Suggest you just start, you will pick it up quickly.
Part of the problem is the more I explain all the differences in strategies, the more difficult the game appears. But it really is fairly simple to play. You always get to choose whether you play safer, or risk taking more exotic strategies chasing bigger returns.
Good grief. Between this, SC classic, SC draft, Ultimate Footy and footy tipping it looks like my divorce proceedings should be starting in about mid-April
Itâs up to you. You can lock Joe Daniher in for 5 weeks and then sit back and do nothing for next 4 rounds except weekly sacrifice of a small animal to the injury protection gods.
Itâs not just the hoping for injuries. If betting on exclusions you would get Gamers locking in Mynott to not get a game in the next 5 weeks - where is the excitement in that? Looking at the VFL thread hoping to read how he didnât get a kick so is unlikely to get a call up any time soon. Fun times.
I think there is also a difference between what Blitzers write in posts and what choices they make when they have to put their coin on the line (even imaginary coin). For example in a lot of games last year I could push Francis out to $25 or $30 (i.e. 250-300% return in a week!) and still get no-one who wanted to invest at that rate. So a lot of the âbring him inâ advocacy in various playersâ threads is not carried through to this game.
No shorting. You will be able to invest in Laverde to play JLT1 at a very attractive 10,000% return though.
Of course they differ. One because blitz is often used as an outlet for frustrations that is a result of simple short term emotional outbursts (anger, frustration, sadness) and two because a game like this is more long term strategy/investment and isnât likely to attract many of the people who, for example, rage in a game day thread and then disappear.
And I wasnât actually suggesting you should reverse it, which admittedly Peeto was, I was just thinking that calling in panic dollars is a misnomer given the way that term was used around here. It would be like creating a game called âSEA levelsâ and then making that game revolve around supporters being humble when we are winning.
But I wasnât really being all that serious about it. Laverde was a joke, although I do appreciate the great opportunity he represents
Exactly, I thought the whole metaphor behind panic dollars was that your fears were realised. Panicking over nothing (i.e. the player is fine and ends up playing) is how you lose. Itâs a cynicism-based game.
