Rumor: 1 vs. 100 out of beta and giving prizes next week photo

Could it be? Could the grand online, social experiment that is 1 vs. 100 be moving out of beta next week and allowing everyone to win prizes galore? If host Chris Cashman wasn't just rambling nonsensically during a recent game, then yes, yes it could.

A poster over at Xboxic was reportedly playing the game when a contestant decided to go with the money instead of the mob. If the game wasn't in beta, this would have netted him a cool 1200 MS points, but it was in beta so he got nothing. However, right about this time, Cashman reminded everyone that prizes wouldn't be going out until next week. Oops, no one knew prizes were coming next week in the first place.

Evidently, he quickly tried to backtrack after letting it slip out of the bag and then mentioned a big announcement coming next week. It's just so hard to keep those secrets inside of you sometimes, isn't it? Sometimes you know something and you just have to go out there and tell at least 101 people about it or you'll just explode.

Yeah, I can't comprehend how people mix up "could of" with "could have." It doesn't even make sense.

@Molotov: Say "could've" out loud. Doesn't it sound like "could of" to you? The mistake is understandable for me, at least.

We may be able to come to an agreement on "coulda" though.

I also came into these comments just to complain about the poor grammar mistake. I can understand how it happens, but that doesn't excuse it.

@Doomsday Forte: bullshit

When you say Could've you're saying a conjugated verb. "Could of" is not grammatical. It just doesn't make sense. When you speak your brain doesn't produce sounds, it produces grammatically correct sentences. Even heavily retarded people have a Grade A grammar when they speak.

So cut the crap now

@Interstate: I know it's a contraction. But I'm saying sounds for a reason. You know fo-neh-ticks, right? That's what I was going after.

I know "could of" is wrong, but grammer si teh scks on the Internet. *shrug*

@Doomsday Forte: Yeah, I know /fə•nÉ•tәks/ it's a branch of linguistics, it explains the physical properties of vocal sounds, not BAD SYNTAX.

Sorry guys. I just went a little too colloquial. Image fixing now.

Just thought I'd put in my two cents: I was playing 1 vs 100 that night and there wasn't any slip up like that. All he said was there'd be a big announcement next week. Whoever posted it on xboxic jumped the gun.

That would be cool, except I haven't made it to the mob or the one since I started playing despite my good score. I want to be out of the crowd just once already especially if points are getting handing out soon.

Also nice Bob Saget picture. I actually have the man's autograph.

Cashman also commented on how there were still glitches, and that they wouldn't move out of beta until the top scorer glitches were fixed.

Oddness - I just played the thing for the first time last night. Would be cool to play the game for proper prizes.

Also,this wouldn't have happened if Bob Saget were hosting.

Not was. Were.

In typing, I sometimes use the non-standard contraction wouldn't've.
