Triple Play... IN THE FREAKIN' 6 SLOT!

If anybody out there still had doubts that Mike and Adam know we're playing FPG, those doubts were erased today.  Man... what a way to start the new FPG season, huh?

So who actually won the Veterans Day special?  Well... coming in third place with an impressive score of 8 MP/26 CP on picks of Grand (wS/rR), Most (rS/wR), and Cross (rS/rR) was ShatterMySoul99!

This week's runner-up went 4-for-6 and scored 8 MP/34 CP on picks of Grand (wS/rR), Most (wS/rR), Flippy (wS/rR), and TP (wS/rR--WRONG SLOT!  I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT CRAP!)  That was Kev347!

But this week's winner nailed two pricing games--Grand (rS/rR) and L7 (rS/rR)--for a score of 8 MP/36 CP.





























What the...?!  It's the Hag!  Well done, sir!

Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

And with the game's creator getting a goose egg, too.  :P

I'll take 8th after a fast start and nowhere to go after that.

Willy refined the FPG into our signature game, but he didn't create it.  Actually, its creator hasn't posted in almost a decade.

^Then who created the FPG?
The above is my opinion and mine alone.

To answer your questions: yes, I am a guy and yes, I have a face. (I also have the occasional spurt of weirdness.)

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

I cannot believe I came in 3rd on my first time out.   Talk about beginner's luck.   And to think, I almost didn't play...

Wow, I thought because he had FPG in the name he created it but I was wrong. I never knew that.

This FPG really is a fun game! I look forward to being a regular here  :biggrin:

18th out of 22 isn't bad. To tell you the truth, I didn't think I would get any picks right either.

I realized as I was watching Friday's and re-reading the rules that I had done my confidence ratings backwards, but it seems to have worked out lol

Notetaker.  I couldn't explain who he is in a way that would mean anything to anyone who's here right now -- only our longest-standing members would remember him.
