I don't disagree...but we do have like, 4 different voted-on-awards where this can also be rewarded. The bonus points for predicting are typically to encourage people to predict. I'm not sure rewarding "IMma gonna winna y'all!" will get more people predicting. Perhaps the opposite? "If he gets points for writing gibberish, why should I predict, I never win anyway, so ill just write gibberish"? as i said... i dont care. I do. You said your fighters would win, that's 10 predictions of a possible 15 fights, ignoring the other fighters. People got like 7 right of a possible 17, you shouldn't be snubbed for saying you would win. If we're handing out free points to everyone that just popped on and predicted and disappeared, you deserve a free point as well for actively participating in that, even if your predictions weren't formal.

I'll agree with that, but I don't want to set a precedent for that.

even if your predictions weren't formal. Formal predictions are what we are going for here. Austin has complained to me literally tirelessly about predictions. Either predictions matter enough that members have shit fits about them when someone does them a certain way, or they don't and we can reward people for posting random gibberish. It's pretty shitty to have to listen to someone complain about one member getting points for the way he predicted all season, just to then be told another member, who did not write a single fighter's name down for his predictions, DOES deserve points...

And this is why its tempting to give you the point - you aren't complaining (as others would), you aren't trying to scam shitty prediction wins (like others would), etc. But certain members definitely have problems when I make exceptions to precedent. So maybe you should talk to said members so I can bend the rules more often
