Swamply Connect (PLAYOFFS and ASG ANNOUNCEMENT)

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed May 10, 2023 8:34 am

Game 27 - Team Cool tries to head into the playoffs on a high note while the Lords emerge from the Advanced Game Theory Lab with renewed confidence.

The Wall

One more regular season game to get on the schedule, then we'll do the playoffs, and then the ASG.

The top 4 seeds are now officially official. The Dumps get the 3 seed thanks to their 1-point win over the Basses and will play Team Cool, leaving the Basses to get the first crack at upending the RayJays

Ah, I though differential was tiebreak but head to head makes sense.

Same, one of my favorites. So many words were multiple red herrings. Had 3 categories right away, but couldn't guess the right combination until I unlocked the wordplay one and the rest fell into place.

For sure, and it wasn't until I saw the last category all together that I realized what their connection was.

Whoa and I forgot I gave that category to the Lords on accident.

Makes you wonder if a conspiracy is afoot. Betting on all Lords of Cum is off the board at the local sportsbook.

We still can't get the last regular season game scheduled, so I'm (temporarily?) skipping ahead to the playoffs in hopes of getting at least the semifinals done before my big trip in a couple weeks. Emails have gone out to:

1. RayJays vs. 4. Basses
2. Team Cool vs. 3. Soft Dumps

Also, the last game would/will not impact the final stats so congratulations to the following 6 players who will eventually be getting the call to play our 3-v-3 All-Star Game:

1. Cheddah
2. AB
3. GoodKarma
4. GPJ
5. BSF
6. Pruitt

Points in the first two rounds were assigned by who I thought was responsible for getting the right answer. Collaborative efforts split the points in half. Wall points were given in full to both members of a team. Missing Vowels points were straight-forward.

Full stats will be posted before the ASG.

OMG. A first team all-pro! Kinda! This will affect our cap status next year I'm sure.

Have to say I was surprised to see my name on the list.

I’m just happy to be here. Hope I can help the ballclub.

I thought my Ice Cube answer from last time might help me, but my stellar teammate carries me in the wall. Well deserved, AB.

Well, as you could all see, Graphic Content was tanking the season for the next draft. On a related note, I’m pretty sure I’ve earned an outright release.

How bad does JLo suck at this for the Lords to be 2-5 and GPJ make the all-star game?

GPJ answered five straight three pointers as the Lords lost to the Tungsten Arm O Doyle and the Akron Groomsmen 31-9.

I’ve never been confused for a center fielder but I have been the big weird first baseman. But I don’t think that differentiates us from one another per se.

I’ll go Gaetti. Forgot about some of the troublesome Puckett stories.

I don't know what these stories on but in fairness he probably couldn't see what he was doing.

To be fair I think he'd be better if I didn't have massive holes in my knowledge; often times he'll have an idea on the right track and I just can't guide it anywhere.

The Final Four kicked off last night with what I am told are called absolute scenes between the top-seeded RayJays and the supposed underdog 5PBs.

Here's the wall.

The 2nd semifinal hasn't been scheduled yet and I'm headed out west for a couple weeks, so we'll probably see you again in mid-July.

Supposed is right. 5PBs are legit and that was the game of the season thus far.
