As most of you who played during the past NFL seasons, I have been running the NFL Survivor game on this board after Behad started (props!). Last season was pretty cool as the game went all the way to Week 16 with SmeggySmeg claiming victory over rpr52121 and eventually running the table with all of his weekly picks (he promised to be put out during the first week of 2009 ) Anyway, I'll be starting this season's game in 3-4 weeks. I always try to start a month before the season starts to give everybody ample time to join the game and I'll post weekly reminders in the Hangout like I did last year to remind everybody of the game again and have a shout out in my signature as well that month before the season starts. My question is, are there any changes anybody would suggest for the game this season? You can pretty much see the rules of the game here: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=152386 I'm open to all suggestions as long as they aren't too grand in expectation as I like the way the game is setup now although I know a few have lobbied for some changes before. Any suggestions? I'm probably going to be making a donation in the winner's name of this year's game to the ClutchFan's tip jar so that a regular member has the chance to become a contributing member. I put the probably in there because you can never tell what happens in the future (job loss, health, new baby, etc.). Also, I know this game has been around for several years now and I tried to track down past winners and this is what I have so far: 2008: SmeggySmeg 2007: finalsbound 2006: moestavern19 2005: SamCassell 2004: VooDooPope 2003: ??? 2002: DieHard Rocket This is the last post I can find involving the 2003 game: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=64900 Anybody know who won or if that season's title was undecided? I did find out that VooDooPope won in 2004 and not 2005 as his signature suggests. Here is the 2005 thread showing SamCassell's victory: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=104918 Here is the thread showing VooDooPope's 2004 victory: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=85984 Nice try VooDooPope but you're on a 4 year slump not 3. Anyway, let me know what you all think. Thanks.
I like the game the way it is, and the touchdown survivor league is pretty cool too. Looking forward to some friggin football.
I'll be posting a reminder in the Hangout and bumping it weekly. I'll also have reminder in my signature. BOLO!
Arrrrrg. I remember someone pointing that out last year also and I forgot to change it so I just changed it now. Last year I was close and forgot to make my pick near the end. I think I would have taken it all if I hadn't forgotten. I'm bringing it hard this year and taking no prisoners.
Wow, that was 7 years ago it started. Holy crap. My last couple of season have been pathetic. Maybe I'll make it past week 3 this year. I don' think any changes are necessary.
I totally got robbed that year. Glad to see the interest in the touchdown survivor. I have no problem running it again.
Count me in again this year. I'd like to see the both the regular survivor and the touchdown survivor games return this year. Also, I would like to have a losing survivor game. Instead of picking a winning team for the week, you have to pick a losing team. One other game that is fun is a pick 'em game using confidence points. If there are 16 games for the week you pick each game and assign confidence points to them -- 16 pts for most confident, 15 pts for next, and so on down the road. The person with the most points at the end of the season is declared the winner.
i came in third/fourth place last year. The only difference is that in the table, i want to see all the names so I can say I beat them them and them.
