It's not like he made them a week before the season is going to end. Don't be such a tight ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well, I think it's fair that picks should have to be in before the season starts. I don't think that's such a weird requirement. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I am going to be less of a "tight ass" (counter ) and allow Billy B's picks to count. And Tank can post the link to his picks here if he likes. But that's it. After this, I'm going back to tight assyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I don't really care if they're counted or not, I just really wanted to get them down somewhere to see how bad I did at the end of the year. But I'm not sure, I might not have picked the Yankees to win the East if I didn't see their third inning against the Tigers while I was doing the picks.

I'd understand if there were money involved but as far as I can tell "winning" this "contest" will result in absolutely nothing. Besides, there's no way for you to know if we edit our posts so you may as well relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Furthermore, you're trying way too hard to fit in. Nobody wants to score their predictions, people just post them for fun. It's not a big deal. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnythingChicago Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm just trying to have a fair competition, kind of like Dilbert's NFL Weekly Pick'em thing. Laying down a little bit of law is all, it's not like I have a certain template and team names must be bold in team colour and what not. If they don't want to score their predictions, so be it. And I could care less about "fitting in". I bet only 20-30% of well known members around here know me, and I like it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I could care less about "fitting in". I bet only 20-30% of well known members around here know me, and I like it that way.Ah, I get it now. We make a predictions now, wait six months, and find out how we did in November. Sounds good. Since there's a decent chance we'll have some ties, have you come up with any tie breakers? I'd be happy to help with those if you want. Also, now that I understand the concept, I really admire your efforts to "lay down the law." You'll find that it's a very effective way of getting people to do what you want here. It's been my experience that a disciplined thread is usually a good thread. Even though you aren't concerned with it, I think your approach to this thread will not only help you fit in, I'd even go so far as to say that you'll be among the "well known members" before you know it. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should I? If this were who will be in the playoffs every month, than I might. But come on. This shouldn't be a competition, it should be a fun way to say hey look Team A vs Team B are in the World Series and I was right. Do you think we should make the WWE Predictions for 2011 a competition? Should we make every prediction thread a contest? NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
