Congratulations to Ezekial Cumberland. Hopefully you’ve made your way over here. You won the “Choose Your Own Adventure” award. I have no idea what that was anymore. Thanks to Google cache, I can tell you that it was probably this:
The award this week is Choose Your Own Adventure :
Jables’ Home Field Advantage
Random Poster’s Lucky 7
The Arbitrary Award [:] If you use this award you may flip your pick for all non-Divisional games for one team for the rest of the season.
The default will be to use the RPL7 award and apply all seven points to your Chargers over Broncos pick which is now in week 8. You may reject the default by posting your wishes in this thread, send an email to actuary1695814 [at] gmail, or I imagine this place has PMs of some sort - that may work, too.
This week…
Vorian Atreides used a COFP to pick Washington.
Patience used a COFP to pick the Bills.
Ezekial Cumberland used a COFP to pick the Packers.
Nice job, fellas.
JHFA is picking one week where all away games you’ve picked to win will get 3 extra points. There is an alternative that you can apply it to one week where you’ve picked ALL home games to win–perhaps adding 1 point to each?
RP7 is that you get seven points to allocate to any set of games you wish . . . put 3 here and 4 there . . . or pick 7 games to add a point . . . or just about anything in between the default and this last option.
twig93 used it in 2019. She went 2-3.
bluecup used it in 2017. He went 2-3.
R Daneel Olivaw used it in 2017. He went 3-2.
Not to be out done, bluecup used it again in 2017. He went 4-1.
The Arbitrary used it in 2016. He went 3-2.
That’s all I can find evidence of, and I think that’s all there is.
So, overall, we’ve gone 14-11 on it. It’s not quite the cursed-quagmire that it’s made out to be…especially thanks to bluecup. Without his second use of the award, we’d be .500.
But I think it also caused me to lose a week in 2016. Plus it’s an administrative boondoggle.
Bluecup used it twice in 2017? I didn’t know it was offered more than once a season.
Just realized I have both a week and an award named after me, and I still use my mug from Season 1. Think the goactuary board might spring for an engraved trinket for this year’s winner?
