Social Wrighty's Player Agent Game Rules posted

[Wrighty]

Hey I’m just trying to help Wrighty - what with his zero knowledge of halfbacks for the period between Sterlo’s retirement & Cleary’s debut, he might have picked Joey ahead of Noddy

I remember Sterlo well and he is usually a key target for me in these games when I play.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

The most I will concede is to make the legends list $300K instead of $200K.

I think one legitimate tactic is conserving your money to swoop in on late round bargains.

I personally think it should stay as $200K for each. Remember that discussion I had with Tajhay where Chris Hodges will be taking into account how much people pay for his stars as well so it will police itself.

Fittler in particular will not go for $200K - if someone does go for $200K it will be someone more like our good friend Kimmorley. Notwithstanding he was a great origin star.

Nah keep it at $200k for every player. This games about strategy, if someone has coin saved at the end to purchase a gun on the cheap then well done to them.

I can't put my finger on what my exact concern is I have in my bones but if we were to raise it for the legends then I would raise it in parallel for the NRL players too. Having different minimum's creates some arbitrage situations and also opens the door to very canny operators, and there are some out there in this game, who can exploit the difference to their advantage and I don't think that lends itself to a fair and fun game especially for those who havn't played every year.

I guess the wildcard here is Chris Hodges.

If he gets a bid of $300k for Fittler which is too low obviously for his ability, would he be prepared to have his player go unsold or take the lower offer. Will be interesting to see.

We made a rule clarification yesterday he is obligated to take the highest bid no matter what it is for each legend.

To balance this out he will take the bid price into account with his random meddling he dishes out at the end of each round.

It is good you are going through the rules and starting to get ready. Last year Mr B stole a march early in the competition by being more prepared than everyone else and ended up winning.

Thank you for the clarification. It is going to be fun that is for sure.

Rule clarification and advice.

You must bid every round and it must be an active live bid. You can not for example bid lower than someone, that would not be a legitimate bid. There are going to be some rounds where you may not fancy any of the players beginning with that letter(s). You must still bid. A good strategy would be bidding a throw away low bid very early in the morning while the prices are still low on a popular player where you are sure you will be outbid later in the day. This is a legitimate tactic and will prove common place in the game. If you need a name for such bids I would call it a spoiled ballot bid.

Failure to bid at all equals an infraction.

So are the current player bids going to be visible but Hodges players private messages?

I did that strategy last game and got the hurry up for dragging the game out when everyone else had most of their squads done
