    I'm a giant firefly fan, which is how I became a Whedon fan in general... I never really took to Buffy, but I have high hopes for Dollhouse. I had no idea they were planning another Dr. Horrible installment... that would be great. I have heard that the Dr. Horrible soundtrack is suppose to have new songs (and included lyrics, so you can... well... sing-along.) :)

    I don't know if your an Aaron Sorkin fan also, but my friends and I have been saying they should produce a series together... it would be destine to succeed.

    Hey Jenny, i was thinking, people should get a commision for making questions! Like 1 percent of the amount of money other non friends bet on it they should give to the guy who made the questions! or maybe 10 h$ a question of course that would come with a bunch of people making up a bunch of random questions. The first idea is better.

    Hi jen,

    Would like your opinion an an olympic question. I have found many sites/forums/blogs that have early predictions on who will win the individual apparatus medals in gymnastics.
    However there is a qualification round and only the top eight scores from each apparatus continue on to the final of that event and chance for medal.
    So, question is - Would it be better to wait until the eight finalists are known for each apparatus before asking, or ask early but run the risk of some names might not even make finals. There is a week between qualifications and the event finals which leaves plenty of time for these questions to be asked and wagering. Just checking to see if your opinion is like mine and to wait till the finalists are known.
    I found a few good sites for the gymnastics info, among them is this forum I check almost daily. It seems to have pretty knowledgeable users.

    Hijacking index questions? I think there is serious questions about whether predicting the 10's digit of the dow is newsworthy, but it is a fun question. Something like a lottery. I wish business questions were treated same way as sports markets and suspended before they started. But that isn't how it is.
    I don't see any harm in experimenting with the suspending times. I made sure it was clearly marked on each market I "hijacked".

    I like the idea. I think it should be done gradually. I'll move it to 15 minutes before on the NASDAQ on the next post and to 20 minutes next week and so on. The DJIA could be a 5 minute. My friend Kelly has been playing with alternate suspends to keep people on their toes. Thanks for the headsup.

    Ah! Jenni my friend, I see you're up now... 3 X $1,000... :)

    I was wondering when I'd see your bids!

    Plz no that my market bears no grudge on your candidate, simply an odd bit of coincidence that these two incredibly newsworthy events are shaping up to be very similar in size for "moved" money, they should both come in around a third of a billion dollars!

    When I dropped off Mrs. Valornhonor @ her job as mgr of our local AMC theatre this morning, along with a new pair of shoes that she's worn out running this week at work, she mentioned that in addition to the sellout of all five screens, all night last night for The Dark Night, that they had already sold 1,900 seats last night, for today for people that were turned away, the volumes for this movie are simply staggering!

    Have a great day,

    hi jen,

    Seeing your olympic questions got me interested in finding more info and questions to ask about the olympics. It seems really hard to find many events that already have announced who is actually participating. Maybe I'm overlooking it, but have you been able to find this info? Getting them asked soon is always better than later to give more time for users to wager on them. Let me know if you have any special sites to gain good info for question creating.
    I basically just use

    If you know of other good ones please share the knowledge.

    just a query for a superuser---i am almost certain that the amounts are different from what they were last night on the dance questions. I expected 900 minus the 150 i bet incorrectly and instead got about 500. do the amounts change after the event? I'm confused.

    Hi Jen-

    Thanks for the shout. I posted the baseball questions a few days ago when I noticed letmewinplease and taternutz didnt. A couple people left good comments on them and suggested that they possibly asked further in advance instead of just one day. I agreed, and thats the reasoning for so many past couple days. Unless someone says something about wanting to create some baseball questions or for a certain team I hope to keep them going being created at least a few days in advance.
    You superusers do a great service for hubdub. Do you guys have certain categories you monitor or do all of you all keep an eye on all sections? I notice you mostly flag/suspend/correct questions in politics and entertainment. No matter how it works I like it. I have commented or flagged and each time you guys have been there with an answer within minutes.
    Talk to you later.

    YAY you called yourself Jenster in a comment you left :-D WOOT! ... Are you trying to use reverse psychology on me? ... Well, it won't work Jenster, I guarantee you that :-P ... I may be small for my age, but I ain't no child, LOL, so it won't work on me :-)

    I'm sorry about your husband losing his luster for this awesome game :-/ ... Tell him, that we miss him dearly, even though I don't really, LOL, JUSSTTTTT KIDDINGGGG, and that we need him back! Tell him, I'll even let him win a couple, just to make him feel like he's good at it :-P
    LOL, okay, so I am like WAYYYYYY behind you both, but one day, I WILL RULE this game! Count on it ;-)

    I assume that you just made the comment on the Obama Immunity question: Thank you!

    I meant to add the option of "ABSTAINS or OTHERWISE DOES NOT VOTE" to the question, but got wrapped up in the editing of the language itself. Would you modify the question to present the third option? I wanted it to suspend at noon on Sunday because the Senate will vote on the matter next week.

    Thanks,
    Jamal

    This is an example question. Under INFO it has some special settlement rules. It seems like there is an hour time frame before close. If there is I think it is a great idea.

    DJIA - What will be the dollar (point) difference between open and close June 16, 2008?

    but, but, but ... what if Brad and Angelina are in Asia, and after they announce they have adopted a girl/boy, they ALSO announce that Angelina is 2 months pregnant -- which counts first? Or, more likely, they break up, and a week later Angelina announces she's two months pregnant ...?

    Or, or... or ...

    Jenni,

    Good morning Jenni,

    Thank you for taking time to send me a reasoned and logical comment on my massive movie marketplace.... :)

    Plz allow me to engage you in a conversation about this. Here is what I'm thinking:

    1.) I feel strongly about creating markets that are interesting, require some thought, are not completely random and require more effort and imagination than just looking up a websit and getting an answer simply.

    2.) I'm happy to be, and was anticipating this, to be the Poor Soul to add up these results, Yes, all 188 results for movies released during 2008. Which is a slight variance to the website that includes all movies SHOWN in 2008, including those that launched late in 2007, but were still showing.

    3.) I'm also willing to forgoe any wagering myself, I know it may sound a bit twisted, but personally I would enjoy tracking the bets, even without any personal benefit.

    4.) OK, maybe a little personal benefit, in the interests of full disclosure, my wife manages a theatre and me keeping up with this market for the year would be a tangible way for me to stay engaged and interested in some of the economics of her career.

    5.) As mentioned there are a lot of obscure movies here, deliberately. I started with all 2008 releases and then extracted those with limited release.

    6.) I cringe at the idea of buckling to what is looking like a recent trend of some of our members fly specking markets and quibbling, they seem to be enjoying finding things wrong with markets more than the process itself. Kind of like sitting watching an elaborate stage show but not allowing yourself to fully enjoy it because you had difficulty finding an optimal parking spot on the way in. C'mon peole, enjoy the site for what it is!

    7.) Regarding how to consider a movie, I'm going with the genre that is listed first after the movie name in comments to determine where to put it.

    In summary, I'm not loooking to cause trouble, I would be willing to personally add this all up next winter, and not wager on it myself. However, if y'all decide that I'm causing too much of a ruckus I can step back, take the void and resubmit as you've suggested. It would be a lot simpler, I admit, but not nearly as interesting I think. I chose to correspond with you here rather than comments in the hopes that you and I can talk before opening it up to the world for a squabble.

    Plz let me know what you think, I won't protest your decision any further, just wanted to let you know what I was thinking.

    Thanks again for all of your help!

    Thank you, Jenni for your kind words. I find you to be very thoughtful and reasonable as well. I'm just not a competitive person by nature, and try to keep in mind that the $ is pretend. I love a good discussion, and as a stay-at-home mom, this is sometimes the only place that I get those at an adult level, and I appreciate it when the level of discourse stays there. That said, I'm not perfect. I'm sure I'll meltdown one day as well. Happy to have you on my friends board as well.
    Regards, Smidge.

    Hey Jen,

    Tri agreed to look at a market I'm working on, thanks in advance for sharing him with me for a bit, hope y'all enjoy the one I'm cooking up. Inadvertantly it touches on several different potential categories, when he get a chance to look at it I'd be interested to hear from you which category you think it might best fit it. It contains components of several.

    Do you have the ability to change the duplicate option to Pop. of 12 countries > # of votes for me on the market you flagged a few minutes ago. Honestly, if our country can't even muster up 88M votes, it will be a sad day for democracy, but at least the optioned won't be duplicated that way.

    Can you help me with this?

    hey there red! good to hear from you. about the only thing settled this early for the tour is the names of the teams that have been invited although even that can change. each team won't name their riders (limited number) until closer to the start so that their personal success can be evaluated.

    we liked brandon and evan and both were eliminated last night. we like the 18 year old kortni (?) and william wingman (?) and i really do not like sarah from miami. she should not have been moved forward. looks like a tramp. i'm really sorry to have lost evan. he's the one who did the hat thing and they said he looked like gene kelly? we really enjoyed seeing him dance.

    how's tricks in your part of the world?

    I heard about hubdub on a site that gave a list of web addresses on participatory media. When I took a look at hubdub, I decided to give it a try. I've been working the citizen journalism scene since last year. News predicting is something that got me curious.

    I'm still wondering how I work that McCain question. I replied back to your comment. Recently, the expansion to the G.I. Bill became a hot topic due to McCain's opposition to it. Obama had found a perfect window of opportunity and attacked McCain on it.

    I finally have a weekend that I don't have to work and decided to spend some time shouting out to all of my HD friends that I've been neglecting. I've enjoyed a lot of your challenges and questions, but I'm pretty sure you have a lot more time to devote to HD than I do. Having said that I _really_ enjoy everyone's challenges. If it weren't for challenges I'd have hardly any H$ invested ... as it is I'm only 1/3rd invested.

    Pic of the girl huh? Well, the pic of the cat will have to do :-P ... You see, the girl just broke up recently with her bf, and I only met her like 8 weeks ago, plus she just left (Thur) for Rwanda on a mission trip... So yeah, she knows I really dig her, but with both of our summers kinda far apart, I must wait like 7 more weeks till she returns, so I am BACK on HubDub, lol, but when I get a pic of her, I'll post it for ya :-D ... I only have like this little pic of her from her profile on thecity.marshillchurch.org so it'd not be like appropriate for me to post it, as people may think that she is me, and that'd just be weird, LOL :-D

    So yeah, that's where I've been, and for like the last 7+ weeks, I can't hardly eat, been waking up early for some odd reason, all that emotional stuff, haha ...
