AE 2012 Armchair Endzone - Discussion

[Woodson]

I DEMAND 3xko re-starts.
Look at the results this week, it's unfair on the competition that players like SodaPop have 4 selections. It's blatent cheating.

ps - Can I restart with 2 rather than 3?

Fact of the matter... it's a 'innocent program error' that showed up on AE website. Sodapop can't control that. No need to call it blatant cheating. PLEEEASE! settle now.

For the record: Sodapop had selected NE - CHI - DET in week #1. Three from Three. Week #2 his picks were: HOUS & SF (submitted) as he was having issues with the third selection which wasn't activated. Cinci was chosen as his THIRD 3XKO team after I notified JD (about Manureid having the same issue) on the Sunday.

Dont have to take it so serious.
I see my chances going down the toilet and im picking on the 1 thing that might improve my chances.

1 bloody point!! 0-2 in ND and near the arse end in CR. FMAE!!!

 

[Chism]

And we have our first winner of the year that didnt bother to even tip in Quesera who knocked off Oscarman who did tip. Penalty needs to be higher if you don't tip.

First of many I think sadly. Is it really that hard to get online once a week to tip?? If we have our usual 5% of rookies that drop out late in the year and stop tipping you are going against a coin toss opponent for maybe a spot in playoffs.

The penalty for ND just needs to be that you can't win that particular head to head if you don't put any of your tips in regardless of the score you get from the default, missing a couple of games (ie Thursday night or Monday night games) in a week however shouldn't make you ineligible.

Yeah agree with this as i can understand missing a Thursday night game etc but like you said not tipping for a whole week should exclude you from winning a head to head match up.

 

[larkis]

Cant hand out free wins either. If your depth chart is sufficient then let them win

Great - just tip the opposite of the Pig Rigg and you have 100 points straight up

 

[JeffDunne]

I'll be taking the site down soon so I can open the 3XKO.

[JeffDunne]

3XKO is now open unless you've been eliminated.

I'll be sending out emails early tomorrow, so if you've tipped please check the email to make sure they're ok.

You already said that

I can only select one 3XKO choice. I'm guessing it's because I only entered 2 last week (one wrong), while I got my default pick as my 3rd re Woodson comment

As shameless as it gets but there was a full discussion thread pre-season in regards to this situation. GG being the innovator to the 'NO PENALTY POINTS*' for Worst to Best 32-1 default which I passed as an option for the No Shows who didn't submit their lists. *1CR (TNF losing team) for first time overlooked is the only penalty.

As pointed out in this post #9 << which you 'liked' at the time.

Bottom line is that with INDY getting up, that was the BIG ONE (16CR) with the MOTHER OF WRECKING BALLS... the flippin' CARDS!! allowing Quesara a 23 point turnaround.

Oscarman may feel somewhat dudded but allowing only 1CR for MNF was asking for trouble.

 

[exe ex machina]

The 32-1 with no penalty adds a great dynamic. He 'luckd' out the colts winning and the cards winning, while another week with different matches the worst teams getting the high CRs would mean a loss for the person in ND.

And to repeat as Larkis said before the whole reason the depth chart is there is to allow people who for any reason can't make their manual tips to get a score for the week. Keeps them in the comps and doesn't gift people an automatic win either.

As so much is luck and random in ae anyway, not just predicting winners but ND matchups themselves, winning with a low score, losing with a high score, depending who you play, then it's not against the spirit or nature of the comp to have people given a 32-1 for not tipping randomly win or lose their ND matchups

Duly noted sblack. You have TWO lives left with Cinci & San Diego being OFF the boards this week for you.

As for Raskolnikov, he got GB as his CR default pick (only one allocated instead of two) having carried over TWO lives from week 1. Patsies eliminated to make it one.

Just emailed JD with the 'clarifications' for him to amend.

You know I think you're a fool but you somehow keep topping yourself, week after week. Pull your head out of your ass, Rigg.

It's more or less to lose a playoff spot because your rival was gifted a win against a no show when you would of earn all your wins would leave me with a sour taste in my mouth.

 

[tomatosauceling]

Just like to point out that I won my ND matchup this week.

TOMATOS'LING defeated ALBERTONROB 88-77

In the standings it says I am 0-2 when I should be 1-1

It took you that long to realise it?
At least you took your own advice and pulled your own head of your arse

Unable to refresh AE and BF threads every 3 seconds just in case sorry Rigg.

Nice score in AE and well done in 3xko this week btw.

 

[GeeCats07]

Had trouble tipping the past two weeks as when I enter my tips and save, it just resets when I log back in later. Is this just my problem trying to do it earlier in the week or is my timing bad on when JD is editing things?

EDIT: Got it working on the third attempt. All good.

 

[JeffDunne]

sblack & Raskolnikov your 3xko should be fixed.
