Turn 525

Turn 525. I still don't think the scores are correct though. I "think" Manager has 1 point less and a few other guys have a few points more. It is REALLY getting down to it, so I hope it can be corrected very soon! PRETTY PLEASE?

Simply put, having an incorrect score 3 turns in a row is unacceptable. (Especially after it's been pointed out multiple times) This contest isn't that difficult to score. For all we know this contest might be over and we don't even know it.

I would go back and do it myself but I am missing quite a few NL's. The Old NL's online don't have them all either.

If anyone can copy and send me Turns: 502, 505, 510, 512, 516, 519, 520, and 524 I will do it today. I am off and have some relaxing freetime I can do this with.

Hmm, may have to sit Fear and D W Sickness and see how these new rollups do. I am feeling pretty good about both new rollups ability to win their 1st random fight.

I'm 3 quarters through the newsletters, checking all the fights by hand. The report didn't make it into the newsletter this turn. I'll post the updated scores here, on the website, and to the mailing list tomorrow night. I'll have 3 hours to work on BR stuff on the train tomorrow on my way home. I'm swamped here at work. But I promise a full update tomorrow night.

I can't Mother F'ing believe my turns didn't go through. I sent them in the same time I sent in DM 13 and that warrior ran and 18's didn't. Personals didn't make it, fights didn't make it, I am so sick of this bullshit. Now my new warrior will be at 3FE instead of 4FE at the Face and my Champ will be at 29FE instead of 30. Why even freakin bother timing crap when they can't get the job done and f you over anyway?

I may have to go on a long hiatus again.

My 13 and 18 went in the same envelope as well. Things always go downhill when Sandy is away.

Also, kudos to Street Legal for possibly saving the contest this turn. (Assuming the standings were all correct)

Saving the contest? Bah, I'm hoping this things ends! While I would not do it because I do want the person who wins this thing to have done it legitimately, it has crossed my mind to try throwing fights to Wasteland just to hurry along the end.

Rillion you would become the target of many unhappy people if you did such a thing, I know you would never. I've been bustin' my arse trying to match these top teams and beat them and been doing a damn good job if I do say so myself! Did I say that Question

Wonderful. Here is even more great news for me. On turn 526 I would have had a total of 113 fights if my warriors ran like they were supposed to. 90% needed to get the +1 bonus? 112.5

So since my warriors didn't run (not by fault of my own) I now only have 108 which puts me well below the 90% needed and pretty much out of the bonus.

So after all that hard freakin work I will probably end up with nothing because of an error not my own. Nice.

Also, I sent in DM 13 and 18 at the same time. 2 new rollups for 18 also. My rollups came back with my 18 packet but nothing ran and my 13 warrior ran. So they obviously had everything in time just misplaced it.

How long do you need the contest to run in order to guarantee you get 90%?

Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 4:45 pm

Looks mathematically like 9 turns if your 4.5 below. You can only make up .5 per turn.

The total number of turns as of this turn is 25. So thats 125 total fights, 90% = 112.5. I now have 108 instead of 113.

Now I am WAYY behind. It would take another 9 turns of me running all 5 warriors to catch up now. 34 turns = 170, 90% = 153. I currently have 108 + 45=153

I had sat out some guys and ran some DA's to ensure that I was at least in the running for the bonus at the end. I didn't even know there was a bonus until you guys mentioned it around 5 turns ago. Thats when I started paying attention since I was close I could at least get that if it came down to it.

Not really a huge deal. I mean its only +1. But I do have a guy in there thats already nicely bonus'd and +1 more sure wouldn't have hurt.

I am more upset that my guys didn't get a shot at winning than the bonus. I am not saying my guys can do it, but with the right challenge who knows? I could have went 4-0 (1 DA) and put me at 22, 1 point behind the leader the turn before the contest. Then 2 of my guys would have been perfectly timed for the Winter FtF.. Plus the possible rookie rollup. It would have at least given me a shot at the win.
