LatinXTC Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 lol why do I feel like Scotguy is going to end up with a negative number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 updated leaderboard. since athletics hasn't even begun, this tally won't get very accurate until 3-4 days before the games end. but that doesn't mean it isn't exciting! considering the point values aren't very scientific or even fair (no bronze medal counts for main countries cause i said so), it's producing some interesting results, especially for sagacious, whose against country, japan, have been trending toward bronze medals (they have 10) and those don't count against his totals. in a fairer comp, bronzes would be +/-1 and wildcards would probably be regular points x3, instead of x3 +1. so either because countries haven't won any medals or because my system is actually awesome and statistically brilliant, half the field is at +/- 3. the deductions are hurting and the wildcards are helping just as god (me) intended. also, no zika yet? i did see a capsized ukrainian rower this morning and i have to believe a hospitalization is hours away. and of course we haven't seen open-water swimming, and sailing probably should have been cancelled or moved ages ago. and a bus got shot at but no one died (it's only a matter of time). but i digress.

Sir Rols Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Who got Germany? Did you include point for CAF getting his camera stolen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 CAF isn't a participant in this comp or i would have included. points for robberies are for athletes only or sweeps players as we are, all of us, the true olympians. so far i can only find evidence of a chinese athlete and a spanish sailor being robbed (oof the luck on him), but back in may, along with some paralympians and coaches. even the chinese athlete and the australian laptop incident (which is what birthed the points rule in the first place) fell technically outside the scope of the games proper. lots of technicalities but we're still waiting on a true athlete robbery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow Posted August 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 +5 points to scotguy, courtesy of ryan lochte. i hope the muggers took that bad bleach job with them. +5 for sagacious - belgian judo bronze medalist robbed and given a black eye by a random mugger. guess we know why he didn't get to the gold medal bout.

Bezzi Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 The first case is still being investigated but I believe it's true because a brazilian swimmer was with them and confirmed the story. On the second case, the athlete told this story to avoid problems as he was drunken and tried to invade a hotel chasind a prostitute. The police already know who attacked him. was a hotel security where the prostitute was staying. http://jornaltribunadonorte.net/noticias/medalhista-do-judo-arruma-confusao-e-apanha-de-seguranca/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't scotguy get 20 points because there were 4 American athletes involved in that robbing? So 5 each? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow Posted August 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 yes, my mistake. i was counting incidents but the language used in the first page makes it clear he would get the points per athlete robbed. we are still reviewing the second incident. right now we are waiting on independent (non brazilian) media confirmation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezzi Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yoshi almost won some extra points. The media here reported that the girls of the New Zealand Rugby were found in a 24-hour market late at night trying to buy drinks and someone helped them to buy a few bottles of vodka. Then they took soome "silver medals!" from bag and began to take pictures with the person who helped them. The photos can be found on the internet. Druken girls alone wearing medals late at night in Barra region! Can you believe? I thought they had recommendations about leave the village without security.

LatinXTC Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 What about the incident where the Dutch male gymnast was expelled from competition because he missed curfew because he was drinking? Can't remember his name but he's nicknamed the lord of the rings. Funny thing is I remember reading about him that he served a ban because he went into a competition all coked up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekekelso Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 So, how many points do you get if someone from your country tells a fib to their mom, who blabs to the press which eventually leads to an international incident? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 final tally, congrats to our medalists. i worked long and hard for your victory. Sagacious 88*LatinXTC 62*Bezzi (weird name) 52 woohoo 42 zigzag 37 Rols 19 tnmp 19 Rob 12 Mark 8 thorbr 5 yoshi 1 gotosy 0 phandrosis -14 krow -15* Scotguy -93* * meant +5 robbery points, as each of those players had a confirmed athlete robbery. i kept the beligum robbery because something sketch happened there regardless; obviously took away lochte and co. but english gardner was also robbed of her phone. GB and australia had robbed athletes, too. so after all that, i came in 2nd last place, meaning this little experiment probably didn't work out so good. i knew the russia/japan pairing was not good and resisted it until puppy pissed me off to the point where i gave it out anyway. belgium and argentina should not have been wildcards either but this is what happens when you have me making the lists and not intoronto. i also forgot after a few days to root against france -- but i did manage to remember to go for botswana and australia. some of these scores were MASSIVELY saved by wildcards. LatinXTC would have won if belgium didn't save sagacious with its huge point values (two golds, two silvers, two bronzes). they also helped bezzi and zigzag quite a bit. if i ever wanted to torture myself and do this again, i probably would only do FOR and WILDCARD countries. the subtraction added in too many variables and i don't think anyone cared. and yes, next time i'd probably count bronze medals, too.
