yuzupon Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 As I have been putting what I want to see on the podium, can we pretty please have the choice of not putting anyone in Men's 1st place for GPF? Cz even thinking I have to put someone else's name, I'm. I don't think I can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Well regarding the NHK round for now, I would have personally suggested that we don't count the men's event, if everyone is okay with that. If you all want it to count, I'll do so, but frankly it won't be too many points given how everyone guessed and maybe the less we all think about the men's event at NHK at all, the better.

I don't know if it has been confirmed though. Maybe this would explain both the layout downgrade and the slowness even in his stsq. I haven't checked in the jpn thread tho. the thing is, everything can change so suddenly (And then there is just sheer bad luck. Like getting a fever. Darn) *sigh* I'm frankly freaked out a bit...it's like a weird injury/sickness thingy has been spreading out among the top 6 men, first PChiddy and then Javi, now Yuzu. And they are all just weird, freak incidents. I'm going to knock on wood and hope that the younger guys stay alright, well at least Mikhail's in without a freak incident.

Fay Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Guys, the three top men underperforming or getting injured has nothing to do with our prediction game. Really. These things just happen sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykuroneko Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'll still do the game since it's the only way I can be interested in GPS aka this my coping mechanism but I'm agree with @Joey's suggestion to not count the men's event Even though i'm so superstitious, I don't think our game jinx anyone. If there's jinx, the culprits are PJ and JW, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didn't get around to it yet, but I'll try to put up the prediction round for IdF today in the evening (together with finishing the NHK point counting). So yeah, I'll continue with the game, and everyone is free to participate or not, for any reason (just as before). I would like to say though that really, nothing we predict here has anything to do with the troubles so many skaters - including Yuzu - have to go through this season ^^" I doubt that even if the skating gods would exist and see this, they'd think we are that important to curse so many skaters just because of us/our predictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time, when you're in the first stages of grief over Yuzu's injury, you don't think logically or rationally so I blamed it on my jinxing him with predictions (not just here, there's also the US Skating Fantasy game). I'll continue the game, of course. But I'm not sure my logical brain will allow me to bypass my superstitious ass for Olympic predictions when they come.

Well Olympics are still a long way (and a lot of predictions) off, thankfully xD And JNats would be before anyway too... but well, if you guys really don't want to predict the mens there (I mean the majority doesn't), then we'd leave those out I guess. We're not forced to predict after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Okay, let's get NHK done & over with - prediction game results are here! We had at least one person managing the full 14 points per discipline: Yata, Xen & me in ladies; Crazykuroneko, golden, Kelly, ralucutzagy, Smultron & me in Pairs; Hannah & Lily in Ice Dance. Overall, the winners list for NHK looks quite funny, because close together: 1.) Joey (yes me again, it's kind of weird to either write my nick or 'me' in these instances, must be said) - 35 points 2.) Yata - 34 points 3.) Smultron - 33 points 4.) Xen - 32 points 5.) Hannah - 31 points 6.) golden - 30 points Look at that pretty points ladder, and everything scored once to boot! And would you believe it, that's my highest point total yet, despite NHK literally missing a discipline. Lol. And I'm not alone, same for Hannah, Neenah, novana, Smultron & Xen! Updated overall standings: 1.) Yata - 135 2.) Joey - 126 (whut) 3.) Kelly - 122 4.) kitsune - 121 5.) ralucutzagy, xeyra - 120 As you can see, Yata is running away with some of us following in her foot steps, fighting more closely for 2nd place. Will any of us be able to challenge Yata in the next 3 events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mens field is the odd one, the other ones are still all in the realm of predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
