The Point Ladder Game

So this is basically DXPIL Lite in that it will only take place a few times a week and not every day, but it is also 3 times longer than a 3 month+ DXPIL season.

The object of the game is to be at the top of the ladder in points in 11 months on the night of (US time) February 7 2021.

So like I said, a few times a week I will post DXPIL like questions (although there will be weeks I post none) . Which are usually sports related but occasionally other stuff. You can answer as many or as little questions as you want over the next 11 months because there are plenty of strategies you could try to implement to get to the top of the ladder. Unlike DXPIL, players can also put their bets in on the same answers.

There will be a limit on the 1 point questions however. You can only answer one 1 point question a day. The twist is, if you lose a 1 point question, you also lose a point. This can also put you in the negatives, meaning since everyone starts at 0, if your first answer is wrong, you will go to -1.

There will however be other long term questions worth anywhere from 2 to 20 points. MOST of these questions will not result in losing points, but some will specify that you can lose points if you are wrong. (Examples of these questions are: Who will win the Stanley Cup playoffs (before the playoffs start), who will win the Champions League(before the next round starts), who will win the World Series (before the season starts), etc)

The player with the most points on the night of February 7th 2021 MIGHT win a (cheap ass) prize depending on how many people play.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

Cheap ass prize like a photo album of close up pics?

Yup the up close picture board game. Fun for the whole family!

Posted by tiziani

Don't be surprised if my exes call you up to get mad, because never have I committed so fast to a long-term relationship.

In.

Sorry Tiziani exes

You just didnt let him win enough arguments like he has won DXPIL games

Sucks to suck

The Prize will probably be an Amazon gift card

Which will be cheap

unless a lot of people play the entire time maybe ill spare a few more dollars to the budget xD

Ill be back later with some long term questions but idk if I want to do the points worth the same for any pick or go by the actual odds. Or both.

Suggestions welcome

ok, i'm semi drunk so i have a story to tell, (like albert from fools and horses, tho no war stories) when my full drunk father woke me up in the middle of the night after i got an A (so bragging as well) in programming to get some money! actually that's the story. his idea was ok, but we needed just one thing, the control of randomness and staged games. i will ask him again does he remember the idea. i so need a hobby, and the money.

Juventus

Inter Milan

Draw

Pains me to pick them, because they are busy being even worse heels than Juve this year (I didn’t think that was possible) but I’m going to say an Inter win.

It’ll be weird watching it played in an empty stadium. No fans allowed in.

Yeah that whole no fans thing is gnna be weird

I hope Lazio win the league. It’ll take away all excuses for the new Roma owners.

I think i'd rather have Juventus than Lazio

But i've really only been watching serie a in hopes of zlatan and ac milan making champions league somehow after the team started the season so horribly, but its a long shot

I have loved him for most of his career but I’m annoyed that he’s back.

Now we have to put up with headlines like “Ibra scores Milan winner” when Calhanoglu scores and wins the game for Milan, but Ibra just happens to get a goal on top when the match was already won.

That's true, he makes teammates around him want to do better.

I haven't seen them play much this season, I watched their first half against Genoa today and he was trying to do everything possible to get them back in the game. But they just irreperably suck right now, even worse than we do.

We'll be in much better shape next season as long as we don't dismantle what we started this year. But they'll have to start from square one for something like ten years in a row lol

It's insane as Milan is easily a bigger club than everyone else except Inter and Juve. But they're so poorly run.
