Albert Pujols "Sand Lot Batting Practice"

OSN has been doing several things for fun all over the internet. The most popular thing we have been doing is having a lot of fun for months in the OSN Arcade. I thought I’d highlight the top 10 most popular games in the arcade out of the 100+ we currently have in there. As always, it is 100% free to play the games. It is pretty competitive in there, with people constantly trying to outdo each other’s high scores!

We have it all in there, from Mario Brothers, to Donkey Kong, to Solitaire, Tetris, you name it. And as the requests for games come in, our OSN programmers are on it! There is a new game added with each new SOI that hits the market, as well as games being added and named after famous people in the OneSeason Nation community. Even Mike Sroka has his own game. Slap the IPO Monkey!

1. The first one, displayed above, is far and away a “home run” with OSN Members. It has been played over 5,000 times so far! We’ve named it “Albert Pujols’ Sand Lot” With 2 versions of this game (batting practice and career mode), Pounder (or lbs0219 to those who don’t know him) has shown dominance in both versions. This game is wildly fun, and my favorite is hearing the little kid say “god dammit” when he swings and misses. A fun game for sure!

Bejeweled Blitz

2. The #2 game will be number 1 eventually, and it is known all over the internet as being one of the most famous, and addictive games out there. OSN members have been battling each other non stop for the crown in this game. We’ve named it “Quizrox’s Bejeweled Blitz” after OSN legend Quzrox, who has an affinity for dominating in these type of gem break/match games. Oh, by the way, Sdog from AllSportsTalkRadio.com is the current champion. This game has been played over 4,000 times so far.

Adrian Peterson Archery

3. The #3 game, which has been played 3975 times at the time of this writing is Adrian Peterson Archery. It is a quick fun game of timing. We already have a perfect scores in this game, so you’ll have to see if you can equal the greatness achieved by Pounder. Perfect score is 60. Sdog has 59.

Rylin34's "Blast Billiards"

4. The game at #4 is a personal favorite of mine. Rylin34’s “Blast Billiards” is a very fun game in which you don’t hit pool balls into the pockets, you hit bombs. and you better sink them all before the timers on the bombs go off, or yer done! Very fun game. Been played over 3,000 times so far.

Marion Barber's "Snake"

5. Rounding out the top 5 is an old school classic that we used to play on our cell phones. Snake is a great game that is currently dominated by Hunter82. When this game was added to the arcade, Hunter warned us that he would be #1 in this game…and since then, he took the title and NOONE has been able to stop him. Can you? Snake has been played over 3000 times in the OSN arcade for a total of 2 days, 5 hours, twenty-six minutes and fourty-nine seconds.

A group of OSN members, led by Dancenham, have begun an epic undertaking of getting a famous athlete involved with OneSeason. It all started when…here, we’ll let Hamface tell the story…

Two months ago I did not have the slightest idea what in the hell Twitter was. PDXPup set up an OSN Twitter account (@1seasonnation) to send out market info along with IPO Alerts, Are You Fan Enough answers, and her random attempts at humor. Now we may be on the brink of something that could kick start our own OneSeason marketing campaign.

On the night of Wednesday July 30, 2009.. We had our first real “Superstar”
to reply to a OneSeason Tweet. I sent @OGOchoCinco, which is Chad OchoCincos Twitter Tag, the following message:

“@OGOchoCinco - we need a 4 letter stock symbol for u. Should we just vote for OCHO? www.oneseason.com“

Which was replied to within minutes with “@dancenham yes I like it”

My first thought was that I better get to the bathroom asap because
i may have just sprayed Hersey squirts through my man briefs.. But I was able to keep myself together and I quickly emailed Bullpup. His response wasn’t what i expected - “hahaha kick ass!”

OCHO has over 78,000 followers. He rarely, and i mean rarely adds the users name to his Tweet when replying to questions. But my name was in there. Meaning that if only half of his followers went and checked what he was replying to, thats 39,000 unique users saw the shameless plug of www.oneseason.com. I wrote back to BP and through his second email i sensed the excitement. We may be on to something!

The news story went up on OSN Homepage and then the VOTE UP OCHO thread was started. He has jumped up all the way to #3 (could even  be #1 by the time this prints) on the IPO Request List.

OCHO also likes to do live streams of himself taking questions through a chatbox. This is all done Live and Unedited. Myself & RealityCheck
(along with others) pulled up his LiveStream and began to not so much flood the chat room with OS questions..We were actually able to have him mention “OneSeason.Com” twice. At this time there were over 1300 people viewing his stream. He uses the website ustream.tv and his streams are all under the title The Chad Ocho Cinco Show. If you are having trouble finding it, just pull up his Twitter page and follow the links.

We have to keep having him see the address so it sticks in his head. OCHO loves attention, and he would love nothing better than
to be the #1 WR on OS. If we can get him on the site.. just ONCE.. we could turn this thing on its head.

So all in all, OSN is in the middle of a large scale effort to get Chad OchoCinco IPO’d ASAP on OneSeason. After the IPO reset, he will probably be number 1. Imagine Chad’s excitement when Dancenham twitters him again that he is number 1 on the IPO request list, followed by all of the OSN members in his live stream chat room letting him know. It could be a very interesting weekend.

Have a great one, everyone!

Bullpup,

The latest OSN get together was the best OSN experience since Giona shared her opinion of TMAC. I hope you enjoy.

Sincerely ,

Jpup

OneSeason, true to form, has launched Fantasy Leagues right inside OneSeason! That’s right! And you form your team buy picking and choosing the SOIs YOU want to make up your team! Check out the site! It looks like all those smart folks in OSN who have been saying “Chill Out, they are waiting until they have enough players in the market to do something” were dead on! What are your thoughts on this exciting announcement?

Red Sox fans do NOT mess around....

OneSeason, to me, means friends. OneSeason fans had their first real get together over the 4th of July weekend. Location? Boston, MA. In times when it seems some folks can only focus on how OneSeason “owes” them something….I was not surprised that during the weekend get together in Boston, market cap, IPOs, deposit limits, and OneSeason’s long term plan, was not even discussed. What was discussed was Red Sox vs. Mariners. (Mariners take 2 out of 3 at Fenway, but cannot complete the sweep on Sunday)

Center Field Bleachers. Fenway Park

Hot Chicks EVERYWHERE were discussed, as were the little known fact that the dudes in Boston definitely pop their collars, but also definitely do NOT iron their shirts.

Celtics Basketball was discussed, including Larry Bird, Red Aurbach, and Ray Allen being a TOTAL pussy.

Larry Birds Shoes

Had to wait for kids wearing Knicks gear on to pose for pictures w/ Red with their grimy fingers up his nose.

What was dicussed was Jpup’s decision to not wear all Yankee gear to the Sox/Mariners game in Fenway, was, on paper, a good decision and very heartfelt. But when he arrived, ready to go for the game wearing his Yankees hat and Mariners jersey, we had to walk him through how that scenario would probably work out for him, once he stepped foot near the ballpark.

Bob Rafferty, Jpup, Quizrox

Jpup should just get an OSN Jersey, and he can be popular in EVERY stadium! OneSeason has given many folks brand new friends, who they would never have had a chance to meet otherwise. Lifelong friendships have been forged. I got to meet one of the most amazing 2-year olds the world has ever seen.

Giona wants to hug a turtle

Future Owner of Larry Bird. (NOT the turtle)

Giona is still emphatic (I asked her) that Larry Bird is the best buy, and TMAC is the worst buy. We have posted article after article that people would be much happier about OneSeason if they just chilled out a little bit, relaxed, and it has been suggested they just get on a boat.

Bullpup is on a dock

"Looks like you blew a seal...." "Naahh. I just at a bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream is all..."

Did I mention Boston has AMAZING talent?

Coupla Drunky Brewsters

Ladies, please learn from this picture

Girls were everywhere. Boston rules.

A trip to Boston wouldn’t be complete without having a beer or twenty.

Red Sox and Yankees, arm in arm

On the way to find more beer

Obligatory Drunk Wound

Regardless of what the ‘market’ does. We are making life long friendships. We have people in every single state represented in OSN. While some people continue to bitch, moan, and whine about OneSeason, others are having fun, and making plans to go golfing together. Making plans to have beers together. Having fun playing contests in the forums. Oh, this dude has “Red Sox” tattooed inside his lower lip, by the way.

it says"Red Sox" It's a tattoo

I believe OneSeason will be around for the long term. CRV wouldn’t invest money in something that didn’t have a solid long term business plan with substantial growth outlooks. Several very smart, and very educated people would not be spending 10’s of thousands of dollars of their own money to create apps and games and sites based around OneSeason if it was going to fail.

OneSeason will be fine long term. Please take your complaining, and whining out of our faces. Have some fun. Meet people in your area. Go golfing. Play Beat the Bacon. I would like to thank OneSeason for giving me no less than 5 new friends in the last year who I would trust my life with, and hundreds others who I would be honored to call my friend. I can’t wait for the next 12 months.

The only question we have right now is where will the next OSN get together happen? Before or After the OSN Vegas Trip??

Have a great week everyone.

2 of my best friends in the world.(who I didn't know this time last year)

What do these 3 Men Have in Common?

It seems like some people are making more state of OneSeason posts than usual, and I am a copy cat so I will chime in.

It currently kind of blows if you have a lot of money in.

It is still moderately fun if you are playing with $50 - $100 and can see 5 - 10% gains off IPO hits.

Everyone will likely continue to go down thru the summer.

Football SHOULD see some renewed interest, but existing players likely will not recover overly quickly as new options will continue to come to market.

If you have a TON (60+% of FRTE) of someone, you are kind of screwed short term.

If you have a few shares of every football player, you will likely be able to make a few measley dollars.

Bullpup theorized today that perhaps OneSeason is correcting to where they expected it. I interpreted that to mean that he thinks it is possible they are only after very small casual players.

The fact of the matter is that if the rent on their office is $5000 (laughable low for SF) and they are getting 1% commission in each direction they need $250,000 worth of shares traded a month to cover that cost.

I have also heard it theorized that they may be getting as much as 7% interest on the money in the system, and that is how they intend to profit.

5 employees (less than we know they have) making $50,000 each (pretty standard for 20 something college grads) would mean they need $3,571,428.57 in the bank at an AMAZING interest rate to afford those employees, and we haven’t even discussed traditional and non traditional benefits yet.

I think the final theory is that CRV giving them 3.5 million dollars buys them time.

Startups are not usually given 2nd phase money until they hit the 2nd phase.

3.5 million would BARELY cover the advertising they are doing in addition to their hosting fees and operational costs.

The reality is that something WILL change in the very near future.

OneSeason out of sheer necessity can NOT remain in it’s current state.

The logical move? You tell me

We are opening this up to the entire OneSeason community! You can send your picks to dancenham@oneseasonnation.com for this week! Here is the official rules.

“You know, the best part of the best drug in the world isn’t the high. It’s the moment just before you take it. The dice are dancing on the table. Between now and the time they stop, that’s the greatest high in the world.”

Week #3 - More Money Week

At the start of contest period, you will select 1 MLB SOI that you have in your sportsfolio. You will then be given OSN Money to use based on your Fan Mogul Rankings. You will then take that money and make bets throughout the contest using a pre-set table of bets.

Fan Mogul Ranks & $$ that it gets you:

#1 on the Fan Mogul gets you $100
#2 gets you $99
#3 gets you $98
#4 gets you $97
.
.
#99 gets you $2
#100 gets you $1

Each contest will start on a Sunday, that will give Dancenham an entire Saturday to go through the Fan Moguls to verify how much OSN Money you start with.

What Can I Bet On?

Everyone will use this Table of Bets:

Positional Players

15. Pitcher gives up 3 or less Earned Runs in the game: 6:1

Derrick Rose’s luck continues to run out. First, months back, he is shat on by The Brett. Then Sdog removes Rose as is avatar in the OSN forums, and OSN Arcade. And now this.

The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Derrick Rose had his high school transcript altered to change a D to a C before it was sent to college. This news comes after it was reported that Rose had a stand-in take his SAT test.

Here is an excerpt of the article.

Someone with access to Derrick Rose’s academic records at Simeon High School changed a D to a C, boosting the future Bulls Rookie of the Year’s transcript for college, sources told the Chicago Sun-Times today.

Who altered the records in the grade-changing scandal remains a mystery that the Chicago Public Schools has been unable to solve.

You can see the full article here.

Another not so shocking revelation in the NBA world. Expect Rose to take a big hit in the public’s eye and be scrutinized heavily. Derrick Rose has a Market Cap of $5470 on OneSeason with 924 outstanding shares. Expect his SOI to not have as quick of a rise as his peers during the next swing up, due to the black eye his reputation has now.
