yes that's very hot and i'll deal with it in the morning


Last week, on 1KYOB...

  • 1KYOB 2019 is off to a flying start with over a quarter of players busting last week - none more so than Okibi who was the unfortunate victim of Mahomes/Brady/Prescott all going HAM over the weekend
  • Deceptive is the highest scorer this week, coming in only five yards short of a perfect thou
  • No tokens were used - first week jitters? Didn't want to blow tokens too early in the season? Who knows. Let's see some token action!

Notes to players

The Big Dick Nick Number (BDN) has now been renamed to the God drat It Not Again What Are You Doing NFC How Could You Let This Happen So Many Times Number, or GDI for short. This is in line with 1KYOB tradition of recognizing (however regretfully) the current Super Bowl champions in the naming of the MNF number.


A terrible sight to behold...

Make sure you use GDI instead of BDN in your entries.

Entry formatting rules will be strictly applied. Entries should be formatted as per the below:

DEN - Peyton Manning - Passing Yards
MIN - Adrian Peterson - Rushing Yards
DET - Calvin Johnson - Receiving Yards
GDI#: PHI - Carson Wentz - Passing Yards (this is your GDI number)

If I find a problem with any entries I'll reply with the entry quoted and what was wrong with it. Entries can be corrected either by editing the original post before any players in the entry start their game, or by replying with an updated entry. If you edit the entry in-place, reply to the thread to let me know.

Any entries with invalid formatting that haven't been corrected before the first player listed starts their game will have all regular players replaced with Meat Starlord and the GDI# replaced with Sandwich Montoya, all with random team and yardage types. May the Levenshtein distance be ever in your favour...

Scores and Standings

Final scores from last week and overall standings so far are below.

How do I play 1000 Yards or Bust?

See this thread!

Tokens!

Tokens are back again this year. What's a token you ask? Good question:

Because 1KYOB is inherently a game about selecting offensive players, tokens were originally created to celebrate the superlative defenders of the NFL as well as introduce another strategic element to the game. The tokens apply to your GDI Number player and only your GDI Number player, but you can't cheat and edit them in if you're heading into Monday about to bust: if you haven't declared you're using a token before the first player on your list starts, you're SOL. Each token can only be used once per season unless otherwise noted.

To play a token please copy and paste the image as well as the name of the token after your GDI Number.

This year there are seven tokens, split into three different categories - Normal, Supplement, and Special. You can only use a max of one token per week from each category.

NORMAL TOKENS

THE MACK TOKEN




A running back's worst nightmare is to make a cut towards an inviting gap only to see Khalil Mack suddenly appear, arms wide in welcome embrace. Particularly so when Mack has crossed half the country and a whole conference to unexpectedly crush this naive NFC North rusher twice a season.

You may play the Mack Token when your GDI Number is a Running Back. If your GDI Number would bust your score, this token will zero out their score! Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

THE HAYWARD TOKEN



Casey Hayward is one of the premier CBs in the league, and after he has assimilated the life force of the rest of the Chargers' defense a la Jet Li in The One he will become unstoppable.

You may play the Hayward Token when your GDI Number is a Wide Receiver or a Tight End. If your GDI Number would bust your score, this token will zero out their score! Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

THE GHOST OF SAN DIEGO PAST TOKEN



Prior to his untimely death, Joey Bosa terrorized offensive lines and QBs coming off the edge. Becoming phantasmal can only improve his game, turning him from 'difficult to block' to 'impossible to handle unless you know five kids and a dog with a van'.

You may play the Ghost of San Diego Past Token when your GDI Number is a Quarterback. If your GDI Number would bust your score, this token will convert your QB entry to use Rushing instead of Passing yards, as the QB can think of nothing but fleeing for his life. If you are already using Rushing yards for your QB entry, this token will zero out their score as the QB remains rooted to the spot in fear. Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

SUPPLEMENT TOKENS

THE MERCURIAL GENIUS TOKEN




Note: see the bottom of this post for clarifications on this token.

Marcus Peters is an extremely talented CB who is prone to, uh, 'shifts' in mood that can affect his performance. One week he will smother a #1 wideout so thoroughly that the receiver forgets his own name, the next he's launching flags into the crowd and himself out of the stadium.

You may play the Mercurial Genius token alongside any of the above Normal tokens - it cannot be played by itself. The Normal token acts normally, and if you need it to avoid busting (or if you bust regardless), it will be consumed. However if you do not need the token to avoid busting, the Mercurial Genius token will return the Normal token back to you to be used again in a following week (i.e. it will refresh the token). The Mercurial Genius token itself can be played any number of times during the season, unless...

...your GDI Number blows up and exceeds the relevant yardage limit (Rushing: 100, Receiving: 100, Passing: 400). Then the Genius will get himself ejected for the rest of the season and your GDI Number will have a record game! Specifically, their yardage total will be set to the relevant all-time single-game record below:
Rushing: 296 yards (Adrian Peterson, Vikings vs San Diego, 2007)
Receiving: 336 yards (Willie 'Flipper' Anderson, Rams vs Saints, 1989)
Passing: 554 yards (Norm van Brocklin, Rams vs NY Yanks, 1951)

If this happens and you still don't bust (what kind of strange list are you running?!?) then the Normal token will still be returned. The Mercurial Genius token is always consumed after the Genius is ejected.

SPECIAL TOKENS

THE MONSTER COJONES TOKEN



A reminder of the most balls-out playcall I've seen in a Superbowl, and - as a Jets fan - a delightful way for the Patriots to be humbled on the biggest stage in American football. I'd like to take this opportunity to bring up that the Patriots also tried a similar play in the same game, showing us that sometimes it is ok to count out Touchdown Tom.

If you declare the Monster Cojones token during a given week, it gets you 50 bonus points for a top 10 score and 100 bonus points for the best score of the week, but if you finish outside the top 10 you get zero, so you better catch that pass! In addition, you can use the Monster Cojones token as much as you want if you keep getting the bonus, but if you use the Monster Cojones token and fail to make the top 10, you can't use it again for the entire rest of the season unless you hit a perfect thousand. Not for the faint at heart!

Have fun!

Maybe it's time to hang em up, buddy

TOKEN CLARIFICATIONS

I'll try to collate any token clarifications I make during each thread in this area.

Clarification 1: The Genius Token

The Genius token will return the Normal token if you don't need the Normal token to avoid busting. If you do need it (or bust anyway) the Normal token is consumed and not returned. The Genius token itself is always returned unless it gets ejected ie your GDI number exceeds the yardage limit.

For example:

Pre-Monday yardage total: 920
If Brate goes for 70: no bust, both Hayward and Genius tokens returned
If Brate goes for 100: Hayward token activated, Brate yardage becomes zero, Hayward token not returned, Genius token returned
If Brate goes for 120: Genius ejected, Brate yardage becomes 336, total yardage 1256, bust, Hayward token not returned, Genius token not returned

Pre-Monday yardage total: 600
Brate goes for 70: no bust or ejection, both tokens returned
Brate goes for 120: Genius ejected, Brate yardage becomes 336, total yardage 936, no bust, Hayward token returned, Genius token not returned

Clarification 2: Tiebreakers

Ties are broken as follows:
  • Whichever list has more players
  • If both entries have the same number of players - whichever list was entered first

Clarification 3: Using the same player more than once

You can use the same player more than once but you cannot use the same combination of player and yardage type more than once. So - to use Nick Foles as an example - you can list Nick Foles three times in one entry (for Passing, Rushing and Receiving yards) but you cannot list Nick Foles - Passing more than once. If you use a player more than once they have to be listed on separate lines for each yardage type you want to use:
pre:
PHI - Nick Foles - Passing Yards
PHI - Nick Foles - Rushing Yards

After calling for more token action, I have to put my money where my mouth is:

HOU - Deshaun Watson - Passing yards
BUF - Josh Allen - Passing yards
LAC - Philip Rivers - Passing yards

GDI#: CLE - Nick Chubb - Rushing yards

Too late to jump in? If no, then my entries are below. If yes, ignore this post.

Tokens used:

(N/A)

Not too late to jump in - however your GDI number needs to be someone who is playing on MNF (e.g. either from the Jets or the Browns this week).

Since it's your first offence I'll change your GDI to Sandwich Montoya from the Jets with Receiving as the yardage. Future entries will be discarded if they don't have a valid GDI number.

Are Odell Beckham Jr and Odell Beckham Jr. two different people according to the scrpit? What's the 'correct' way to indicate a suffix on a player's name?

The summary script uses the name as given in the entry, rather than the name of the player that the entry name maps to using fuzzy string matching. So Odell Beckham Jr and Odell Beckham JR. will show as different players in the MNF summary but for the purposes of figuring out yardage will map to the same player. I'll probably fix that in the next week.

lol. which one is wrong?

Trevor Siemian is the correct spelling but both names will map to the same player, similar to the above case.
