I'm fine with the extra $5 but it seems like that's already been decided. I think the cutoff time is fine the way it is, but would support having autopicks only happen once or not at all.

 

If we are going to support auto picks, I too favor having a default slate picked prior to race 1 that gets used in cases where no picks are made since the previous round. However, this will require some coding, as the current setup has code that populates entries and simply persists until changed. Will consult with Jeremy on how easy that would be to implement.

 

Really solid chance these are the same people unless there are more of us.

 

money sent. $80

please leave the rules alone. no way is a Day 1 autopick helpful. Like MM93 breaking his arm in the first race, it's motorcycle racing, not checkers.

 

Im in!

I am not seeing your logic here, nor your comparison to checkers. Obviously, having a pick get injured for the year on your default list would be (conditionally) costly, but equally costly for whoever picked that person for that spot. And in selecting that order, you are likely thinking in aggregate position, not specific to a track -- its effectively estimating the final championship order (at least if you want to maximize your returns). Again, the refence point for this game is the original motogp.com game where failure to pick for a round resulted in zero points. I am of the opinion that there isn't a lot of compelling justification for the failure to pick a round being a significant ding. I am also willing to provide for proxy picks in cases where known circumstance makes technically making picks likely unworkable. I don't like the failsafe for laziness, which is how it predominantly manifests itself. As it stands the game has lost some of its basic requirements for being "active". So, like the above, I think you would want to spell out why your vote makes sense (and thus attract like-minded votes). Or just say "Dave, that's dumb!". That may work too.

 

I remember being close with Papa one year on the .com game and forgot to make picks, and that's basically the end of that. But that was their game and this is ours.

Since we happen to improve upon the game, and made our own rules, I don't think the original game rules matter any longer. Also, that game was free, this one we are paying with some earned greenbacks. The way we've done this, everyone technically still has a chance every race to win, and not counted out of the season. And, most times last week's picks don't translate to wins the next week, especially now since we won't have back to back races often, ever? again.

TL;DR Life Happens.

 

He's saying that if he doesn't win the Fantasy league, he's going to launch the entire gameboard and pieces in the air and storm off like a toddler. Or at least the equivalent of that where he inducts a virus onto Jeremy's website and bricks all functionality.
