Dana isn't even in the UK


That doesn't really matter though. Think

1) You don't get in touch with Dana


Even if she wouldn't, what's wrong with that? We worked out a system if we can't get in touch, that seems fair.

3) Dana posts (for example) Fed in 5 Nadal in 3 Djoko in 3 etc etc. NOT standard predictions and NOT your predictions.


Amy would find out when she came back if I did that. I don't get how that's cheating, I don't know how the scores will be in the end. lol

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 Frown " 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?  I was giving an example of a scenario you tit!  Considering the probably the biggest reason why people may not be able to post would be because they are away on holiday!!

Of course you were..... You voted "YES" to banning people posting for you. I already said that it was sorted, then you dragged this up again, because you don't know how to interpret a post!

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.


OMG, stop being so difficult! MY POINT WAS THIS, YOU SAID " DANA WILL POST MY PREDICTIONS" , SEVERAL PEOPLE THEN SAID "HOW?" and THEN YOU GAVE CRYPTIC ANSWERS WHICH MADE US DOUBT THE HONESTY OF YOUR PREDICTIONS PLANS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THAT IS ALL I WAS ON ABOUT.

IT's NOT ABOUT RULES IT'S JUST ABOUT BEING DECENT MORAL PEOPLE AND NOT CHEATING. OF COURSE CHEATING IS NOT IN THE RULES ARE YOUR EXPECTED TO PLAY BY THEM.

As for your "system" that sucks, because then it's not ACTUALLY your predictions and I'm sure others will agree.

I don't think you are allowed to post comments in full captials, breaking another rule :P Wink

And you don't know my system.

And I'm not cheating.

Neil... What's wrong with it? How come we are getting in so much trouble for trying to do the right thing, while others just use each others' accounts and post in each others' names (even though that IS actually cheating).

Anyway, we're doing it this way so Amy doesn't lose too many points, there's no discussion. If anybody thinks it's unfair they're being a bit hypocrite and they can kiss our asses. Wink

What, she's going to make the points? lol

Look, I already said several times, that all my worry (and others) was that it wouldn't actually be amy's predictions. Especially given she would be in canada. Other people who have posted predictions before have been in UK together, so phone calls or txts haven't cost much, or in the same room and just posted on the one account! If amy can't post her predictions someone shouldn't be able to do it FOR HER if they haven't been in touch. YOu see what I am getting at?

We decided, after the poll, that standard predictions were still allowed; though Mark said posting from one account wasn't. You don't have to worry about our finances, we'll work it out.

This is all a bunch of boo-hockey.

You had your chance guys but don't worry, next year I'll restart the poll and maybe you can redeem yourselves by voting to ban this.

But anyway, there shouldn't be an argument in this thread - Amy/Dana are actually doing the decent thing of telling us what will happen beforehand. I thought we all discussed that and nearly everyone said it was the right thing to do if it were not to be banned.
Until next year yawn

I'm not taking sides though, my opinion is that posting on behalf of someone is unfair to newbies and posting standard predictions is even more unfair but everyone does it and it's certainly not against the rules. Hell, I've even done it before, I just wish it was banned.

This bit I appreciate.  After this arguement I was kicking myself for saying anything at all.

It's funny that before we voted on the proposals this argument probably wouldn't have happened but now things are different Think
