Not a good week for me. Fortunately except for Ragnarok and Ahmed Salem, none of the other top 10 players on the yearly chart made significant move. Now I'm tied with Scott in points total, but trail him by 0.01% in average.

Woohoo! I finished in the top 150 lol. Well I did get an 84% which is a lot better then what I did last week.

i find it odd that the deadline is thursday night...i expected sisterhood to be a huge factor this week but since everyone can see weds numbers i guess it wont be :???:

Damn, expect high numbers all around again this week I guess. I was hoping it would be early to make it more challenging and stop random flukers from winning ](*,)

Meanwhile, I'm on a roll \:D/ 4,4,13,13. I guess I'll get 22nd for the next two weeks... :wink:

It should still be harder than last year, when HP3 was the only opener and its predicted range was limited (85-105). Brandon won with a score of 95.31%, and 47 players scored over 90%.

Just curious - is it sunny in Sunnyvale? Or is it one of those ironic names like calling your cat "Dog" or your daughter "Jonathan"?

Hehe, it actually has been raining a lot the last couple of months, but overall, I'd say we see a lot of sunshines.

Now that I've reached 100 games, I see no reason for me to keep playing. I've achieved most of my goals, so I think it's a good time to retire.

You mean....the rest of us finally have a chance?

Just kidding. :wink: I can see what you mean - you kick ass week after week, probably hold every record in the books and you have an insummountable lead in the accuracy rankings - I'd say "nowhere to go but down" but I can't see anyone ever beating you consistently enough for that to happen.

Congratulations on a fantastic derby "career." =D>

A bit shocking news Ragnarok.

I see your reasoning, but still...Derby will be somehow 'empty' without you. Hopefully you'll change your mind.

And ofcourse, congrats on brilliant career.

WTF??? You're kidding, right???

I see many reasons for you to keep playing - we all want to beat you and thats why derby playing makes fun for us! I have to admit that every weekend I play I want to beat you (like I did this weekend - 12th vs 13th place :wink: )...

Now please keep playing - at least try to finish this year so you can get your well deserved 1st place for the yearly ranking!

Ragnarok, I'd love to see you continue playing. I can understand how you feel, as you're a league above everybody else, and there have been a lot of players come and go, and never one could challenge you on a consistent basis. However, it's that exact reason, for you to play at least once every 3 weeks or even just once a while, to keep your name up there on the all time chart to remind us the standard of excellence. The next generation of players should know that it's possible to average close to 85% in 100 games, and they shouldn't be satisfied by just beating Brandon.

4 KJers in the top 10, 7 in the top 20. Decent week I guess, suppose we've had better but this was a fairly high scoring week which tend to give less consistent players a shot at the top due to close scores. Congrats Ahmed Salem on continuing your fine form of the last 5 or so weeks.

And congrats again to Ragnarok for being awesome for the last 100 rounds. =D>

Yep, also congrats to Ahmed Salem - awesome score!!! :razz:

Thanks Nebs, Xiayun, Amos & Samweis.
Finally, after 93 weeks of ( bad ) predictions, i made it.

On a side note, I don't ever want to see Ragnarok quitting ( although he kept me off my first #1 4 weeks ago :razz: ). , I always take his predictions as a reference. I use his predictions as actuals, and if i'm above 85%, i feel pretty good.

Amos should win sometime soon.

I appreciate your comments guys. :grin:
My decision is final though. I could try winning the year but it's a bit of a trouble for me not to miss a game with my summer vacation and 30 more weeks are too many. Also, if I play once every 3 weeks to keep my name on the charts, I'll feel like I'm cheating. I'm not leaving the forums though. I'll try to post every once (in a long) while. :wink:

Btw, congrats to Ahmed Saled. Couldn't stop you from winning this time. =D>

Yes. Amos SHOULD. :evil:

*Gives everyone the Evil-Eye*


Who gets above 87 for 5 weeks in a row and can't win? ](*,)

Hmmm.....


.....hmmm......









....hmmm.....







YOU!!!!!! :razz:
