Seems like it! Like last year bids will be processed over the weekend, but after Thursday the identities of the games being bid on become public to make things more fair for people who aren't paying attention to every new game announcement. I'll also make a post ITT about each week's new bids to let everyone know what is on the table.

I got Counter Picked by @Lelouch0612 for FFXVI

Not surprised, I’ve been reading install Base for a bit And I’m actually leaning that it probably won’t make it to 2022 lol. but if it does, It’ll do very well critically.

Agreed, it is just that the absence of news in 2021 (when it was promised for Summer) and the GeForce leak pointing toward a Q1 2023 release made me want to take the risk ;)

Nope, I'm only in the first league as VengefulMagus.

Yeah, I'm just gonna set them to auto draft. If they have a Fami account then they named their fantasy critic account something else and it's just gonna slow things down if we can't figure out who they are.

@Terraforce , your turn.

I had to look up "counterpick" mechanics hahah.

Very gutsy @Abzeronow!
I can see the play, ie the hype is too strong to live up to. But, its mainline Zelda!

Not so gutsy ... Pokemon Arceus mwahahah

Cuz gamefreak, amirite?!

@Heruderu i choose u 👉
 
Your turn @Plato.
Damn, it was a difficult choice. Can we change picks and counterpicks later on? I’m new to this xD

Counterpicks cannot be changed. But you should be able to drop one unreleased game if you get cold feet. And you get one more drop after that if one of your games is delayed to 2023.
 
@pinkpunk is up next.
A lot of these picks are really hard to make good counterpicks against, so have fun with that.

"I'm pulling for FFXVI to be Sony's 2022 holiday game, so we can't have God of War release next year, can we?" ~my actual counterpick thought process. This is gonna be a trainwreck.

@shoptroll , it's your turn.

I was really tempted to go with Stanley Parable if only because it'd be hilarious if they delayed it again after 3 years of near radio silence. But I'm willing to be proven wrong by Starfield.

Over to you @Terraforce

I was more thinking of perhaps it being delayed to 2023 to launch with Dane, but I love the Zelda series, and if I go down, it might as well be mainline Zelda.

If I drop a game do things move up a slot? I went a bit heavy on the bidding and my dance card is full now

I’ve got an ineligible game sitting in my flex slot from all my bidding
Click to expand...
Oh

The flex slot is weird, not entirely sure how it works. I bid on two games for the flex slot assuming that one bid wouldn't go through but it did go through so I removed it myself. To make things simple I can just use my league manager secret powers to remove every game that you don't want if you'd like. The punishment for both our mistakes is that we have less money for future bids.

No worries. I figured out how to move things around and then put in a drop request for one of the games. Should be all set now.
 
Made a small change to the rules of the first league. You can now fill your flex slot with a regular release if you so choose.

I already have "New Fire Emblem Game" on my list, do I need to bid on the remake specifically? 😭
