Hi guys,

We're inviting you to come try out our latest creation, Finishers MMA Game.

finishersgame.com

Finishers is a new way to play MMA fantasy based on the knockout and submission abilities of fighters. The site is currently in closed beta, by invitation only.

We want you to be the first to try it out. If you're interested, reply to this thread and we'll send you an invite code to enter. UFC Fight Night 63 this Saturday is the first event open for play.

Gregory, Skelliher and I spent the past few months with an abacus, a protractor and crayons crafting a great way to play MMA fantasy online. Some of our mods are already members. It doesn't replace any Tapology features, and feel free to discuss it here on the forums. We really hope you like it.

Please note: our invite codes will go to the Tapology email listed on your account. If your email's a fugazi you won't get the invite and we won't know it. See you inside!

@skelli , I've done that as we'll. there are a few fights that I'm sure will be finished, but I just don't know who will be the finisher, pre se

We've been playing this for a few cards now and from personal experience I can say it's been nothing less than uber-fun.

Took me the first week to actually grasp the difference doing well at finishers and picking fights a-la Tapology and I've already won once (may very well be my last win now that a ****load of beasts will be joining, but I'm pretty sure the chat will come to life with more participants).


EDIT:: Oh, and one last thing, if you're as dumb as me and see you're picking right and not getting points it's because you're "standing" on the wrong team (you have the teams in the game in the top-left box and need to be on yours to see your progress in the "game field"). When you click on a game your team isn't the default (maybe that should be changed) one, you stand on the first team that joined (game creator) and need to click on yours.

@michigan, when picking both fighters in a bout make sure to post the one you think is more likely to be the finisher higher up on the list, that matters.

Yes, on your 9-fighter squad you put the one you think is most likely to finish in 1st position, and then down the list with your least valuable finisher in the 9th position.

I often agonize over where to put a pair of sloppy heavyweights that are fighting each other. But I'll often go for broke and put both up high in two good positions.

I usually bet on one of them and put the other as a low placed safety so's not to waste a high spot on a 100% loser.

Probs why Greg has won more times than me ;)

Agreed with Yoss about the minor problem of your team not displaying as the default. 

I think you guys are going to enjoy the live chat feature.

I've run some fantasy mma leagues over the last 5 years (actually what brought me here) and one thing I learned is you need to give your players a reason to show up each week. Setting a roster once a month or just once is no good. Looks like you guys nailed this one from what I can tell.


Send me the code.

@yoss @skell this is now fixed for the next deploy. a game will select your team for display when you arrive on the page, if you have a team in the game. if you have more than one team in the game it will pick one of them to display. the next deploy may or may not happen before saturday's show.

Time is winding down for the first beta event, if there's any lurkers out there.

I've played @fantasy's game, it was well organized but the issue i had with it was that the fighters on my team weren't necessarily going to be a part of upcoming events, so it didn't hold my attention after a while.

I am extremely angry...

How come my default team name 'The Moose Knuckles' is not showing up in my joined comps?  I thought long and hard about that name (pun intended).
