Guess the Average Reincarnated

The goal of this game is simple: choose a number between 1 and 200 (no decimals!) that you believe will be the average guess submitted by players and pm me that number.
Games shall be conducted weekly so submit your guesses before Saturday!


There is a catch though--if two or more players select the same number, neither player that selected the same number can win!

Scoring Rules:
  • If you guess the average
    perfectly
    , you receive 3 points.
  • Otherwise, the player with the closest guess (subject to the tiebreaker rules below) gets 1 point.
Tiebreaker Rules:
  1. Closest guess without going over wins.
  2. Drop the lowest and highest guesses and recompute the average score. Select the closest among the closest from the previous pool.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as necessary to ensure one winner.
  4. First to submit wins if all else fails.
One last thing: each week, I will submit a public roll (via the dice tag) in thread that
will
be used in computing the average for the following week; however, I cannot win games. (Note: You
can
select the number I rolled in the thread.)

First deadline shall be next Saturday, March 17, 2018 6:00 AM EDT (GMT-4:00) or in (expired on 2018-03-17 06:00:00).

Surely if two people can't pick the same number you'd only need the first tiebreak rule?
Fickle, cold and harsh or caring and warm
Strongly opinionated or barely invested, but a constant
You know the wind will always come back.

Probably, but it never hurts to have a backup in case I missed a situation.
