More eggs on the sands, more time for speculation! Much like in the past, bets are simple: Take the following form and fill in your bets! You can edit your posts up until the first egg hatches, after which I will lock up this thread and keep track of where we’re at!

Because the theme is a mystery, bets will be judged for 1 thing:
Accurate color distribution


-With an obvious note that probably is going unsaid, Staff cannot make serious bets as we know the general egg distribution.
-After all eggs have hatched, I’ll compile who had the most accurate guesses and distribute your prizes! Hooray!!
- Because of previous complaints, I will be *randomizing* prizes from all available eggs for both IC and OOC betting. This means you don't get to pick which prize you get! Sorry!
- Because of Previous Complaints, people can only win 1 egg from both IC and OOC Betting!

- At *LEAST* 2 eggs will be given away in *this* thread for accurate guesses - there are more prizes to be rolled from in the IC Betting thread if you want a look at more potential prizes!
- There will be 2 prizes for participation! 1 for EVERYBODY who participated and 1 for EVERYBODY who participated and DID NOT WIN!
- This is NOT the place to make bets on things such as twins/triplets/multiples/???. Keep your totals to how many PC eggs are on the sands! No more!

[b]Guesses:[/b] (Only include the PC eggs originally listed!)
Whites:
Greens:
Blues:
Browns:
Bronzes:
Golds: (Pach bets they'll all be gold, just you watch)


Again, you have until the first egg HATCHES to fill in and edit your bets!


Bonus Note: Pach is running this as a *player* not as a *staff member* and I want it to be treated accordingly. There has been an issue in the past with distinguishing Pach's player-related shenanigans and how they were treated.

How Pach will determine scores:

FOR COLOR TOTAL GUESSES:
REMEMBER, THIS WAS ONLY FOR NON-SURPRISE BABIES (so only the originally listed eggs will count)
If there was a color and you didn't put it (RE: White/Gold), it is -1
If you went over the number of a color, it is -1 per number over
If you went under the number of a color, it is -1 per number under
The lowest offset has the closest guess!

So to my SHOCK AND AWE, we ended up with a Four Way Tie for betting because of all of the twins!

This four way tie was between Houllow*, Prism Shine, Tatterpixie, and Princess_Feylin!

*because Phil won an IC bet as well, they don't get a second prize, lmao.

I'll break down scores below so ya'll can see, but first:

Because I super-duper did not expect twins (SURPRISE!!!), we are one again falling to previously established rules about twins from the Big Cat Betting as seen below the cut here
VV


HOW TWINS ULTIMATELY EFFECTED OOC BETTING:

I compared the number of each baby, twin or not, to each number.

Example: There were 3 (non mystery) bronzes, even if one was a twin. If you put there would be 3 bronzes, you were right!

If you'd have been right on the browns as well with IC numbers (twin included), you would also be right! Twins counted for both or either!

If you were under on brown or bronze by 1 I gave it to you.

If you went OVER the number that hatched of the color it still counted against you.


With those rules in mind, the final numbers were:

Whites: 0
Greens: 6 (or 7)
Blues: 3 (or 4)
Browns: 3
Bronzes: 3
Golds: 1 (or 2)

The 'or' and base numbers were determined by who was listed as the 'egg' and who was listed as the 'twin' on the front page of the hatching! The lower number means if you guessed under, you were only counted as off by the lower number.

NOW. I'm going to go settle the IC bets, then come back here to roll the 2 participation prizes and figure out the homes for eggos after that! (SEE: I will randomize who gets which egg and share screenshots for proof as done previously!)

NOTE: Participation prizes were pointedly set aside as that, so those 2 prizes are specifically for the participation prizes, so they won't be part of the randomizing

Final randomized list is Here!
NOTE 1: 2 of the extra eggs were given to the bosses as they couldn't participate in betting even if they wanted to!
NOTE 2: I only used my name as a placeholder because I have a few 'extras' to sort out! I am NOT keeping 3 eggs even between 2 clutches XD)
NOTE 3: Eggs 12 and 13 were the participation prizes so spot 12 is actually spot 14!
