Title: This weeks Battle for the crown
Post by: AUTailgatingRules on November 23, 2009, 11:10:37 AM
For those of you still playing, make your picks early this week.  There are 2 games on Thursday.  The format is a little different this week and should allow for some folks to make up quite a few points.  Let me know what you think.

No, for rivalry week we are going 1-20 for a totla possible score of 210.  Plenty of room to either pull away or catch back up

I don't need to pull away, I just need to win it by a point.  But whatever, it's your game.

For the record though, since you asked what I thought, I think this format blows for those at the top who have worked hard every week to build a lead from everyone.  It's like in "Family Feud" where one family dominates the other family the whole game and then the host decides to triple the points for the final round.  Yes it makes it competitive again and also negates almost everything played up to that point.

When it's 42 - 14 this Friday don't you think it would be fun if the 4th Qtr featured touchdowns that counted 30 points each?

As I said before, this is your game and your bottle of booze that you're choosing to give away simple because.  With those things it becomes your rules, as it should.  I was just answering your question, I'm sure a lot of others feel differently.

No one begged you to play...  you are welcome to roll up your pouty lip and go home at any time.

Tiger witch, AUTG asked what I thought and I'm more than entitled to oblige him with an answer.  Try not to interrupt.

Since I have no skin in this game I'll reply.  Far be it from me to agree with the bammer during Iron Bowl week, but it does seem a little odd to change the rules during the last week.  Now if you had stated at the beginning of the year that this was how you were going to do it.... ok then no one can complain.  As someone who has run these types of things before, I think it just gets sticky to change the rules now.

I demand the rules be amended post haste and sharpish.  By Proclamation 27-B, I hereby deem the contest over and Harvey Birdman declared the unanimous winner.

Now, send me my bourbon, bitch.

Shhhhh, you told me if I fondled it and called it big, you wouldn't tell anyone.  Liar

P.s. I frankly don't give a shit, and it is AUT bottle and game so he can do whatever the fuck he wants.  The troglodyte does have a point though.  I can't help it you sux at picking the fooseball.

I am absolutely amazed at how poorly I've done in this thing.  I mean, a guy like myself with endless amounts of football knowledge and the good looks to go with it.  I should be winning and the object of many female desires.

I just don't get it.

He didn't change the rules....it was like this last year when I was near the top the whole year and he did this the last couple of weeks. It has been consistent...

With a 210 point swing this week it negates an entire seasons worth of separation between who's in 1st and who's in last place.

He did the same thing last year. He will also do the bowls ranked from 1-30 or so in the same format...I led the entire year just about last year and they came from WAY down to beat my ass...

"borderline shady".  Seriously?

Good grief - bammers and their conspiracy theories. 

This is how AUTR ran it last year - rival week and bowl games were worth more.  However, he can change the rules every damn week if he wants to.  As I said - no one is making you play, and you sure as HELL ought not be whining about it.  Think about what you are doing - bitching about a game being held on the message board of a rival team, where your participation cost you NOTHING, with the chance of winning a decent prize completely contributed by SOMEONE ELSE.

Shut the fuck up.

Thanks for the opinions.  B'ham, I'm not trying to screw you out of a free bottle of bourbon.  If this were a game where everyone puts up their own money, the parameters would be set at the beginning of the year and never waiver.  Given that I am providing the prize, I like to shake things up a little at the end (did the same thing last year so it's not about you).  It rewards some of the folks that have stuck around and played all year.  As War Eagle stated, the year is not over until we pick all the bowl games (and they will be picked just like this weeks rivalry games).  

Keep picking winners and you get a free bottle of Crown Reserve.  Have a bad week over the final 3 weeks and someone else will get the booze.  Just think of it like the BCS, if you lose a game in the beginning of the year you have all year to come back.  Lose a game at the end and you are screwed.  We are in crunch time, win and you will be crowned, lose and you can go home empty handed like the rest of us.

As I said before, it's your game, your bourbon, and you certainly don't have to explain the way you freely give it.  I've enjoyed the game and will continue to do so the last 3 weeks.  I appreciate you running it.

As for Tigerbitch, shut the phuk up and stay out of AUTG and my conversation.  Trust me, you hair pie possibly understand so don't try.

I had to call a few linguists to get that sentence translated, but my response is easy:

You want a private conversation, take it to PM.  Otherwise, it's fair game, you whiny bitch.
