Casinostocks , how many Khuks are accounted for at this time?
I assume you have a total count ready.![]()
This bolded part right here makes me not trust your numbersYou asked so the resident beancounter ought to answer
It's hard to get an exact count because some people just made a claim without specifying numbers. So let me run by some plausible scenarios:
At the time of this post, I think that there are ~ 120 claimants (discounting the first few posts and then those who dropped out already, plus maybe a double post or two?) Let's say that Nathan keeps the preorder open for a whole week and let's assume that he closes out the preorder Friday eve or on Saturday morning... It seems to me that there are a few stragglers per day signing up since yesterday so optimistically maybe 150 individuals will sign up in total. Conservatively speaking if half go for 2 and the other half for 1, then 225 units and optimistically if 2/3 go for two Kuks and 1/2 for one, then the preorder numbers ramp up to 250. If I really really cared, I'd be looking at every post to guess a more accurate distribution pattern but I don't get paid for this shyte!
My edumacated guess after making a number of fairly reasonable assumptions is that Nathan will probably be looking to make somewhere around 300 of these and then I'm thinking that there will be some further blanks (10%?) that perhaps Mark and Nathan will have some evil future plans for?![]()

Since you're the smart one how does one go about making a fake account to get more? I had a hard enough time making this one. Kinda like how does someone have a second family??? I don't feel I have enough time for the one I got. All kinda questions. But I guess I don't need a second acct since I didn't get on the first one.
