PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"2012 NFL RTVW Suicide Pool: Week #1" |
All picks and last-minute signups due by 6:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday, September 5th. So you probably want to know about this year's twist and how that stands a reasonable chance of killing you along with everything else. Well -- surprise! Trying for the new power will not kill you! Probably! Unless you miss it really, really badly! And if you do, it's Goodell's fault and you can sue him for it, at least until he bribes someone into dismissing it under federal labor laws! The newest trick is to Go For Two, and here's how it works: the future corpse who winds up with this may, once during the season, take one -- and only one -- of the following pair of options. A. Select two teams in that week's pool.
B. Force one other player of their choice to select two teams instead. Normal pool rules continue to apply in that if you or your target miss a single pick, that person is dead meat. However -- if both picks are correct, the successful party gets the next week off and will automatically get through that portion of the minefield without having to make a pick. So if you're confident that you've got a pair of victims ready to go in an easy-looking week, you can invoke this on yourself and then coast through the rougher waters ahead. Or you can pull it on someone else in the deadliest part of the schedule and wait for them to fail -- except that if they don't, you've just handed them a brief free ride, during which you're still navigating the maze of wires around the explosives. There is no power in this game that does not have the potential to backstab you and generally, your grip is on the knife. Haven't you figured that out by now? Usage rules: If B is chosen, the other player must be told within twenty-four hours of the initial post time for that week's thread. Waiting any longer forfeits use of the power for that week: telling them after means you lose it for the season. Notification must be done both in the thread and by PM or Email. (It is the responsibility of all players to check this thread and their mailbox. If the person issuing the force does so on time and you never bother to find out, do not come crying to me because I will not care. This is a suicide pool. You're lucky you got that far.) You may only Go For Two as long as there are at least four players remaining: once we're down to three or less, the power is forfeit. This must be used between weeks #2 and #15 inclusive and is void beyond that. So how do you get this one? It's pretty easy and relies on nothing more than the competence of the replacement zebras. 1. Make your pick normally. 2. For your chosen game, you have the option to predict the total number of combined penalty yards (as a whole number) which will be charged to the teams involved. (So if you take Giants vs. Cowboys, this is the NY insult plus the TX injuries, and you're looking for the sum.) 3. The person closest to their predicted number wins. (Note that this is close on the absolute scale. We are not playing TPIR. Over by three is better than under by seven.) In the event of a tie, the earliest post takes it, and editing counts as changing the post time. 4. However, if you miss your prediction by more than seventy yards, you are out of the pool. Beware of newborn foals and Celebrity Pass Interference... As with last year, you don't have to play for the power if you don't want to. Of course, if you don't play for it, you could wind up being victimized by it. And if you do, you might end up victimizing yourself. Dallas at NY Giants
Indianapolis at Chicago
Philadelphia at Cleveland
New England at Tennessee
Atlanta at Kansas City 1
Jacksonville at Minnesota
Washington at New Orleans
Buffalo at NY Jets
St. Louis at Detroit
Miami at Houston
San Francisco at Green Bay
Seattle at Arizona
Carolina at Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh at Denver
Cincinnati at Baltimore
San Diego at Oakland You have met your killer and s/he is probably you. 
I should really donate some of this blood.

Don't blame me. The DR told me to say that in order to upset the Cat and the Reddie. (You know who I mean, alliance partner.)

Really wanted to go with the Rams, but I took Detroit in the Survival league and don't want to lose both sides in the first week. I will live on in one of these (if you call this living in the death house).

The problem with picking the opening game of the season? Getting it wrong means a very long off season.
