Alternate Reality Game 1: Chiefs
 

The original post is below in blue, but let's summarize it here based on the past few years.

1. If you're a new player, start with the current Chiefs roster. If you've been playing for a while you'll have your own evolved roster.

2. You can add any free agent that the Chiefs add.

3. You lose any free agent that the Chiefs lose, but only if they were on the Chiefs' roster when you began playing.

4. You can accept or reject any trade the Chiefs make as long as any Chiefs player involved is currently on your roster.

5. You do not get players that the Chiefs draft. You draft your own players, using the same draft picks that the Chiefs have.

6. You can trade down ONE time before the draft or after the draft. If you trade down before the draft, you get up to full value for your pick according to this chart: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-V...-Rich-Hill.asp. (Note: this chart was updated in 2022.) If you trade down after the draft, the value of the picks you trade must be discounted by at least 25 percent. Any trade down must involve only the picks of one NFL team, and you cannot receive more than two picks more than you give up. (In other words, if you trade away one draft pick you cannot pick up more than three in return.) The other team's picks also must be picks that they held prior to the opening of the draft. See the examples at the bottom of the post.

The other team's picks also must be picks that they held prior to the opening of the draft.

7. By the beginning of the season, you must reduce your total roster to include only 53 players.



Original post: You can ignore this now.



Added Rules and Reminders:

1. Remember that you can draft undrafted rookies, so you don't have to select only guys who were drafted.

2. Anyone can change their rookie draft selections at any time, UNTIL we reach ten days before training camp. At that point, all picks will be locked in.

3. Each team can do ONE trade of draft picks if they like, using this chart:http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...t-trade-chart/. However, if you're trading up, you have to pay 15 percent more than the stated value of the picks you're obtaining. If you're trading down, your pick's value will be discounted by 25 percent.

For example, if you want to trade up from the 20th pick in the 1st to the 10th pick, you can see from the chart that the 20th pick is worth 259 points. The 10th pick is normally 369 points, but by paying 15 percent more, it will cost you 1.15*369, or 424 points. So you would need to come up with another 165 points to make the deal (424-259)

For example, if you want to trade down from the 20th pick in the 1st and pick up the 10th pick in the 2nd, your 20th pick would normally be worth 259 points, but in this game it will be worth 25 percent less, or 194 points. The 10th pick in the 2nd is worth 142 points, so you can get 52 points back from the other team. (Remember that you cannot pick up more than two extra picks in the trade, so consider your math carefully.)

You can do only ONE draft-pick trade up and ONE draft-pick trade down, and in each case you can only trade with one other team for their own picks. (In other words, you couldn't take the 52 points in the above example from a third team.)

Chiefsplanet is way too lazy for this to work.

Scranton Paper Salesmen and Saleswomen

We don't discriminate here. I don't see gender.

I will claim the city of Duluth, and my team will be the Duluth Normans (borrowing a page from the Vikings' handbook).


(I should have been the Lansing Knights. That has a cool ring to it.)

The Worcester Sauce

I bet you said the same thing to the Wright brothers when they invented the in-flight movie, and the Mexican druglords when they presented their plan to control northern Mexico.

I shall claim the city of Hartford and the franchise will be the Hartford Manticores.


A brief preview of my team's mascot:

The Fort Wayne Dancers... Yer we have dancers at Fort Wayne.

This. They wanted me to take part in the draft poole this year, but I've spent more time watching QB film this year than I ever wanted to, and that was taxing enough.

If however we started a Top Twenty overall "Bust Poole" for immediate starters to their respective teams that was accounted for at the end of the season, I'd ride THAT gravy train all the way to millions in casino cash.

Bank It!( and I would )

ROFL "Come on down to the stadium boys and girls, receive a free mini helmet, and meet our mascot "Splicy", the genetically spliced Manticore"!

Memphis Jackals

hell2daYES

HELL YEAH!( most people don't know Memphis was an Egyptian City )

I claim the Reno Sheriff Department

Winner. If it gets 'em off the air and on to a football field instead, I'll bank roll your team.

Harrisburg, PA Beer Farts

Aspen Ass Pirates

Wichita Wankers.

Tulsa Turd Whackers.

The Oklahoma City 'Who Gives A ****'?

The Vail Gloryholers, featuring your head coach; FailAss! LMAO

Some of us actually work our asses off to make a living...

Nothing you would understand from the perspective of your parent's basement.

This will be my team image. I've tried to light many farts without success. All I did was blow out the match or lighter. I know it can be done however, my old frat brother Yak burt off his dinkleberrys and I was there to smell the aftermath.

Burnt hair and fart gas is not a pretty smell. If your out there Yak, this ones for you.

EDIT: Notice how Yak was a wallet guy (the right pocket) I warned him how this may develop into back problems to no avail.

Count me in...
 

My team will be called:

One question Rainman -

In Step #3, am I allowed to keep players the Chiefs drafted, even if I didn't pick them myself? For instance - say I draft Matt Stafford, but the Chiefs actually draft Aaron Curry, do I get to keep Aaron Curry this year?

(I'm assuming no, but didn't see this spelled out.)

Here's a suggestion:

Syracuse Banana

GO DANGLES!

I'll be the Knoxville Nukes. Our home stadium, The Silo, will be just outside of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Changing team name to........




Drum roll please......

It's kind of like a company basketball team, but they kick ass and stomp fools. Darryl Philbin should fit right in in the NFL, just read he got 3 felonies after getting stopped with meth and x while high on coke and bud. It's true.

I thought about going with the Scranton Paper-Packers, and may still switch to that. Obviously the original name-length was a joke.

The Honolulu craters

Alaska (Anchorage) Watchmen

The Cheyenne Buckshot Cheneys is my team.

Out of curiosity, banyon, what was the name of your team going to be?

I saw this last night and couldn't decide between several cities/teams. I got up this morning and most that I were considering, including the Worcester Sauce, were taken.

CD:

Syracuse Banana. You know it's awesome.

Winston-Salem Warlocks

I'm not getting it. But I'm dense sometimes.

Los Angeles Dodgers of Anaheim?

It was going to be the Anchorage Helicopter Wolf Snipers. :)

Syracuse already has the Orange, so why not the Banana.

http://j.photos.cx/doggiehi5-87c.jpg

Their long history includes a stint known as the Bananamen.

The Courvoisier. My team hails from El Paso.

El Paso The Courvoisier.

The NFL should totally move and rebrand teams, because these names rule.

Flying Dutchmen, anyone?

ya know, **** it. I'm laying claim to the springfield (missouri) cashew chickens.

If I took Springfield, I was debating between your name and the Springfield Gathering.

Nice. I toyed with that theme, but couldn't come up with a snappy one or two word team name (which I prefer) for that idea. Also toyed with "Bridge to Nowhere".

I told you that I am dense.

Got my team helmet:

Damn, now I can't decide!

I may conform and go with:



Drum roll......

Very nice! Did you photoshop that or was there something online that you used?

Damn, I havent even played fantasy football yet. I need to get with it.

We have 16 franchises so far. Room for more, especially in the underserved Florida and Texas markets.

Hopefully someone steps in and becomes the Flint Tropics and the Louisville Sluggers

Having realized that there are KU and K-State grads out there who will no doubt confuse our stadium with a grain storage facility if we continue to call it The Silo, the Knoxville Nukes have decided to rename our stadium The Metropolitan Income-generating Recreational Venue, aka The MIRV.

This just in, at a press conference in the Sheriff Department's facilities in Reno, Lieutenant Jim Dangle was named the new Head Coach and a lesser announcement was made when Terry was named Directer of Cheerleading Personnel. I'm not any good with photoshop or I'd make a logo, get over it.

The Las Vegas Hitmen

Yougottaproblemwiththatfriend?

I'll be the Little Rock Reapers

Okay, I will participate. This sounds fun.

I choose the city of Billings, Montana.

Team name: SNAKE FILET'S

LOGO:

It was a lousy attempt with MS paint.

Oh. Well I meant to say it sucked, then.

I'm so breaking out Photoshop after work tomorrow and placing the fart lighting attempt on there. You sir, are a trailblazer.

Ok I'll take los angeles

The Los Angeles Cobras

Purple Cobras? *clap* *clap* SSSSSSSS

Couldn't do the knee thing

Sure purple cobras though I'm kind of confused how this works?

Basically it's as if you take over as GM for the Chiefs. Draft who you want and put who you want(out of who is available) on your roster then keep it going. Then I guess there will be some kind of elimination process to narrow it down to who the planet believes built the best roster.

You added Oxnard, but you didn't add Compton.

:harumph::harumph:

ROFL That's exactly what I was thinking.

Actually after the old arena team I love the symbol I
If I figure how to post it I will.

lol I did just watch it today, so it was in my head already.

I find it somewhat fitting that Stiller excels more in "Douchiest Douche" than any other kind of comedy.

WHAT?!?! You didn't like Something about Mary and Meet the Parents? ROFL

He makes a pretty good dumb clumsy victim, too. Ex. Meet the Parents

Honestly, in the world of comedy, the man can do it all.

I had a girlfriend who made me watch it. Suffice it to say, a man will sometimes endure many things for some quality romp-time.

I got NO beef with De Niro; he can make even the biggest pile of shit watchable.

He's as versatile as "Blue Steel"

Look at these two hot chickens.
Finkel wants some dinkle. Give it to me.
Come on. Do it.
Lay it on, right here. Do it. Do it.

San Antonio Scorpions

Sioux Falls Slackers

Omaha streakers

Um where did rainman go?

He's putting all of this on a really, really big spreadsheet.
