Yea, an editorial =/= (does not equal) a report

Well it seems the site I was planning on using isn't going to work out, since it's in New Zealand, etc... However I have found one on the continental USA and will be looking into it :D

I say the "All Predictions" tab, I like that so I can see where my money on a question is at. I agree with kruijs, let us choose on our settings :D

Ok, just spoke with Nigel and he said something like "well if we had a lawyer he/she would probably advise us not to let you but, go ahead and make them" and "it will be something like a limited license"
according to my (preliminary) calculations it will be around $15 each (plus shipping). So how does that sound guys? (and no, AAA you don't get a family discount :P )

Because of the trade mark I was thinking that some of the money might have to go to Hubdub, Nigel said he will be talking to Rob and will get back to me tomorrow (Tuesday the 15)

I have no money on this market and I feel it should be settled when they announce it, in par with the Spitzer clause

I just noticed! "HubDub, The News Prediction Game" is trade marked... Nigel can we work something out? If not, it's ok!

Skipper shared an idea in Hubdub on April 14, 2008 22:20:

HubDub dog tag merchandise!

I was thinking on how to expand HubDub from the internet and into real life, then it dawned on me: HubDub dog tags! Using a Laser-Cutter (from an undisclosed website based in NZ) and some Vector Imaging Software (Inkscape) I have created dog tags that will say "HUBDUB <line> THE NEWS PREDICTION GAME" the dog tags are 4.125inches x 2.25inches and have a 0.2inch diameter hole. I can add names, however I will have to wait until I have a full sheet of dog tags to cut down on shipping and material costs. The background will be white with the lettering black. (however suggest new colours and I may use them). A full sheet is either 2, 12 or 20 dog tags. "So," you may ask yourself, "what if I want 3 with the name Skipper?" Well, tell me that, I will put them on a sheet, and when 9 more are ordered I will buy them, have them made, and shipped, then ink them up, and send them to you. "How will I pay Skipper?!" you may also ask! Well I will be trying to set up a paypal, but in the mean time cash or check will have to be sent... unless anyone else has an idea.
