    Guess when the results will be posted...

    Alright, while we're all waiting for the results, why not simply start guessing (in the most WTF-ery way as possible - i.e., none of this say, "June 1" stuff, but rather "When the moon is high in the sky marking the end of the month the fifth, and ushering in the 30 days before the middle of the year" sorta deal).

    And the date you specified should be given in case your prose is flowery enough that no one can decode it. Obscure references get bonus points. (All date "answers" in gregorian calendar, but the way you say it may be given in any common recognizable calendar system. So you Julian and Modified Julian enthusiasts can be happy, though I think I just ruined an idea :P ).

    I went to the source for all my divination needs, the Silicon Valley Tarot.

    The reading said:

    SUMMARY:

    Your query is When will the OMGWTF contest results be revealed?, in the context of The Project.
    You drew the cards CIO of Hosts, CIO of Cubicles (reversed), and The Server. Your aggregate reading is:
    Success is not some kind of game or excitement; it is the concentration on your everyday routine.

     The answer from this shuld be evident. :D

     

    So all know who I am:

    Congratulations you are the TRWTF.

    I Ching obv (http://www.facade.com/iching)

     

    When will the OMGWTF contest results be revealed?

    Yang (Old)
    Yang (New)
    Yang (Old)
    Yin (Old)
    Yin (New)
    Yang (New)
    The present is embodied in Hexagram 25 - Wu Wang (The Unexpected): Great progress and success is indicated, while there will be advantage in being firm and correct. If he or his action be not correct, he will fall into errors, and it will not be advantageous for him to move in any direction.

    The third line, divided, shows calamity happening to one who is free from insincerity, as in the case of an ox that has been tied up. A passer by finds it and carries it off, while the people in the neighbourhood have the calamity of being accused and apprehended.

    The fourth line, undivided, shows a case in which, if its subject can remain firm and correct, there will be no error.

    The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject free from insincerity, yet sure to fall into error, if he take action. His action will not be advantageous in any way.

    The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
    Yin (New)
    Yang (New)
    Yin (New)
    Yang (New)
    Yin (New)
    Yang (New)
    The future is embodied in Hexagram 63 - Chi Chi (After Completion): We see progress and success in small matters. There will be advantage in being firm and correct. There has been good fortune in the beginning, but there may be disorder in the end.
    The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is tansforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to danger and the unknown.
    The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to brightness and warmth.

     Hmmm, it's quite obvious: the day after you read this.

    That is, only in case you read this entire message again tomorrow.
