diogee, you have Tuckman listed as 1-3,-2.00. Please list the game Tuckman won. You gave him an extra win and he should be 0-4!

Yeah just corrected it...was grading while on the exercise bike and read it wrong since it didn't have a line.

Can we just have you grade this thing? Seems like you are the only one on top of shit.

Thanks, BSH. I'm just trying to prevent another debacle. The motto of EOG contests is: Don't sweat the game, sweat the grading. It's also important that diogee be able to keep riding his exercise bike. Swimming suit season is just around corner.

Re: Top 4 capoff standings
Can you imagine trying to grade contests while on an exercise bike? Does he have a built in laptop on that thing or what? Bailey i know you are lurking, you gonna make any plays tomorrow? Tuck, you going to finish making your plays or just concede? 0-20 is feasible the way you are going.

Ooooh, thanks for the reminder Beedo. That would definately be a bummer. 12io4j2w90 Even though i think Bailey takes this thing down.

LMFAO!
:LMAO
that is spot on:LMAO
nice work beedo i think it would be good for either you or BSH to win it as i think you 2 are the only ones that should have won it.
actually if BSH would have proved he won they should of gave it to him but they really fucked this contest up. then they dont bother to address the situation and i think that speaks volumes for how this site is handling things contests wise as they have just been so fucking bad its not even funny.
just my honest thoughts
although diogee is one of the bettor ones i dont understand him slipping up here:+clueless
they need a #19 from majorwager or a real grader that actually has a calculator that works:LMAO

Re: Top 4 capoff standings
That could be an interesting day. It may be better that it's not on PR because who do you trust around here? Basically, the strategy on the last day, if it's close, will be to wait until one minute before the cutoff time (which is 5 minutes before the game starts) and post your plays and then after you post it you wait a minute or two and go back and edit it. So you originally post fake picks and then right before your edit time expires, post the real picks so no one will have time to fuck you over by copying your plays or other gamesmanship. Pretty crazy, but hey, what the fuck.. :+textinb3 The risk is that you might miss the edit time window and end up fucking yourself with being stuck by your fake pick. It adds another element of gambling.. hardcore. lmao

Re: Top 4 capoff standings
Guess thats an option, never in the rules that you couldnt edit your picks. Just have to make the picks on time.

Re: Top 4 capoff standings
The 5 minute cutoff time before the game starts is, I believe, equal with a 5 minute time window that is allowed to edit picks. So even if a player edits his pick, he won't be able to edit anything before the first pitch. And I think the timestamp will show the time of the original post (not 100% sure about that one).

Re: Top 4 capoff standings
As far as I can tell you can edit as many times as you can in the time window. So, in theory, a player could post many, many fake picks and change them and repeat in the 5 minutes before the time window closes to edit. It's an extreme solution to an extreme problem! 91023i2ndw;l

Re: Top 4 capoff standings
I have another solution in mind too, BSH. But it's probably even more extreme. It would be perfect, IF the players involved were capable and willing to learn to how to use OpenPGP to encrypt the posts. The idea is the player, on their computer, uses the program to symmetrically encrypt the text of their pick. The text at that point will be random letters and numbers (and other symbols). The player then posts the encrypted jumble of text as they would posts any other regular post here in the forum. After the games start, everyone would be required to post the password they made up, which can be used by every other player to decrypt the player's encrypted pick. HOWEVER, this method is easy to fuck up if the person doesn't do it right.. Probably better to just forget it!

The above message can be decrypted into the exact same text as this:

Baltimore Orioles -110 (B. Tallet/J. Guthrie)

The player would post the encrypted version before game cutoff time and then after the games begin, he would have to post the password, which in the text I posted above is shit666.
Proof of concept, nothing more. It wouldn't be feasible to get everyone on the same page with this.. and I'm not suggesting any changing of rules, definitely against that idea!

Anything after five minutes shows edited by on it at the bottom and yes you are right it is set up to prevent changes after first pitch

Re: Top 4 capoff standings
BSH, the program I used is GnuPG. GnuPG 1.4.9 compiled for Microsoft Windows. gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe
All I did was made a text file (Notepad, or any other text editor will work fine) and type in the picks so I had a file named, for example, picks.txt. Let's say picks.txt is located on my Desktop. The next step is to get a command line prompt (find cmd.exe by searching for cmd.exe). Make sure you are in the same directory as your picks.txt file. In this example, picks.txt is sitting on the Desktop, so I type cd Desktop at the blinking cursor.
Then at the blinking cursor type:
C:\"Program Files"\GNU\GnuPG\gpg --armor --output picks_encrypt.txt --symmetric picks.txt
It will prompt you for a password. Make one up (don't forget it!)..
It will ask you to re-enter your password again to confirm..
And it will create the file picks_encrypt.txt on Desktop. You can open this file like another other text file and it will look like the encrypted text from a few posts up. All I did was copy and past the text and pasted it in the forum.
Decryption is a similar set of steps.
It is actually pretty straightforward, but it's probably overkill for this contest. I've been interested in crypto for years so it's makes sense to me. I've wasted many an hour reading this shit though..
