Dito natin ilalagay mga napagkasunduan at possible changes.

1. Adjusted Rankings

a. Ngayon ko lang napansin meron na pala red-tag si cabalism13. Pero mas marami pa din ang green trust. Sa totoo lang naging general pala masyado yung nakasulat sa ruling natin noon. Ang expectation ko kasi sa red-tag ruling is literal na scammers or any illegal na activities tulad ng mga case nina asu at EastSound. So para sa akin ay kasali pa din si cabalism13 sa finals. Pero if majority sa inyo ay hindi agree then susunod lang ako sa majority.
b. asu at EastSound - red-tagged
c. Inactives na at no response din sina gunhell16, jakelyson at bamboylee kaya nag-message na tayo kay chaser15 para sa  ika-10th slot. Pero if ever biglang maging active ulit at magparticipate ang tatlong inactives ay pwede pa din at the same time kasali pa din si chaser15.
d. Lahat ng nasa top 10 na active naman ay considered kasali sa final stage unless mag-voluntary exit or hindi na sasali. Hindi na rin pwde palitan ang slot/s once start na ang playoffs.

2. Prize Pool
 Champion:        50% of pool  
 1st Runner Up:  25% of the pool
 2nd Runner Up: 15% of the pool
 3rd Runner Up:  10% of the pool
 4th Runner Up: sponsored by Darker45 (for clarification)

a. Original thread posted November 1, 2019 kung saan ang bitcoin price as per google ay Php469,986.67 or round off natin sa Php 470k. Ibig sabihin shoulder ng host ang Php 9,400 worth of bitcoins.
b. As per Darker45, willing pa din siya mag-donate pero gusto muna natin klarohin kung sa 4th runner-up pa din ba.
c. As per sponsors na napadala na yung btc ay hintayin natin mismong statement ni bL4nkcode.

3. Final Stage Gameplay
a. Meron nag suggest na hindi lang limitahan sa 12 points ang ating final stage. Payag din ako dito para mas masaya. Any objections?  
b. Meron din nag suggest na baguhin ang gameplay. Kailangan natin ng suggestions at opinions.

Meron pa ba nakalimutan? Kasi limited na lang time natin. Sa mismong day 1 ng playoffs ang start natin. Siguro by Wednesday or Thursday gagawa na tayo ng new thread para sa finals.

Game link: ♛♛♛NBA Prediction Tournament [0.027BTC Prize Pool]♛♛♛

Hindi ko alam kung saan ako magsimula. Siguro from the beginning. Early March 2020 nakabakasyon ako sa probinsiya. Start na sana sa finals pagkauwi ko kaso biglang nagkaroon ng lockdowns at pati NBA games suspended din lahat. Sobrang hina ng signal ng lugar ni erpat kaya halos wala chance makapag online using mobile data at pansamantalang naging inactive. So ayon halos isang taon ako sa province dahil di ko na rin pinilit makauwi lalo na mas mataas infections sa mga crowded at big cities.

Nakauwi ako February 2021, then nakalabas sa quarantine March na. Actually pilit rin pagkauwi since yung bahay ko nagkaroon ng napakalaking issue. By April nalaman ko na wala na pala si asu. Naka-red tagged na pala at naging inactive. Lahat ng convo namin sa telegram burado rin lahat. Baka meron dito may personal information sa kanya pwede niyo ko ma-pm or sa tg @YearsRunning. Nag-message na rin ako kay bL4nkcode para dun sa mga nag donate.

Kabalik ko lang dahil ngayon lang ulit naging available. At bago maging busy ulit dahil sa mga possible new ventures irl ay kailangan ko talagang tapusin ang palarong to. Passion ko rin talaga kasi NBA. At perfect ngayon dahil halos back to normal na NBA with 82 regular games at pa-start na playoffs. Tsaka ayoko rin talaga masayang mga efforts noong nakaraan. Nagka usap rin kami ni bisdak40 last year at gusto rin niya na tapusin ang palaro. Ang issue lang talaga is yung premyo. Last year nasa P75k yung prizepool. At wala akong available na ganung pondo.

Meron akong proposal para hindi bitin at matapos nato. Willing ako mag-donate ulit noong original prizepool ko pero yung Philippine peso value at the time na napost ang tournament thread which was November 1, 2019. Around 9,400 pesos then convert na lang natin into btc later on. Gusto ko kasi start ng final stage sa day 1 ng playoffs kaagad.  

Another thing is yung mga sponsors. Meron kasi iba dun na nagpadala na talaga ng pondo. Antayin ko feedback ni bL4nkcode sa mga nakapagpadala. Tsaka yung mga nag-commit. Pero since pandemic tayo, hindi talaga natin pwede e-enforce yun unless willing pa sila.

Gusto ko makuha feedback, reactions at mga suggestions niyo guys. PM ko na rin yung mga nasa top 10 baka inactive na yung iba. PM ko rin yung mga sponsors. Thanks.

Hi ralle14. Mukhang wala tayong choice kundi ang hintayin bumalik ang NBA. Naisip ko rin dati na ibang sports lalo sa EUFA ngayon ang saya. Pero kasi NBA tournament na to, unfair naman. Dagdagan ko na lang siguro prizes. Sana in a month or 2 meron na nga punas sa virus na to.

Ingat2 na lang tayo guys. Wag mag panic. Pero mas better may stocks na sa bahay. At iwas na lang sa mataong lugar. 😊

Copy. Baka next week magsimula na tayo. Direct message ko lahat ng nasa top 10 pag makagawa nako ng new thread. Pasensya na talaga at naging busy guys.

Congratulations to the 12 players that reached the top 10 especially to the big 3 Oasisman, Fatunad and ralle14.

Day 59 Ranking

Ralle14 is on fire, taking the 3rd spot. Ralle14 is already in a 6-day positive streak. We will if his momentum continues as we are heading in the last day on our first stage. Yazher took a deep dive losing 4 points but still holding the 10th spot. Rosezionjohn seems to be finally losing its final grind to reach the top 10 after losing 5 points today. Ranks 9 and 10 will be hotly contested on our final day in stage 1.

I didn't post today because there are only 6 games. Tomorrow I will be posting Day 59 (when all is well). There will be 9 games so it will be worth it especially for those participants who wanted a shot at the top 10.   

Pasensya na at napahaba bakasyon ko. Hahahaa. Di ko naisip more than a week pala akong nawala. No worries guys. I am committed naman sa tournament na ito. 

Day 59 and Day 60 will be after the All Stars. I was itching to cover the games tomorrow since there are 9 of them but there will be few games after tomorrow. Maybe it is more exciting if our last 2 days will follow each other after the All Star games. So, see you then after the All Stars guys.

Ang sakit nga e. Akala ko maka 3 points ako. Tuwing pick ko itong Denver Nuggets dito sa tournament or sa online betting inconsistent parati. O sadyang malas lang talaga ang timing sa pagpick ko.  At least naka 3 points ka bro. Kung 5 points ka tie na sana kayo kay cabalism13 as 4th spot and aangat rin kaming nasa ibaba. 

Sana soon pwede na rin mga bookings sa hotels like Agoda, Booking.com at iba pa na mga sikat na apps. Tsaka CebuPac, PAL at Air Asia na pwede pang urgent, yung pwede sa Coins magbayad kahit within 24 hours or less na yung byahe.   

True. Obvious naman talaga na magaling si Clarkson. Yung mga baguhan na binibigyan ng playing time puro naman palpak. Kaya blessing talaga siya sa Utah at blessing na rin sa kanya ang paglipat kasi nasa contending team sya. Di tulad ng Cavaliers at Lakers noon na rebuilding team at naghahasa ng mga prospects. Di nila nakita yung potential ni Clarkson. Kaya rooting ako sa Utah ngayon. Tsaka Miami rin pala.

Probably because British or English influence all over the world is so big? English is the most widely spoken language. Soccer is the most popular game in the world. So most televisions prefer an English league I guess? Barcelona and Real Madrid are bigger than La Liga itself so they were always an exception.   

I don't see a strong relationship between gambling and drug, alcohol and cigarette addictions. Have you watched professional poker tournaments? Have you been to world class casinos? Did you seen drunk people there? Did you see people smoking cigarettes or having drugs?

I observed that most people that would say bad on gambling or relate it with drugs, alcohol and smokes are with different beliefs. You you know nothing then.

Waves is still in the 50th most valuable coin according to Coinmarketcap. Not bad. But if you think about Waves becoming a rival of Ethereum then this is not looking good. Ethereum continues to stay at number 2 behind bitcoin. Maybe Sasha should start offering its tokens to companies especially there in Russia.

XRP priced at $14 each, multiplied by its 43.7 billion supply is more than $611 billion. Bitcoin market capitalization at present is at $180 billion. Well, if in the future bitcoin becomes a trillion dollar currency then maybe XRP can reach that $611 billion market capitalization. When crypto currencies become mainstream then some of its coins will be worth in trillion dollars.     

Day 58 Ranking

Day 58 results. Some ties in ranks 9 and 10. There is still no assurance if we can provide Day 59 tomorrow since host will have a very very important transaction. But we should finish Stage 1 this week. And who knows our Final Stage can also be done in less than 2 weeks depending on the finalists performances.
