You know ArenaNet is short-staffed when they are trying to get people to write for their website...

You've seen the Xunlai predictions our writers have made for past tournaments. Now we want to give you the opportunity to show off your own prowess at prognostication. We are looking for interesting "PvP Predictors" (as we're calling them) to forecast winners for each monthly tournament.

Wow, what a wonderfully surprising and witty name!

When can I enter my next bets actually? I still have the last championship when I open the page.

It does not really matter what you bet, you always win some points for the Zaishen Chest, the system they use almost guarantees a hit. A good bet yields more of course.

The Tournament Agent used to tell me I had 75 points (from the first month), never gave me any points for the next two months' predictions, and now doesn't seem to have any points for me at all.

And Anet is asking for volunteers to waste their time helping to pimp out this failed system that never worked properly in the first place? I can't decide whether such corporate optimism is truly inspiring or merely droll.

EDIT: Just double-checked. I made predictions with all 3 of my accounts, and got points for the first month with all 3. Now all 3 show zero (0) points.

I got all my points thus far the moment I spoke to him, listed under H, Account.

Only problem I really had with them was the one month they did not have updated guilds in the list that you could choose and they actually ended up winning, think it was vZ and another one.

But, er ... ye, kudus to the "Predictors". Make us proud!

It never lets me vote anymore.

Says it'll be open on some date that's already long passed.

They forgot to tell what's the point for people to waste their time typing random smurf guild names on Word document.

I'm wondering if that typo was deliberate, as the "n" is nowhere near where it should be. Haven't figured out what it could mean though..

Apparently, a lot of people can't spell Xunlai -.-

Quick Google search shows many instances of a Xulani Agent...

Zinger is refering to the new and improved Xulani agents, which are superior to the Xunlai agents. Why? They don't store your money, they give it all to Rahja! MUAAHHAHAH!

Whoops, thread hijacked again. Sorry. What's this about again? Oh, right, ANET doing something pointless again.
