Hi all! It's me, your favorite blogger in the blogosphere here to drop some information for all those wishing to participate in the new contest. As head of the contest and a long time player of FantasyCongress.com, I have some bits and pieces that could help everyone. No, I will not tell you who's best, but I will tell you how to play, how to get sign up, etc.
So, let's start from the beginning as that seems to be a sensible place to begin:
- Signing Up
- Go to FantasyCongress.com and click the large blue button labeled "Start Here: It's Simple"
- Click Sign Up (duh....)
- Select "I just want a normal account, I wish I were still in school."
- Now fill in all your information and click "Agree."
- YOUR USERNAME FOR THERE AND HERE MUST BE THE SAME TO GET POINTS! Is that stressed enough?
- You're not a contributing member to society.
- Joining the ProU Leagues
- Make sure you're logged in on FantasyCongress (henceforth FC) and open a new window/tab to ProU. Visit the bonus op page and find the link for the appropriate League (as in, League 1. If League 1 is full, join League 2...so on so forth). Select that link and it should open a new window/tab/page where it will show you who's already joined.
- You should now see a rather large red button that says "JOIN this league." You guessed it, click that.
- Now, for the number one question that I will hence forth no longer answer: THE PASSWORD IS PROGRESS.
- Now you're ready to draft your team.
- Picking the Team
- Find your way to the place where you can draft your very own team of congressmen. These lying, cheating, scandalous bastards are going to help you win a shit load of points. Pick the ones you know will:
- Be in the news
- Make a mess of things
- Pass laws
- Cosponsor laws
- Vote against all the other members.
- That's all I am going to say on this topic. The whole thing is pretty intuitive, but if I notice that someone is not quite getting any points (and yes, I am in both Leagues with 0 points. I have to be.) I will try and let them know via a PM on ProU.

- Winning
- Trading congressmen around on a semi-regular basis can help you win a good amount of points, but it can also be like Russian Roulette. Sometimes you get the bullet. For example, Biden was doing really well one week, so I dropped one of my previous choices and drafted him. However, he stopped doing well and my drop got better. It's all a game of guess and check. The important thing is to not just win points. Just waiting around will not help you win the bonus point max of 4.5k.
Alright. I've given a ton of stuff away...but you know, I will still answer some questions should you have them. PM me, comment here, email me (nicktaden@msn.com), whatever. Just remember, it's all on you to win the contest. Best of Luck.
- Aren't I amazing?
