Bob Due to popular demand, I give you:


The TVCH Survivor DEADPOOL!!!



I'm not quite ready to post all the rules,
(visit Old Deadpool Link to look at the defunct game's rules)
but I will attempt to run it as close to the original as possible.

There are 3 Enhancements I did want to make everyone aware of.
Um...Well...one is more of a Correction to the TAR version and not really an Enhancement.
So, that's 2 Enhancements and 1 Correction.
NO! Wait!

An incentive!

Yes, one's more of an Incentive, than an Enhancement. Yeah! That's the ticket!

That makes 1 Enhancement, 1 Incentive and 1 Correction. Yes, that seems right.

But, nothing was really wrong with the TAR Deadpool, so maybe Correction is too strong a word. Let's make it an Enhancement again.

So, We're back to 2 Enhancements and 1 Incentive.

Now, where was I?

Enhancement 1:

I will allow you all to form teams of up to 5 players (or call them tribes, alliances or whatever) and I will compute a team score based on the average of all its members.
You may be on multiple teams, but you can't be on more than 1 team with the same person.
Use this thread to name your team and solicit people to join or talk amoungst yourselves and post your team name and its members.

Enhancement 2 (or Correction 1):

While rereading the old Survivor Deadpool rules, I discovered that I missed an important part of the scoring (and nobody else remembered either! :)).
Each week's points will be scaled so that later week's points are more important than the first week's points.
The way it will be done is to divide week 1 points by 13, week 2 points by 12, week 3 points by 11 and so on, until week 13 and beyond points are full value.
Since few people understand the math anyway, you may just ignore this part too!
I don't know how this would have changed the TAR4 results, but I may attempt to recompute them after I have the new program done for Survivor.

Incentive 1 (or Enhancement 2 or 3, you pick):

I will award 25 points to each individual for every week that they make their picks.
<...I call this the Putergirl Bonus, since it works well in her games...> :)
This should benefit the players who continue to make picks throughout the season and also puts some pressure on teams to make sure all members post picks.

OK, That's it for now. I'll work with the Mods to create a Results folder and possibly a Rules folder so we don't lose those in all the pick posts.

Start recruiting people that did not play in the TAR Deadpool and also drag some of the BB4 people over at the same time!

Let's see if we can break 100 players! :)
