   I was just reminded while posting my honorary title which includes Goddess of   
   Eeps that the group was down when I started the 2011 version of the Skywatch   
   game. This one will take less keeping track of, I think.  Here's how it goes   
   (copying from JMSnews.com:   
      
   Those of you who have been here a while will remember other times when I ran a   
   game to guess when new JMS projects will be announced. Since we have one that   
   JMS thinks will be announced soon, I thought it would be a nice idea to start a   
   new game with some differences from previous versions. Ready? Here's the rules   
   for picking dates:   
      
   - Each poster will get to choose three dates when they hope that a new   
   announcement will be made.   
      
   - Each date can only be claimed once. In case of multiple requests, first   
   request based on the time stamp on my computer gets the date.   
      
   - All guesses need to be within this calendar year and all three guesses need   
   to   
   expire before choosing new dates.   
      
   - I'll post the updated list of dates claimed semi-regularly but will at least   
   try for once a month.   
      
   Now for the winning bit:   
      
   - A winner will be declared when an announcement is made about a new deal that   
   JMS has made or the first specific announcement that a project has gone out for   
   purchase (such as the recent 'Ticktockman' script). The project has to be   
   verifiable without registering (ie: the leaked sites for the above script were   
   passworded so JMS' post to Facebook would be the verifiable time for deciding a   
   winner). The announcement that JMS is writing his autobiography doesn't count   
   until it's finished and he tells us he's submitted it to publishers (or at   
   least   
   sent it to his agent).   
      
   - Whoever's guess is *closest* to the date will be the winner. In the case of   
   equidistant guesses, an alternate (both identical) prize will be awarded both   
   winners.   
      
   - The first three prizes have been chosen:   
   First Announcment - Babylon 5 shot glass (very rare)   
   Second Announcement - Babylon 5 playing cards (very rare)   
   Third Announcement - B5 Stargate Pin - Starry version (very rare)   
      
   - All guesses need to be posted here in this thread to be counted. I *may*   
   extend the game to a couple of other sites but I'll post if that happens.   
      
   That's all I can think of. This time I'm not even going to guess because it'd   
   be   
   silly to award myself prizes I've already got, wouldn't it?  I am going to   
   sticky this so I'll be sure to check it regularly.   
      
   Questions? Comments? Let the guessing begin!
