Warrior General Games

In an ideal world there would be

-For each league/contest: a summary page with all remaining players and each eliminated player with when they were eliminated.
-You could click on each player and see what picks they've made, and ideally what teams they have left
-You could make picks for future weeks.
-You could have a survivor home page with all of the contests you are participating in
-The home page would tell you your most recent successful pick, when the next sim starts, and if you have a pick yet
-After each contest (on your home page) a summary of participants who began and the number remaining would be nice.
-It would be cool to have access to other random stats like number of eliminations by pick (picking none, picking Marblehead, etc.). Or even more comprehensive, how many times each thing has been picks (picking Marblehead, picking against Marblehead, etc.) and the success rate of each of those types of picks. How many remaining players can still pick Marblehead, how many can pick against Marrblehead, etc.

I've got other ideas/suggestions. If you want my help, feel free to PM me.

I haven't gone through this full thread due to lack of time, so this may have already been suggested...

It would be nice for all picks to be masked until after they have been locked; requiring each user to do their own due diligence to determine the match-up they want to pick from. That would keep the sheep mentality out of it, where a casual observer can come last-minute, determine the most popular pick and judge if it's one they'd choose too.

The popular pick isn't a sure-fire bet, but it can definitely influence the picks of others.

I'm going to +1 this again.

Glad to have you part of the discussion, AA. We wouldn't be doing this but for you.

A lot of this is already part of the OP. I'll add the part I bolded. Any other ideas are appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this was suggested before. I think this is a little more controversial than the rest of the suggestion, so I'm not going to include it. You could start your own thread just for that and see what kind of support you get.

If AA says it needs to be so, you better make it so.

You did steal his idea after all

Also, add in the ability for users to make picks for later weeks. This would be good, especially if someone has to go away from GLB for a bit (such as a vacation) but still allow them to participate in it. If they get eliminated while they are gone, the picks don't count, but if they are still in it, they don't get penalized for being away for more than 2 days.

If this is considered, should be only be able to set 2 or 3 gms ahead.
I think part of the objective of gm is to increase activity & but being able to set 1/2 a season ahead rewards the less active. IMO

I am so excite. Survivor is one of those little things that really brings a lot of interest to this game. It kind of ties in to the excitement in the early seasons of this game when people actually gave a shit about almost all the scores in their league. Has totally revived my interest in teams I'm not associated with.

I just started playing the survivor game this season but just in one league, I'd probably do more if these enhancements were added.
