Sorry, in the middle of corporate meetings, haven't really been able to post for a few weeks (that and I'm so far out of the playoffs at this point...)

I just made a $7 donation. Please swap Garcon with Sanders, giving me a meaningless victory in the name of reducing goon stalking.

Thank you good sir! If I win I shall give a portion of the pool to your charity as gratitude

One thing I think absolutely needs to happen is that the battle for third place must be a battle amongst kickers, as it was last year, and as it will always be. :v:

Confirmed.

Also I would be cool with letting people "donate" their dollars to one team or another. That seems fair and wouldn't be too disruptive. I am open to other suggestions.

The only other thing I can think of would be to let people use them to bid for draft positions next year. I'm OK with donating to different teams as long as it's decided now.

Would the donations work the same as they do now (bench to starter), or just straight +points? What level of cap for other team donations by each player? Say each person can add up to 10 points to keep it sane?

How about for this season, since we're already in the playoffs, we keep things as-is and have a post mortem?

Next year I'm also contemplating a 2 week kicker war for a gift card amongst all the people in places 5-12 since there isn't much going on otherwise. Maybe another gift card for the guys fighting for 3rd.

Here is what I think. Randomly adding points to playoff teams detracts from skill level. What do you think of teams out of the playoffs bequeathing their leftover pool to a team of their choosing still in it. (If they so choose) On top of this, I think the price for cheating should go up. $2 for every 1 point could be a decent baseline, but we could debate on an amount. I think this allows people to still use their money, while still encouraging further donations.

Beer4TheBeerGod

I think those two things together makes a lot of sense. I was debating the pool donation thing, but I wasn't sure how to do it without making it seem silly since point costs are the same. Changing it to $2 a point makes it work.

Okay, let's get some feedback. Does anyone here think that's not a good idea?

Since there's a chance (OH GOD CUTLER PLEASE THROW EVERYTHING TO WILSON) that it might matter, I would really appreciate some feedback on the $2/point and helping others rule for the playoffs.

$2/point, must be decided before it starts and there should be some sort of competition between the players for the points.

I like this idea but have no idea how to do the competition. If the players lived near each other some kind of Thunderdome could be involved though.

I absolutely believe if someone wants to donate their remaining pool to any of the remaining four teams, they should be allowed to make ridiculous internet demands for the entertainment of the thread.
