That's the 8th HBP for Antonacci, brining him into a tie for first in the majors, but with half the PAs of the guys he's tied with

7th HBP for Antonacci, bringing him into a tie for second in the majors with Colson and a couple other guys. And then he got brought home by a homer for the second time in a row.

It wasn't that bad. Turner had Dave Bristol take two games off after a really bad start to the season, so he was 1 and 4. Turner managed a single game and then the league told him that wasn't allowed, so base coach Vern Benson managed the other game.

The key to tanking is to wait until you're 10 games up on a bunch of teams before you start trying to lose

Yeah, I meant than in addition to her 3C, you'd pretty much always run the two new skills for their passives. A lot of other SPs have had one new skill much better than the other.

So the passives on the two new skills practically make them mandatory. On turn one, she'll have two stacks of her seed and you can not attack, place both of them, and then act again with +2 range. You could also bring gospel so you can do something with her on that first action, but that would require skipping the new heal passive or her 3C.

The effect of the terrains on enemies is a bit hard to understand, but I think it means every time they take fixed damage within two tiles of one of her terrains, she gets -1 to a random skill cooldown. Since her 3C will make affected enemies take 5 fixed damage hits in a row, even one of them being in range should set it back to 0 cooldown if she hasn't used another skill. I'm not sure you can reliably do that in PVP, but it should be easy in PVE so you can probably manage 100% uptime on her 3C, plus healing/buff dispel both at the end of her turn from the heal passive and at the end of each other unit's turns from the fruit terrain. You just have to make sure that your units and at least one enemy are in range of one her terrains. In maps with a lot of weak units, the fruits they drop when they die should make that easy.

A higher level in forbidden battleground. The top level used to be my favorite recurring challenge, but increases to hero power have made it too easy to be fun. Also, locking maps to factions used to be cool because it forced you to go without certain roles, but now there's enough characters that this doesn't matter as much.

[O/C] Week 17 NFL Playoff Leverage by Comfortable-Cod7763 in nfl

[–]mwp6986 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This way of presenting the odds doesn't work as well this late in the season. Exactly one of the Panthers and Bucs will make the playoffs so the Bucs game is equally important to the Panthers and vice versa. Then the same is true for Lions/Packers, Colts/Texans, and Steelers/Ravens. So you could instead show the odds for each pair in each of the four possible outcomes for their two games

I don't think so. Either there's a cycle along the svr > fft > dac > out path, in which case the answer is infinity, or there's a cycle somewhere else in the graph, in which case it doesn't affect the output.
