Good question. According to the original rules, you're out for good. While weighing my options, I thought about allowing people to play roulette til the end of the season and have two separate winners - one for being the true champ, the other for being alive after week 17.

I'm ruling out an entirely fresh new game. I just don't have time to do another ~60 entries' worth anymore. nevermind, i'm a dumb baby and i can handle it. see a few posts down for new game info

Kicker Eliminator Champion

:stare: I, uh, I didn't see that Graham Gano missed an extra point this past week. That means that :siren: corn on the cop :siren: is this year's Kicker Eliminator Champion after six weeks of correct kick picking.

Silver and bronze to Nystral and Scruffy the janitor, who were eliminated in week 6 but made it to the top three players.

What the hell do we do now?

gently caress it, we're gonna play a brand new game.

Are we still playing roulette?

Yeah, but since we're starting fresh, you all get a new slate. The rules for roulette are updated and revised, so read 'em over once more.

-Pick a kicker and a distance you think that kicker will hit one from.
-If your kicker hits one that exact distance, it's a Kicker Jackpot and you are resurrected.
-Your kicker does NOT need to make the rest of their kicks for you to be resurrected.
-You may be resurrected infinitely if you continue to get eliminated and somehow hit more than one kicker jackpot

Let's do some more betting!

All the calm from your bones.

Do our lists get reset with the new game out of curiosity or are we still locked out?

Not that it matters much, I'm just lazy and will eventually forget who I picked already and want to avoid actually looking things up or keeping track of anything or actually doing anything than posting a name of a kicker who will miss a field goal every week.

So...we'll go with....
