Is there a difference between playing 10 teams and 12 teams?
I think 12 teams would make things easier since we could have the regular season be 11 weeks long, then still have up to 5 weeks for playoffs without having to play week 17. Another option for 12 players is to have 4 divisions, and play each of your division rivals twice. That would make the regular season 13 weeks long, and we'd still have 3 weeks for playoffs without week 17. I would like to keep the playoffs to 3 weeks, that would make for Quarter Finals (8 teams,) Semi Finals (4,) and Finals for the championship. We could still do the same thing without divisions, we'll just have two random teams that we each play twice, then select the top 8 teams for the playoffs. In any case, I might regret this suggestion later. I suggest for everyone's continued motivation until the end of the season, bottom 2 teams pay between $20 and $25 each.
Even though I won the league last year, this scares me.  Hehehe it also scares me. What about if we make it optional and we only have a buy yourself out agreement if someone wants to stop playing and leave the game? This will not force anyone to pay, however, it will force everyone to play despite if someone is winning or losing hehehe. Works for me if everyone else is in. |

Some calculations based on the prolific posting habits of JayJuanGee
Based on the profile of JJG he has made 25 491 posts to date at the time of this post.
With an estimated average word count of 400 words per post:
25 491 * 400 = 10 196 400 total words posted
Assuming an average typing speed of 40 words per minute:
10 196 400 / 40 = 254 910 minutes spend typing posts (Excludes time spent formatting posts and reading replies)
or 254 910 / 60 = 4 248.50 hours
or 4 248.50 / 24 = 177.02 days
JJG started posting on bitcointalk on 18 February 2014, or 3 047 days ago.
254 910 minutes / 3047 days = 83.66 minutes per day on average spent typing posts
A typical book has 300 words per page: The Bitcointalk book of JJG would be a monster at 10 196 400/400 = 25 491 pages long or 2.55 meters thick from front cover to back.
This is the definition of POW.
I have had a sneaking suspicion he uses something like Dragon naturally speaking for quite awhile. |

Aside from such musings, I make efficient use of the ignore list just to save time and to clear clutter. If you ever have any problems with users who want to follow you around obsessively and spit at you, then consider the ignore list as an efficient (non-)response.
Be extension you will find as your time grows shorter your list grows longer and its much easier to hit the show button to see if the quality of those you ignored improved over time. Generally you will find they end up being banned anyway and the time you have left on this earth was not wasted on them.  The “show” button requires Javascript. Disabled here. My forum-usage security policy inadvertently makes my ignorelist ultra-hardcore.  WTF am I doing with web3? I’ll tell you what. Miserably running web3 dapps in ten layers of sandboxing, and then figuring out how to access the same things programmatically via node.js in only five layers of sandboxing. This is a problem that needs to be solved.Yeah it sucks, I capitulated. |

The Russian oracle made an astounding call in 2014. Not only did he nail the top but he described the trajectory of the next couple years to a 'T'. But broken clocks are right from time to time... (I always hated that old saw... because you can have a clock that is broken, and just slow... or others... it has the be STOPPED to be right twice a day).
And even since that time some of his analysis has been interesting and even sometimes accurate...
But one thing I have noticed in my years trading thing... Either do you own research and act on it or stay the fuck away from 'trading'.
I wonder how much money good old "bitcoin vanga" cost various sheep along the way? Not to blame it on them. No on second thought I blame it on them.
I remember a few times back then warning people not to blindly follow his advice (I thought he was manipulating), but people don't listen and I just got tired of having people ignore my advice. Sheeple like to have their bad choices justified and actually hate people who try to stop them from making them. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been thanked over the years when I can only remember one time when I gave bad advice (which sticks in my mind as is still bothers me) and even that was only a 10% loss. |

09. Structure of the playoffs. I have no opinion on this, what are the options? For example 4 teams, 6 teams (with wildcard round), or 8 teams in the playoffs. Is playoff round one game or two games (like we had last year). It also depends on whether we have 10 teams or 12. With 12 teams I think I would prefer to have just one regular season game with each other (that's 11 weeks) and expanded playoffs (8 teams and/or 2 games per round) to fill it up to 16 or 17 weeks, instead of having some random games added to the regular season. Edit: of course there is also an option to have no playoffs at all. I guess we will have to decide this after we decide on the amount of teams? I think we have all pretty much agreed 10 is fine? |

You replied to OOM, who replied to me and who was discussing me. I quoted a portion of your post that was relevant to my point; I thought it was well-said, and I sent it a merit. Your quote is snipped in such a way that makes it seem that I was arguing with you.
My bad if I misread your intention. Its not hard for me as a man to admit if I was wrong. |

I would also like to have at least 2 IR spots (i think that's the default setting in Yahoo), 1 was not ideal last year. By the way, the NFL has made some changes in that regard:
Agreed lets add this to the list. |

I agree, mindrust's goal was always to increase his fiat stash and that is the trap he fell into.
[...]
He forgot 1 BTC = 1 BTC and for that he will always be a cautioning tale.
My motive was greed: Greed for BTC, not for fiat! How many times need I say that I calculate PnL in BTC? (Do the TA-junkie wannabe pro traders in WO know what PnL is?  ) One of my favourite price sites, which I have linked several times, is this: https://usdsat.com/The inviolate rule of my life is that 1 BTC = 1 BTC. I have kept that rule sacred. My problem is that I shorted the dollar; and in the liquidator bot’s opinion, dollars have recently increased in value against BTC. I have never bought BTC with the intention of “aiming at some high amount of $ per BTC”. Never!When I first came to Bitcoin, it was for pure idealism. I didn’t even want to have money that increased in value—just as long as it didn’t decrease in value like inflationary fiat scrip. I idealize price-stable money: My ideal money lets you work for an amount that would buy one loaf of bread today, put the money in your wallet, and then spend it for one loaf of bread next year—or in ten years. Want more? Work more. I did not come to Bitcoin to get rich. If I had been thinking that way, I would now be rich: I could have bought a whale-sized chunk for a song, (undisclosed) years ago! Jesus Christ man take a step back from that fucking keyboard! Where the fuck in my post did I mention YOU!!! |

Yeah divisions aren't really necessary. I prefer not having any myself. I think all they really do is select who you might play a second time versus not having them I think they just select who you play against more than once by random or by the order you simply sign up to play in the league.
I think divisions actually saved me from being last place last season, which really isn't fair. |

To the list I will also add to the topics we need to discuss the following:
08. Do we use divisions or not? Last year we had two divisions but maybe you will prefer not to.
I would vote against as I don't quit grasp the reasoning for having divisions in the first place, I'm guessing it was just the default when you made the league? 09. Structure of the playoffs. I have no opinion on this, what are the options? 10. Length of the league. Last year the league lasted until the very last week of the regular season, but it could be a good idea to shorten the league in order to avoid teams resting their starters for the playoffs and other similar circumstances.
This makes sense. |

OT: Oh look, another WEF conspiracy theory becomes reality.
People already eat snails and sea "bugs" like shrimp. They eat filter feeders like crayfish and mussels, which feed on the dirtiest, nastiest shit ever. Are land bugs that much worse though? The problem is that the food industry has an allowed "earthen" percentage for shit like cockroaches and rats and now that they are allowed a certain amount they have decided to use that for profits rather than the tolerance that was gifted to them. |

... You know, one of the main reasons why mindrust pulled out was greed. He aimed at some high amount of $ per BTC, he said he would never sell below that. When he was about x10 from his entry price he feared to lose more, so he sold everything but 1 BTC (IIRC, which i often doubt, hence my meaningful nickname). This sets you apart from mindrust, though, only if the (true) motivation for your leveraged long position wasn't greed. Some derivatives and tools of the financial markets are tempting because powerful if used successfully, but i think Satoshi was very much against them, as parts of the system, so he propagated HODL. This is what you should have done, but it's hard to do follow advice if you only trust in your own judgement. In reality, we are so weak and full of error... Good luck and act accordingly I agree, mindrust's goal was always to increase his fiat stash and that is the trap he fell into. He fell for the astrology of Masterluc and thought he could rebuy at $1500 IIRC. He over exposed himself with his buy gamble (effective long) and was terrified of losing fiat value. He forgot 1 BTC = 1 BTC and for that he will always be a cautioning tale. |
