One member entry. When we have 20 or 25 members ( per rules ) 5 or 4 sqaures will be randomly assigned and then the numbers for the header will be randomly generated by computer.

[Taliesin]

I'm in, although I'll need 4 more posts. I'll think of something inane, which shouldn't be too hard.

[Paradisecity]

I'm in. Do i have to do anything else?

Thanks!

Damn. Thanks yeszir for throwing me off. <_<

Doesn't it seem a little unfair that the late guys are getting 4 or 5 squares, while the early birds only get 3 or 2. :dunno:

On that note, count me in!

That's somewhat true. However, these people got screwed without satisfaction. Also, in compensation, they get a better chance a somewhat reduced prizes. All in all, I tried to make it as even as possible. I might be off a little in the mathematical equivalents, however, I'll chalk that up to pain and suffering.

[element1151]

I have total confidence in you SFoC. (And I'm in no way suggestion you should stop your generosity.)

One more of these, "I'm in " posts and I'll assign your original squares to a charity of my choosing. I'm thinking of one of my favorites: "ANTIGOD" ( A Need To Indulge & Get Overly Drunk ), I'm sure I could find some worthy recipients.

And to make you happy SFOC (btw I'm from Bourne originally) I'm in.

There was no criteria that the 10 posts be substantive, I assume.

You are now official. Congrats ! Nice to talk to another Cape Codder !!

[Taliesin]

Thanks. Same to you.

[Mr Crunchy]

yaz thanks for the heads up

off topic here we lost our friday nite bartender last nite
she calls in sick at 430 and her daughter calls her in dead at 630??
unfukinbelievable
amazing how bloody fleeting life is.
rip miss jeannie aldrich
you'll be missed my darlin

[YAZMAN]

Sorry to hear, Crunch, that's rough.

[Taliesin]

I'm really sorry Crunchy.

[Soxfan#1]

dont take this off topic.

[YAZMAN]

dont take this off topic.

First off, nobody is looking to derail SFC's thread, nor do the condolences do that. We appreciate what SFC is doing, and the next person who registers puts the thread back on topic.

Second, you're not even involved in this pool. Who died and made you boss? If SFC takes exception to the condolences, certainly they or the admin should be the one to comment on that.

Last, and most importantly, someone suddenly and unexpectly lost a friend. Demonstrate some class and decorum or please politely refrain from commenting.

[ORS]

dont take this off topic.
Jesus, lighten up. They are showing empathy over the loss of a life. Is your desire to play thread police so strong that you won't allow them to support a friend? Pathetic.

Crunch, sorry to hear about your friend.

[YAZMAN]

Sox Fan on Cape, sorry for the interruption regarding your pool. I just strongly felt that needed to be addressed.

[Soxfan#1]

Ok but canj't it be done by PM or by a new thread. This is what banned you guys last time. I don't want it to heppen again.

They didn't get banned for taking threads off-topic; they were banned because several members here overreacted and were fueding with them in just about every thread they posted in.

Just about every thread on this forum gets taken off-topic at some point, and that is the nature of discussion. It wil typically go off on tangents, but invariably gets back on point.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Sox Fan on Cape, sorry for the interruption regarding your pool. I just strongly felt that needed to be addressed.
No problem here. I also extend my condolences. The loss of friends and family, certainly dwarfs, any contest , thread or other trivial bull shit. I've lost and buried way too many people. This place is for fun and enjoyment, a chance to get away from the stress and rigors of our daily lives, nothing more.

Yes and that is the reason they were feuding with them.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Yes and that is the reason they were feuding with them.

But this is different man. Someone died. When we were fighting before it was about other almost pointless shit.

[empirestrikesback26]

I'll do it if you need another person.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I'll do it if you need another person.
Yup, you're in. We're at 15 now, we need five more by noon tomorrow.

[User Name]

Can we push back the deadline? To maybe something like 3?

Also, if we don't reach twenty, would it be a good idea to randomly pick an extra 5 or whatever amount needed out of a hat or something from the other grid?

[TheRivernator]

i'm in

[Sox Fan on Cape]

In effort to make sure that this grid gets filled, I have closed the grid. The reasons, are that it appears highly unlikely that the grid will be filled by noon tomorrow ( the deadline ). It was suggested to extend the deadline a few hours, this is not feasible to to my time constraints ( Tax Season, having a parties tomorrow for my twins birthday and Super Bowl ) and I doubt that the additional time will matter.

Now for the good news. All sixteen members that signed up for the Bonus Super Bowl Grid are in. In addition, to fill out the grid all but one of the 37 members of the original grid are in also. I eliminated myself so the numbers will work. Here's the breakout :

--The 16 signed-up for Bonus Grid get 4 squares ............ 16 x 4 = 64
--The 36 in the original pool get 1 square each............... 36 x 1 = 36

---------Total Squares Filled.......................................... 100

---------Total Squares Needed....................................... 100

[element1151]

Now I think this is the fairest we can get. I think almost everyone will have 4 (with a small minority getting 3)

Correct?

[RedSoxRooter]

so I DID make the grid after all, huh? You're the best, man. Seriously, you're like the nicest dude I've ever known....

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Now I think this is the fairest we can get. I think almost everyone will have 4 (with a small minority getting 3)

Correct?
That's correct. I will take the "carryover/ bonus" extra square in the original grid so that
every square is filled. This is as even as I can make it under the circumstances.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

so I DID make the grid after all, huh? You're the best, man. Seriously, you're like the nicest dude I've ever known....
I think this is fair to everyone. Good luck today!

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Okay fellow sports fans, have fun, indulge, and get lucky. Here's the grid :

[Fishsticks]

Thanks a million SFoC. I concur with RedSoxRooter, you're super great.
