hey! i posted ideas

how about for the scores being tiebreakers we go with the actual spread from the sports page?

for instance: in the seattle/green bay game the spread is green bay -7.5...so, let's say i choose seattle to beat them (which i did) and everyone else chooses green bay, well, if seattle wins i'm the only winner of that game...but, let's say 2 people choose seattle and 2 people choose green bay and let's say green bay wins, but they only win by 3...they didn't cover the spread so the people who chose seattle would win the bet....


nah, scratch that...it's turning out to be too complicated...it should be straight up or down betting, all 4 games required, if someone ties at 3 out of 4, or 4 out of 4 they don't have to change their avatar? personal title? but if you lose 2 or more out of your picks you have to change it regardless...

just a quick point about what we're betting, more people are more apt to see the avatar than read the title ::insert little devil smilie here::

Give up my Doris Day avatar! I don't know if I could do that!

At least I can understand this. And they'll be numerous winners and numerous losers. More fun for the winners.

way to show weakness ~ we play for avatars. don't fuck with me (or pc) on this. come on back your bets.

last game should be for both avatars and titles for a week.

i'm not sure if you all played for point spread that'd i'd play ~ i haven't seen a game all season and usually only ever watch some of the semi's and the superbowl.

but i like who i like and i have horseshoes up my ass

Okay, Lucy. You want to do the honors and set up the pool thread? It was your idea.
