The person responsible would have to take a screenshot. We'll want one for the record anyway.

It can be done alright. You need to be logged in and monitoring the total, once it gets to within one post, you check who posts next on the 'Latest Post' page and bingo, there's your winner!

Of course, if you were Machiavellian enough you could wait until exactly the right moment and then take the prize yourself! :twisted:

A better way to do it might be to hold a kind of Watch party around the event, and to give the honour of the 1,000,000th post to someone like jay, or (dare I say it) yourself. That could be a bit of fun. Lots of people around the world having a beer and celebrating a big Watchaversary. It'd be a bit like a virtual 'Fest :lol:

Virtual Fest! We could do Skype or Ventrilo or something.

:LOLS:

Having to be logged in is different. And you'd have to keep refreshing the page.

Anyway, we'll worry about it when we get closer. I like the idea of giving it to Jay. :D

When I read this I thought, 'Av has only posted 1200 so far this year! We're doomed!!!!' :cry:

But then I realised what it actually referred to and that Av is probably up around 4000, so we're saved!!!!!! :lol:

Hahaha, we're still on track for 2.5k this month, which will be our best for some time, but only if we keep it up. :D

And now I've got Whip This Way running through my head. Apparently my brain just wants to mangle all the lyrics this week.

Tee-hee!

I wanna invite goofy writers who blog to come play The Sentence Game..
Sentence Game is the BEST!
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

And yet we're still a little slow compared to our blazing start this month. :D Ah well, every little bit helps.

I guess I could hit Mallory's again. You know, for the greater good.
