Showerthought RE: Raymond Lindsey / Sarmad Khan voting
#1

I'm going full meme Patrick : "Why not take the in-thread bets, and put them on the TPE gain?"

Okay, so the SMJHL introduced a TPE associated with voting for the Raymond Lindsey trophy, which is the player-voted MVP trophy for our Junior league. That's cool and dandy, but I'd like that in the big show too, eh? So I started thinking, literally as I was gurgling cold water this morning - shouldn't we also make it so that there's a financial stake in that voting, too? So that players would be even more warmed up to the idea of voting (confidentially, of course..!) for the player they feel is most deserving of the MVP Award.

So we have the in-thread "auctioning" whereas the first person in the thread that says the winner's name gets 1 M$. Until then, we're cool. We can still do that - it's a really innovative way of keeping people interested in the Awards Ceremony while being written still. One of the only remnants, it seems, of our lives before Youtube and Twitch... Not that I know much of that time, I'm an S50 Reddit drafter. Wink

But what I'm saying is give players an option to "buy in" to their pick. So let's say I voted for the Khan / Lindsey, but I'm really certain my players are gonna win. So I have a checkbox, at the bottom of the voting ballot, that says "Buy in to this pick for 500k$?". My curiosity is piqued, and my interest renewed in the fact that I am really the ultimate CHAD of SHL predictions. The adrenaline courses your veins. Of course you're gonna click that stupid checkbox, aren't you?

I mean, I don't participate in the Casino, but I know how you folks work... Wink

500k$ a head? At around 200 voters, with a projected retention rate of 50%, that's a juicy 50 mil, right there, but maybe a bit less. You proceed with a "half-and-half" lottery like we have in Canadian ice hockey rinks when we're trying to raise money for the community rink, among the people who picked the winner. You win, the player wins, the Casino giggles and wins, you spent 500k$ (A +3 TPE training) for a little rush, everybody's happy.

Eh?

Cold in the morning because the heat is unbearable, and it wakes you up as a bonus (system shock yay), and hot at night to relax your muscles and ease you into your night of sleep, only water though - washing too much gets rid of your natural musks... Do you even shower, bro? :eyes: Wink
