A sort of fantasy boxing simulator. Some 250 players entered their fighters into the competition. Now 32 remain and it's single elimination with seeds.

It all starts Wednesday, and surely some of you will bet each other friendly amounts before then?

fat bottomed girls is a 4lifer

i want to know y when i click on your thing to read it better that the bracket gets smaller instead of bigger.

kool?

am i degen enough? hell yes i am sir.

what game is that? sounds cool, lemme try it

Sure. The game can be found over at http:/www.vivi.com and it's been around for about 10 years. Unfortunately the site design hasn't changed during that time. And there are no fancy graphics whatsoever in the game. That of course means those of us who still play it are ugly geeks with humongous brains.

The learning curve is as steep as you want to make it. But if you want to get to know the game then create a gym and a few fighters, experiment around with different designs. Use the premade fight plans and then read up on the in-depth rules as you go, if you're still having fun.

Eventually, you'll find yourself writing fight plans (ie, the fighter's instructions for a fight) such as this one, and I'm sure way more advanced:

5B/8/7 (clinch)
2) if 10 * endurance_percent < (1044 - round * 44) then 5B/7/8 (clinch)
4) if score < 1 then 5B/8/7 (clinch)
4) if score < 1 and mystuns > hisstuns then 5B/7/8 (clinch)
4) if score < 1 and 10 * endurance_percent > (1033 - round * 33) then 5B/9/6 (clinch);
4) if score > 1 then 4B/8/8 (inside)
4) if score > 1 and (10 * endurance_percent < (1037 - round * 37) or mystuns > hisstuns) then 5B/8/7 (clinch);
if round = 5 and score < -2 then 6/7/7 (clinch)
if round = 6 and endurance_percent < 72 then 2B/1/8 (clinch)
7) if score < -2 then 7/6/7 (clinch)
7) if score < -2 and mystuns > hisstuns then 6/6/8 (clinch)
7) if score < -2 and 10 * endurance_percent < (1041 - round * 41) then 8/4/8 (clinch);
7) if score < -2 and opp < 2 and endurance_percent > 71 then 7/7/6 (clinch)
7) if score < -2 and opp < 2 and endurance_percent > 78 and mystuns < 2 then 4H/9/7 (inside);
7) if score > 0 and round < 11 then 4B/8/8 (clinch)
7) if score > 0 and (10 * endurance_percent < (1038 - round * 38) or mystuns > hisstuns) and round < 11 then 4/7/9 (clinch);
if round = 8 and score < -1 and mystuns < 2 then 5H/10/5 (clinch)
if round = 8 and score < -1 and opp < 2 then 5H/11/4 (clinch)
9) if score < 0 then 8/6/6 (clinch)
9) if score < 0 and endurance_percent < 70 then 7/6/7 (clinch)
9) if score < 0 and mystuns > hisstuns and opp = 2 then 5/8/7 (clinch)
9) if score < 0 and mystuns > hisstuns and endurance_percent > 72 and opp < 2 then 6/7/7 (clinch);
if round = 10 and score < 2 and mystuns < 2 and endurance_percent > 70 then 6/8/6 (clinch);
11) if score > (14 - round) then 4H/7/9 (clinch)
if round = 11 and score < 0 then 8/7/5 (clinch)
if round = 11 and score < 0 and mystuns > 0 then 8/5/7 (clinch)
if round = 11 and score < -2 then 5H/11/4 (clinch)
if round = 11 and score < 0 and opp < 2 then 6/9/5 (clinch)
if round = 12 and score = 1 then 10/3/7 (ring)
if round = 12 and score = 1 and opp < 2 and endurance_percent > 72 then 5H/9/6 (inside);
whenever round < 3 and warnings = 0 and score < 1 do cheat
whenever score < 3 and mystuns < 3 and opptiring = true do 5H/9/6 (clinch)

So basically, if you're skilled in programming (I'm not) you'll have an advantage in this game.

Wat

i wish i could find that clip where eddie griffin listens to jessica simpson ask nick lache if chicken of the sea tuna is fish or chicken...


he goes...

"fair question."

i once bet on a hand baccarat when i had absolutely no idea how it was played. won, too

Better Question-- Are you degen enough to bet on something you know is fixed ( online blackjack for example)??

count me in for a cnote

I mean, I won't be betting against you guys, because I know all the ins and outs and can probably figure out reasonably well who's a favorite. So I'm hoping that you guys will bet among yourselves.

Maybe John Voight thinks Thunder down under takes down Ghosts who walk, and somebody wants to take him up on that? I don't know.

1 bet 1 dollar

i have 17 dollars, wat you got?

I built my bankroll via online blackjack bonuses. Oh those were the days.

after teh friggin chowaha last Sunday, I'll pass, thx.

Short answer to the title question: Yes

Long answer to the title question: I've done it before many times.

Do the seeds mean anything? I would want to have some idea of what they're based on before betting.
