No, there isn't going to be a thread where the organisers have to do the predictions for the member - like you say, that's just more work for them. You need to ask a personal friend to do it.

Well I think if someone posts in the This week thread that they are on holiday and would like standard predictions done, someone will post them,.... I mean, I;ve done it before when people have been away and not asked me personally.... I was just first to post them

I didn't mean that.  I meant if someone posted something like "Look, I'm going on holiday for a week so I would like standard predictions" in whatever thread.  So either the mods take thing into account or somebody could offer to post it.

Or just basically, if you aren't here to post your own predictions tough sh*t.  Theres more to life than playing RTR

Its the much easier option

I don't like the fact that regulars generally will have an advantage over newbies but I also hate the idea of mods having to deal with more work/responsibility of putting in standard predictions for someone who goes on holiday

So tough sh*t for me as well

Yes you would have won and yes it wouldn't really be fair because the fact is, you wouldn't make those standard predictions if you were actually there.

Why do the MODS have to do it? Just someone has to post standard predictions for each person who's away. How many people are actually going to be on holiday in one tournament that play anyway? It's hardly any work. Hell I'll do all the standard predictions if you want. Including keeping track of who has had however many.

Nah it keeps it more interesting if everyone plays for themselves.
There are probably going to be weeks in everyone's RTR year that they can't play...
Also, it seems to be the same kind of people always at the top and it gives other people a chance to catch up!
