Hello all,
To celebrate this season of love and my continuing gathering of souls, I'm going to run a bit of a contest. The prize is a Well Song sung of lost love. (Note to mods - I tried to find if there was any rules about contest runs by players, didn't find anything. If this is not allowed, just let me know and I'll remove this).
Contest Rules:
1. Each player may put a single number in a comment below. This number can be editted at any time between the contest's beginning and 9:00PM EST on Monday Feb. 15th. Any entries edited after that time will be ignored
2. The closest number to the amount of souls in my possession on Wednesday Feb. 17th at 9pm
3. If you do not have a link to your profile in your signature, please put one in your entry
Hints to give you an idea of where the number might be:
At time of writing, I am currently at 1796609 souls
On an average day outside of events, I normally get around 4,000 to 5,000 souls per day
You can check my number of souls in my profile at any time
I will not be accepting any social actions or gifts during this period
Happy guessing and my the Lady of RNG favor your guess

Goodness gracious me. I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed. Of all the luck, mine happens to come home on this. I suppose I should add spiriphagic prognosticator to my resume. I shall cherish the ominous chant from the well, and remember it always as it haunts my dreams. Thank you, so very much.
If anyone's interested, I chose my number by choosing a random number between 4000 and 5000 (with an RNG) and calculating how many souls might be collected after, I think, 3 days and 4 hours (the time between my submission and the contest end). So it really was luck more than anything.

Considering he has been collectiong souls for a long time and his current goal is 3 millions, I don't think he will sell the souls.

In the event of a tie the first person to guess the number will get it, so I'd suggest not having the same number as someone else

Entries have ended (I'm actually a bit late on that, but never mind).
As for gathering souls, my extra actions go towards the unfinished business, as well as playing Implausible Penance and the option on the Royal Bethlehem.
