Social Wrighty presents Forum Sheep game for 2024 - Round 12 Underway

[Inruin]

Over the first two rounds (and I will count the third round shortly) 49 players or 24.5 average per round players were drafted. That suggests offering a choice up to about 35 or 40 seems to be working using my intuition for guessing what the population must have been.

You would be surprised how many brothers were available yesterday considering it included super league as well. Just that many were players that people didnt want

Yeah it was a crazy long list yesterday

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

How about played in a losing World Club challenge team from 2001-2005 inclusive? Open auction

still too many?

So that settled, we can commit our valuable 5 minutes break to research?

 

[Defence]

Let's run with that. Well done @Inruin
Please note all it is an open auction and not silent.

@Inruin for playing along, as per previous games, where someone was helpful, I am awarding you a "Green Plus" which means if you get infracted later it comes off your plus rather than one of your three infractions. Sounds a bit quaint but just a token I have used before and I think applies here.

Didn’t he say closed auction?

 

[tyrael]

@Wrighty I found some errors in the game. It only effects Round 1.

• Black sheep rule only applies to the silent auction. <----------------- some people's got free money.

@Defence initially he said Closed Auction - but above here when he reposted the question he says Open Auction.

 

[Wrighty]

Just a reminder as @tyrael notes above there are no Black Sheep available this round given it is Open.

Yes @tyrael there were two black sheep in round one as we hadn't settled the rules then. Those exceptions aren't large enough to impact the game so we will carry on without making retrospective adjustments. Good catch though.

Damn think I’ll have to sit this one out- gonna Be busy tonight.
Bugger- I went to bed hoping for the criteria to be a closed auction with plenty of options- inruin delivered in spades but now it’s done a complete 180.
Bloody brownstone sabotages me again!

I recommend throwing in a token bid to avoid getting an infraction. Thanks for letting us know though,

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Throwing it out there now:

SB Williams $100k

SBW $2,000,000 and a side deal of a 50% share in a hospitality business

I think you may be confused wiz.... SBW is an eligible player? Kind of goes against your previous bidding history?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Darren Lockyer $100,000… to avoid infraction as I sort out what on earth to do across the balance of the day

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

I think you may be confused wiz.... SBW is an eligible player? Kind of goes against your previous bidding history?

Mate, I actually tend to bid on players that get out bid… may happen with SBW yet

 

[tyrael]

So this one is open now?
