Also does anyone want to do a side bet for this week? PM me if so.

Alright, we are officially at the halfway point of the regular season!! A big shout out to PieSlutLA for earning the most points this week and to geyemessy1 for beating your opponent by the largest difference! (And a big apology to WamNewbie for the double loss this week.) PieSlutLA, feel free to assign WamNewbie a pie and location to take the pie, and geyemessy1, feel free to pick a mess for WamNewbie to take.

Its time for our results. We have 3 winners and 1 lovers this week. Nova Gunger is at the top with 6 correct guesses, and PieSlutLa and I tie for 2nd with 5 correct guesses. Messy_CA loses yet another week and is even closer to having to perform the last place teams forfeit from the main game. With a total of 15 pies. And we have 3 win streaks so everyone can choose an item to give Messy_CA. I'm giving out whipped cream.

Lol, I'm not even surprised anymore. Pie count is at 59.

WamNewbie, in order to encourage you to set your line up in future weeks, I'm going to need you to take a savory mustard pie to the face for your widest margin loss punishment

I personally think that we need to motivate him to do better and there is nothing quite like an ice cream wedgie for motivation.

Sigh, I still owe you that ice cream sundae in a swimsuit from our last sidebet, guess I'll just add a wedgie to it. We'll see if frozen balls will help improve my choices

Thanks to PieSlutLA for sending their punishment for WamNewbie ("they should sit on a pie (of their choosing) to cover the tight end position they left open last week") and geyemessy1 for posting their punishments.

Hey everyone! I hope you're enjoying the Fantasy Football League so far. Since we're at the halfway point, I wanted to check in to see how it's going and see if we need to make any adjustments? Two thoughts came to my mind and I was wondering what people thought:

1. People completing their "punishments" can either post pics or describe the mess they did. We've had 14 punishments given out in the main game, and only two of them have been completed (both by the same person) so far.
- Are people waiting until the completion of the season to complete their punishments?
- Should we come up with a timeline to complete a punishment? (something reasonable since not everyone can complete mess as easily as others?)
- At some point should people be disqualified from being assigned more mess until earlier assigned mess is completed? (Any mess assigned to them would go to the next closest person?)

2. We have people who dominated (highest point overall, biggest margin of victor) assign a mess. I was thinking there should be a reward for toughest battle (the smallest margin of win/loss).
- Should the person who wins the toughest battle assign a punishment to the person who lost the toughest battle?
- Should the two people in the toughest battle (in acknowledgement of their combined effort) be able to reassign messes? Or assign new messes (one picks the person, the other picks the mess).
- Something else for the toughest battle each week?
- Nothing for toughest battle each week?

Let me know your thoughts!

I vote for this idea.

I like the idea of the toughest match punishment too. Also as the only undefeated player I'll offer a side bet to anyone that wants to take it: if you are playing me in a given week and you win you can offer me 2 punishments of your choosing, but if you lose you owe 2 pies to the face. You can take the bet by posting on this thread or sending me a PM.

Hey all - sorry for silence here: have been offline a lot due first to a really busy time at work, then a really exhausting week of illness. Hope I'm back in the swing of things now and just going to try to set myself a better team for this week.

About various questions/issues above....

- Yes, I know I owe a lot of forfeits: will try to do them this weekend and post (at least) a description here.
- I like the idea of a "toughest match" battle.
- All of you playing the Pick 'Em game: good job, you're braver than me!

Continuing thanks to Poidog101 for keeping this show on the road!

I lost a side bet with novagunger and am locked in the costume carnival pillory for a day.

Hey everyone! I hope you're all excited for Week 8 of Fantasy Football. There should be some great match up this week. Based on what you wrote in the thread, going into the 2nd half of the season, we'll add a new category each week, "Toughest Battle" which will be the matchup with the smallest margin of victory each week. The winner of the toughest battle will get to assign their opponent that week a mess. Always nice to keep everyone on their toes!

Make sure to finalize your lineup, and good luck to everyone!

Pretty sure I am in BIG trouble this week

Well it looks like I got killed this week please keep my penalties drain safe beyond that I submit myself to the mercy of my betters.

Another week and another League Pick'Em result update, and this week we have quite the upset. After being on the losing end for 6 straight weeks Messy_CA finally dug himself out of some of those pies with their second win with 5 correct guesses.

Everyone else however lost, and quite badly. DBL999(me) only got 2 right and both Novagunger and PieSlutLA only got 1 right. So that's 5 pies for me and 6 pies each for Novagunger and PieSlutLA

Wow, what a week of firsts here during week 8. We have:
- The first loss of geyemessy1, breaking the undefeated season they were having
- The first punishments given to Novagunger after being safe and clean all this time
- The first hardest fought battle punishment to BrightShirtGuy, resulting in their first mess of the season too.
Just goes to show that anything can happen! Gunger_88, feel free to assign Novagunger a pie and location to take the pie, and kershawc69, feel free to pick a mess for Novagunger to take (drain safe, by request). For my closest battle victory over BrightShirtGuy, I'll ease them into the messy season with a tub of cake batter over their head.

DBL999 You may pick the how 2 of the pies are used and Messy_ca may pick how the other 4 are used.

Then I think a pie sandwich to your head is in order.

Nice to be on the winning side for once. Pie to the crotch and ass, and 2 to the face.

Gunger_88 has sent me their punishment for Novagunger and they have selected a blueberry pie to the face!

For my closest battle victory over BrightShirtGuy, I'll ease them into the messy season with a tub of cake batter over their head.

I though Orange cake batter would be on par for Halloween

You're not undefeated anymore, but we're facing off this week so if you're still offering the bet I'll take it.

You're on! I owe John Smith some mess already. If I lose again I'll tack it on when I get messy over Thanksgiving.

Nice let's so who wins

I was hoping to pay up this week but haven't received the second part of NY forfeit. Is there a time limit or anything on assigning it?

So sorry about that. Looking at their profile, it looks like kershawc69 hasn't logged into UMD in 17 days, so I'm not sure when they will again.

We should probably set a default mess in the event that people don't post their punishments in time. I'll propose that when the punishment is pie, the default is a pie (victim's choice) to the face, and then when the mess is open, the default is cake batter or chocolate syrup or slime (victim's choice) dumped over the head.

Thanks so much for staying on top of this, and getting your pay up in. It definitely adds to the fun of the league!

Sounds fair if I haven't heard anything from him by Monday I will go ahead with that l.

Sorry for getting this out so late. I haven't heard from kershawc69 yet, so Novagunger, if you don't hear today, feel free to do the default mess.
