Wrath Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) I have a feeling that when I look back on this season, it'll be a fine reminder. When it comes to your top 15, first put in a hard-nosed cynical and pessimistic set of numbers. Then draw up the numbers your gut is telling you are right, the optimistic guesses, the longshots you just know are going to break out. Hold that list in your hand, and as you get ready to type it in, pour gasoline on yourself and light it on fire. You get the same sensation as actually typing the numbers in and seeing the results, but its over faster. And you'll end up with a better score to console you during the skin grafts.

BadAtGender Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 8 hours ago, ThatOneGuy said: Jesus Christ, 20th place? Don't get hung up on it. Last summer I spent the bulk of the game hovering around 30th place. I started to move up in the last month, but even then I was still only in the 20s. It wasn't until the final calculation came in that I ended up in 6th (just behind @Telemachos). Conversely, in the Winter game, I spent much of the time in the top 5, only drop back to... 14th? at the end. (Just ahead of @Telemachos). While the weeklies and the SOTMs have an effect, they aren't the whole game. Your preseason predicts are going to have the biggest effect. Someone can easily vault several places by having a bit of foresight. Or, alternatively, they can fall back pretty hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
