Rule 5 Pool

Post by nerfHerder » Mon Dec 05, 2016 11:31 am

Does everyone else have a crazy short Rule 5 pool in game? I have 11 players to choose from.

Isn't the Rule V just for expansion teams this season?

I checked all of that. I'll double check when I get home.

I can't help but think of Al Hoot over this whole Rule "V" debate.

Huh, I thought the Rule 5 was for expansions teams only, too. I guess I'll make a list tonight.

That was mentioned early on in the expansion process, but was dropped.

He either didn't like using a Roman numeral or preferred it. I can't remember which. It was barely top 10 on his all-time hits.

I've always preferred Rule 1+3+1, myself.

Or, given today's climate, Rule 2+3+7. It's all the same, right? Just pronounce it "five" and it works.

He was a Rule 5 guy instead of Rule V.

I may secretly be Hoot, because it pains me to see Jeff refer to it as Rule V. It is Rule 5.
