I'd disagree with that rule. Could be an easy following week to make those picks to not earn a strike and picking two really doesn't diminish the overall selection pool. Either three picks the following week or ties=strike. I'd prefer ties as strikes.In post 47, D3f3nd3r wrote:I just read a thing online where someone suggested that if a person picks a tie game, the next week they have to make two picks. That seems like a cool idea, but again maybe next season.Sup, later.- Gammagooey

Oh, I thought I got the full strike, not no strike. Please go back to your regularly scheduled not giving me a strike, ps go lions.In post 36, D3f3nd3r wrote:

(Ties probably *should* be worth half a strike and it's worth revisiting because there is at least one tie every year since they changed the OT rules, but like don't be in a hurry to change anything lol)

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Changing the rules next year so that the first tiebreaker after number of strikes is the number of winning picks is essentially the same thing as giving them half a strike so long as no player picks more than one tie.In post 54, PJ. wrote:

I think current way of handling ties is fine. No strike, ends any streak.

For what it's worth, if you take the current rule to its extreme, you can win the league with two strikes, six wins, and nine ties over someone with two strikes and fifteen wins if the six wins are all in a row and the fifteen are spread evenly into three five-game streaks.“The assumption of good faith is dead”

That's fine, mostly I just didnt want a strike but making a small adjustment because the ties have been discussed in the past seems ok.In post 60, D3f3nd3r wrote: Changing the rules next year so that the first tiebreaker after number of strikes is the number of winning picks is essentially the same thing as giving them half a strike so long as no player picks more than one tie.Sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich.- shaft.ed

pat-riotsOf 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. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
