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

[tyrael]

Wrighty I think game might have a flaw. Like, we could bid 100k on 20 players and if no one responds to most of them, we'll get them really cheap.

That is not a flaw. It is a strategic choice by that contestant. Remember you are only allowed 22 players in your squad so if you acquire 20 guys in one round you could miss out on better players later as your squad is full.

Oh ok. And let's say you fill your squad in 3 rounds, you'll get penalised for not bidding later rounds?

My twins 18th birthday today!

Awesome- congrats to the little wizards
(Probably not so little anymore).
Ive never been able to decide if it’s the best day or the worst day for a birthday?

 

[Wrighty]

No once you fill your 22 players you don't get infracted for not bidding. And you may not bid anymore even if you want to.

What times does bidding close?

 

[Wrighty]

What times does bidding close?

At a random time known only to me (and tajhay) between 6pm and 7pm NZ time. You are recommended to get in before 6pm to avoid missing out. The thread will auto lock when I have told it to.

 

[Wrighty]

I am going out for a walk. Please try to answer each others questions until I return. Be back in an hour

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Ponga played in 2020

Has he played a test? Don’t think so

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow $100k

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Hey Wrighty just to confirm - you can cancel out someone else’s trade by bidding an identical price? Reason I ask is that otherwise someone could put in a massive bid that no one in their right mind would bid over for & then they get the player for free. Say for example I really want Brandon Smith (yuck) so I bid $12m effectively cancelling out any further bids so I instead get him for free plus a $400k bonus

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Ok now i see how this works

Benji Marshall 601k
Jahrome Hughes 101k
Hamiso Tabuai Fidow 101k
Josh Addo Carr 101k
Joseph Manu 100k

Hey Wrighty just to confirm - you can cancel out someone else’s trade by bidding an identical price? Reason I ask is that otherwise someone could put in a massive bid that no one in their right mind would bid over for & then they get the player for free. Say for example I really want Brandon Smith (yuck) so I bid $12m effectively cancelling out any further bids so I instead get him for free plus a $400k bonus

I guess we have to keep an eye on those and bid $100k on them so they don't get the great player and cash?
