Hi guys,

We're inviting you to come try out our latest creation, Finishers MMA Game.

finishersgame.com

Finishers is a new way to play MMA fantasy based on the knockout and submission abilities of fighters. The site is currently in closed beta, by invitation only.

We want you to be the first to try it out. If you're interested, reply to this thread and we'll send you an invite code to enter. UFC Fight Night 63 this Saturday is the first event open for play.

Gregory, Skelliher and I spent the past few months with an abacus, a protractor and crayons crafting a great way to play MMA fantasy online. Some of our mods are already members. It doesn't replace any Tapology features, and feel free to discuss it here on the forums. We really hope you like it.

Please note: our invite codes will go to the Tapology email listed on your account. If your email's a fugazi you won't get the invite and we won't know it. See you inside!

Sorry about that Kpro.  Frustrating for everyone.  Hopefully the big players in the fantasy like FanDuel and DraftKings can begin to lobby the handful of states like Washington to clarify their laws.

No need to be sorry @Greg, it's definitely not the new site making it that way.  Laws have to be followed for every state/province.  I just happen to be in one of the 10% that haven't entered the 21st century in that aspect of laws. The worst part actually is that on the state's gambling laws site they actually recommend an online betting site "if you're going to wager online even though it's illegal" and make mention of an online poker player from the state who has made millions and does the WSOP as if it's a proud thing.  They send a very confusing message.  It's more frustrating that they truly don't care if you do, and would never pursue or press charges, but they won't change the legislation either making it just too risky for the online business to deal with residents.  It's just one of those passive unenforced laws that no manpower goes towards but it works just enough to make business do the state's job for them in not allowing online gambling.  I should make a career change towards being a state gambling inspector and use my state pay to write new legislation allowing it.  Might take a few years, but the long con would pay off impressively.

If you already asked for one and it was missed, just ask again.  Jeremy should catch it soon - he is handling the invites.   If you post your email address directly in this thread I'll try to look out for that and hide your post.  As an admin Jeremy can still see the hidden posts.

Hmmm, Oregon or Israel...... Can I pump my own gas in Israel?  Because it's not allowed in Oregon and I always forget when I'm there and some obese gas station clerk runs out telling me I could face a fine and jail time unless I stop immediately.  It's very strange, I think only Oregon and Jersey are like that.  So I can probably deal with potential drone strikes and ISIS as long as I can pump my own gas.

Israel only has hydrogen powered cars because the Arabs won't sell them gas. You can pump your own hydrogen, KBro?

lol! Yes, you can pump your own gas here ... but we call it petrol because gas is... well, gas, as in, not in liquid form (Jesus, can't you Americans get anything right?) ;)

By the way, if you call petrol gas, what do you call actual gas? Did you give it a totally out-of-context-and-has-no-meaning name like you did football or do you just call them both gas?

we call gas (short for Gasoline) by that name because Petrol doesnt make catchy songs that get the senoritas shaking all the jiggly parts.

Gasoline is liquid hydrocarbons from petroleum, we call actual gas gas, we just get lazy and shorten gasoline to gas when talking about filling the tank.

If we named things based on what they were, MMA would be called EyePokeNutShotManHumpStandemUp.
