Okay gentlemen (and/or ladies or whatever the hell else you wanna identify as) it's that time of year again.

Have ya? You always seemed pretty solid to me man, knowledgeable and clear headed for sure even if you don't exactly wear your heart on your sleeve. You know the game and follow it as closely as anyone on here and I think you'd be an asset, even if you can sometimes be a little blunt, wouldn't have asked you otherwise. TBH though the kinda role I was thinking of for you - advisory and getting second opinions on which fights we should put in and making sure I don't get too far up my own ass - is something you can kinda do anyway whether or not you're officially on the CREW. Front of house stuff - y'know, welcomes and intros and helping folk out - maybe we could use someone a little more approachable, Tatabanya or YoungManRumble were a coupla guys I had an eye on, although I'm aware neither been in the game all that long... anyways, I'll think on it. Offers still there for you if you want it. Yeah I'm up for that

I think I should bow out of being involved in the 2021 pickem. I'll play but maybe not best I be part of the pick em crew. I've been kind of a dick to a lot of people on NSB. Have ya?

Point 3 can't be reiterated often enough to new players. Solid advice man... what you might call veteran tactics. Bhops would be proud. I'm the Pied Piper Of Hamelin luring all the good guys away from the top ten with my wrong suggestions :lol1: :lol1:

Tips for New Players 1. Your multipliers are your cognacs and champagnes. Best reserved for special occasions. 2. Don't pick "draw." Just don't. It will never happen and you'll lose points. 3. When in doubt, follow Tatabanya and you can't go wrong. :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: But, my man... the third item contradicts the second, given that I wasted more picks on draws this year than throughout my betting life... One would do ANYTHING to catch up when in delay :D

Did any rules end up being changed or same deal as 2020? I switched to three decison picks - didn't really have a full mandate, but I been pushing for this one since we took over from BroBob and I figured just up and do it... can always switch back next year or maybe tinker with where the split goes if folk ain't happy. Added in an extra x5 so there's now 3 that can be used any point in the year. Ain't 100% on the odds yet, might tinker 'em a little but I'm not sure I'm ready to go right to the metric odds multiplier I mentioned to you... I'm gonna track how the scores would look if we did though... also Ima keep a very close eye on it if you decide to run a sweepstakes using a direct odds multiplier system cos I think it's an intriguing idea. It might make for much more tactical gameplay though so I'd have to think carefully before introducing it. Erm... I think that's about it... gonna be a coupla changes to the CREW I think.. looks like otrocubiche and HBx3 may be gone for good and Mammoth is on board for 2021. Gotta speak with CauliflowerEars see whether he still got interest for this year too so I might be looking for one or two more volunteers.
