Sitch Torneo de 2007
Ok, here's the sitch. We continue to post sitches for which points will be awarded. Question#1: do we continue to self-award, or do we create a point system, or do we leave it to the neutral dudes in Geneva? Potential new rule, inspired by Pollo: Award sitch points to average dudes who are able to predict sitches and/or outcome of sitches. Yes, this especially applies to other average dudes' sitches. Question #2: Again, how do we score?
I say we award 1,ooo sitch points to all posted sitches regardless, but those points can be lessoned or negated by another average dude with legitimate complaint. This complaint of course, can again be overturned by any other average dude with legitimate reason for overturning, which in turn can a be again overturned by any average dude, etc. etc.
Then we could automatically award 2,ooo sitch points to whomever predicts any outcome to any sitch, and yes any average dude can be awarded points for predicting the outcome of his own sitch. In the event of a tie, which will occur practically every time I predict, all average dudes with the correct prediction get the same amount of points.
Feel free to amend any of the aforementioned rules, as the torneo is still relatively in its infancy.
Let the games begin!

all sitches awarded 1000 points? initially i wanted to say that all sitches cannot be worth the same amount of points. but, then again, it gets a bit dicey when comparing and weighing suffering. and the built in checks and balances, that of giving all average dudes the power to contest a sitch and it's legitamcy if enough to keep dudes like Moco Joe from working the system.
sounds agreeable to me..will continue with feedback..
dudes, I was locked out of the blog for like 3 weeks because I forgot my user name and password until I remembered it. Now I think I am back in, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your perspective. Anyway, Pollo is right, it is hard to compare and weigh suffering, but since that is exactly what sitching is I say weigh and compare away. The more subjective the better, contentious and bitter in the end would be my preferred outcome.
I'll take a 1,000 sitches right off the top for knowing that what jjb998 is doing is called "viral" marketing and because I think we should all get 1,000 sitch points just for being alive, which is quite often sitchey and the cause of sitches to begin with.
Well... congrats to cuz ed for remembering his username and password all of a sudden after a three week hiatus. -1,000 sitch points.
I hear you guys about subjectivity. Maybe we could declare our own respective amount of sitch points per sitch, and then open it up for contention. It makes sense that we self-reward, since we're the only ones who can possibly know our own level of pain. But then contention would be pointless wouldn't it?
I'm starting to feel sitched, just trying to figure out the point system. Maybe we could just award sitch points for every post, but that brings it back to 1,000 automatic sitchpoints per post.
We may have to consult the dudes in Geneva on this one.
Oh, yeah, and do we allow Oso his -3,000,000 sitch points to carry over into this years tourney? If so, he doesn't stand a chance unless fishing becomes illegal.
All sitches are not equal. Points could be as little a 1(a slightly warm beer or in the millions(trying to kill yourself and failing).
Cuz Ed what have you been ingesting to forget you user name and password. Definitely some points there. Get yourself a notebook and write down all your names and pins. Loose the book an instant 5000 points.
Forgetting your real name.....priceless
you dudes bring up points well taken..
nobody complained last year with and it was self appointed sitches other than the 10000 for running outta beer.
as last year's champ, i would like to keep it fluid.
regarding oso's negative points...that is a tough call. that is like debating a handicapp in bowling.
On the -3000000 sitch points I would argue that they don't carry over into the new year like unresolved court sitches.
Here's a sitch that was witnessed out on the ice the other day(in wasn't mine eitheer!) First of all it might have been 10 degreeswith 15 mph wind giving you a windchill of -15 or so. It was fing cold. My buddy Pat noticed a large(say 18 inches in diameter) brown spot on the ice. Wondering what it was he went closer to investigate. Low and behold some ice fishing dude had shat on the ice. SHitting out in the open is bad enough but on the ice in that cold is nuts. Poor dude really must of had to go. How many sitch points for him? Extra points for diarrhea should be considered.
Fortunately due to the extreme cold it didn't smell.
Self appointed and varying sitch points it is.
Oso's regaling of the 18" diameter shit brought no sitch points to Oso, but I gaurantee if Pollo would have witnessed that, he'd have given himself at least 1,000.
very insightful of you ice. i would claim no sitch points for the fudgesicle...i submitted a similar sitch to y'all in the mail (via Ice).i will hold to my claim that my sitch was potentially more sitchy, and I only awarded myself about ten Sitch! points. key word is potential here. and, the only way to affect one's points when speaking of a hypothetical sitch is to successfully predict the outcome. that brings up an ish. Sitch! points awarded for the realization of a submitted prediction can be either negative or positive, like any other sitch, no...? depends on the sitch i suppose
2000 sitch points for zero bites the past couple of days icefishing. Cannot predict whether or not one will catch fish so predicting sitch points is a moot point
2000 points? oso, you seem hard up for Sitch! points. maybe if you dropped your guampa down the hole or something..no bites? i don't know. however, as last years Sitched! loser, you have good credibility. additionally how can I, as the Champ, even consider your sitch on my index of pain, suffering, and happiness. you get the points.
Yeah 2000 points might be a stretch. It is tough being the sitch loser day in and day out without sitch points. Ok we will call it 200 sitch points. I just got some new ice fishing fashion wear, no freezing your ass off sitch points for me. Problem is that Cuz Ed and Ice might want to apply for sitch points just being seen with me. Now how many sitch points does one get when you go to the store and buy all this cold weather shit and then throw in a tube of insect repellent(33% Deet). Remember dengue dudes bite during the day.
another question who are the dudes in Geneva and who died and made them the judges?
god died
and left me in charge, 5 sitch points.
i'm glad you dudes finally figured this sitch point shit out, I was beginning to wonder if I had made a mistake by keeping relatively silent on the matter. However, the way points seem to fluctuate wildly from positive to negative leaves me with the impression that to accumulate points modestly and a few at a time is just as effective at winning this torneo as, say, getting sued by your dead uncle's estate attorney or maybe collecting - 1,000,000 for claiming to have lost your friggin' mind (which is one of the things OSO no doubt misses the most).
The truth is that the greatest sitch is yet to come, and when it does there will be no trumped up abnormalities to haggle over but instead the clear-headed focus on the facts of the sitch in question.
Anyway, I give myself 10 sitch points for writing shit like this, which means that I have something like 1, 015 sitch points already.
"Steady as she goes," sez Cuzeddi
Oh yeah, and every sitch point entry should have somewhere in it a summary of the points earned to date, no?
The only way Cuzed and I could claim sitch points for being seen with Oso at the Upper Red Lake is if he wears his cape. Even then it would be a nonish by noon.
1515 sitch points so far (which would include 500 for having to listen to Iceman's pukey adventures yesterday). Though I claim another 1,000 for having to leave my house at inopportune times for each of the last 15 days so that bumble fucks can roam my kitchen and criticize my carpet as they ponder the greatest real estate steal of their lifetimes. However, if the bank takes the deal for me it'll be a steal as all of my graduate education will have been on HSBC. For waiting to know what the hell is going to happen with my house, another 1,000 sitch points. For having to pay rent again: 500.
Cumulative score for Cuzed: 4,015 sitch points.
Watch out for eddi!
