The top of the leaderboard looks like a who's who of men that always sexually disappoint women.

Second from last after the first event to second to top after the most recent event. This is also with an uncharacteristic error by not entering a pick for a fight I had by win and method. Basically I have all the momentum and Sex Chicken @Sex Chicken needs to recognize the threat coming up the ranks. Deal with it.

I picked the wrong person to copy picks from this week.

Not gonna name any names but they are off my list of people to copy from.

I copy every time. Then just change any fights I know and disagree with. Worked out well for me this week

This is insulting to the rest of us who dedicate countless hours researching and preparing our picks. I think we can all agree you should be disqualified from this season and possibly banned all together.

Sometimes I don't even change any to see if she notices.

Ban away haha

I am basically throwing darts for winners

I did research for one event and did good...but I don't want to take the time to scour the records of unknown fighters...doesn't interest me unless I am betting cold hard cash

I copy pasted two of the cards so far and changed a couple fights...this time I changed nothing...and I regret nothing...I picked a horrible person to copy my homework from this week and it cost me the lead haha

Blame Sex Chicken @Sex Chicken
He tagged me into a reminder thread so I decided to do monsters again


If you look at it a different way it adds tactics and deception to the pics...somebody could post bad picks for the copycats...then change to their real pics right before the event and in a sense dupe the copycats into horrible pics and expose them for the lazy ass bitches they apparently are...This is the evolution of Monsters warfare

You aren't supposed to copy. I don't check. If you were consistently coming in at the top like Sex Chicken @Sex Chicken, I might notice or someone else might notice. I do what the people want really.

If enough people complain about picks being copied, rather than single anyone out, I would probably start having everyone PM their picks to me, and then I might post them after the event starts, or when I do the scoring, or whenever I get to it.

I wanted to make a separate site for the picks, and splinty has some kind of api I might be able to use one day, but idk.

I'm glad you're playing.

I pretty much take my cue from everyone else. If there's a major dispute, we do a poll on the question. I have also done multi-question surveys in the past.

I think everyone seeing each others posts and joking with each other right inside the forum makes it more fun, so I would avoid switching to private picks unless people are really up in arms.

I'm lying btw. I only copied once and you told me off. I just paste someone else's picks and then go down and check off my own

A lot of people do this. But this might also be what causes some errors that points are deducted for -- like two x's on same fight. So anyone doing this should be extra careful.

There are some fight cards where the picks are more obvious, and most people end up with the same or similar picks anyway, which is one reason I don't always check. Sometimes I do my own picks starting with a blank template, and I'm still an 80-90% match to someone else's, or it's a Bellator card and 90% of the players have the exact same picks. That's why I wouldn't really worry about it unless there's a consistent problem and people start complaining.

Points come, focus power, make good fight.

This week I had 5 minutes to make my picks, had a busy saturday and saw Chickens reminder so I was like Uh Oh fights start early this event...so I copied some bad picks...the person I copied had the top fights picked as I would so I just used their picks on the "unknowns" as well

Inevitably there will be some copying or hedging your bets by some the leaders to ensure not giving up their lead...without private picks I don't think you can avoid this...makes the tactical deception part come into play, natural evolution of the event in a way

I actually usually do what Song said he does above in post #245 if I have time...I just scan records and change the picks to what I think may happen...but I didn't want to make picks after event started this week so I committed the crime I have been charged with
