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

It was about 20 in the dragons tail and that worked well. Half the 20 will be nuffy players don't forget. Let's start with 20 and can re-evaluate part way through if needed. If I made a decision now I would need to run some simulations.
In other news I have changed a detailed rule. To allow more flexibility the minimum bid will still be $100K but you now can increment upwards in minimum $1K amounts instead of $10K. This means bds must be rounded to the nearest $1K .ie $118,000 is allowed $118,547 is not.

22 rounds plus a Wrighty round will give plenty of time to recover from a slow start where you are figuring things out.
My advice to all of you is to really go to school on the first two rounds to learn the patterns and bidding patterns.
How to do a silent bid
1. In the Reply Editor, in the menu you have an icon at the rightmost location which when hovered on says 'For @Wrighty'. Click it.
2. You will be presented with something like this
3. Write your message within that inside the area of the tags i.e.
4. Note if you screw up and write the message in the tags i.e. [ inside here] your 'silent' bid will not be silent and everyone will be able to see it. Believe others 'mistakes' at your own peril.
5. Only wrighty and myself will be able to see these messages.
6. You can test it out prior to the game to ensure you understand how to do this. If it doesnt work, read the instructions again and try again until it does.

[wrighty] testing… I’m going to do a strange bid in the game and muck up the hidden message so everyone ‘accidentally’ sees it leading them on the wrong course 
[/wrighty]
[/wrighty][weighty] remember I’ve got that standing bid set up for $1.5m on Bradley Clyde for all silent auctions ok, as we discussed [wrighty)

I get the feeling Bradley Clyde is turning into the key target.
Best forward of the last 4 decades. Actually that comment excludes a certain hooker.
Is it Rick Stuart with a silent P
Why is everyone discussing my all time favourite players? This isn’t fair, the game is rigged!!

Good point. Let's go with yes.
I’m getting nervious.
Feel like Brownstones got his whole team locked in (with backups) and I’m still figuratively watching my potential selections run up sand dunes…
Was Bradley Clyde a good sand dune runner?

By memory I think he has something like three titles to his name in these games so he is stiff competition. If I were you Wizards I would centre your strategy on feinting to take T-Rex and at the last minute bidding on someone else. Sure fire way to success.

Question for the group now we have ten contestants instead of 11 I could diddle slightly with the 20 minimum eligible players rule per round and bring it down to 18. Or is that just screwing around at the margins and leave it at twenty.
I don’t think 1 less player makes much difference but I do still think a 20 minimum is too many.

I want to have enough eligible players so that all ten contestants can mathematically on average expect to successfully pick up a player each per round. I feel comfortable changing to 17 or 18?
Clyde would have smashed the sand dunes, probably the fittest player in the game back in the late 80’s & early 90’s.
Re my build up - barely had time to think about it, my SuperCoach pre season has been very limited also. Crazy busy end to the year!!
