Alternate Reality Game 1: Chiefs - Page 18

**Rain Man** · 11:30 AM

The original post is below in blue, but let's summarize it here based on the past few years.

1. If you're a new player, start with the current Chiefs roster. If you've been playing for a while you'll have your own evolved roster.

2. You can add any free agent that the Chiefs add.

3. You lose any free agent that the Chiefs lose, but only if they were on the Chiefs' roster when you began playing.

4. You can accept or reject any trade the Chiefs make as long as any Chiefs player involved is currently on your roster.

5. You do not get players that the Chiefs draft. You draft your own players, using the same draft picks that the Chiefs have.

6. You can trade down ONE time before the draft or after the draft. If you trade down before the draft, you get up to full value for your pick according to this chart: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-V...-Rich-Hill.asp. (Note: this chart was updated in 2022.) If you trade down after the draft, the value of the picks you trade must be discounted by at least 25 percent. Any trade down must involve only the picks of one NFL team, and you cannot receive more than two picks more than you give up. (In other words, if you trade away one draft pick you cannot pick up more than three in return.) The other team's picks also must be picks that they held prior to the opening of the draft. See the examples at the bottom of the post.

7. By the beginning of the season, you must reduce your total roster to include only 53 players.

Original post: You can ignore this now.

Spoiler!

Okay, having tested the waters I think we've got enough interest in this. There will be two other games as well that I'll announce soon.

The concept of this game is to, over a series of years, see which Chiefsplanet members are best at building a team. We can have an unlimited number of players, and this game will take very little time on your part - just a little bit of time and some voting.

Here's how the game will work.

Step 1. First, you have to locate your team in a city. It cannot be in a city that has an existing NFL team, so you must pick from the following cities, which are the largest cities that don't have an NFL team, but ensuring that there's at least one city in every state. If we have more than 100 players I'll add to this list. (List deleted for brevity. If you start playing, just pick a city.)

Step 2. Once the NFL draft is complete on April 26, owners will select players who were available with each Chiefs selection (i.e., do their own draft) and add these people to their roster. If the Chiefs make any draft day trades, the player may choose to accept or reject the trade and act accordingly.

Step 3. After training camp, each owner selects 40 (Edited up from 35) Chiefs players who are "their" players who will make up their roster. The remaining 13 positions will be filled by a generic "scrub".

Step 4. At the end of the season, the person will provide an overview of who started at each position over the course of the year, providing the number of starts at each position by each player. Edit: the rules for doing so are discussed in Post 285.

Step 5. At the end of the season, we will have a Survivor-style vote among the general Chiefsplanet population to determine who had the best team that year, including impacts of injuries and other issues.

Step 6. In Year 2 (and beyond), the player starts with his/her core of 40 players, adds new players through the draft, and can then pick another core of players from the following pool: their 40-player core, new drafted players, and any new free agent that joins the Chiefs

If the Chiefs make a trade that includes draft picks, each owner can choose to accept or reject that trade on their own team. If the Chiefs make a trade involving a player on the Chiefs roster, the owner can accept that trade ONLY if his/her own roster includes that player.

There will be no trades between owners, and no implications of the salary cap.

I realize that in the first season we'll have a lot of players with similar rosters, but they'll diverge over time and that's where it'll get interesting.

So...if you're interested in playing, claim your city and name your team.

Added Rules and Reminders:

1. Remember that you can draft undrafted rookies, so you don't have to select only guys who were drafted.

2. Anyone can change their rookie draft selections at any time, UNTIL we reach ten days before training camp. At that point, all picks will be locked in.

3. Each team can do ONE trade of draft picks if they like, using this chart:http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...t-trade-chart/. However, if you're trading up, you have to pay 15 percent more than the stated value of the picks you're obtaining. If you're trading down, your pick's value will be discounted by 25 percent.

For example, if you want to trade up from the 20th pick in the 1st to the 10th pick, you can see from the chart that the 20th pick is worth 259 points. The 10th pick is normally 369 points, but by paying 15 percent more, it will cost you 1.15*369, or 424 points. So you would need to come up with another 165 points to make the deal (424-259)

For example, if you want to trade down from the 20th pick in the 1st and pick up the 10th pick in the 2nd, your 20th pick would normally be worth 259 points, but in this game it will be worth 25 percent less, or 194 points. The 10th pick in the 2nd is worth 142 points, so you can get 52 points back from the other team. (Remember that you cannot pick up more than two extra picks in the trade, so consider your math carefully.)

You can do only ONE draft-pick trade up and ONE draft-pick trade down, and in each case you can only trade with one other team for their own picks. (In other words, you couldn't take the 52 points in the above example from a third team.)

**Rain Man** · 09-07-2010, 12:03 AM

My review of how I've diverged from the real Chiefs.

Positions where I'm better than the real Chiefs:

QB - I've invested heavily in young QBs, and it looks like Sanchez is paying off as my starter. Clausen will hopefully develop behind him.

HB - Charles and Spiller? I've got a strong RB corp, and Spiller will split out occasionally to help my weak WR corps.

TE - Tony G. What can I say?

DT - I've added Dorsey back to this group and switched to a 4-3, which is a better use of our talent. Otherwise the same.

Areas where I'm about the same as the real Chiefs:

WR - I don't have McCluster, but Spiller will do the same thing. Otherwise a wash.

T - I think Barry Richardson has potential, but so does Alex Boone. The real Chiefs might be a little ahead of me, but I have two developmental prospects. It looks like the Raiders may be lining Campbell up at guard, though.

C - I don't have Niswanger, but I kept Wade Smith. I think I'm a little better, but it's not a big difference.

P - Colquitt. Why mess with perfection?

CB - Probably a wash overall. Two good starters and it goes downhill from there.

OLB - Hard to judge this since I'm moving Hali back to DE in a 4-3 alignment. Maualaga and Studebaker will start for me, with Dekoda Watson backing them up. I think I'm okay.

DE - I'm moving Dorsey back to DT, but I like my DEs. I've got Hali and Gilberry on the right side to rush the passer, and Pryor and Carrington on the left side to stuff the run. I think eventually my group will prevail. Pryor can drop inside to DT occasionally, too.

Areas where I'm weaker than the real Chiefs:

G - I didn't draft Asamoah and drafted Duke Robinson, who is now on injured reserve for the year. I made the tough decision to hold him for a year to see if he comes through.

K - It's really hurt me that I didn't draft Succop last year, so I'm still running with a scrub kicker.

S - I drafted Kendrick Lewis, and got Reshard Jones to be my strong safety. (The Dolphins have moved him to free safety, but I have to leave him at SS.) Of course, I drafted Spiller over Berry, so I don't have Berry.

ILB - I've got DJ and Demorrio, but no depth right now.

Since I'm moving people, I'll note my front seven against the real Chiefs' front seven.

Them: Hali, Vrabel, Belcher, Johnson, Jackson, Dorsey, Edwards.
Me: Maualaga, Studebaker, Johnson, Hali, Pryor, Dorsey, Edwards.

I think I like my group better.

I think we're still working our way up to 53, and this year we're at 43. I propose this just so we have to cut some "real" Chiefs and make some decisions there. Or do you think we're okay to go to 53?

**Rain Man** · 09-07-2010, 11:14 AM

Did we have an IR or developmental roster last year? I don't recall. I'd lean against it, probably, since we'd all have the same players right now.

No, 43 is good. I just had a memory lapse.

Yeah, we don't need it.

Yeah, so far it looks like you had your priorities set better than I did in that department. Of course, I'll take the normal GM cop-out and claim you can't judge a draft until 5 years after I'm gone.

**wazu** · 01-17-2011, 10:43 PM

Okay, it's getting to be "Step 4" time again.

**Rain Man** · 01-18-2011, 06:44 PM

Yep, I'll be working on mine. I'm hoping you're right in that the wisdom of my picks will emerge in another year or two. I'm kind of taking a beating right now.

I have a question about Step 4. The rules say that the number of starts you assign to each player can't exceed that player's actual number of starts. Does that mean that I have to assign starts to "scrub" at ILB even if I have players like Sean Lee or Demorrio Williams who played in several games but who didn't start in a game all season? If so, here is my lineup. I had lots of tough situations on my offensive line this season so I moved Brian Waters to both OT and C and still had to start 2 scrubs on the offensive line almost every week. Ugg.

Good question. Let's say that you can start a backup, but you'll need to record them as follows:

Actual NFL starts (your starts)

So if you're starting a guy for three games who didn't have any NFL starts, you would denote him as 0 (3). That'll let us know that you're pressing a backup into a starting role, but it's better than starting a scrub.

Teams As Of Post #113: Alaska (Anchorage) Watchmen (cdcox) Austin [name to be determined] (Hound333) Billings Snake Filets (KCChiefsman) Cheyenne Buckshot Cheneys (banyon) Des Moines [yet to be named] (Hoover) Duluth Normans (Rain Man) El Paso The Courvoisier (DeezNutz) Fargo Rape (SNR) Fort Wayne Dancers (Chiefs=Good) Fresno Refugees (Adam) Harrisburg Beer Farts (Otter) Hartford Manticores (Crush) Honolulu Craters (Sully) Knoxville Nukes (Patteeu) Las Vegas Hitmen (Bowser) Little Rock Reapers (doomy3) Los Angeles Cobras (chiefscafan) Madison Beers (Spicy McHaggis) Memphis Jackals (Ultra Peanut) Oklahoma City Boom (Sanka) Omaha Streakers (speak24) Orlando Beakers (ChiefsCountry) Reno Sheriff Department (MWagg72) San Antonio Scorpions (truebigdog) Scranton Paper Packers (bdeg) Sioux Falls Slackers (pestilenceaf23) Spokane [yet to be named] (Mr. Flopnuts) Springfield (Missouri) Cashew Chickens (H5N1) Wichita [yet to be named] (jwazzie) Winston-Salem Warlocks (ArrowheadHawk) Worcester Sauce (unothadeal) Added Rules and Reminders: 1. Remember that you can draft undrafted rookies, so you don't have to select only guys who were drafted. 2. Anyone can change their rookie draft selections at any time, UNTIL we reach ten days before training camp. At that point, all picks will be locked in. 3. Each team can do ONE trade of draft picks if they like, using this chart:http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...t-trade-chart/. However, if you're trading up, you have to pay 15 percent more than the stated value of the picks you're obtaining. If you're trading down, your pick's value will be discounted by 25 percent. For example, if you want to trade up from the 20th pick in the 1st to the 10th pick, you can see from the chart that the 20th pick is worth 259 points. The 10th pick is normally 369 points, but by paying 15 percent more, it will cost you 1.15369, or 424 points. So you would need to come up with another 165 points to make the deal (424-259) For example, if you want to trade down from the 20th pick in the 1st and pick up the 10th pick in the 2nd, your 20th pick would normally be worth 259 points, but in this game it will be worth 25 percent less, or 194 points. The 10th pick in the 2nd is worth 142 points, so you can get 52 points back from the other team. (Remember that you cannot pick up more than two extra picks in the trade, so consider your math carefully.) You can do only ONE draft-pick trade up and ONE draft-pick trade down, and in each case you can only trade with one other team for their own picks. (In other words, you couldn't take the 52 points in the above example from a third team.) Last edited by Rain Man; 04-25-2024 at 11:30 AM..*

Rain Man Seize life. Be an ermine. Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: My house Casino cash: $1318491 VARSITY	My review of how I've diverged from the real Chiefs. Positions where I'm better than the real Chiefs: QB - I've invested heavily in young QBs, and it looks like Sanchez is paying off as my starter. Clausen will hopefully develop behind him. HB - Charles and Spiller? I've got a strong RB corp, and Spiller will split out occasionally to help my weak WR corps. TE - Tony G. What can I say? DT - I've added Dorsey back to this group and switched to a 4-3, which is a better use of our talent. Otherwise the same. Areas where I'm about the same as the real Chiefs: WR - I don't have McCluster, but Spiller will do the same thing. Otherwise a wash. T - I think Barry Richardson has potential, but so does Alex Boone. The real Chiefs might be a little ahead of me, but I have two developmental prospects. It looks like the Raiders may be lining Campbell up at guard, though. C - I don't have Niswanger, but I kept Wade Smith. I think I'm a little better, but it's not a big difference. P - Colquitt. Why mess with perfection? CB - Probably a wash overall. Two good starters and it goes downhill from there. OLB - Hard to judge this since I'm moving Hali back to DE in a 4-3 alignment. Maualaga and Studebaker will start for me, with Dekoda Watson backing them up. I think I'm okay. DE - I'm moving Dorsey back to DT, but I like my DEs. I've got Hali and Gilberry on the right side to rush the passer, and Pryor and Carrington on the left side to stuff the run. I think eventually my group will prevail. Pryor can drop inside to DT occasionally, too. Areas where I'm weaker than the real Chiefs: G - I didn't draft Asamoah and drafted Duke Robinson, who is now on injured reserve for the year. I made the tough decision to hold him for a year to see if he comes through. K - It's really hurt me that I didn't draft Succop last year, so I'm still running with a scrub kicker. S - I drafted Kendrick Lewis, and got Reshard Jones to be my strong safety. (The Dolphins have moved him to free safety, but I have to leave him at SS.) Of course, I drafted Spiller over Berry, so I don't have Berry. ILB - I've got DJ and Demorrio, but no depth right now. Since I'm moving people, I'll note my front seven against the real Chiefs' front seven. Them: Hali, Vrabel, Belcher, Johnson, Jackson, Dorsey, Edwards. Me: Maualaga, Studebaker, Johnson, Hali, Pryor, Dorsey, Edwards. I think I like my group better. __________________ Active fan of the greatest team in NFL history.

I propose this just so we have to cut some "real" Chiefs and make some decisions there. Or do you think we're okay to go to 53? __________________ Active fan of the greatest team in NFL history.

I'd lean against it, probably, since we'd all have the same players right now. __________________ Active fan of the greatest team in NFL history.

I'm hoping you're right in that the wisdom of my picks will emerge in another year or two. I'm kind of taking a beating right now. __________________ Active fan of the greatest team in NFL history.

patteeu The 23rd Pillar Join Date: Sep 2002 Casino cash: $10019237	I have a question about Step 4. The rules say that the number of starts you assign to each player can't exceed that player's actual number of starts. Does that mean that I have to assign starts to "scrub" at ILB even if I have players like Sean Lee or Demorrio Williams who played in several games but who didn't start in a game all season? If so, here is my lineup. I had lots of tough situations on my offensive line this season so I moved Brian Waters to both OT and C and still had to start 2 scrubs on the offensive line almost every week. Ugg. QB Matt Cassel - 15 Brodie Croyle - 1 RB Jamaal Charles - 6 Thomas Jones - 10 Jackie Battle FB Tim Castille - 4 WR Dwayne Bowe - 16 Chris Chambers - 7 Dexter McCluster - 7 Scrub - 16 David Reed (Ravens) Jeremy Horne TE Leonard Pope - 6 Scrub - 8 Brad Cottam T Branden Albert - 15 Ryan O'Callaghan - 1 Brian Waters - 2 Scrub - 14 G Ryan Lilja - 15 Kraig Urbik (Bills) - 2 Jon Asamoah - 1 Scrub - 14 C Brian Waters - 14 Rudy Niswanger Matt Tennant (Saints) K Ryan Succop - 16 P Dustin Colquitt - 16 FS Jarrad Page (Patriots) Kendrick Lewis - 10 Brandon Carr - 6 SS Eric Berry - 16 CB Brandon Flowers - 15 Brandon Carr - 10 Alterraun Verner (Titans) - 7 OLB Tamba Hali - 16 Mike Vrabel - 16 Andy Studebaker ILB Derrick Johnson - 16 Scrub - 16 Demorrio Williams Corey Mays Sean Lee (Cowboys) DE Tyson Jackson - 3 Glenn Dorsey - 16 Wallace Gilberry - 2 Shaun Smith - 10 Scrub - 1 DT Ron Edwards - 15 Scrub - 1 Tank Tyler (Panthers) Anthony Toribio __________________ “Boy, you all want power.

Rain Man Seize life. Be an ermine. Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: My house Casino cash: $1318491 VARSITY	Good question. Let's say that you can start a backup, but you'll need to record them as follows: Actual NFL starts (your starts) So if you're starting a guy for three games who didn't have any NFL starts, you would denote him as 0 (3). That'll let us know that you're pressing a backup into a starting role, but it's better than starting a scrub. __________________ Active fan of the greatest team in NFL history.
