AE AE18 Launch & Discussion thread

[statsman74]

FYI - the values are small and not relevant for me, but might be for others who tipped better - my hot streak "best streak" is not calculating properly - it suggests it is 1 but instead it is a massive 2;

ATL x
NOR x
BAL yep
GB yep
DET x
LAR yep

JeffDunne yeah there appears to be a small bug in hot streak re: current streak.

3XKO UPDATE - WEEK 1

Well what a way to start the AE season with 2 people already knocked out after week 1. (Rookie The Red Goldmine and experienced AE competitor McGarnacle). Woodson may be able to confirm but in my time i can't remember that happening. Neither can i remember there being 87 strikes in one round so 2018 is shaping up as one for the record books.

Only Jatz and Kadog were good enough/arsey enough to avoid a strike so both go into round 2 as leaders with their full 3 strikes still available.

Breakdown of strikes :

Saints - 49
Lions - 18
Steelers - 14
Chargers - 3
Cards - 2
Colts - 1

Breakdown of competitor strikes :

No Strikes - 2
1 Strike - 39
2 Strikes - 21
Eliminated - 2

Best of luck in week 2

Also Woodson & JeffDunne not a huge issue but it's showing up with the Ravens logo next to my name on the AE site when it should be J-E-T-S. Same thing happened last year and was fixed but now seems to have reverted back to Ravens.

You're not the only one with aments required:
PowerRanger04 = Cowboys
Jayzah = Packers
Darkknight = Chargers
The Red Goldmine = Niners
Born Again Idiot = Raiders??

Yeah I noticed the glitch as well last week and chuckled. Easily rectified in user profile settings.

Packers.

Just a question ...on 3XKO ..rule is you can only pick same team max three times. What if I picked a team and they lost and cost me a strike, does that still count to max three games for that particular team?

 

[balmainforever]

If I forget to online later tonight after work, can i be put down for Balt 1 please

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I never worry about team selection dilemma's in 3KO... you can't pick a team more than 3 times if you can't get past week 3.

HOT STREAK UPDATE

Hot Streak got off to a shaky start with the Falcons loss stalling 18 streaks before they got a chance to start. A number of participants managed to get their streak before running in to some Fitzmagic. The Bucs upset of the Saints saw 52 red crosses appear on the Hot Streak board.
Surviving the carnage was AmericanCrow who took his streak to 4 before the Lions crapping of the bed ended his streak and raskolnikov who only had a streak of 1 before the Saints-Bucs games, but added the Pats, Vikes and Pack to move to 4 before the Lions got him too.

PHX also got his streak to 4 after rallying after the Saints game with the Pats, Vikes, Fins and Bengals helping him out, before the tied Steelers-Browns game ended his run.
BornAgainIdiot also failed in the Saints game, but successfully added the Pats, Vikes, Bengals and Panthers to take his streak to 4 which is both the season leading total and the best active streak entering week 2.
Joining BornAgainIdiot in the lead, with a current streak, is pedge7 who also added the Pats, Vikes and Bengals and also the Rams to be on 4 heading in to the new week.

Who will survive another week of uncertainty?

 

[AmericanCrow]

Most that sensed a danger game in Cleveland will be right up there IMO and i did to but the Chargers screwed me going down at home against a rookie QB.

Not the 1st time the Chargers have ****** me over in AE either. I still keep giving them a double digit CR though.....

BUT if i go against them as massive 7+pt underdogs rest assured they will win the campaigners.

Danger smanger...stupid Squeeler kicker hits a routine field goal, it was a lay up game

Yes, it still counts regardless of win or loss. Max you can tip for or against any one team is 3 times.

Against as well!!? Well there goes the Bills/Lions alternative week plan.

 

[arakaan]

It's time I stop entering this competition. I'm ****ing useless.

 

[simonoz]

Agreed - I do the exact opposite of my picks I take out HS for the week. Brutal round!!

 

[Chism]

This season is all over the place.

Suddenly the Browns are no longer the team to pick on and hello Bills you are up next!

 

[raskolnikov]

You know it's been a weird week when GG is second.

Woo hoo, at least not going o'fer in ND.

Skins ****ed me, Steelers ****ed me (more like Mahomes is a god), Saints somehow didn't, Broncos likewise, God bless the Fins and Bengals. Vikings snatching all the points on that easy missed FG would have been sensational but a tie nearly just as good with only 1CR on them.

Very mixed morning but going better than most I'm pretty sure. Go Boys and go Bears to finish with a decent week.

edit: stupid me, tie is actually the ultimate result when you only have 1CR on a game when everyone loses.

 

[Island Bomber]

Watched Redzone for 4 hours this morning and l can't remember kicking being so bad. The amount of missed field goals was ridiculous. I could have really used the 14 points l had on the Vikings and for a blocked punt and missed field goals to cost them the game, that was cruel. Same can be said about the Browns, should have won the game. They were easily the better side for the second week in a row and should be 2 out of 2.

Fantasy GM of the year after only one week, and now AE champion after only two weeks.

After the start I've had I think it's safe to say it's time to start etching my name on a participation medal.
