the games should be removed.

EDIT3: If there is a tie in value for cheapest/most expensive game, the game to be removed is chosen at random.

If the combined total is less than 32 monies, those monies are lost. The value of any games removed due to not enough monies is lost.

You have 24 hours to enter.

I HAVE RETURNED

wtf?

I .... Have no idea who you are :P

M-me?

Were you the one that was with that dev team? There was some game you were writing, something about a EVE online style, but more X oriented?

EDIT: Oh, and did you give me tips on the controls for Darksiders? I'm going from memory, it's more fun than using the search.

Yay! I get a prize!

Are you a dragoon?

RULES MOVED, NOW WE HAVE RATINGS OF GUINEA PIG SUBMISSIONS!

EDIT: these ratings are not representative of the actual images or my feelings on them or which will be chosen.

--

Austrobogulator: It is certainly high quality, but the science seems pop-sci. All brightly colored graduated cylinders! The guinea-pig does have the proper amount of inquisitiveness, though I imagine all that shag would bog down experimentation. -- 3/5

QC: This foulest of beasts is barely a guinea-pig and more of a miniature cow. Observe the rigid stance and how it disregards hygiene! Though the quality is high, the size is small -- point docked! And where is the SCIENCE!? -- [EXPUNGED]
QC: This is a guinea-pig patient, not a scientist! The medical practice in question appears to be sound, but the quality is low (due to the strangely large amount of white space, did you copy-paste this in Paint? No artist, you!) Despite this: the lack of pop-sci, the correctly labelled diagrams and the clearly visible image give this a truly staggering rating. -- 3.5/5

Amok: Cellphone camera quality! What rubbish, you call yourself an artist?! I did enjoy the fact that the guinea-pig was wearing a Hazardous Materials suit, but it is missing the required facemask and boots: what is this, a kid's movie?! -- 2/5

Spinorial: A true guinea-pig professor would know better than to wear such large glasses, they're a hazard in the lab! Once again, we contend with the foul spectres of pop-sci and small resolution! The quality is high, but I must rate this by CONTENT, sir! -- 2.5/5

Licurg: I must question your use of this particular model, who clearly could not convincingly pose for SCIENCE if paid to. Not that matters, because here we have it in fetish wear! Though the quality is good and the size is reasonable, I must say this is the last thing you would see in a lab. Hydroflouric acid and fur do not a good mix make! -- 2/5

Momo1991: Though the rules do permit double entries, I must pick the best of them! And because the first entry is less a guinea-pig and more of a foulmouthed frat-hamster (observe the large eyes and their haze of drunken broness!), I must defer to the exquisite drawing. While a poor show of drawing skills, all major external parts of the guinea-pig are identifiable and appear to be in their proper places. YOU CAN DO BETTER. -- 2.5/5

JoeSapphire: The guinea-pig on display is of poor quality, with a highly unintelligent primate-like face! Surely the power-that-be wouldn't let such a thing in the lab unattended! However, the diagram is properly labelled and mostly makes sense. Once again, however: pop-sci! REAL chemists don't need a periodic table on hand all the time! Also, why is it always chemists? -- 3/5

MrStarker: A true work of art, on par with the Mona Lisa. -- 1/5

Hesusio: Once more, we have a poor quality image of a non-guinea-pig doing absolutely nothing sciency. This time, the questionably-rodent individual is gnawing on a cigarette while GIANT WORDS ALIGNED WITH THE CAMERA attack its head. More words close in for the kill below. UNACCEPTABLE -- 2/5

oasis789: I refuse to believe that this is a guinea-pig -- it is CLEARLY a miniature albino rhinoceros. AND WHERE IS MY SCIENCE -- 2/5

DProject: SPACE HITLER GUINEA-PIG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -- 2.5/5

JustADreamer: This model is clearly unaware she is being photographed, could not do science with her hands tied to Bunsen burners (to be fair, neither could I, makes it difficult to science when you burn all the paperwork people bring you) and is a poor fit for the contest in general. At least she keeps herself clean and the image quality isn't terrifying! -- 2/5

Recsam511: Definitely not. -- 2/5 -- FAILED SUBCONTEST A: failed to meet quality standards

duragon: Here we see the guinea-pig transforming into its natural state of "RageWolverine" through the application of water and human flesh. Watch carefully as it sizes up its prey, the human, and goes for the throat. The human will beg "NO MR. CUDDLES NOOOOO", but the transformed guinea-pig will be heedless to its cries. -- 2.5/5

Blotunga: While I applaud this guinea-pig's Ben Stein impression, I must ask -- where is the science? All I see are books and a Ben Steinea-pig. Shameful. Dreadful. -- 2.5/5

Stooner: One of these is merely a LARPer. And the other is clearly an undergraduate -- hardly fit for the lab! -- 2.5

RESULTS HERE:

SPINORIAL -- for excellent bullshit derivation, also you ended up being the second person on random.org so WTF.

HESUSIO -- blame random.org

>_>

Still see nothing ;-p

Now see THIS ;-p

But for real science, we must go back to the third grade!

No, because my new game is not existing!

Yet!

And will also be singleplayer I don't know how you got X+EVE Online what are you even talking about

I vaguely remember you, and am having fun guessing. As a result I'll get a few misses. Don't be offended, though I'm quite proud of the hit on the currency thing.

Wait, what? The currency thing is wrong too ._.

Oh, damn. Ok, then why the word "monies"?

EDIT: OK, I see, sorry. Chill a bit though, I wasn't to know that you were engineering something, and you could have just let me know via PM to pipe down. If you enter under a very random statement you will draw cause people to wonder what you're doing..

Are we talking literal or figurative guinea pigs?

Also, welcome back, I definitely recall your name...
