Alright, I guess I'm try to explain this clearly. Ricedream is a roommate of mine. Basically, he saw me fill out a bracket and decided to sign up as well since he's a bigger gamer than I am. That's pretty much it.
Again, I'll explain why we have similar picks. As said, we realized that teams win by having similar picks. Let's do the math here. Assume Teammate 1 picks Link with 70% and Teammate 2 picks Link with 50%. No matter what, this team will always do worse than the team that picks Link with 60.5% and Link with 59.5%. If you don't believe me, just try doing the math. If Link gets anywhere below 50% or above 70%, the two teams have the same result. But if Link gets between 50% and 70%, the second team will outperform the first. As you can see, the first team will get at most 80 points no matter the outcome. We noticed this since the first match and decided to always average our picks ahead of time. Since there wasn't any rule against strategic team picking, we thought it was a smart, but admittedly cheap, idea.
Also, the log on time is probably the easiest to explain... we are roommates and we are on the same team. So of course, we share the same computer occasionally, especially when we are making picks.
It's pretty much impossible to prove we're not alts but I'll say that while I do want to do well, I'm not THAT serious about winning. I really don't have the time/effort to be creating alts for the sole purpose of getting top 5s (?), creating teams by myself and posting the exact same thing twice every day just for the sake of winning a team challenge and snooping around/checking past history/checking log-in times of other contestants for whatever reason.
But anyways, go ahead and remove/merge ricedream and the teams and whatever else you want, since it's hard to prove our case unless you really want a huge webcam party to show that yes, we are actually two people.
