All this talk around smith makes me wonder if he’s a red herring and people are really biding on thurston and slater…
It’s a mind fark this game.

 

[Wrighty]

Should probably check people aren’t bidding on more players than they have room for either wrighty- I say that because I almost done it right then but caught myself…

People have to be on their honour code to check themselves. I will start issuing warnings as war chests dwindle as rounds progress.
As I have clarified to Inruin who I think asked about this a few days ago, if you do it innocently you will be infracted and receive the players you can afford working backwards from the highest priced player. IF through my hose sense I detect you bidded more than your war chest as calculated gamesmanship equals instant mod kill.

Yeah I think you’ve been pretty clear with the salary cap- I’m talking about squad numbers- so someone with 8 spots left shouldn’t be able to put in bids on 9 players (like I almost did).
Or can I….?

Correct if you have 8 spots left you can't bid on 9 dudes.

What happens if you blow your cap and only have a team of 8 players @Wrighty.

Could be a pretty elite team though, with those 8 players potentially beating a team of 13

What's your suggestion here? Make a recommendation for someone who spends $12M war chest and has less than 17 players.

ohhhhh do it like the Daly M's and reveal them gradually, only for one bidder to feel like SJ 2023 at the end

That was awful to watch. Sort of like a NRL version of an illegal snuff movie.

Determine if we must have a minimum of 17 players? And we must keep $100k x number of players under 17 available?

I’ve been that SJ multiple times this game already!

No prizes for second though. Just need to be tactical. The game is long.

Yes you need a minimum of 17 players. That was the premise of the game

**Announcement New Rule** @tyrael

You must have a minimum of 17 players at the end of the game to be eligible to partake in the voting thread. Make sure you end up with at least 17 (and remember cap is 22)

Can anyone top $5m for Cam?
