OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

A few people saw their bonus points drop, as there were only 17 new unique picks out of the 30 added.

Slak, in particular, saw 2 points shaved off of his formerly unique Liz Taylor pick.

You sons of bitches.

It might be a spreadsheet bitch, but I don't think on time peoples should be penalized
for late peoples stealing their picks.

I'm think Google Docs has paste special. If so, and if we're all done with new entrants, just save a copy of the new sheet, remove the new entrants from one of them, and then hard code the bonuses for all the on-time entrants on to the new copy w/ paste special->values. It doesn't need to be dynamic beyond doing the one lookup to check on the person's status and awarding bonus points.

I'm drunk. Does that make any sense?

I'm think Google Docs has eating paste special.

Screw that. Poaching picks is ungentlemanly. I suggest that the late duplicates be replaced by fiat with random living picks from whomever had the worst record last year.

I hear the complaints, and I'm considering them.

Does everyone else agree?

(FWIW, I don't think "paste values" is necessary in this context, as I don't believe you're able to paste formulas between different documents on Google anyways.)

I'm proud to see Pre picked up my Horatio Sanz torch.  I rooted for that turd for two years before moving on to Artie Lang.

Would it be easier to replace Salinger with my wild card pick?

How about those of us that submitted duplicate picks have to come up with unique replacement picks that accrue no bonuses for being unique?
