Hard-Hitting 2017-2018 Parity Questions

Submitted by Alessandro Cola... on Tue, 2017-10-03 10:13

Forums:

There are only 34 days until Parity starts and there are so many questions still to answer.

1. Who is in the league this year?

2. Who are the GMs*?

3. Will I hit John Rowe in the coffee cup with an errant disc again?

4. How many items do you need on a list before you start numbering them?

5. Does Alex Bush even care about us anymore?

6. Is there anything Justine can't do?

7. What the hell is Keates doing?

8. Promoting gender equity and inclusiveness by throwing it away near everyone equally is only the first step, right?

9. Is this enough things?

10. Why can't I search access anything past the first page of this forum? What are they hiding? Who is manipulating the puppet strings?

11. What?

  

*That probably stands for Genetically Modifieds, right? Jessie, Owen, probably others.

> 1. Who is in the league this year?

We lucky few.

> 2. Who are the GMs*?

8 suckers for punishment.

> 3. Will I hit John Rowe in the coffee cup with an errant disc again?

Statistically improbable but given your history of beaning people in the face with disks/balls/gloves/hats/children's toys, I will not rule it out entirely.

> 4. How many items do you need on a list before you start numbering them?

Two, but convention suggests that unless there is a necessary order for your list, you use an un-ordered list of bullet points rather than an ordered list with numbers.

> 5. Does Alex Bush even care about us anymore?

A quote from the man, the myth, the Alex Bush:

"I should sign up for parity and just troll everyone. Get drafted early, never show up, say 'I'll be there next week' "

> 6. Is there anything Justine can't do?

Reach things on the top shelf without assistance.

> 7. What the hell is Keates doing?

Currently boiling a brine to make some pickled beans and carrots.

> 8. Promoting gender equity and inclusiveness by throwing it away near everyone equally is only the first step, right?

Aiming for the covered guy downfield who is busy crowding the lane for a striking (and open) woman, underthrowing it and missing them both is not gender equality, no.

> 9. Is this enough things?

It was enough things seven things ago.

> 10. Why can't I search access anything past the first page of this forum? What are they hiding? Who is manipulating the puppet strings?

PBCAK error.

> 11. What?

My name is?

12. What the f* happened to Geofford's podcast? It's the reason I'm not playing this year... out of protest... obviously.

13. Will someone finally step up to create a Parity Fantasy League? $20 buy-in, winner take all?

If there's serious interest, I'd be willing* to arrange some sort of NFL-style Parity fantasy game for Season 1 through my excellent use of excel.

To play fantasy parity. It might be worth more to me than actually playing!

Do you even care about me, Al?

Alex, I care enough to give you ~9% of my hilarious attention in the original post.

That's more than Stacey "Wowzers" Wowchuk, Matthew "Skynes" Sajjan, Sam "Best" Lee, Geofford "Seaborn" Reznor, Jaime "Who's The" Boss, and Angela "Angela" Mueller combined.

And that's even more than he gave Chris "Sullied" Sullivan, Amos "Aimless" Lee, Simon "Endzone" Berry or Jim "The Reach" Robinson.

"Force, Attack, Strike, Hope, Return, Revenge, Menace, and Last Jedi; bring balance to the league you will." (unlike the other dark night).

No Keates, those extra posts are for emphasis. When italics just aren't good enough...

sadly not for emphasis..

ya, I tried the delete button and it didn't work. :-(

I was going to post something about the Parity supervillian running off to another night to build the death star.. but ...

My money was on you posting something to the effect of 

""Force, Attack, Strike, Hope, Return, Revenge, Menace, and Last Jedi; bring balance to the league you will." (unlike the other dark night).

Just a guess though...

Sadly, we are missing #12 on your hard-hitting questions for Parity this year. There are no Lee's vying for "Best Lee" this year. No Sam, Amos, Mike, Andy or other. Unless you include Sully, but even he will tell you he's "Sul", his Dad is "Sully". And only one Alessando Col.  :(
