Participation tends to drop off every round in things like this that go on for a while. Also, it's pretty easy to get through tabulating a round in like 30 minutes if everyone doesn't spread their ballots out over three different posts.

That is half why I stopped doing the power rankings because it was usually just 4 people by the end if that.

hey I Ching, can the Dubs vanquish LeBron James & The Cleveland LeBrons again?

quote:

26 - Twenty-Six
Ta Ch'u / Recharging Power

Heaven's motherlode waits within the Mountain:
The Superior Person mines deep into history's wealth of wisdom and deeds, charging his character with timeless strength.

Persevere.
Drawing sustenance from these sources creates good fortune.
Then you may cross to the far shore.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

There are important precedents in this situation.
Others have trodden this Path before you, overcoming the same obstacles facing you now, and making crucial decisions at the same crossroads.
Study their journals, watch for their trail markings.
Gain inspiration and wisdom from the heroes and learn from the mistakes of those who chose a sidepath.
All were Seekers, explorers whose daring mapped a course you can follow.
The words and deeds of the finest can imbue you with the courage necessary to face what lies before you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is One Changing Line.

Hexagram Twenty-Six/Line Three:

A good stallion with speed.
Discipline daily, study your goal, and advance is assured.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transformed Hexagram:

41 - Forty-one
Sun / Decrease

The stoic Mountain drains its excess waters to the Lake below:
The Superior Person curbs his anger and sheds his desires.

To be frugal and content is to possess immeasurable wealth within.
Nothing of value could be refused such a person.
Make a portion of each meal a share of your offering.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is an occasion for downsizing to fighting trim.
Simplicity and economy are strong defenses against the slings and arrows of Outrageous Fortune.
Whether this is a time of want or a time of plenty, it is an auspicious time to shed a dependency.

Has anyone hit a triple double yet? I forgot to write stuff down the last time I checked the bonus stuff, all I remember is the Warriors being up by 20+ in made threes.

Also if it ends today and Curry has a good enough game to ice the MVP my ballot's shaping up pretty nicely.
