    2012 Bang or Bucks

    I want to start building the team list for the 2012 version of this game. Please let me know if you will be participating below.

    The major changes:

    This season will kick off with an entry draft you be able to select any of the existing cards in a 3 round draft. Each round will have a dollar value.

    1st Round: 50,000
    2nd Round:30,000
    3rd round: 20,000

    The major change is there will be no cap. Each team will begin the game with 200,000 so essentially when the auction portion of the game kicks off you'll have 3 cards already valued at 100,000 and 200,000 available. Anyone excepting bribes or circumventing our standard cap will be ineligible for the game. We want an equal playing field. If you decide to spend your ZB's on an avatar or a user title that's your prerogative but it will effect your ability to spend money in the game.

    After our draft concludes we will begin with the daily auctions again. Exact same rules as last year. PM me bids using the Name - Dollar Subject line.


    Free Agency: If you decide you no longer want a card and you can not find a suitable trading partner you can put your card up for auction. This time you manage the auction. You let me know you're selling a card. I'll post it for auction. The winner will pay you directly, So if you bought the card for 50,000 and it sold for 20,000 you're out 30,000. Which will mean something since everyone will have the same cap.

    There will be a stash of Free Agents to start the game these girls will be posted in quick Free Agent Flash auctions. So brief windows to cash in some of the value girls in the game.

    The cards will no longer have a dollar value on them making my life a little easier with your transactions. You will post the card in your signature as usual and type the value underneath. I will be keeping track so don't be a douche.

    Challenges: Lastly I really wanted to add a new feature to increase competition between you. This is totally optional. But if you want a chance to make a few extra bucks you can challenge another zoner. Each of you can put one of your cards head to head with a chance to win some cash. You don't have to do it, but it could help you get an edge. (Challenge Pricing Structure TBD)

    Any teams that decide to join after the draft will be given 250,000 to start with. They will not start with three cards.

    I think this covers everything. Please let me know if you plan on participating.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I'm in. Is the draft order going to be based on how we did this year (evaluations) or random?

      Re: 2012 Bang or Bucks

      Based on the results I think. The logical method would be to do it that way. But the scoring is all over the place right now, not sure where that's going to land.

            I'd like to participate, but I'm not able to get online much, if at all, on weekdays so I might be a drag on the draft.

              absolutely not. F'n Patriots fans.

                We would be starting in Jan by the way,.

                  Since only the cards that are currently out are eligible for auction, perhaps making your "preference list" would be a good idea? You could submit it to another player (or Bedard himself) beforehand to picks can be made for you, if you're unable to be online?

                    Re: 2012 Bang or Bucks

                    OK, here's the questions I have so far:

                    1. The "first three" cards are a total of $100k... So, everyone has $200k to work with AFTER those three cards ($300k total) I assume, since anyone joining afterward gets $250k

                    2. What about people that have more than $300k in zonebucks?

                    3. What if a card that goes to free agency sells for more than it's original value? Can the player selling the card then spend the excess? I assume no, but want to make sure.

                    4. Say I have a card that sold for $25k and make an "even up" trade for a card that sold for $30k... Does the $5k difference hit me?

                    5. Can Draft Picks be traded? For example, could I trade my first round pick for YardRat's 2nd & 3rd rounders (assuming he agrees, of course)?

                    6. I assume that we'll be able to request new pics to be used for any cards that are drafted?

                    7. Will the draft be Fixed or Serpentine style?

                    Just a bit confusing, since first you say there is "no cap," but later, you say "everyone will have the same cap." The way I'm understanding it, though, it's going to be the way Miyagi suggested, where you can spend your cash however you want, but once you hit $300k, you're done.

                    I'm most likley in, just wanted to get some things clarified, so there's no questions on them later.

                        I'm in too.

                        Just to be clear, there is no cap for the first 3 chicks, but after that, there is a standard 200,000 cap? The wording is kind of weird on that. just want to clarify.

                            Let me ellaborate.

                            There is no cap. But you will each start the game with the same amount of money. So those of you who have more than 200K will need to ditch your excess.

                            So by using the challenges feature you can bank whatever you need.
                            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                            "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                            You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                            It was all                             true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                            He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can                             mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                              2. What about people that have more than $300k in zonebucks? Everyone must agree to be on the level 200,000 playing field. Let's be honest there's a minimal use for ZB's outside of this game.

                              3. What if a card that goes to free agency sells for more than it's original value? Can the player selling the card then spend the excess? I assume no, but want to make sure. A Free Agent Card can not sell more than it's value. If you want to sell a card for a higher value it has to be done outside of Free Agency. Free Agency should be a last resort.

                              4. Say I have a card that sold for $25k and make an "even up" trade for a card that sold for $30k... Does the $5k difference hit me? No cap so have at it.

                              5. Can Draft Picks be traded? For example, could I trade my first round pick for YardRat's 2nd & 3rd rounders (assuming he agrees, of course)? No. But you can trade cards you drafted after the game begins.

                              6. I assume that we'll be able to request new pics to be used for any cards that are drafted? When you draft you girl do so with the picture you'd like. Don't PM me or send it later, I'm trying to reduce the amount of work on my end.

                              7. Will the draft be Fixed or Serpentine style? SErp.
