Prediction Problem

[Webbb Llama v1.5]

I'm not on a TWL or TWD squad right now, so it won't let me post a prediction on the TWL site. Is this a mistake, or can squadless people really not make predicitons?

Are you registered?

Webbb I believe you do have to be on a squad in order to predict. This isn't coming from experience... but it's coming from... well I've never seen a squadless person post a prediction on the TWL site.

ya that's what it looks like atm

if not there would be too many pred's to read imo

Look upper right on the website, use login to log in with your TWD account name, for instance Webbb etc. Just like you would login to TWD website. After that you should be able to post predictions. If not, I dont know.

Not to mention, that the predictions are virtually useless. We had this discussion last year, people simply like indicating who they WANT to win, as opposed to seriously choosing who they think might actually win. Then, of course, many of the predictions are biased since they are coming from a squad member who is involved in that particular game.

Basically I view the predictions as an opporuntity for people to set aside a special time to humiliate themselves in public.

Yeah ... keeping track of how well the predictors do would be awesome. And also some nice stats on predictions, like the avg margin predicted to differentiate the ppl who both pick the win/loss, but have diff margins for the win.

I still think people shouldn't be allowed to predict their own squad's games.

[HellzNo!]

agreed.

I think everybody over looks this and just likes predictions because they're simply fun to read

that's a shame, I cant join a squad until February, and I want to predict

mmhm

[lecherious young gun]

Yeah, I don't think any predicts are serious, I just think reading Mega Newbie predicting himself to go 0-10 last season was delightful. GOO predictions!
