I dont necessarily need a unanimous vote, But would love 3/4 to agree to this.

I concur with this. 2 picks / week should minimize the number of extra weeks this has to run.

I cant get in on this still right?

McDunning asked me to reach out since he's not on the forums.

What about setting up a new private league that only the 4 of you can join. Require 2 picks each week and match the picks up against previous picks to make sure that there aren't any duplicates.

Emailing picks in could create an unfair advantage of being able to make your picks after everyone else has made theirs.

I don't even know if he would be down with requiring 2 picks each week as it would be changing the original format.

This could easily turn into a mess.
We could just PM Wade our pick,
Or picks(2 a week is fine by me)
Before TNF, Wade could post everyone
Pick At the Start of TNF.
Wade or anyone can check the
History to make sure the pic is legal.
Illegal pick is eliminated (you lose the bet
And the game)

Or we can just call it.
We each get 5k in gold.
Or I’m cool with whatever.

But Wade would still be able to make his picks after he sees everyone else's picks. That seems like an unfair advantage.

Also, why change it so your picks have to be in before TNF? I know that there were weeks that in which I changed my pick on Sunday morning.

Wade was eliminated in week 4. He is just running the league at this point.

We are down to Endgame, Me, McDunning, and Falcon.

I am up for whatever you all decide.

3 out of 4 must agree to whatever you all decide.

I agree that choosing before the game you pick should be all that is required.

I would like to see 2 picks required, but it isnt up to me.

I vote for 2 picks to speed things up. I’m fine with pming wade before the games.

Same/Agreed/This

Here is McDunning's point of view. If the league was set up for 2 picks after week 10 from the start than he would have used a different strategy when making his picks from the beginning. To change the format now would be unreasonable.

I can see his POV but what is his proposal for making sure this doesn't go to week 17.
