Going to be doing some traveling next week so making pick early
Ravens for week 2When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly- TheWayItEnds

TWIE, Flicker, and Micc get their picks in in the last hours they had, and watched as their team won in the last seconds!
Barring the tie that’s hitting Panzer and Nero, and Haschel and I actually making incorrect picks, everyone is still strikeless! That’s 15 of you!“The assumption of good faith is dead”

They probably should be but I don’t particularly want to change the rules midseason now that it might actually be relevant. (The current rule helps you here, shhhh)In post 35, PJ. wrote:Ties should be half a strike =(“The assumption of good faith is dead”

I mean the guy is just trying to get me a strike otherwise, this makes zero sense for him to want a tie to be half a strike.In post 36, D3f3nd3r wrote:

ties def. shouldn't be a full strike imo - since the game's already started and we've already had a tie with the rules for that spelled out in the first post I think we should leave it as is, but next year I think it counting as 1/3rd or 1/2 a strike or at least being explicitly counted against you as an additional tiebreaker would be good imo.- Haschel Cedricson

Oh, I agree it's too late for this season. But next season it should be a full strike on the grounds that this game is about picking teams you think will win their game.
As the person who originally ran the first one of these I'm cashing in any clout that gave me to make my opinion matter more.*

a tie isn't a loss either. It should be a half strike.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

The way the rules work is that picking a team that ties is better than a team that loses (because you don’t get a strike) but worse than a team that wins (because it doesn’t count as a correct pick for the purpose of tiebreakers, and is strictly worse for you than a correct pick). Next year I’ll probably change it to make it even stronger, with the first tiebreaker after number of strikes being the number of winning picks. But for now this point is moot because I’m not willing to make midseason changes.“The assumption of good faith is dead”

b/c panzer is so known for being fair and rational?Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
