Sorry to say I prob hurt Micks team as I had Jed on my roster... sorry... are you ready to kick me off the team yet???? I don't know how to figure out who all got what points, but I figured the rest of the team musta done pretty well....

Man, I was so mad when I heard Ted speak Thai! I had him chosen for catching a fish. I really feel obligated to put thought into this as I do not want to let my tribe down!

We need one more! Join us -Granny gave the info above.

Just so everyone knows, Survivor Gal is me. I joined tvchalliance2. I'll do my best to get points for everyone.

Good Meg, now just make sure he lets us know which picks to make. Considering his age,(I think 10) he is probably better at it than me!! Essence so glad to have you on board. Don't worry, you will certainly do better than I do. I'm not real good at picking. But Meg's son is gonna help us!!

ok I have a question I am on Mic's team and I am confused about making our picks, do we all choose the same thing or do I make my picks as I see them? PLEASE let me know so I don't have the booted person on my team again lol

Classy, you make your own picks and then it's a combined score for your tribe.

Zachy and I are going to spread our picks around so we have a better choice of one of us getting a good score. One thing I am leaning towards is the thought that the purple team may throw another immunity challenge as they seem to be trying to clean house. I switched to all orange team today. Also- note that we read that the special categories will occasionally change so we all need to keep up with that.

You are so right about the young ones though- he installed jaguar on my mac for me today and immediately started showing me all the features.

Granny- you got a great score! We should all do so well...

My public tribe is still short of people but Zachy got put in a different one.

tvchfun has 5 members- I have no idea how to check a tribes ranking though- only my own. And damn, I suck! I have 100 points.

Kaili, If you are the Chief, then you can check your tribe. Only if you have a lot of points like tvchalliance are you ranked. tvchalliance2 wasn't ranked because we didn't have enough points. Only the top 100 teams I think are ranked. Hope this helps. When you go to check your team right under the team players it says join a tribe or whatever and anyway that is where is says members and you can click on that to see how your whole team did.

Kaili- If you can't get 3 more members then have some of your team members do two teams- because clearly you can't move into the rankings without 8 members contributing points.

100 points is nothing to be ashamed of- if all 8 members of a team did that their 800 points would have been on the leaderboard. Basically choosing four members from the same tribe and having them win both challenges gives you that...

It's those bonus categories that I am facinated with. Obviously they know that someone does all of those things at some point...and if we can predict it we score BIG. Who the heck will make jewelry? I was also thinking there may be a luxury challenge involving the eating of insects... And aren't they all too divided right now for much lip kissing to happen?

Arghhh! Brain freeze!

I'm thinking Sook-Jai will be eating bugs more likely just because of their food issues... Maybe Robb will get desperate. I won't have him on my team though...

Thanks for letting me know about the ranking thing. I got this game confused with the realiiity one where you can always see your standing.

I wish I could buy a clue as to who to choose. Obviously my tactic of picking all Chuy did not help my team a bit. Zachy, at least, had all Sucky.

The thing is, I think they select those bonus categories because someone does each one of them at one point. ^&%$##@@#&()!!!

I can't for the life of me remember what password I used when I first signed up, and now I can't get back in to change my picks or even check my score. @&*%$#!!!!!

I can't get in to change my picks either. When I log on it tells me to choose four players and when I do it tells me I already have four players, but it won't let me switch. If anyone can, go ahead and kick me out because I don't know what else to do. I'm in the first tvch alliance.

Kaili, I joined your tribe [name: tvchfun password: bubble] as LosAngelesCaUSA. There are currently seven members, so there is room for others to join!

lobster, don't they have a 'forgot my password' place for you to click on?
i am not able to really play this one because cbs won't let you log off and log a new person on. my daughter and i use the same computer, but when i log off, and then we go to log her on, it automatically puts my user name back up. it did not do this the first week and we could both go in and out of the game. i emailed cbs 3 times about it and got no response.
i am playing 6 other games, so it's okay...but kind of frustrating that the ACTUAL broadcasting company is the one hosting the screwy game!!

Hobobabeusa- great! I can't say we're doing great- well, I can't speak for anyone else because I don't know how anyone else is doing. Actually, I haven't even checked the ranking lately! I know my 4 people are still on the island, but I really don't know (point-wise) where we are. :)

Tabby- that is really weird- it lets me log off and my son log in. Plus I have no trouble switching players either. I'll hold my breath and hope it lasts... Quiet-did you click Trade?

Lobster

Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 08:00 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
No, Tabbyking. Unfortunately they don't have a forgot your password. I filled out the feedback form, but I haven't heard back.

Kaili, I'm in your tribe. If you can boot me, go right ahead, cuz I'll probably never get back in there without changing my team name and re-registering.

Quietstorm4

Meggie- I can't even get to the trade button. As soon as I long in it tells me to select four players. When I make my selections and hit next, I get an error message that says I already chose my contestants. Then it says 'click here to go back' when I do that I'm right back where I started. I'm going in circles and I'm tired of trying to figure it out.

Mick- if you can just kick me out. That way someone else can join and get some points for the team.

In the poll over at CBS, Stephanie has 18% of the vote and Ted has 17% of the vote for who is booted off next. I never even thought of Ted. Clay maybe but not Ted. I voted for Shii Ann and she had no votes at all!!

Guess what? All of a sudden I'm able to get in, view my teams, and even make a trade. I thought I'd give it one more shot and 'voila'. So I guess I'm back in it.

i still am 'permanently' logged in and i can't log out for my daughter to log on. i can log out, but when we go to log back on, it automatically puts my name and password in the spaces. there doesn't seem to be any way to override this, so we just gave up on this game.

That happened with me and a friend of mine for the BB fantasy game. I logged on but her info came up. I hit the refresh button and my info came up. It only happened once, but you might want to try it.

I had my husband and son laughing tonight- every time someone cried (lots!) I tried to remember who had which player between zachy and me and got points now that they have added crying as a point earner. Aside from loving it when the DUDE left I was noticing that tear coming down Penny's face and crowing about the points, lol!

Kaili......I just joined TVCHFun and was #8. I picked Brian, Clay, Ted, and Helen as my four players. I hope that was all I'm supposed to do. This is going to be the first episode I've missed, but hopefully my four will pick up some points for the team........Ginger

Alaginger- I believe that is all, plus you can also choose things that you think each person might do during an episode and if they do it, you get points. Honestly, I haven't checked in over there for awhile. I have the same people I started with- don't really know who they are but I know they're still there!

Meggieprice

Tuesday, October 29, 2002 - 08:36 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
You have to pick the option to choose bonus actions. They added cry last week, along with eating insects, catching a fish, etc. I keep thinking they will finally have a gross food challenge involving insects so I think I might choose that...

The only thing to make sure to do is if one of your team is overwhelmingly favored to go you might want to switch 'em out- you lose points for them being booted as well as for each vote against them. Also, if one of your team is voted out then pick someone else or you'll have a non point earner from then on....

All that said- I have no clue what to do and especially this week.

Luckily, all the best people party at suck every week!

Thanks Kaili and Meggie.......I'll go back in and see about choosing bonus actions. I didn't catch that part when I signed up. Good Luck Everybody!!!
