This game seriously needs a fixed day.

You're always super late or super early.

Game needs the following tweaks..

1.Be on time

I am glad you're doing this game for us all but you pop up so randomly and at wierd times and then even say you almost forgot about doing this game last week. You dont seem interested half the time.

I mean, life is life and we all have one and things will get hectic, no doubt but when you start a game anywhere, you should have a backup plan. Specially when alot of people are playing your game and counting on you to be there to do it. Being sporadic is not a good thing here.

2.Game hoster cannot take part in his own game, or if he chooses to do so he should be the last one to make his pick.

There are several things wrong with this. Game hoster has an incredible and unfair advantage on everyone who plays in his game because A, he gets to choose the date and time when the game is posted. B, he also picks first, giving him the best available pick every single time.

3.Participants cant pick the same driver on a back to back week.

Take Slice for instance. He's spamming Logano every week and that gives him an edge because he can pick him every week if no one else has.

By not allowing players to pick the same driver back to back it forces that player to pick someone else and allows for some strategy and it makes it possible to gain on the people who are ahead of you.

Food for thought..just thought this needed to be said..

With that said, I am going to excuse myself from this game from now on. Have fun errone. ;)
 
Aww... man if u want to pick Joey that bad just ask.. I don't mind picking other drivers lol I just always go for the best of the rest... not my fault I've won 3 (?) times already.. Kurt was a last minute pick lol same with Carl (I think) Its the luck of the draw

.. and I really don't think I've picked him that much... Richmond was a fluke lol he was leftover and I figured hey why not... didn't think he go and win the thing. Then he wrecked at Dega so I figured why not go for the Kansas comeback considering only Penske has won on this track type this year :) I mean I've obviously taken him more than everyone else but it's not my fault I got here before you.

LOL I'm not blaming you. You're just playing the game as it is designed.

I was just venting. :D

You know, busy folks like us have a job Slice. :p
 
As for the timing thing.. I have the same sort of game on facebook and it's tough to get the timing the same every week... most of the time he does it Friday or Saturday. I think he did it early this week because he almost forgot last week lol.

If ur not playin I guess that's just less competition for me though :)

Spike ur doin a good job keep it up.. (will the game last all year this season?) lol

I have a hard enough time posting my pick when I'm the only one trying to get in . I have to look over the existing picks , then pick from the remaining list . I couldn't play if there were thirty people picking at once . Love the game as it is Spike.

Very good point. If everyone picked at once it would be a madhouse trying to get a list straightened out.

As for reck, if spike has such a big advantage of picking first why is he not running away with the thing? As for Sliced picking Joey, who knew Joey was gonna have a breakout season? Sliced ain't in the first few picks every week. He just comes in, nobody has picked him yet, so he picks his favorite driver. Here's an idea: you pick him :O

The game is awesome spike. I like the randomness. It keeps an even playing field really. One bad week ain't gonna kill nobody if they come in late. Keep em coming

As for the other point, about guys not picking the same drivers two weeks in a row...we have a hard enough time keeping straight who people have picked in the current week. More of a headache than it is worth.
