but yes traditionally the lottery was separate from an immunity challenge but I thought the lotto idea was cool
I was confused because of this earlier:

If I had known that I woulda spent every penny on the lottery.
I guess my response would be what did people think the immunity lottery was then? If I have made some sort of mistake I will own it but I feel like it was clear.
The purpose of doing it this way was for people to show theysuper confidant about where they sat allowing othets to go for immunity. Sort of like in Survivior when they say you can compete for immunity or sit and watch and eat this burger.
At first, I thought the immunity was for the next challenge like a bye. Otherwise I'd have blown my wad more on tickets like Rev.
We are going to continue with the vote. I have some already sent. If you have not sent please send em in.
Still waiting. If I do not have all of them by 1:00 (the end of my practice) we will proceed accordingly.
and its that close of a vote?
Update:
Announcement on our next challenge with in an hour. Need not be present at that time but small advantage may be gained by those who are quicker to respond to the challenge.
@Donald purchased a small advantage in the upcoming round. As a result he also can choose 1 other person who will get that same advantage. Please let me know who you want to gain that advantage with you. You can post it in here.
responding
I mean once I post the challenge then you have a choice to make. Sooner you do that the better.
Challenge: Best of the lousiest, or the lousiest of the best
Using the NFL sim found here we will be having an 8 team, single elimination tournament. You may choose any team in the sim with a below .500 record and choose which playbook they use. Feel free to play around with the sim and figure out its quirks. It allows you to sim as many games as you wish. (Hint if you play a team where a QB was injured at some point in the season he wont take all of the snaps in the game) The match ups will be randomized to start and then we will have a straight bracket from there. Home team will be decided by who ever had submitted their team and playbook to me first. (I do not know what advantages, if any the sim gives the home team. maybe you will learn if you play with it enough) You may not switch up your playbooks or teams at any after you submit. Weather will be set to no precipitation, 70 degrees and no wind.
Donald won an advantage and he will be able to give that advantage to one other person. He and that person will be on opposite sides of the bracket so they can only meet in the championship. In addition they may choose a team who was .500 on the season while everyone else must be below.
Please ask if you have a question. My hope is to have all teams submitted with in 24 hours. This will be a quick challenge.
2014 Carolina Panthers
Favor run
Teams can be posted in here or sent in.
I'm willing to bet the house that that's Jordo!

I guess I might as well post it in here
2010 Seattle Seahawks
Favor Run
2016 Arizona Cardinals
Favor Run
Can I quickly switch back to balanced?
Okay I've played about with the sims.
2018 Jacksonville Jaguars
Favour Run
2018 NY Giants
Balanced
Waiting on a few teams and @Donald to pick who else gets the advantage...
2018 Carolina Panthers
West Coast
I'll pick Badger as my advantage.
Cheers Donald!
Am I allowed to change my team to one with a .500 record Knee or will I have to stick with the one I've submitted because I put that before I knew I was getting the advantage?
You can go to a .500 team. Lets get these in so I can simulate the tournament tonight. I have done a few exhibition games with teams vs the team I would pick and its been very fun.
Cool. I'll have another play around and will post one up ASAP.
2016 Baltimore Ravens Balanced
That should be us or are we still waiting on anyone?
No I have them all. Sorry for the delay. I planed on putting my house on the market in the next week or two. Last night my realtor called me and told me he had a buyer who was very interested in my place and wanted to know if he could see it before we put it on the market. (The market here is very hot) So I spent last night and all of this morning cleaning and organizing, including my kids bedrooms who are on spring break at the moment in the Caribbean. I am leaving shortly for practice but will sim everything this afternoon around 3pm central.
Thanks
My parents recently sold their house "pre-market". Same kind of situation. I'm not sure which is better in terms of maximizing value but they sold theirs without ever having to take pictures or do open houses.
Knee, I'll beat their offer by a $1
About 15 years ago, our family moved house but the previous owner was a bit of a hermit who kept herself to herself and didn't realky bother looking after it before we moved so we had to spend loads of time cleaning it such as dog piss on the carpets. That was not fun.
Meant to say 25 not 15.
Just like me Badger, always blaming it on the dog
It ate my homework a lot too.
Tournament has been set.
Top half of bracket:
Donald 2018 Panthers West Coast @ Pablo 2010 Seahawks Run
Kotre 2015 Panthers Pass @ Fro 2014 Panthers Run
Bottom Half:
Kdestiny 2016 Cardinals Balanced @ Rev 2014 Saints Pass
Badger 2016 Ravens Balanced @ BBF 2018 Giants Balanced
I am just going to post results and not mess with uploading screen shots.
Carolina 34 Seattle 28 OT -McCafery 48 yard TD run in OT his second of the game
Cam Newton also threw 3 TDs in the victory
And of course I just now realize the 2015 Panthers were far from below .500 so @Kotre needs to pick again quickly or we will move on without him
New Orleans Saints 38 Arizona Cardinals 31- Pierre Thomas scores on a 14 yard TD with 53 seconds to go. It was Brees' 4th TD of the game
Ravens 20 Giants 17 - A defensive slug fest which featured 3 INTs by Flacco and 2 more by Eli. Sequon scored both Giant TDs, the Ravens were by something called Justin Pitta and Javorious Allen.
Alright I am going to proceed by giving Kotre the 2016 Browns. West Coast.
Ooh lovely! I actually thought I was going to lose that one from the sims I played.
Panthers 24 Browns 17- Browns lead with 25 seconds to go when Deangelo Williams scores from a yard out. Jonathan Stewart runs for 126 and a scores a TD
That Jon Stewart! First he taunts Cena, now he runs for 126. What a multi-talented guy.
Semi Finals
Top half of bracket:
Donald 2018 Panthers West Coast @ Fro 2014 Panthers Run
Bottom Half:
Badger 2016 Ravens Balanced @ Rev 2014 Saints Pass
Yeah, only just got this. I'll hold that L since it looks like I've given up a bye due to stupidity.
Or change it to 2012 balanced Panthers
He's already done first round results so you're too late.
That's what I assumed. But ya know it's not like I have anything to lose by asking.
Second Round:
Donald's Panthers defeat Fro's Panthers 26-24
Both Cam's throw for 2 TDs, Donald's squad wins the second quarter 16-7
Second Round:
Saints 28 Ravens 21
Saints trailed 21-20 after 3 but scored with 1:37 left Colston from Brees. Brees threw for 3tds and 287.
Bastard! So close!
Finals
Saints 35 Panthers 32
Drew Brees is a man. 4tds, 361 yards
Cam was solid in his own right. 3tds 235 and another 80 yards on the ground.
Congrats to Rev who has won immunity!
For fun I pitted my choice, the 2017 Packers against Rev's Saints in NO. Saints lead 17-6 going into the 4th. Rodgers leads the Packers back for 2 scores to take the lead 20-17. Breese then leads a 16 play 70 yard drive to take the lead 24-21 with 43 seconds left. Rodgers drives the Packers to the 48 yard line. They eschew the 65 yard FG to tie and opt for a Rodgers hail marry. WHICH IS CAUGHT! For an interception and the Saints win 24-21.
Helluva game Rev!
No idea how the game of hand egg works lol
trust me it was mostly luck
with our teams having to be under .500 it made it fair for people who don't know the sport
I've only ever watched a couple of Superbowls. I was surprised I made it past BBF and only lost by 97 seconds to the eventual winner Rev.
This is very true. Rev and Fro had the first two teams in. I simed them against each other 6 times 3 home and home and they split 3-3 with the road team going 2-1 for each.
I ran the sims last night and had me beating Rev but losing to BBF. I think there's outside factors I may have missed or it's just randomised and pure luck.
Well the teams should be pretty equal. However they playbooks chosen matter as well.
Still waiting on votes. Lets gt em in guys.
Will be with you within the hour.
My vote's in but I have also sent a follow-up question to Knee. Chances are I'll be asleep by the time he replies but will check in the morning before I leave for work and on my lunch break.
No rush. Waiting on a couple.
Voting this round was a bit of a mess. Cleaning it up now. Results to come on my prep hour in about 30 min or so.
Welcome to Tribal Council. Rev has immunity. I will read the votes. Reminder, you do not want to see your name here. The person receiving the most votes is out of the game.
Is there anyone who wishes to play a hidden immunity mask?

The next challenge will go up today. It is turned based so I hope we can all be active and get this one done over the course of this week.
Survivor Out of Space
Players are placed on a 10X10 grid below. On their turn the indicate if they want to move up, down, left or right. You may only step on a square that is a O. Once a square has been stepped on it becomes and X and no once can step on it again. You may not move diagonally, you may not share a square with another player.
Once you can no longer move you are out. The last person left is the winner. Kdestiny won an advantage in this challenge with his mystery box at the auction. That advantage is his starting space. Everyone else has been placed randomly. You are indicated by the First Initial of your name. B is Badger, BB is BBF. I will update the chart when I am on, but you do not need to wait for me to update before you go.
Please ask questions before we start. This afternoon I will draw the order of play and we will begin.

This is an interesting one. I like it. Can we set a time limit where if the person doesn't choose by that time you move them in a random direction based off a dice roll or something?
- - - Updated - - -
Actually I take that back unless the limit is 12 hours just because of sleeping and time zones.
I am not going to put a time limit on but I will be pushing people along. I want this to wrap up over this week. I think overall this round of Survivor has moved well and we have not had anyone miss a vote yet.
Here is the order:
@kdestiny

BBF
Donald
Pabs
