This time I won't be 1st for only two weeks. I'm aiming for overall win.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Sounds pretty cool, but I don't really like real life sports, nor fantasy sports LOL
"Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural

"Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell.

I submitted my team. As usual based entirely on what I expect to enjoy and not on what I expect to do well. 6 out of 7 were things I am already familiar with...

I admit it's surprisingly difficult to predict possible failures in the upcoming season. Gotta rely on mismanagement.

It's basically a game to compete. You pick anime from the current airing season, which this season it will be 'Spring'. They have rules set for shows you cannot use. You pick 5 shows for your main team and 2 for your bench. Points are determined VIA Biweekly post counts in threads, shows scoring, amount of dropped, favorites and currently watching, etc. the list goes on.

Think of it as something to do each week—except all you need to do is pick a team and see how it goes. You literally don't need to do anything but that and decide some other stuff which is explained in the thread.

As Tyrel said. And more succinctly, it's about trying to predict which shows that season will be the most popular, based on criteria like favorites, forum discussion, watching/completed numbers, dropped numbers, English simulcast availability, and so on.

I don't know where to post, since I thought there'd be a thread about it, but there's a problem when inputting apostrophes and quotation marks - a reverse solidus (because inputting that here won't show it) shows up before those two punctuation marks when updating the tag on the spot (clicking on the small edit button at the end of the space where the tag is supposed to be.

I noticed other problems as well like inputting a plus sign using the small edit button instead of the big Edit button next to the More button. The tag's edit button will replace the plus sign with a space, while the Edit button next to More will make it show, just that you have to refresh, of course.

You need to type it four Times in a Row to display one (\) when you post and/or edit your Message.

Oh wow, I almost forgot about this. I'm glad I made it back from my hiatus in time to participate.

Looks like I'll need to buckle down on finding out about next season. Hopefully I'll at least break the top 100 this time around. I learned a lot of lessons last time.
