Submission amount bets
Betting the amount of submissions has been a running joke in the MaGMML community ever since Discord servers for the contests were created. All three contests that have had major public Discord servers have engaged in some sort of betting, and it has become somewhat of a tradition to give whoever was the closest to the actual number of submissions a special role.
Make a Good Mega Man Level 2
The tradition originated during the development of this game. Several devteam members made guesses on February 15th, 2017 (approximately 4 days before the deadline). NaOH's guess, 81, turned out to be exactly on the money, and she received a joke "Smartass" role.

The total number of submissions to Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 was 190 (Though 11 of these levels would be excluded for breaking contest rules), making Nitro Striker the one to correctly guess the number, although MegaVile guessed the number of entries to actually make it into the final game.
Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level
Several submission guesses were informally made for this contest as well. TimeLink ended up being the closest, with an original guess of 110 (which initially seemed to be right, until several DQs were issued for various reasons), only 3 levels away from the actual total of 107.
