Jandrew Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Had no idea I missed week 1. Very bummed about missing week 3. I'll try to stick with this, but this is not a good start so far. Guess I'll go extra bold this week and maybe it'll pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Week to week scores are not irrelevant. You can have a 50, 000 point lead on others by the time the summer is up and considering there are times when first and third are separated by less than 25, 000 points then u have to consider every point valuable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not irrelevant, that's the wrong word choice by me. I just meant that they aren't something to worry too much about, because the numbers are relatively small for each week compared to all of the preseason mega-totals. Everyone will have good weeks and bad weeks, just keep plugging away 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the better way to look at it is that if you got your preseason top 15 spot on then you win the game, nothing anyone can do about it, even you get nothing else right all game. However if you got every single weekly question and SOTM spot on, you will be in a very strong position obviously but it would still be possible to get caught if your preseasons are terrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a case in point, last summer I was first or second during the weekly & SOTM section for a good chunk of the game... got knocked down a few slots by Chewy's challenge (you bastard!), but because my preseasons weren't great, I finished in the 20s.

Yeah, last year I was #1 part way through the preseason scoring but my worldwide numbers were so lowballed that I got knocked to #3, I believe (Which led me to way overpredict OS numbers this time... not working out so hot thus far ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 This is the first time, in the long history of this game, I have become the top scorer. I have a few days to enjoy it because I know it'll be short-lived. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 There's really only one question I can score right now. The rest are going to be close. So I'm going to hold off for a little before I do any pre season scoring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Nicely moving up gradually week by week after missing pre-pre. When SOTMs getting scored the table will change immensely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 This is the first time, in the long history of this game, I have become the top scorer. I have a few days to enjoy it because I know it'll be short-lived. lol Ages ago, when Barry Bonds got off to a hot start in 2001 and was viewed as chasing Roger Maris's single season HR record. Even though it was still really early in the season, reports started asking him questions about it. How many do you think you'll hit? Do you think you've got a chance of catching Maris? What will you do if/when you catch Maris? etc. Bonds started getting annoyed by it. After a couple weeks of getting the same questions every post-game press conference, Bonds replied with one my all-time favorite quotes: "To talk about it on May 21 is ridiculous. I could be hit by a truck tomorrow, then what? 'He was on his way, but, damn, he got hit by a truck.'" The point being, a good start is certainly worth enjoying, but its way too early to get invested in how everyone's doing. Unless, of course, you're in first, in which case you should look out for trucks because I'm coming for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
