Ragnarok Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 @Mathman It's more on me and bcb for not double checking with you...but we both assumed that this game worked like the dart game where whenever the next person came up, whoever was gathering stopped getting coins. I mean, this seemed very similar to that set up so my brain just figured it was the same thing except with teams. That's why we chose the number we did. Like I said, we should have double checked, but if you could please clarify more on similarly styled games I would greatly appreciate it. Although, it seems like we were the only ones confused by this, so we may have just been drunk. I'm in law school, he lives in Ohio...not like we have much better to do.

Sometimes I am not aware things aren't clear, so always feel free to ask Yeah, but we sent our PMs in yesterday. My brain just decided that because we were picking numbers like in darts, and tying on a number was a similar penalty to darts, that, like the dart game, your points ended when someone new came to collect. I didn't even think about asking for clarification. That said, we could have double checked, and while we would have picked a higher number if we'd known, it wouldn't have made more than a 25-30 coin difference. So we can still win. I was just saying to keep this in mind for games that are similar-ish in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (By wins, I mean with the point spread applied) I'm sorting by the best to worst odds, assuming that each game has a 50% chance to be won because of the point spread. For now, I am not including a potential "push" that may occur with the Michigan game (-3) The first game will be telling. If Nevada covers the spread against Loyola, only HorizontoZenith/LetTheBallFly and Ragnarok/bcb1213 will be left, and the Gonzaga v Florida State game will determine the HOH. Tier 1: If the following teams all win, @HorizontoZenith and @LetTheBallFly win Nevada Gonzaga OR Loyola Michigan Kansas State Gonzaga Also, tie with @gopherwrestler/@utley4568 if these teams win: Loyola Texas A&M Kentucky Gonzaga Tier 2: If the following teams win, @Ragnarok and @bcb1213 win Nevada Florida State Tier 3: If the following Teams Win, team @Whicker and @iPwn win Loyola Kentucky Florida State Tier 4: If the following teams all win, team @gopherwrestler and @utley4568 win Loyola Texas A&M Kansas State Gonzaga Also, if these teams win @gopherwrestler and @utley4568 tie with team @HorizontoZenith and @LetTheBallFly Loyola Texas A&M Kentucky Gonzaga Tier 5: If the followings teams all win, @EliteTexan80 and @Adrenaline_Flux win Loyola Michigan Kentucky Gonzaga If the following teams win, team @domepatrol91 and @Shady Slim win Loyola Texas A&M Kansas State Florida State If the following teams win, @Famous Jameis and @LuckyNumber11 win Loyola Michigan Kansas State Florida State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nevada and Florida State wins (after the point spread is applied), you win. Yeah, I know we are still sitting in a solid position. It was just something I just realized was confusing due to the similarities in those two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have lived with the nomination. I just was really mad at his reasoning behind the nomination. I think poor decision making runs in that family. They both think of the worst possible idea and then they tell themselves, "This idea is so stupid it has to be ingenious." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
