AE AE18 Launch & Discussion thread

[Demonic Ascent]

I disagree strongly that no shows are not a big deal.

They directly impact a path to the playoffs in ND, which last time I checked, has several payouts.

"Bad luck" of my opponent getting a walkover should not prevent me from a fair chance to earn a spot. (Using me as a general example)

In the absence of an emergency, etc...a no show should be penalized and penalized harshly.

I could give a crap they paid money into AE comps, so did everyone else. Affording them better protection than a guy trying to earn a bid to ND playoffs is ridiculous in my opinion

It's no different to teams getting a late season game against the Browns who have routinely no-showed for the last 5 years

Well played mate, well played

I got nothing after that reply.

 

[statsman74]

Dont mind the solution suggested, but I'd suggest it be pre-populated with away teams, not home teams; a non-tipper should have some kind of natural disadvantage built in, not an "automatic" 8-11 winners by making no effort.

 

[statsman74]

8-4, and can't win my division. Not a great moment to realize there are no wildcards this year.

Congrats to camsmith for clinching his first ND Division title in his tenth season with a 7-5 record being his first winning season (.403). Turning around a 1-3 start to rally strongly with 4 straight wins in the home stretch including the clutch Steve Atwater Divisional Powerplay 70-65 win against Bgt2110 in Week 10.

Congrats to the 2013 CR champ, crowman_23 for clinching his third Division title (Peyton Manning '14, Cris Carter '13) with a 8-3-1 record (.571 overall over 9 campaigns) just ahead of SimonOz (7-4-1 / 6thCR) that come down to Division tie-breakers. Crowman23 claiming the week 2 encounter before tying their second match up in Week 11 in the highly competitive Ty Law Division. Crowman23's ND Play-off record is 3-3.

Congrats to the 2017 3XKO Champ, PHX, for clinching his first ND Division title with an identical 9-3 record from 2017 (Wildcard) which pushed him all the way to the Lamar Hunt Conference Championship Game before losing to eventual champ, Superfreak (121-103). In PHX's three seasons, he has amassed an impressive .631 winning record. Currently 24th on the CR standings, just 20pts shy of the CR Top TEN. One to watch when the whips get cracking.

Congrats to the 2011 HRS Raffle Romp winner, SWANNIES, for clinching his third ND Division title (Len Ford '16, Thurman Thomas '11) with his best record of 9-3 at a decent .511 winning record over eight campaigns. Is currently 3rd seed despite being 45th on the CR standings.

[Woodson]

Apologizes to the delay for DZE and mix up in DETAIL that has been dealt out via ae18clubhouse.com (I know, tumbleweed central) but there has been an irregularity (read: Glitch) found in HIDE & ZEKE's scoreboard meaning he was incorrectly denied a higher score which was 96. So glad RiggoDiesel44 surpassed that number by ONE.. so the ND is not impacted. Phew! As I hadn't received any prior communication on Monday night regards the scores, I distributed them myself and got the nod of approval from balmainforever, HOWEVER, I found an odd occurrence on the AE website on Wednesday night that has been rectified by JD tonight (he has been away for last 48hrs) so here I am LETTING the 18 DZE survivors know..

I would like to hold my hand up to be the beneficiary of the next glitch. Thanks in advance!

 

[sblack]

Is there a current list of who's still alive in DZE?

No stones unturned response.

Okay 6 of you Bastards need to stuff up your week

Haha... first thing I checked at the end of the game was who had the Saints for more CR than me!

 

[Big Red Machine]

Well then... That couldn't have gone any worse for me.

My comeback was cute over the last month and a bit but Drew Brees has me in a rather large hole now.

 

[11sjw]

Yep, knocked me out of DZE as well.

 

[Chism]

Yep, knocked me out of DZE as well.

With a bloke named Jordan Lewis sealing your fate in 3XKO.......

Pretty ironic for a Hawks fan!

 

[Woodson]

A stunning TNF result has delivered the 3XKO tomahawk chop on Chiefs fan, 11SJW, as the Cowboys D continue to be amongst the stingiest in the business. Boosts for a couple of Cowboys fans, Chism & Marcuz for their play-off hopes as well as the 2015 DZE Super Six champ, wce_all_da_way.

 

[peterbuch74]

Successfully avoided DZE already! Phew

 

[peterbuch74]

Looks like my CR season record of 1592 is safe for another season
Leaders would need to average 120CR+ in the remaining 4 weeks to pinch it.

Playing in the AFC East of AE every year makes it easy eh?
