Sorry to hear this. I know we all enjoyed seeing you climb to #7 for the year after missing one game - that was my rank before I missed a game.

I was quite disappointed and even angry cause with a bit of luck I could make it to the top5. Don't mind about any deadline but it should be clear and consistent. When I tried to put my numbers it was about 1 PM by my local time then usual deadline was always 2 PM.

I dont understand why people try to get in at the last minute. It makes zero sense. One should insert your initial numbers early and update it on thursday once we have theater counts/Wed numbers. That could all be done by Thu evening.

Ditto. I always at LEAST put in the derby average as a starting point on Tuesdays. And then Thursday night I edit them to match my numbers.

Don't forget about the time difference. In Eastern Europe we have Wednesday numbers and theater counts about midnight at very best. And most of people have their own work schedule on Friday so it's important to have consistent deadline.

I also don't want to put some random numbers just in case some guy on BoM will get tired and make deadline and hour or two earlier than usual.

You can't even imagine how stupid /and worrisome/ this looks like. It makes Zero fucking sense to move the deadline randomly all the fucking time, everything else perfectly makes sense. It's more than enough for a normal person who has a fucking real life to put his prediction once, and it's done. If the Game is the most important event in your life and you are so worried about getting your prediction through that you send it multiple times to make sure it gets there, than congrats, man, life is going by... very very sad.

I dont spend more than 5 minutes on the game. Probably 2 minutes to get early predictions and another 2-3 minutes to update on thursday. I dont understand the "cribbing" when there is NO POINT in waiting that long to get your predictions in. Especially when you know BOM keeps randomly changing the deadline.

My 2 minutes are too fucking valuable to waste them like that. So yeah, there is a point.

I placed in the top 50 despite a mediocre 83.5%, bad weekend all around.
Congrats Gopher.

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

And I'm not trying to hide that, which is actually the first step to recovery, while your case is terminal.

Nice weekend for xiayun and myself. I agree, next weekend will be more fun to predict, cause with 5 openers, the scores will definetely by more diverse.
