I think this standard predictions bulls**t is just as bad as the potential scenario you just gave Neil. But anyway, I also hope that the predictions given are actually from Amy otherwise it's unfair.

You are all curious and jealous w**kers.
Neil, I'm an extremely honest person with such things. Amy will give me her exact predictions, but we've agreed that some days she won't be able to make it and I'll put in standard ones according to a system.
She'll have deserved every point she gets, there's no problem, though you guys are making one.

Well I never really doubted it, it's just most people you can tell where they come from (i.e. mark posting for cate and julia for andrew and what not.

We are allowed to be friends outside MW you know
And besides, I reckon me and Dana have a close similiar relationship to what Mark/Cate and Julia/Andrew have, right chicken?

Why do you take things so negatively. I didn't say Dana wasn't your friend, I just meant that Cate and Mark live together, Julia and Andrew see each other and probably txt when no together. Dana isn't even in the UK, which I why I wondered if/how you were going to be in touch, as did other people. That's all.

I'd just hope Amy and Dana are honest people and Dana won't just put anything she feels like in on Amy's behalf.
To me this seems like you're insulting my judgement on people personalities. Dana is my friend and I trust her. It never came into my mind that Dana would double cross me. I don't see why I should have to give an explaination as to why I picked Dana to post of my behalf.
I don't understand why people are making a big deal of this. I say, Dana will post my predictions whilst I'm away. End off. Theres no rules stating I should have to give more detail than that. And I was only being courteous by telling you all in the first place.

Oh my god learn to read. I never said she would double cross you, I said that if you didn't get in touch, she might just post whatever she wanted on your behalf. Not pick stupid picks, but a second choice of picks by her, not standard ones.
Anyway, you are joining this discussion far to late, Dana already said she was honest about these things, and that's good enough for me.

Also I seem to mind you were one person who wanted to makes rules, yet you totally change your tune when it involves you. People were just asking simple questions and all it took was a relatively simple answer.

I.e. you were VERY quick to change from a "no change to rules" to a "change to rules" and since the result was "leave it as it is" you suddenly drop the support for changing rules, and like I said, it was a simple question. Also, more questions followed from Alex, Mark and myself, because you didn't give a clear answer, just saying "your predictions would be posted by dana" not saying how, if they were yours, or anything. AND you seemed unwilling to disclose methods of contact or method of predictions, it's hardly surprising people were/are suspcious of cheating going on. Do you see?

How the f**k can I cheat? Besides, I thought by saying Dana will
post
my predictions would be obivous that she would actually type the predictions into the thread as I could physically not do it myself. But obviously you, Mark and Alex didn't pick up on that.
And the whole me changing my tune thing? Where have you go that ^ idea from? I changed my mind because it was just so much easier than getting everyone to decide some new rules.

You said no change before it came up THEN mark convinced you to vote for new rules!
And by cheating we meant the following -
1) You don't get in touch with Dana
2) Dana says "must post amy's predictions
3) Dana posts (for example) Fed in 5 Nadal in 3 Djoko in 3 etc etc. NOT standard predictions and NOT your predictions. THAT IS WHY WE ASKED. Do you get it now? You are being slightly slow tonight. Try and read the FULL posts.

I refer to the following
Quote from: alc.aka.amyc on January 06, 2008, 07:49:49 PM
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
with the changing your mind when it comes to you. If you really meant the above post, you would EITHER says "I'm not here so I will lose
" OR you would give detailed answers to our questions and not make it seem HIGHLY suspcious that dana was posting for you, when you had no contact with her. Follow? It's nothing to do with trusting dana or you, it;s because of the way you answered all our queries about it.

What are you on? Mark didn't convince me. At the time I was thinking about possible rules in my own mind and thought "sod that can't be arsed with it" then changed my mind. So give that one a rest for a start.
Dana and I discussed possible ways of getting my predictions up and we finally came to an accord. We don't have to tell you anymore than that. Where does it say in the rules about "cheating" and getting other people to post for you? Nowhere!! So stop making up rules because you aren't RTR staff.
