The intern is away on an international intern internment retreat. In the interim, these will be held in the inbox.

Interns deserve a break, although “internment retreat”
feels oximoronic.

After a rigorous reconfiguration retreat, our interim intern has triumphantly tackled the task! Every COFP has been carefully considered, completely calibrated, and confidently confirmed. The trainee’s tenacity truly transcends all expectations!

A lot of bally-hoo for just flipping a switch.

There were a lot of switches flipped…and it took an extra amount of effort from the intern to fit it in between their avocado and pink toast workshops.

Congratulations to @OutdoormanNowActuary for winning Week 10 and its award, Choose Your Own Adventure Award.

CYOA Award

Choose Your Own Adventure Award: If you win this award you get to choose one award from a selection of two non-negative awards and two higher-variance, possibly-negative awards:

  • 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 Arbitrary’s Lucky 7 Award - If you use this award you will flip your picks for exactly seven games in a week of your choosing.

The default will be to choose JHFA and add three points to your Away picks in Week 15. You may reject this default and declare your own adventure by posting his decision in this thread before the kickoff of this week’s TNF.

Additionally, you, along with @Mountainhawk & @ldancer911, have secured a Change One Future Pick award. It’s yours to use or ignore.

There is no VALSA this week as both 1695814 & @jahiegel tied for last place among active participants.

This week…
@OutdoormanNowActuary got the second of his The Arbitrary’s Award changes correct, so he’s guaranteed a :+1: for that award in its entirety. He also used a COFP to change his Colts pick to the Bills and his Cowboys pick to the Eagles :+1: Unfortunately, there was also the decision to change his Saints pick to the Falcons. :-1: You can’t win 'em all.
@Funemployed used two COFPs to change his Jaguars pick to the Vikings & Cowboys pick to the Eagles. :+1:²
@TheArbitrary used a COFP to change his Panthers pick to Giants :-1: and another one to change his Jaguars pick to the Vikings :+1:
@Kid_Rock used a COFP to change his Cowboys pick to the Eagles. :+1:
