Break the Curse (The Nigate Game) Hatsu 2017

[Senkoho 552]

Thanks for the game, Sakura! I really enjoyed chasing you for the last couple of days, even though I didn't succeed. I'll definitely play again in two months! You might want to consider making the picks secret by using a survey site like Achiyama and myself do for TUG and SHG. This would make the game more exciting and more "pro" :)

Makes sense. What sites would you recommend? I just assumed that no one would be playing so I wouldn't need such a thing.

Achiyama uses SurveyMonkey. I used it for SHG, too, but the limitations of the free version forced me to go elsewhere (I needed to make a survey with more than 10 questions, which was not allowed).

This basho there have been some complaints about the site allegedly not accepting picks, but I believe that most (if not all) of those cases were caused simply by human errors from the players. I would recommend SurveyMonkey.

Hi Sakura,

I liked your game as well, and I am planning to play it again in March.

Senkoho introduced me to Survey Monkey (thanks Senkoho once again) and I pretty much explored it myself and adapted it to my game (TUG).

You can go to this website and click on "Sign-up free" to create your free account:

If you need help, I can help you with the design of the Entry Form and then every day you can use the same Entry Form and only edit the picks.

Best Regards,

Achiyama

I have the results for the Gino-sho (the highest number of unique rikishi to score points for that player).

Sakura is the winner in this category with 19 points. However, since she won the yusho I'm not sure if she's allowed the gino-sho. What is the etiquette in the sumo game world? 

If she cannot win it then it would go to the four runners up.

@Senkoho, @Tenshinhan, @Pandaazuma and @Gaijingai who all scored 18 unique rikishi. A lot of those picks were inspired and I'm tempted to award them the gin-sho anyway.

That's not a problem, even in Ozumo:

For the banzuke I'm using chishafuwaku's method of translating the points into W-L records.

This is not my method. Achiyama some time ago told me when he was thinking of a method to use in his game TUG.

Banzuke

Sakura (12-3)	S	Senkoho (12-3)
Tenshinhan (11-4)	K	Pandaazuma (10-5)
Gaijingai (9-6)	M1	Achiyama (9-6)
chishafuwaku (8-7)	M2	Shokikogi (8-7)
kuroimori (7-8)	M3	Ganzohnesushi (6-9)
shimodahito (4-11)	M4	Randomitsuki (0-15)
PhorCilic (0-15)	M5

In my humble opinion, first banzuke should only contain maegashiras. Then, as the game has more bashos, the promotions for Sanyaku will start. So Sakura are now M1e and so on...

I think starting with Sekiwake is fine. (Did the same with the first TTT banzuke.)

Thank you for letting me know it was Achiyama's method. Before the start of the game I debated how I was going to the banzuke. I just went with the rules of Ozumo (says nothing about there having to be Ozeki or Yokozuna, but there must be at least two Sekiwake and Komusubi).

You may want to hold off on making Tenshinhan and Pandaazuma san yaku as I heard they got drunk the other night and beat up a Colonel Sanders display at a KFC.
