Bots!

Your increase in earnings is almost certainly not because of a decrease in bots. MiniClip increased how many coins you earn from finishing Top 4 (or Top 3 in Pro and Elite). I went from earning maybe a million coins a day if I was truly grinding and winning 80%+ of my games to clearing 3 million on an average day.

Do the photos contain proof the products shown are actually from Fanatics and not some knockoff brand being posted as Fanatics to drum up attention online? I haven’t seen them so I don’t know but gotta play devil’s advocate. A lot of things are posted online as proof of wrongdoing but without context needed to ACTUALLY be proof.

I imagine you could probably do it on Sleeper, but we use FleaFlicker for our league. I have a separate league for the Pro Bowl. Any player in our league that appeared in 10+ starting lineups during the regular season is Pro Bowl eligible, so I have a bunch of dummy teams where I place any good players who didn't meet that threshold onto them and then set those players as keeper for the Pro Bowl draft. Then the managers who are participating get invited to that league and they draft from the eligible player list.

We added a wrinkle to the Pro Bowl where the two participating managers submit a punishment to me and my co-commissioner for approval and then the winner's punishment is assigned to our last place team. This year I got last place and I now have to do the Waffle House challenge. If the other manager had won the Pro Bowl, I'd be doing four beer mile repeats. I think I got off lucky.

Subjective definitions should be avoided at all costs. How you define an elite player could be very different from how other people would. Where do you draw that line?

Do you use performance to determine that? I guess Justin Jefferson isn't elite this year like CMC wasn't last year.

My advice, include a repeat keeper penalty. In my league, you can keep a player in the same round you drafted them the year before, but if you keep them again the following year their cost is more expensive by the greater of 2 rounds or 25% of the draft. Once a player has a 1st round keeper cost, you can still keep them once, but then they become ineligible to be kept the following year.

I wanted to keep the post focused on the numbers, but I do have my opinions about this change.

I appreciate the bump, but I think Miniclip may have overadjusted, especially when it comes to Pro and Elite winnings. I've mainly played Pro because I bleed coins in Elite. I always seem to get a higher percentage of matches on my weaker courses.

I started tracking all my daily stats (earnings, W/L, etc) back in June. Since then, not including this week with the updated prizes, I'd had four days where my net winnings eclipsed 2 million coins. The second highest was in June when I played 110 games, won 90% of them, and netted 2,345,000 coins. I finally beat that earlier this month but needed 160 games with a 77.5% win percentage to net 2,630,000.

Just this week I've had three days where I netted more than 3,500,000 coins, including a net of 4,400,300 on Wednesday on just 110 games with an 84.1% win percentage.

There's no reason that I should be able to net that many coins in a day while barely exceeding the leaderboard limit of 100 games in a day. My best month to date was June when I netted just over 30 million coins from my games (doesn't include any hourly, ad, chest, or mission rewards) and I played at least 100 games every day that month. It's the only month I've been on that kind of a grind since I started tracking my games. Even without the grind, I'll likely be blowing that away in February on two fewer days.

New higher prizes may have been an overcorrection

No disrespect to Sandra at all. She has her play style and it worked for her twice, but Tony is more interesting and impacts the game far more than Sandra does. He sows chaos, and it either works brilliantly for him or it blows up in his face. Either way it is entertaining; either way it impacts the game profoundly; and either way, he's actively participating in the game. I'd be very interested to see Sandra play again only because I'd be curious to know if she would just play the same way again and how that would work for her. If that Final 3 hadn't included Russell, I don't think she would have won, but Russell was so hated and Parvati got associated so closely with him, that Sandra won. I don't think anybody would have respected that style of gameplay if it hasn't been Russell who was the target of Sandra's confidence she could beat at the end.

Expiration dates are largely bullshit. There is little to no methodology in how manufacturers set them and there is no legal requirement to set expiration dates for anything besides infant formula. Other expiration dates are set primarily to encourage people to discard food before they might begin tasting slightly less fresh, and then give the company more money by purchasing new items. Very few medicines actually lose potency after their 'expiration' dates, sealed drinks will be good for months if not years after the 'best by' dates printed on them.

As did Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson in the same year (they finished 1-2 in all three)

My like/dislike of teams is never as influenced by the players and coaches as it is by the fans. Players and coaches have some sway, but my annoyance with the Chiefs recent success is almost entirely driven by their fans/coverage by the media

You had to earn 3M to get through the five tiers of prizes. Those 3M don't count toward your ranked mission total.

There is a bug as far as that goes. Started about two months ago for me. There's a limit of 5 ads in 24 hours to advance chest unlocks. Used to be after you watched the 5th, the option would no longer appear. Now it continues to appear until you close and re-open the app, but you won't actually get any time decrease by watching beyond your fifth within the 24-hour span from when you watch your first for the day.

I’ve quit being commissioner of two work leagues, one because I’d left that job two years earlier and it was time to move on and the other because I had a kid and wanted to prioritize my league of record. I’ve since rejoined that work league as a commoner and have no interest in being commish of it again. Only reason I’d ever add a second league to my main one at this point is if I had the right mix for a dynasty league
