Going into the night game…

PERFECT WEEK ALERT!!!

PERFECT WEEK ALERT!!!

PERFECT WEEK ALERT!!!

…the question isn’t “Who will win this week?” The question is, will the Chiefs & Cowboys win, thus, giving @OutdoormanNowActuary a perfect week and Week 14 named after him?

I probably won’t make it to the end of the game tonight, so expect a writeup tomorrow evening.

Best of luck to @OutdoormanNowActuary and, by extension, the Cowboys.

BTW, if there’s a tie, it’s not a perfect week.

373

Boy, the cowboys sure bungled that one. :sheesh: :crazy_face:

Nah. Gotta go 0-17 to get that crown.

Parsons definitely isn’t trying!

Congratulations to @OutdoormanNowActuary for winning Week 14 and its award, Numbers’ Nudge.

NN

Numbers’ Nudge: This is an enhanced version of the RPL7 award. The winner of this award will have n points to distribute in the same way as the RPL7 award. n is determined by the number of wins correctly predicted in the week this award is won. The results of this award affect only the award winner’s results.

OutdoormanNowActuary has 12 points to distribute as he sees fit. The default will be something I make up at random once TNF rolls around…probably applying all twelve points towards a team that you picked that had more players pick it than its opponent. This may be rejected by declaring your own method of application before TNF’s kickoff.

You’ve also unlocked another coveted Change One Future Pick award! Will you wield it with calculated precision, unleash it with chaotic glee, or confuse everyone (including the intern) with your strategy? The choice is yours—may it be as legendary as it is unforgettable.

The VALSA this week goes to @IPD. Declare your COFP before TNF or forfeit it.

This week… the awards scene was a showcase of guaranteed greatness. Three awards declared, three flawless executions. The intern didn’t even bother with the salt jar this time—there was no risk of backfires, just an endless parade of celebratory high-fives, approving nods, and enthusiastic thumbs-ups. In fact, the intern’s been so busy basking in the glow of your strategic brilliance that they’re petitioning for a standing desk to keep pace with the constant applause. Bravo, players! You’ve made it look easy—and impressively so!

@Kid_Rock used his Lovable Losers award to guarantee his Giants over Saints pick. The Saints won & so did Kid_Rock by guaranteeing this pick. :+1:
@redearedslider used his RPL7 award to add seven points to his Jets pick. The Jets lost by six points, but redearedslider’s use of RPL7 turned that into a one point win for him. :+1:
@ldancer911 used his NN(13) award to various amounts of points to his Lions, Falcons, & Titans picks. He didn’t need it for the first two, but the Titans lost by four points turning this into a tie for ldancer911. :+1:

Can awards be stacked? For example, can I use NN to add points to the 3 points a team is already getting for Jabes Home Field?
