i cant do all that til im back stateside which should be no later than this weekend. i would if i could

[ATrain]

alright well lets make a list of who all would be willing to stay up and do the two votes back to back, and when we have a list we could determine who to take out. Like if theres 18 of us we could take out UNI, 21 of us could take out towson, etc. Lets try and do it Tuesday/wednesday

I'm willing to do it

[jcmanson]

Here's what I think we need to do, and it's a lot more feasible than trying to get everyone to vote at the same time twice around midnight:

Start with the teams with the lowest vote total, and everyone target them.

Today - NC Central who has 5 votes
then Arkansas PB who has 5 votes
Tomorrow - Fordham with 11 votes
Thursday - Lafayette with 11 votes
etc. etc. etc.

Single-handily we could knock 1-2 teams out each day. And there's only like 30 teams left. We could survive doing this for a week or so. Then hope somebody else will help us out (maybe G-W).

That means no more voting for Montana, Delaware, or App State, and really we haven't done much of any damage to those teams anyways. And we likely won't.

This is what I'm doing. I'll be voting for NC Central today.

[army56mike]

I'm in! Took me a while to figure out how it works.

[jcmanson]

Good job. NC Central has already been eliminated.

Those of you that can still vote today go ahead and knock out Arkansas PB who only has 4 votes.

Once they are knocked out we can go after Howard who has 9 votes.

[ATrain]

Ark-PB is down to 3.
ODU is back in with 3, anyone know if Futureodualum has voted against us?

[Kolzilla41]

I just voted for Arkansas PB. I hope I did it correctly.

[jcmanson]

Arkansas Pine Bluff has been eliminated

[jcmanson]

NC Central, Arkansas PB, and now Howard have all been eliminated today. I like this strategy much better.

There are a number of teams who currently have 11 votes - Fordham, Laffy, and Jackson St

I say we attack Laffy next. I mean I never really liked them anyway

[Kolzilla41]

I'm game. I can hit them at 6 am.

[LUnpretty11]

Yeah, no point in trying to go for montana... there are more people against us than we have going for us. Just continue to knock off all the smaller school's and try and stay in as long as possible.

Just reiterating my earlier comment and how right I was

Laffy is out, Jackson State has 8 points remaining

[jcmanson]

Jackson St is down to 4. Our next target after Jackson St is eliminated can be Georgetown who has 11.

[rogers3]

Might be a bit silly, but its fun to see familiar names on the CS forum and it does pass the time.

[jcmanson]

Jackson St was eliminated earlier today.

Our next 3 targets:

Georgetown's at 3
Fordham's at 6
ODU's at 11

[jcmanson]

Georgetown's gone

Now on to Fordham

[rueful]

im hesitant about ODU, I mean yesterday when they came back alot of their votes were from Montana fans, etc., who were +ODU - LU. I just feel like others can take them out, but thats just me

[rueful]

id say hit south dakota state over ODU, but just my .02

I agree with rueful about ODU. After they were allowed back in the game, they picked up a few new users. I think the strategy should be to go after the teams that have very limited representation. (Montana State, Albany, Butler, South Dakota State, Southern, etc...) After knocking out one or two more, we need to work out a partnership. We need one of the schools with a good following (Montana, App State or Delaware) to join with us. We offer to work with them to eliminate the other two. After that it is fair game until one of us is eliminated (very likely to be Liberty). We also offer to push the other school over the top after we are eliminated.

[jcmanson]

Good point about ODU. I say we knock out Montana St.

Perhaps we can gain some sympathy votes or lack of votes against us from the Montana faithful if we knock them out.

[jcmanson]

Keeeeenaaan!!!!

What are you doing my friend??? You have to try to form an alliance "behind the scenes" not out in front of everyone. Don't take it personal, but I'm going to act like no one else on LU's side is in agreement with you. Haha!

[Keenan]

No offense taken, but you got to play the game! Who at this point in the game thinks we have a realistic shot at winning? Sometimes you have to take a deep shot down the field that doesn't have a very high probability of succeeding, but you have to try anyways. Besides, what if someone comes forth asking for our support now? Then you'll be loving me for it. If no one does, well we didn't have a chance of winning anyways! Right!?!?

[SumItUp]

I know I posted the alliance idea here in a public forum that is viewed by other CS members, but I figured someone would try to work it out through PM. I should have suggested to not ask directly in the game. Oh well.

Keenan, no worries, my friend, it's not a big deal. It's just a silly game. (but don't do it again next year)

[jcmanson]

no big deal man

I'm working on something

[jcmanson]

Fordham has been eliminated.

I say we go after Montana St next. They have 9 points right now.

Then South Dakota St who has 14
