I just checked ,  he picked all the favorites by the highest % finish .


guess we had 4 people not make picks this week  :p


hope next week is better , turned out to be a good strategy at least they tied for first on the team lol. and at least they didnt put up zeros

pretty ******* funny two people from the same team did it on the same week. im gonna see how many people had 2125 points when the spreadsheet goes up :p the muyborracho picking style may be a popular one .

Not to be a ****, but why would he copy someone with a 60.5% pick %age?

There are dozens of pickers with +10,000 picks with a much better score.

Not sure, when I first saw it I automatically assumed it was Miscatonic looking at Hades picks, but Kalibo informed me about Hades choosing to lock his picks. If Hades says he's not Mis and that he's not copying his picks then I'm not going to worry about it.

Even if it is cheating, technically it still isn't helping them. No offense dude, but you guys aren't so hot right now. I don't see an issue unless it continues, IMO. It's obvious, but since it was caiught, probably won't happen again

There have been multiple times in the past when I've been pressed for time and used the exact strategy that @Hades said he's been doing.  I'm willing to bet that @misc did the same thing.  We lost anyway, so what does it really matter?

Well I do care. Being accused of something I didn't do is insulting. I can't say for sure how it happened but it sure as **** wasn't me. I have no reason to cheat. I don't give a **** enough to cheat. This game is fun but its low on my list of priorities. When I joined the league I made a commitment to make all my picks no matter what even if it means I have to make quick picks to do it. I feel like making quick picks the lat few weeks is my downfall. To avoid this happening again I will make it easy. I'm out. I quit. I have enough ******** in my life I don't need this. I apologize to my teammates for quitting. @Miscatonic good luck sorting this mess out man. War Great Old Ones!!

Well, ****. I basically just wanted to clarify that we didn't have one person with an alt account taking up 2 roster spots so that if there was a free agent out there that wanted to play we could pick them up, and now it's boiled down into this cluster****.

We're gonna give Hades a little bit of time to see if he possibly cools off and wants to continue, and if he chooses not to continue myself and OldManGloom had talked about a few replacements, but I'm personally willing to overlook the other replacements and take @themmaguy since he was johnny on the spot with his volunteering to play. That is assuming the rest of the team has no issues with it.

Okay, that's two of three captains/co-captains, so with that said welcome @TheMMAGuy to The Great Old Ones. Sucks the way things wound up going with Hades, but I don't think there's any hard feelings on either side. I feel good about picking someone up who volunteered to join the team without hesitation even though we're pulling up the rear at the moment. Now let's win this damn thing.

Welcome to the team @TheMMAGuy .

Sorry if i ruffled some feathers , I noticed the identical picks and showed Cthulhu because I thought it was funny and something he needed to know as captain. Didnt think it would blow up like this,and he would cry and take his ball home. but in all honesty I could give a ****. Im getting tired of this league format.

Theres people who want to play that are free agents and we have 4 people not making picks, and on top of that we got other teams drafting people who they have no clue will be making picks and have said they don't want to be part of the league as a hail mary move when there are tons of good FA's trying to make a team.

Anyway , this was a fun idea that I use to get me picking more than just UFC and Bellator and Invicta but not having to pick whole weekends. and I enjoy it , im sure there are others that would like to actually participate .
The number of people that don't know they are on a team (bkp ,old nick ect.) is too damn high.

Anyway i'm going to drop out ...... Just kidding I have a Penis . Lets get a win next week!

I like to copy Oddsbot is that going to be a problem?

Only if you copy the 30% or so that Oddsbot gets wrong , Or if you're a giant Moth :p

Wow so I guess I should chime in. I only have one account. I try to pick as much as possible to get points for belts. For the last year or so I think I've tried to pick them all. I usually go through and pick based on how the majority have picked at that time unless I feel more vested in the fighters. If two people did that I could see where the picks would look very similiar with out cheating, you dig? If it's truly that big and issue which is sad beyond explanation, I'll happily drop out too just to let someone else do it that folks like. To truly be honest I'll keep picking the way I picking and I couldn't care less if I do it as part of a team or not. Your call...but come on really?

I'll just add my 2 cents on this, after tallying the scores a ****load of the pickers got either 275 or 350 points. I'm guessing that we'd find a lot of similarly picked cards on this event. Only 7 fights, 3 of them 2 rounders (on which I tend to heavily favour decision and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only "genius" that has had this godly revelation) you're bound to get similar picks, so I think you might have stirred something up out of nothing on this case.

I think we should all just stick to having fun with our own picks and if anyone out there is in fact cheating (which I seriously doubt just given the magnitude, or lack thereof, this game actually has on our lives) ... well, who the **** cares, it's not like there's anyone out there who's got a 99 pick %-age to copy from and I'm pretty sure that the majority of the players actually enjoy the game more picking by themselves.

Let's all remember that this is fun as long as **** doesn't get stirred up.

That being said, you've picked up a great picker and I know he's going to be great for your team.

Ok, that was more like a buck fifty, not 2 cents, but you know how I ramble at my age ;)
