(Or, you guys can all keep picking the same teams, and possibly have this go on forever, or all go home losers).  |

I WIN!!!
Er.... Once it gets down to only two players left, if they both pick the same team, the player to post first wins (assuming that team wins). That will keep johnny-come-lately from copycatting the first poster and dragging this out for weeks on end. -- Shine on you crazy diamond... |

 jabarnutLight Years AwayPremium,MVM join:2005-01-22 Galaxy M31 kudos:2 | Lol...thanks for clarifying, Rockot...I was seriously wondering about a scenario like that.  -- I had a life once.....now I have a Computer and a Modem. |

 rockotman...Blown On The Steel BreezeEmerging Research join:2000-08-06 DSotM kudos:2 | I think I had to make the same threat two years ago, too. |

 evePremium join:2003-01-02 Alexandria, VA | reply to rockotman Well, I disagree with that rule. I don't check the forum every day and every hour for your post!
I suggest PMing you when it gets down to the final two. -- Hi. Bye. |
|
 rockotman...Blown On The Steel BreezeEmerging Research join:2000-08-06 DSotM kudos:2 | I didn't ask for anyone's agreement. |

 evePremium join:2003-01-02 Alexandria, VA | reply to rockotman retract your claws there, chief. -- Hi. Bye. |

 rockotman...Blown On The Steel BreezeEmerging Research join:2000-08-06 DSotM kudos:2 | No claws. Just stating the way it is. |

Er.... Once it gets down to only two players left, if they both pick the same team, the player to post first wins (assuming that team wins). That will keep johnny-come-lately from copycatting the first poster and dragging this out for weeks on end. I would suggest changing that a little. If the final two players pick the same team, that pick is discarded and both players choose again. Repeat until they have different teams. Discarded picks cannot be chosen again in the current week, but don't count against disallowed teams in future weeks. -- Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty - Ronald Reagan |

 jabarnutLight Years AwayPremium,MVM join:2005-01-22 Galaxy M31 kudos:2 | Or, it could be simplified even more. Once it's down to the last 2 or 3 guys, it could be a strict rule that you can't pick the same team, period. (Easy enough, looking at who posted first, and/or the time stamps). But rockotman is the boss on this one, and he can do whatever he wants. (Including adjusting the results so I win every year).  -- I had a life once.....now I have a Computer and a Modem. |

 | I disagree with the last two posts: a) players shouldn't discard posts because they happen to be the same b) there should not be any restriction on picks either, aside from not being able to re-use one What if the scenario happens late, and they both used up most of their picks?
My opinion is that PM-ing picks would be the best option.
Alternatively, we could start the 2nd poll now, so we wouldn't to worry much about those still alive in the 1st one.  -- Wacky Races 2012! |

Let's just declare Edge the winner in this one. (The other poll would be over). Since he at least picked a different team, he deserves the win. And we'll move on to the second chance poll.  -- I had a life once.....now I have a Computer and a Modem. |

 rockotman...Blown On The Steel BreezeEmerging Research join:2000-08-06 DSotM kudos:2 | reply to rockotman Geez, what a bunch of whiny little bastages!
I don't like the PM idea at all, so that ain't happening. Capiche?
But I kind of like footballdude 's idea.
So when it gets down to two remaining players, if they both want to pick the same team, then that pick gets eliminated for the week, and the two pick again...
and again...
and again...
and again...
If after four picks, they each have the same selections, then they post a point total for the game.
If that number is the same, them screw 'em. There is no winner, and they can be ostracized by the rest of yin'z for being pricks.  -- Shine on you crazy diamond... |
