Hey Bear, thanks for joining us. Hilarious is right ... I think it will get quite interesting after 2 or 3 weeks. The smack talking alone should be worth the price of admission.


I'd like to THINK I have something of an advantage here, since my average vote received is 5.6ish and that's comprised of a LOT of throwaway entries I put no real effort into over the years. But then again, I suspect I'm not alone in that position, so... Players like tim-the-too, the doc, and judi have my admiration for tackling this particular mountain.

Judging by how many people are ready to compete in this...maybe, management might take this as a sign that everyone is getting itchy for league!

Or maybe just itching to raise their average...

BTW, do Free Studies count?

Yes -- subject to rule 3 -- i.e., so long as you either post a message to the thread ahead of any other entries you make that week saying "don't count these, wait for my FS entry," or the FS is the only entry you have for that week.

I'll post a reminder in the thread and update the OP when it comes up.

I think you should add whiterook to this list as well :)
I am picking him as my odds on favorite to win :)

What an awesome way to level the playing field!

Can I play, too?
07/17/2008 02:11:16 PM · #108
I'll give it a go :)

I'd like to sign up, Dennis!

Looks like my personal record is 11 challenges in a row, but that was a long time ago. :) Normally it isn't more than 3-5. I do think this will be the best challenge in a while.

I think the winner of this should opt to run the next one. This way we can keep this going and have a new challenge every month or so.
My guess is a 20-30% knockout each week. So it should run 4-5 weeks. NOT A STAT JUST A GUESS!

CAUSE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

Yeah, except those guys have HIGH averages they will be hard-pressed to beat every week, and Stephen has LOW average, which presumably he COULD beat every week if he abandons his principles ;-)

Is it to late to get in on this one???

If not I would love to give it a go:)

If we had to have an entry in a challenge for this week I do have one in right now, if that helps my cause.

MAX!

It starts at rollover on Sunday, and you can opt in anytime before that moment.

So, does this start with "Sugar" or the one announced when "Sugar" goes into voting?

Sign me up...

I probably won't last long. My last few were well below my average. But then my average isn't all the great to begin with.

There is just something about the magic number 4 that keeps calling my name...

Neither Sugar, Hot, nor Cold count. Its the challenges that are announced next week (Sunday and Tuesday) that will begin the tourney.

I think maybe you should have asked who DOESN'T want to be in this side tournament - the list may have been shorter. :-)

I'm beginning to wish I had entered my photo for the Recipe (Beverage) challenge... opted not to enter it because I thought it would do poorly and drive my average down.
