groan...................I don't want Nikko, he is out this week. I would rather pick another so I dont lose more points. If I were replacing one in my top two,as per originala rules, I would insert Anwar. The rule was if one of your top two were eliminated we could choose another. I would like to stick to the original plan. Anwar for me.

Ok, the fairest way is to go with the original rules. That being, one of your top two gets knocked out, choose another. I doubt any would choose Nikko if the original rules held fast. Nikko is the biggest loser of the pack. I doubt any would choose him as final 2. never. Not now. Just leave it. We are on a level playing field because most of us picked Mario.

I had Mario as a draft choice and now I have to have Nikko as a draft choice? I never in a million years would have picked him to be there at the end. Bo would have been my next choice. I know it's just a game and a lot of trouble for you to change Puter, but I just have to be a baby and whine about this development.

Maris, you are so wrong. It is life and death. As matter of fact my new trebuchet designed to hurl scalloped potatoes, is all in place. I am ready for war.............WAR! Well, maybe not war, but a messy slop on the face or if I miss, maybe on the chest or possibly over your right shoulder.

Those who chose Mario pick another for lesser points. Those who picked Nikko do the same. Neither will make the final two so we all get a second shot. Everyone replaces Nikko or Mario with another. I suppose some may think Nikko could make it and that is ok, pick him again and retain your original points. That can just not happen though. I like the guy, I think but nooooooooooooo

Well, I'm confused, Fruitbat. I thought Puter said that she didn't want to change everyone's picks, so if you had Mario for draft you get Nikko and you can't change to another.

No. I did not choose Nikko. I am chosing Anwar. I am not sure what you are saying, Azriel. Nikko is probably my pick to go this week!! LOL!

Fruitbat, I didn't choose Nikko, either, but my understanding is that I'm stuck with him now because I had Mario as a draft pick. Here is what Puter said above : 4.. As far as the Mario/Nikko disaster, here is how I plan to handle. It hope nobody minds, but this will much easier than trying to get new picks from everyone... B. Everybody who had Mario in the draft, I'm replacing him with Nikko. This is the fairest way, plus its alot less work for me! Nikko will still be worth 5 points IF YOU HAD MARIO

The operative phrase is that it is less work for Puttergirl. The way I see it people who had mario are not penalized for him being gone they are just getting the guy that replaced him. If Nikko goes then so be it, it just means it bought you an extra week instead of losing the points this week. If Nikko goes then you get to pick your replacement as you had planned to if Mario was gone. You dont lose anything when Nikko goes you will be exactly where you would have been if it had been Mario gone. But it is less work for Puttergirl and lets face it this game is a one man operation, a lot of work on a volunteer basis.

Getting the guy that replaced him is a penalty. The tribe had already spoken and Nikko is supposed to be gone. I think it would be easier if you just dropped the second pick on the guys and let everyone have just one draft choice for the guys. That would make it totally equal, fair and less work. edited to add: oh well, she would still have to change the chart and that would be more work. Never mind.

Sounds fair to me Puttergirl, I don't like Nikko but it makes sense to do it the way you plan. He is still worth 5 pts until he is gone so we are not losing any points, whenever Nikko leaves we can replace him with our own choice. As Maris said this is only a game and I have done a game before way back in the mole days and you will notice you don't see me volunteering to do one again. Thanks for your hard work, whatever you choose is fine with me.

Thanks Putter, I just didn't think I should have had the 5 points on your last update for TRavis

And thanks Putter, for all the hard work. It took me awhile to get what you were doing but luckily my IQ slid back into place. It shifts on me occasionally.

Replacing Mario with Nikko is for this week. There was no way it would be fair to me or to anyone who doesn't come to the board everyday to have to make a new pick before they sang tonight. REMEMBER- the way the draft works, you get points for who begins the night. I couldn't penalize those who came to vote late tonight or tomorrow for not having told me who to replace Mario with so quickly. So... everyone who had Mario (which was me also, by the way) will get to pick a new person for next week. But for this week, you have Nikko. Its the same 5 points you're getting that you would have gotten with Mario. I'll post the new questions in a minute. I'm going to ask you to make another pick in Mario's place, which will replace Nikko in your draft beginning NEXT WEEK!
