New idea. You know how they have fantasy baseball and football and such? My idea is fantasy poskim. You draft your very own beit din of gedolei ha'dor and rack up points based on their rulings. The point scale could be something like this:
publish a teshuva with a coolah: 5 points
publish a teshuva with a chumra: 10 points
have a chumra taken on by mainstream judiasim: 20 points
have a chumra taken on only by New York jews: -20 points
release a psak supporting the state of Israel: 5 points
release a psak damning the state of Israel: 10 points
protest with the arabs: -10 points
put a person in cherem: 20 points
be put in cherem: game over you win! (your rabbi must be on to something if he's in cherem.)
There would aslo be an option to have one "dead" rabbi, such as the lubavicher rebbe, on your beit din's disabled list (DL). If he comes back as the moshiach: 100 points
This is just a start more to come (maybe)...
Side Rants
-You know the song: "There was a man who had a dog and Bingo was his name-o" I say that the phrase "Bingo was his name-o" can possibly be reffering to the man and not the dog. Bingo is the man who had the dog.
-I'm glad the yankee bullpen last night decided to defend their hitters: "It was a rainy night, the ball slipped," Quantrill said. "I guess the same as it did for whatever that kid's name who was pitching when he hit Alex. Stuff happens." Best part is there are still two games left in the series.

I think the song has been changed over the years and "Name-o" originally was "Game-o". The guy was an old man with a dog and he used to go play Bingo every day at the senior citizen's center to keep himself busy
How would you work the draft for your fantasy posek league?
"I'll trade you my Bostoner for your first round draft pick and a Soloveichik to be named later..."
One problem with the game-o answer. game-o could still refer to the dog. maybe the dog enjoyed playing bingo.
hehe fantasy pokim. thats awesome!
mta got r' gottleib as a free agent, hehehehe.
along the lines of ari but whatever, but ill give you r' aharon soloveitchik, and r' dovid liphshitz and a gedolei hador to be named later, for the vlina goan.
