Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Rules
All you need to do is post a Name, and an Exact Date of when that person will quit the EE team. Make your guess in bold so I can see it easily please (Look at atilla's post for good formatting).
I'm also throwing in a few other events, just guess the date for those as well.
You can guess on the same person as someone else, but not the same exact date.
When one of these things happen, the person with the closest guess will win, and PM me the game of their choice!
No colluding/self-guessing please.

EEO is released
Unfortunately, Cercul1's life is a hot **** mess. I heard his neighbor's sister's friend who lives in Hawaii knows a guy whose uncle's father-in-law's dog is sick. Looks like it's gonna be a while.

I mean, you said use h tags to make it more readable. Should I switch to bold instead?

1st April 2021 Diff shuts down forums.
One bot to rule them all, one bot to find them. One bot to bring them all... and with this cliché blind them.

yeah that's my bad lmao, i forgot h tags are awful when stacked on top of each other - look at atilla's post for better formatting imo
sorry for the inconvenience

It's all fixed now.
Also, is this topic going to get locked eventually? Post editing is allowed and maybe that'll lead to someone changing their guesses in the future.
It's not necessarily cheating, but if Xeno posts something saying that EEO is getting released on such and such a date on Discord or on EE (which is harder to track than the forums) and someone changes their guess to 6 months past that date to account for Xeno's optimism, it kind of gives them an unfair advantage.

Sorry for the double post, but to solve this you could either set a deadline and then lock, or just remove editing posts like in mafia.
Offline
Yeah that's a good point, I can't disable editing unfortunately (unless a mod does it for me), so I guess I'll make a deadline for submissions
The other option is for me to have a list of all of the guesses in the OP that I won't change
I'll think about it and update later

What happens if there's a tie? Two users can't guess the same day, but what if they're an equal number of days before and after the actual date? And which timezone is preferred if it comes down to timezone differences? These are kinda nitpicky questions but there's a real reward so I might as well put them out there.
Also, from what I understand the event guesses are judged whenever that specific event comes true. If so doesn't that make early predictions inherently better? If somebody sincerely predicts 2022 but thinks it's more likely another event will happen in 2020, it's in their best interest to predict 2020 for both, right? Because if the 2022 event happens first that means it's earlier than the user actually thought, influencing votes to be as early as a user finds any event likely to happen. With effect strategizing this means guesses act as raffle ticket, guessing the date of the earliest event. So effective guesses should be both balanced between actual speculation, and in proportion to how likely the event will come first. Is this making any sense??

look here im not gonna look at other people's guesses i'm just gonna guess something random and hope no one else guessed it

I'll be using the tried and tested "The Price Is Right" method of closest-without-going-over.
(eg. if Adam picks June 1st, and Ben picks June 3rd, and it happens on June 2nd, Ben wins)
As for timezones, I'll be looking at the time the official announcement was made on the forums in AEST (UTC+10) so I don't have to do any maths
I might shake the details of the rules around later, but really this is a bit of fun, and there's plenty of prizes in the pool to go around so I don't think it'll be too much of an issue
