    I think (after this season?) we should start a monthly pool that goes to the winner of the D1 division. For the alliances interested in a lil wager, I'll throw out some basics:

     

     

    Each alliance interested in entering the pool will have to put up 25K - 100k per alliance (whatever one works for the rest of you) and notify that they're taking part in the pool within the first 3 days of the month.

     

    The Prize money will go to the highest ranked alliance at the end of the month that enters the pool

     

    Must have a minimum of ___ opponent hype ( ___ = 150 - 170? ) at the end of the season in order to claim the prize

     

    If you don't meet the opponent hype requirement the next alliance with the highest points (that meets the opp hype) wins the prize

     

    In case of a draw, the alliance with the higher opponent hype wins. In case of another draw, the alliance with more finishes wins. In the highly unlikely event that all three statistics are tied, you split the fuckin prize

     

     

     

    Would anybody be interested in this? Can't think of any other rules that would apply. If enough alliances are game, with a big enough cash prize, we could do first place, second place, and third place cash prizes.

     

     

    I wonder if it's possible for Mike to program something like this into the game, that would allow us to put our money into the pool at the beginning of each season.

    Great idea. Let's do it

    big words from somebody who just gave a 1000+ word BJ 🤣

     

    Is that what you took home from that? You're sick.

    Personally, I'm still wondering why you're still talking. There's a fully grown man behind you "Deep in your game" and you're not battering an eyelid......still talking like nothing is going on. Why is no one addressing this?

    There's a Hare Here!!

    I see Sucker Punch taking over in 2022, now they have switched to open ID. Actually, I have so much faith in their success, I'm bringing as many of my fighters in as I can from now onwards. I have spoken to Hare about some some very exciting artwork contracts/projects coming up. Hare is an inspiration to the game and it's because of this, I'm thinking about picking up my paint brush again. Some of you may think I'm just praising his work because he's a fellow alliance member, but I guarantee you, he (as CEO) and his org will be at the number 1 spot, by 2023.

     

    Sucker Punch brings a really interesting element to matchmaking that I have never seen before. Like interesting interim arrangements that give a non-ranked opponent a chance to face a ranked one. He even offered a title shot to any challengers at least twice. He poses a serious threat to all competition in terms of what his org has to offer. I will explain:

     

    He proposes REALLY interesting matchups, between the lower tired fighters. I will be honest, I didn't really see the genius in it at the time. I'm old school. I usually just wanna see the best fight the fight the best. This is all fair between number one and two, but what about rematches and how does that bode for the next tier of fighters? You see, if the top 2 get match-up as default, then there can be an ever increasing gap; creating a clear divide between who is worthy and who is not. It can get a bit like an exclusive club. Only just recently has it become so evident that there are some orgs solely invested in short terms gains (hype) and others that are dedicated to the whole community.

     

    It's fair to say that each of top orgs has their own qualities and objectives. But all that give too much attention to one thing, fail at another. I am emphasising the importance of overall value, integrity and above all, longevity. It seems the (somewhat conventional) set-ups I've described, can concentrate too much on the top rungs at a cost of neglecting the other tiers; thus somewhat protecting the higher echelons by neglecting this incrementally increasing buffer/margin.

     

    So the genius in Hare's somewhat 'new school' methods of match-making, is that it actually addresses this; somehow closing that otherwise ever increasing gap. Other orgs might neglect or overlook such detail and unwittingly widening it, Hare tackles these issues. His 'no bullshit' approach and unorthodox style not only stays true to another level in terms of ethos, BUT ALSO encompasses a much wider berth in terms of an 'overall vision (or perspective). You know you are guaranteed to be looked after at Sucker Punch for the long term. The tortoise doesn't win this race. My money is on the Hare all the way!!

     

    Seeing how some of the other orgs run their tings now, I can say unequivocally, Hare is 100% reliable in terms of fair match-ups (i.e. zero questions in terms of favouritism). He's a stand up guy and absolutely takes a great deal of time and effort to enrich ALL of our experiences (not just a selected few). His write-ups alone kill it in turns of flavour. 

     

    His fairness, his community involvement and relentlessness pursuit to provide quality content is unprecedented. There is no argument here. Simply put, he's on another level.

    WORTHY OF NOTE: Hare didn't just make wild match-ups. He took the time to explain what his plans were in a mass mail asking everyone is there were any objections.

    Last time you had your shot vs Kilo you lasted all of 2 minutes 🤣

    you're light work carlos, super light work. why don't you let the grown ups of your alliance handle this one, okay bud?

    @Ramirez I used to think KJ was the future of the HW division, and then I realized his manager was trash. ❤️

    Are you referring to a fight 4 yrs ago? Jeeze Camara! You're a muppet!
