Fantasy Congress in Economist
So, we here at Fantasy Congress generally receive two publications that we read from cover to cover (or at least is our obligatory bathroom reading)- Wired magazine and the Economist. Although we haven’t reached the annals of Wired, we were mentioned in the Economist! Here’s what they said (yes, the rest of the article has nothing to do with us…):
AS MANY as 18m American adults play fantasy sports leagues. Movie buffs play Fantasy Mogul and anyone who thinks politics is not already surreal enough can play Fantasy Congress.
Congrats to our friends over at Fantasy Moguls too for their mention in the Economist!
So, how about putting something on the blog (or on the FC homepage) that explains the scoring mess at Fantasy Congress, since you guys are apparently refusing to answer your emails anymore.
What happened?
Why did it happen?
Will it get fixed?
When?
Will it happen again?
You guys are squandering all the goodwill that you created by setting this all up in the first place.
I was excited to see Fantasy Congress when I first heard about it, and was really excited when I saw you develop the educational component.
But now you’ve just basically spat in our faces by ignoring our inquiries… and our students (for those of us that had an FC grade component) are left in the lurch.
If it isn’t going to be fixed, then just say so. That’ll earn you back some goodwill points. People can forgive a technical glitch if you own up to it. But to leave this thing lingering out there and leaving people in the dark is just slowly letting it bleed to death with no chance of recovery.
