Weekly Predictions - pazuzu - 04-09-2019
For someone like myself who may be busy or who does not come on the site as often as others. What if about having weekly predictions for the whole season acceisble at week 1? I would keep the closing times the same. What do you all think?

This is a suggestion that's been brought up often, and although it would be possible to do this, I believe the reasoning behind posting them throughout the week is that it fosters more activity on the forum itself. People wouldn't be as active on the site as a whole without needing to come on each week for AC, weekly predictions, etc.

I would really like this too but maybe on a per week basis instead of the whole season.

This is the reason why I post them the way I do. I will never be in favor of posting the whole season at once, but I have considered doing them weekly. However, as PPT head, and I believe HO agrees, having the predictions this way does encourage more activity on the site and it does reward players who visit more frequently. So in essence, the more active you are, the more work you put in, and thus the more your player improves. Just like extra time after practice or in the weight room for real athletes. If people want to change it, that's fine, but as of now I will keep posting one at a time. I will however try to be better about posting the next prediction thread immediately after the previous games are simmed, this way people have the maximum amount of time to make predictions. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Maybe it might be possible to allow people to buy missed predictions? Say at the average, or even tier it up? Ie: one price point for 1tpe, another for 2, etc.
If equipment is $375,000 per tpe(for professional), maybe make it like $500k to buy prediction TPE, or make a purchase that just awards an average throughout the season for like $6M or something.
Just throwing out a random idea.

I recall Trifecta actually had a similar idea, granted he called it a make up PT (months ago? maybe even longer) that could work within this realms. Or you pay for the TPE you missed via predictions/pt's/etc

Yeah, missed PT purchase is a thing at efl, sba, and VHL, so it could in theory work for a missed predictions if the price point was low enough to get people to buy it, but high enough that actually doing the predictions is worth your time.
