Welcome one and all to a game I hope we can all play right here on Nightly.
No need to go to different sports sites and go through all the sign-up and registration hassles.
Anyone can join this game: Sign up here. I'm going to play along too. But in the interest of fairness, I will not take a turn until another NN user does. If you want to join, please make your intention to do so clear right here. When you do, please also pick one (1) current NFL player that will be assigned for free to your team.
NetFreak: Free?? You mean this game'll cost me money, Prim?? Prim: No, no. We'll play with virtual dough. And we'll be using dollars as our monetary unit. NetFreak: Why so Prim?? I hate those nations! Prim: Now now - NN is based in a country where the dollar is used as the currency. NetFreak: Oh, okay. *SIGH* Carry on, Primmster. Prim: Sigh?? SighSnootles?? NetFreak: What? Prim: Uh, never mind.
I had originally planned to make a Baseball game based on Monopoly and that is still in the works but I felt I had to get this one going because it is slightly different and also because of the fact that the NFL season is right around the corner.
When you join and give the name of one (1) current NFL player, please also give a number between 2 and 12 that will represent your roll of the dice. I will roll me own dice here that I keep handy - in the interest of fairness, when it's my turn.
Like, Monopoly, I've scribbled a little game board on paper and the spaces on the board are filled with: -Current NFL players -Retired NFL players -A Go To Jail space -Free Parking Spaces -Pick a WTF card spaces and -A Go space
If you land on a current NFL player, you may purchase him from the bank. I will tell you the cost.
If you land on a Retired NFL player, you may purchase him from the bank. I will tell you the cost. Retired players, as you might see, will generally cost more, but their rent will be higher too.
If another NN player lands on a space on the board owned by you, they have to pay you rent.
The Rent:
The starting rent of a NFL player is the same as the purchase price. I will determine the purchase price for each NFL player. The rent will increase based on a players performance each NFL week during the season.
NetFreak: Example. Prim: Well, Kansas City Chiefs Running Back Priest Holmes is listed in the game at $103. If you land on him, you can buy him. It will cost you that much. If a NN player lands on him later on in the game, he has to pay you that much. NetFreak: You said his rent might increase. How?? Prim: Here is the scoring formula:
NetFreak: An interception is minus five?? Ouch! Prim: Yes. Now, let's stay with the example of Priest Holmes. Say in week one, he does the following: 23 rush attempts 91 yards 2 receptions 25 yards Based on the scoring grid I just showed you, he'll get: 4 (from the rush att.) + 3 (rush yds.) + 2 (rec.) + 1 (rec. yds.) and that = 10. Yes?? NetFreak: Ok ...... Prim: His starting value plus what he did in week one is now at 113. So if a NN player lands on P. Holmes after week one and you owned him, you get 113. NetFreak: Sounds good.
Current NFL Players:
I will gladly keep score.
Retired NFL Players:
... do not go up (or down) in value very often if at all.
Go To Jail:
If you land on this space, you cannot collect rent the next time someone lands on a space owned by you.
NetFreak: Prim: But you don't lose your next turn or anything. NetFreak: Still
Free Parking Space:
If you land here, you get paid $50.
NetFreak: Yay.
WTF cards:
There are spaces on the virtual game board called 'Pick a WTF card' - if you land on one of these, I'll pick one of the cards I've made for thee. In the interest of fairness, I'll just go right down the list I've prepared.
NetFreak: Prepared? Prim:
quote:I've scribbled a little game on paper
NetFreak: Paper? We use e-mails and Word Perfect and all this junk now.
Note: If you get a WTF card that says 'Pay Parking Fine of ...... ' or 'Pay Speeding Ticket', you do not have to pay if you ever landed on a Free Parking Space. We'll keep count of how many Free Parking Spaces you landed on - each one can be used to counter one such WTF card.
Go space:
Collect $300.
Gameplay:
Lack of traffic:
You are not allowed to take consecutive turns - if no one else has posted, you must wait one (1) day, NN time, before taking another turn, that may turn out to be consecutive.
Missed games:
If a NFL player misses a game, for whatever reason (bye weeks included), 10 points will be deducted from his total.
NetFreak: WTF? Prim: I explained those cards already.
Note: Each player coming into the game will be given $2500 in virtual moolah. The object of the game is to have the most money at the end of the game, which is at the end of the regular season.
NetFreak: What are the prizes?? Prim:
Note: A player can go into negative scoring and can continue to play until the end of the regular season.
NetFreak: What are the prizes?? Prim:
I will be the banker. Don't worry, it will not rupture.
Special Notes: The Tight Ends in the game are few and far between (just like in the real NFL! ) and they each will have a purchase of price of only $25.
NetFreak: What are the prizes?? Prim: The admiration and respect of all. NetFreak: Pfft. Take that to the bank. Prim: It's my game, dammit!
may i also suggest that there be a minimum amount of rolling. people will be tempted to just sit back and collect money if things get to pricey on the board.
And you have preliminary right to LaDanian Tomlinson. His opening price is exactly $100. But it was your one free pick. If ( ) and when the game gets going, any player landing on the Tomlinson spot on the board will owe you 100.
We don't have to wait until the regular season starts to start playing.
Now that someone has 'gone', I pick Travis Henry.

CARSON, Calif. -- San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson left practice on a cart Wednesday for the second time in less than a week, this time because of bruised left heel.
Toward the end of practice, Tomlinson took a handoff and had his body twisted while his feet remained planted. Tomlinson believes someone accidentally kicked his heel as the play came to an end.
"I got a bruised heel, Achilles' ... something,'' said Tomlinson, the NFL's second-leading rusher last year. "It's always something, and it's frustrating.''
Last week, Tomlinson became dehydrated and overheated during a hot and humid morning practice. He was treated for several hours and was OK.
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said he doesn't think Tomlinson's injury is serious.
Schottenheimer and Tomlinson said they weren't aware of plans to have X-rays or an MRI.
"We're going to see if it calms down,'' Tomlinson said. "It doesn't seem like it is too bad.''
But it was bad enough that Tomlinson pulled himself from practice -- something he seldom does.
"I was limping back and I knew I felt pain,'' he said. "So I was done after that.''
Wide receiver David Boston's practice was also derailed by a sore heel. Boston said he didn't anticipate being out long.
The Chargers will practice once Thursday, then break camp and return to San Diego for a practice Friday. They play at Houston on Saturday night.

They will be taking turns. Like I picked a player first, so I'll give a number to roll on the virtual dice first. Then, you'll go. Then, Sweetness, and finally Stallion. So far we only have these four players ......

*PankerPrim, uh, BakerPrim hands over dough to Sweetness*
Sweetness: Let go, Primbud.
*primbud doesn't let go of cash in hand*
Sweetness: LET GO, PRIMBUD!!
*primbud lets go*
Prim: Sorry, force of habit. Now, pick a # to roll the dice.
Your $2500 virtual cash lord nazgul, and please pick a #.
Your $2500 virtual cash moderator Jason Solo. Please pick a Free current NFL Player, and a #. I was tempted to give you an extra $10 in playing money because you moderate out board here. But due to fear of beatdowns, I neglected to do so.
Your $2500 virtual cash Stallion. Thanx for the #. Picked a player? I'm sure Coy Wire will do fine in the real league.
Your $2500 virtual cash Primbud.
Prim: Don't mind if I do. **snatch** ... I'll roll a six.
