Archive through October 17, 2001
Car54 | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 06:46 am   I just checked the dead pool site, and it says the standings for wk 1 will be posted sometime today. I am in both pools, registered by mistake as unspoiled in the first group, so my deadline for voting is 8pm tonight! Any advice team? |
Quietstorm4 | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 07:22 am   I'm in the first alliance. How do you sign up for email? My email address is quiet_storm4@excite.com. |
Fflur | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 08:30 am   Titanfan you crack me up! I agree about Boran, I think they are at a disadvantage mentally and physically. Ive signed up for email but havent gotten anything as of yet (still not completely sure how all of this works). Was it me or did the previews for Silas not look positive? |
Voyeur | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 03:20 pm   car54, since this upcoming challenge involves drinking blood and Ethan is a vegetarian, he may refuse and lose immunity for his tribe, and that would probably lead to his being voted off. That is the only thing I can think of so far. |
Car54 | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 04:42 pm   Voyeur, there has been big discussion amongst the TVCH alliance e-mail group today, and most people are thinking Ethan will drink the blood... that he must have known that one challenge would involve eating something icky. P.S. If you are in the TVCH alliance there is a poll over at the Yahoo e-mail group site Judy set up... only 7 of 50 of us have taken the poll... this is a good way to see how others are thinking. |
Hippyt | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 06:45 pm   where is the Yahoo e-mail group site. I couldn't find it,please. I got two of the three right,but am confused on what I want to do this week. Need more info. Thanks,Hippy |
Zed | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 07:42 pm   Individual standings have been posted-no alliance standings as of yet. Apparently there are 7032 people playing this round. |
Tksoard | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 07:43 pm   THE STANDINGS ARE IN!!! TVCHAlliance #1 is 129 out of 216!!! Not to bad for the first week (I hope). Trying to see what #2 is, but it took too long. I'll go try again.  |
Tksoard | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 07:57 pm   The TVCH Alliance #2 is #83 out of 216!! Congradulations!! Individually I'm #1853 out of 7032. Personally, I think that's pretty good for not knowing what the heck I was doing. Wait till next week. We'll KICK some SDP butt!!  |
Discoinferno | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 08:19 pm   Wow!!! The scores are posted finally!!! Good job everyone for their good picks! |
Saphyre | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 05:59 am   Wow, I'm 947 out of 7032 and like Tksoard, I had no idea what I was doing either. Now to figure out how to vote this week (which would be easier if yahoo gets on the ball and lets me join the yahoo email list). |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 06:27 am   wooohoooo!! Oh Yeah! =) |
Grooch | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 06:43 am   Here are the Deadpool rules on how they figure out the scoring. Deadpool Scoring Okay, here's the scoop. Scoring System Correct Voted Off Pick 50 points + bonus Correct Immunity Pick 15 points + bonus Correct Stay On Pick 10 points + bonus Correct Extra Pick 10 points + bonus Bonus Points Voted Off Bonus 100 points minus the percentage of Deadpool players who made the same pick Immunity Bonus (100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick) divided by 5 Stay On Bonus (100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick) divided by 10 Extra Bonus (100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick) divided by 10 Negative Points Stay On pick is voted off -50 points Immunity pick voted off -25 points (only applicable after tribes merge) Voted Off pick wins immunity -15 points (only applicable after tribes merge) Scaling Scaled scores are calculated by taking the total overall weekly score and dividing it by the episode number, counting backwards from 13. (We counted backwards from 14 for Survivor 2, which featured an extra episode.) Thus, scores from episode 1 (airing Oct. 11, 2001) are divided by 13; scores from episode 2 are divided by 12, and so on. This weighting gives greater value to scores from later in the game. Final Episode For the final episode, the final four Survivors presumably will be winnowed down to the winning Sole Survivor. Scoring for this episode will be conducted differently from previous weeks. Scoring rules for the final episode will be announced by the Deadpool no later than the previous week's episode. |
Faux_Pas | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 08:13 am   i can't find the yahoo group either. can anyone point me in the right direction? btw, i did quite well. i was one of the many in 70th place. i missed being one of the many in 1st by .01 points. |
Tntitanfan | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 10:16 am   I know which tribe I am voting to win immunity and who to stay, but I don't have a clue about who to go!! Where can I find a list of people by team? There are a couple I'm not sure of!! |
Sunshinemiss | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 04:22 pm   Ok I'm in! (thanks Grooch) it was a pain though, took me four tries, I kept getting error messages or knocked off the web completely. Judy add me to the email list please, I need voting advice.. myfs@webtv.net Yay I belong now, and on my birthday too, woo-hoo! TVCH alliances RULE! |
Phrf | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 04:37 pm   Sunshinemiss- HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY MORE GO ALLIANCES!!! |
Car54 | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 04:44 pm   OK one more time...if you want to be in the Yahoo e-mail group, contact Judy at judy_jon@bellsouth.com then she will "invite" (the invite is "yahoo" stuff) you which will help you get in. I wandered around for about 3 days trying to get in... I think Judy and onlymessin have finally got us figured out. but we are e-mailing our hearts out over there, and some of us are really doing a good job with the snooping and researching.... re voting... thanks Grooch, I am kind of mathematically challenged, and last week I had not understood the importance mathematically of picking an unlikely person to stay... you do better if less people picked the same person... so don't pick the most popular person... I got all my picks right, but so did lots of other people, so scored really mediocre.. this is really harrrrrrdddd!!! By the way, many thanks to Judy... who missed her calling as a cruise director,,, boy can she organize a group and keep it fun! |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 05:09 pm   Faux Pas, congratulations on your scoring! |
Hippyt | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 06:02 pm   Thanks Car54! I'm getting on it now. |
Cathie | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 08:07 pm   Car54 - I clicked on the email link to Judy and sent an email requesting to join the email group (I'm in alliance #2) but the email was returned from bellsouth.com stating that there was no such email account there. I then found an old email from Judy and her correct address is at bellsouth.net instead of bellsouth.com, so for anyone else trying this it is: judy_jon@bellsouth.net  |
Sukii1 | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 08:19 pm   Tntitanfan, look in this same forum, except look under Survivor 3 cast or something like that, it has pictures of all the tribe members and which tribe they're in. hth Sheridan |
Sukii1 | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 08:21 pm   Woops, correction, you need to back all the way out to the main Survivor heading, not Survivor General discussion..it says Survivor III cast there. |
Donut | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 10:56 pm   hi guys. Yay teams! hey Car 54- we tied for top o' the alliance!! i feel icky for tooting my horn(wait, you are the car, donuts dont have horns) but i aint never been the first name on a list before!! and i am proud cuz i just used tv guide tiny blurbs to guide me. Grooch- thanks for getting me on there!!!!!!!!!!!! i still dont get some things tho: --how come my standing was 618 out of 3000+ but others said their standings was out of 7032 Arent we all in the same size overall group? ---is there a search, or to find yourself do you have to scroll thru hundreds or thousands of names, eg how did you find out that your just missed the #1 spot? --how do they determine the order of all the #1 players if we all got all three right? Is it just based on if you picked a popular person to stay in? and how do you know who is popular or not? --how is the alliance standing scored. if you have 5 or 20 or 50 in your group is it done by percentage correct or group average, or do they add it up so that 50 people groups do best? --are those enuf questions? Thanks for the answers in advance! |
Car54 | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 04:42 am   Donut, scroll up and read the post above from Grooch.. she did a great job outlining the scoring and rules Woo Hoo for us! My luck is over I think... we have been e-mailing ourselves silly in the alliance group, and the problem is, I agree with EVERYONE!!!! Don't forget... tonite is the re-broadcast of the 1st show, AND Amazing Race!!!! |
