FS17 Slackers – Were First at the Worst

[scorchedearth]

In true slacker form, there was only one member who appeared at the happy hour and that was me. Plus, I didn’t ride a bike there so I think that I represented our team fairly.

Wrong! I slacked my way to the happy hour as well. In slacker form, I left early.

On the leaderboard this morning, I was 253rd from the top position, prompting a couple of questions:

• What color jersey do I get?
• How can that be when the competition was limited to 250? Did I “overslack”?

Let me do the math for you.

By definition, slackers (while inexplicably on the leaderboard) are not in the competition, and therefore do not count against the limit. At 22 teams with 11 members each, we have 242 competitors.

And at least 11 slackers.

I think the slackers team will not be on the leaderboard this year. But slackers (the individuals) will show up on individual leaderboards. At least that is the current plan. As slackers team does not qualify for any team awards and was not assigned using any rules/algorithms, it doesn’t make much sense to show them on that leaderboard, IMO.

The Rubber Chicken contest is on!!!

Whoever posts the most trainer miles gets one of these:

You know you want it. I know you do. This is a much better prize than a boring golden nugget.

We do have a bit of a data collection problem with this prize, as we don’t actually store trainer rides at all … We could hopefully work out something by competition end , but just to be clear that it’s not something we can answer from the current data.

Not asking the data gods to go out of their way. At the end of the day we can self report – and Eric can decide which one of us is lying.

The Slacker Team does qualify for team pointless prizes. Slacker team only means that the members of the slacker team do not want to participate in the points / miles competition. Otherwise, let the rubber chickens begin!!!

Sure, that’s fair.

I love the rubber chicken.

My brother and I used to have one we used as a prop in high school. When.we were evacuated from Haiti when US invaded we had the chicken strategically in one of our duffel bags with its head sticking out of the zipper. Border control in the Dominican Republic was remarkably unmoved by this.

I do wonder what the poor Chinese assembly line workers think when they make yellow rubber chickens all day long. They must think westerners have really, really weird tastes in toys and/or furnishings. Or are really, really kinky….

RCannon,

Couldn’t we just create another Strava team for those that are participating in the Rubber Chicken contest? We could call the Team “The Rubber Chickens” or something.

This is hilarious…both the rubber chicken contest and the look on the chicken’s face…err..beak.

No actually we don’t mind participating in the points per mile part, we just aren’t going to put it above everything else.
