I'm currently mauling my fantasy football league this week (of course, run by my brother), despite having a 0-2-0 W/L/T. Could've done even better had I played the Jets instead of the Patriots for my defense however. Easily quadruple my defense score. No matter, I should breach the triple digits anyhow even without an optimal lineup (though opt would've been close to 150 pts. with my league's rules. Oh well, I finally win a week so far.
Furthermore, I may be addicted to Minecraft. I just made my starting mine a mini-home with a functional garden and everything, decorated with a temple, and a farm up top. And I nearly cleared out a whole mountainside to improve security, mine for stone/ore, and make pinning any mobs easier to pick off from a safer spot with an escape route. So far, everything's working out well enough, I crafted a few boxes of TNT. Seeing as I feel safer at Starter, and am gathering some surplus materials, I should be able to handle Greater no problem, with a side-project of a lighthouse (initially torches, but should soon be replaced with magma).
EDIT:
Considering I already increased my score by half of what was predicted, and pretty much won for the week, I think I'm going to be given the "biggest surprise" award for the week. I didn't expect to win as well as I did this week.
Oh, and here's some pics of my Minecraft game:
(Facing from entrance) Bedroom is through the left door (Uppity Suite), In front is Straightway Shop, and to the right are the Downer Mines (2 levels (min. 64 tiles) deep)
The doors might be replaced with iron ones instead, reason for the levers. But I may reserve those for GM.
However, other doors, especially the farmland and front door have pressure plates behind them, manually open front, auto-closes, and upon exit, auto-open-close.
Above the second torch left-center is the Great Mine stairway/path.
UPDATE:
Fantasy team breached 100 pts. YAY! C'mon Jets, net me some more points. (Actually, seeing as I don't have the team assigned :facepalm:, I'm rooting for Ricky Williams to get me more than the 1 point that made me breach 100.)
UPDATE:
9 MORE POINTS!!!
Just bragging from now on. NFL Fantasy Football score for the week so far:
Me: 110pts.
(Optimum: 130pts.)
My opponent: 74pts. (Optimum: 86pts.)
I win with a 34 point lead ahead the 2nd highest rank. Could've been 54 points had I assigned the right guys.
Oh, and I take back what I said about the Jets defense. Looks like the score dropped to -1 what I assigned scored.
(and I take THAT back. Now they're +2 from my assigned DEF.
)
