I get he's named after a fucko, but I think they can still use the name because who actually gives a shit since barely anyone associates that name with that asshole. But if you're going to change the name then why are we going with something that isn't as cool or inspired as the rest of the names? At least stick with a last name that's two syllables and flows easily.

and yet naming him after a literal outlaw is a-ok

Load up the game and I'm immediately greeted with 15 bonding points, holy shit. I'm not sure what that means for me but I'm a little scared. How many bonding points do you get here Mzero?

7 for me. Yeah I was pretty surprised at the sudden jump too!

Also, wasn't Zeit playable at some point in Crossbell, or am I just hallucinating that? It's a bit sad since it's only been a few months since I've played the Crossbell games but I don't really remember. Also, mega shoutouts to Mzero because he had me shipped an Elie figurine from Japan that sits on my desk now, you're seriously the coolest guy for that one.

near the end of Azure after Lloyd breaks out of prison you get Zeit as a party member for a short time while you're reuniting the team, then he leaves after you get everyone. And glad you're enjoying the nendroid!

Oh yeah, that is befitting of a worst matchup. 4 of my top 5 are in Lopen's bottom 5, and he has my single most hated character at number 1. I will remember this, @Lopen , in all our future encounters. Watch your back. I bet you hate Tidus and Rinoa and Ghido too. You probably love villains and Vaan and Snow Villiers. Sickening.

I think Lopen likes Tidus

also Snow rules

We have determined it will be Locke

Another good question would be what sports city overall has had the worst teams in the last 50+ years, limiting it to cities with at least two major sports franchises.

That would eliminate Detroit because of the Red Wings and Pistons. Could it still be Cleveland despite the Lebron years because their baseball and football teams have won nothing?

It could be San Diego since the Chargers were there most of the time, so they would still count.

Might be Phoenix, although most of the teams have only been there for around 30 years. We've established that the Cardinals are among the worst NFL franchises, and someone mentioned the Coyotes in the NHL. The Diamondbacks won the city's only title in 2001 but have been mostly mediocre since. The Suns are the lone biright spot, but just had a decade long playoff drought and are 0-3 in the finals.

We finally have some people on Level 5! Meanwhile, Level 3 continues to be quicksand for many of us.

A few ground rules:
-Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will be obvious, but this makes it easier for me to record the picks.
-The deadline to make a pick is before kick-off of the game in question. You cannot pick a game that has already started. Some levels may have different deadlines, so read carefully.
-The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET).
-Please don't edit your picks. If you'd like to change, please do so in a clearly labeled new post.
-I get my spreads from an online site providing lines from several sources, both in Vegas and out. Although these sources may continue to change their lines throughout the week, the ones I post in the topic are frozen and final for our purposes.
-You may use bonus points to skip any level after it is guaranteed you cannot pass it (at the end of the week's games, typically). If you have earned a bonus point during the same week, it is eligible to be used. You may only skip the level before I have posted the next week's topic. The price for skipping is in proportion to the level you are skipping. Skipping level 1 would take 1 bonus point, level 2 will take 2, level 5 will take 5. So on and so forth.

Explanation of Levels:

Level 1: Pick a winner. Simply pick one team to win their game. If they win, you go on to level 2.

Level 2: Pick an Underdog to win. You must pick a team that is an underdog to win their game. Underdogs will always be the team listed second.

Level 3: 2 Games with Spread. Using the spreads I provide, pick 2 games. You must get both correct to move on. Spreads work by giving (-) or getting (+) points. The team that is the favorite to win "gives" points to the underdog. If you choose the favorite to win, they must still win after "giving" those points to the underdog. If you choose the underdog, you would be correct if they win the game after "getting" those points. For example, if a game says "Giants (-2.5) vs. Cowboys," if you pick the Giants, they must actually win the game by at least three points; if you pick the Cowboys, you would win if they actually won the game or lost by two points or less.

Level 4: 2 Game differentials. Pick two games and specify them to have a score differential of either 10+ or 5-. Make sure to specify which you pick, if you pick a score to be 10+ and the score ends up 3 apart, you do not advance. You do not need to pick the winner, as long as the differential is correct, it does not matter which team wins.

Level 5: 2 Over/Unders: I will now provide over/unders for each game. This number relates to the final score. You must choose 2 of the games and decide whether the final score will be OVER the number I provided or UNDER the number I provided. You must get both of these correct to advance.

CLEVELAND (-3.5) vs Denver 42.5

Bonus: Ezekiel Elliot

It doesn't matter because Zeke didn't score a TD, but the deadline for the bonus is early games. I think I'll probably change it in future weeks when it doesn't make sense to have that cutoff

well, i'm an idiot but both LA games and the washington game went 10+ so i feel like i earned credit here regardless

I'll give you credit for that, but unfortunately you also picked Bills/Titans 10+!

The Mariners have had some of the most famous players in baseball over the last 30+ years

IMO having generational talent and still failing to reach any sort of success is more pathetic than just not having the talent. The Mariners are definitely the Lions of the MLB

Almost 200 points in fantasy and of course I was up against the lowest scorer of the week. Almost a 90 point win

My receivers accounted for 80 points on their own (Kupp, Lamb, Diggs). If Diggs got a TD at the end there I would have broke 200

Titans had to lose to the Jets to preserve some drama in the AFC South

otherwise we'd already be up 4 games 6 weeks into the season lawl

they should have lost to the Colts or Jags, that would have been more dramatic!

if we're going worst baseball team, it's probably the Padres

they have the worst regular season AND postseason winning percentage in baseball history for active franchises and have accomplished nothing of note aside from one World Series appearance in which they got swept by the Yankees

Hey, that's two World Series appearances, thank you very much!

Ideally lefty doesn't mind but even if he does - tough! I have some more finals stats since I was tracking things all along just in case. I remember early on just hoping Aerith could get things under 55-45 by the end... didn't think it'd get so close but more new names kept popping in and more importantly, returning for additional saves.

why are the pages out of order for topic 1
