@AfternoonDelights22

Since I'm out, I'd like to propose a couple of rule changes for the playoffs next year.

1. Although I both benifited, and lost because of a death game.. I'd like to see them done away with in the playoffs. During the regular season is fine if folks want to flip a coin for a win..

However, those that have made it to the playoffs, are there for a reason. We put in the work and research to win games. It seems a bit silly for a game of chance (literally) to be a deciding factor in a playoff game.

If you want to keep the death games in the playoffs, may I suggest a 6 pick game (5 regular and a death with death game last) so that the deciding game isn't a coin flip.. But rather a randon chance to tie it up and send it to overtime.

Home team picks 3 and defers the coin toss OR they pick 2 + the coin toss.

If they win that death game, making it 4-2.. That game is done.

If the lose the death game, making it 3-3.. You go to an OT game. If they defered the coin toss, they get to pick the OT game. If they picked the coin toss, the away team gets to pick the OT game.

The OT game would be something that ends early the next day, such as a stock, midday baseball game, football game.

It's obvious from the last season and this one.. That the playoffs are mostly decided by luck (I think most of that comes from it only being a 5 pick per game). Given that nobody is finishing above .600 (slightly better than a coin flip), I think you would agree that home team needs some type of extra advantage.. Which you tried to do.

I think the above would help. And it really gives an incentive to finish in 1st or 2nd in the regular season. Right now.. It's just bragging rights.

2. I don't think individual players (although a part of a team) that do not play a minimum amount of games should be able to play in the playoffs. Their games wins can go towards the team percentage, but unless they play more than say.. 20 games, they shouldn't be allowed in the playoffs.

Just my thoughts
I actually thought about that this go round

only cuz I wanted to include a hockey game 7 in the questions in case the series was not extended to 5 games lol

I would maybe change it for elimination games if a game 4 or game 5 goes to overtime make it a different game pick. I think I'd like to keep the dice and cards for Games 1-3 tho if they go to overtime.

I don't quite like the 6 games pick thing. I gave home teams a chance to change their strategy in these playoffs but in all 11 games the home team still answered 3 questions which is tough to accomplish getting 9 out of 9 questions right in a series cuz if the away teams happen to get their 2 questions right the home team has to be perfect too. Home teams now have the option and should take it sometimes to not answer 3 questions every single time. It's just being stubborn really cuz if the person isnt confident in all 3 picks I dont see why take it.

I almost added the rule this season players having to play a certain amount of games during the season to play in the playoffs but Id have to find the right number. I think 20 is too many for a team that only plays 50-60 games. Back up goalies are lucky if they play 20% of the games in a hockey season but still sometimes have to play in the playoffs.

But I didnt add it because I didnt want to track how many games people played on the same team individually. Too much extra work. But not as many teams in season 2 had multiple people on teams like season 1 it ended up

Lol.


More to do with my "teammates" last year.. But yeah..

Not happy about you playing less than 20 games and sub .500 win percentage.

But alas.. I will get over it -_-

You must agree that #1 was a good idea tho

click to expand

Yeah 1 is good.

For the 2nd, it's problematic to set a number cuz you don't know how many people will join. I think a percentage would work? Then again you have to account for strategy/teamwork.

We'll have to agree to disagree on #2

Was not opposed to you with Aries moons in the playoffs last season. Can't say the same for this year.

click to expand

1) We were limited to 5 games per week

2) I am on a different timezone (I can forsake my sleep for small stretches of time to play semifinals but not for months at a time)

1) + 2) = any aries moon in the US would have the chance to pick before me the 5 games

Let's say they don't and there are still games left. Because of 2)... I don't get to pick them in time.

3) Past a certain number of games played, having someone else play is a disadvantage cuz you can get bumped way down. Losing is way more high stakes. That's called strategy.

4) This is a team game therefore it implies teamwork. You know, perhaps we had that? Ijs

5) Suggestions are all good and well but if you imply I wasn't worthy to make it to the semifinals, perhaps we could bump up Survivor topics and count the challenges won, even those YOU won with MY answers. That might shut you up.

6) I won, you lost. Learn to deal with it gracefully.

Learn to win gracefully and I shall return the favor. I buried the hatchet when DXPIL started. You have not. Keep living in the past.. And again.. Good luck in the finals.

You never buried any hatchet or stuff wouldn't have to be brought up to your attention.

Take your own advice when it comes to living in the past, especially when you feel like telling people who have cancer to just die already and when you get the urge to call Virgos petty. Among many other things.

Took you long enough to say that instead of having your mouthpiece do it for you.. Coward

Seriously check a mirror when it comes to cowardice.

And since you brought it up on this thread.. Instead of talking to me in private when I asked..

What's your goal here? Attention?

1. You refuse to discuss in private

2. Your mouthpiece blasts me in the open instead of your coward self

3. And then you bring it up in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with it?

Seriously.. Aries moon blah blah

A coward
People don't speak for me on DXP so cut your bullshit about any mouthpieces I have. And while you're at it speak on your own behalf instead of cowering behind Nefer or people P-angel victimized through the years. As if suddenly you have this epiphany about standing for what is right and it just coincides with getting a dig in while you still can.

I really don't owe you any explanations on the board or in private, just so we're clear. And if you are going to talk about the past then I will point out that you are incapable of not living in the past, in case you are going to play coy about how come I bring that up on the back of your "quit living in the past" statement. You make a statement, a reply will follow so don't act shocked at how come this is being brought up in this thread.

Anyway, I won't derail this further. You could've made your suggestions at the end of the championship but you had to do it now and it's obvious why. Whatever derived out of that...well don't dish what you can't take.

You're the only one who has made this about Nefer's passing.. And whoever the Pisces chick (your mouthpiece) is.

My issue with PA is that being diagnosed with Cancer does not wash you clean of your sins.. Nor does it give you a free pass to continue berating and mistreating others.

Believe what you will.. I'm not the only one here who thinks that way, and not everyone was as close to Nefer as I was.

I would, and in fact HAVE.. Said the same thing to family members I was close to that have passed.

So spare what ever deep seeded hatred you have for me. If you really wanted to tell me all that, you could have done so in PM. You know I would have responded and done so peacefully.

Instead.. You want attention and to prove that you are the innocent being in all of this. Unfortunately.. And I can only assume that several that will see this will agree.. You have come across as someone who's cowardice and truely hurting inside. From what? I don't know..

So for the last time.. Good luck in the finals.

I don't have any hatred towards you nor am I hurting inside. Feel free to run with this idea though because clarifying is futile with you.

And you said that three times already, I saw it and answered the first time. Good game and see you next season.

Who won? Who lost? Who went into a glorious rant about the games of yesteryear?

#CliffNotes please.


Both upsets in the semi final where the lower seeded team advanced to the Finals, just like last season.

That makes it a Gemini Mars Mischief Makers vs Aries Moon Fire final. And if i just had my computer FedExd to me already, i would have a great promo poster that's already drawing itself in my head.



In the meantime Dazed and Damnata cut "Yo mama" promos on one another, giving Nights more feud material for Season 3 or possibly DXP Survivor.
