Gen | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 10:38 am     Bob, finally got it! Thanks so much for your patience and for helping me understand. Sorry it took me so long. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 11:17 am     a word to the wise.... i have picked burton to go. the only times acme has been wrong with their prediction is when i go with who they pick.... so watch jon go! and as darrah joel osment would say, "ahr siz ded pahrple". |
Dipo | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:04 pm     Okay, so if I go change my vote for "plankee" I will only get 10 bonus points. But if my vote is wrong do I still get the 30 bonus points for voting early??? |
Bob2112 | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:43 pm     Huh? |
Strawberry | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:46 pm     Bob - You've got mail |
Dipo | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:49 pm     Bob, I am so confused by the points. Do you only get your bonus points if your choices are correct???? I am trying to decide if I want to go change my choices. Thanks |
Squaredsc | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:51 pm     bonus points are only for making your votes before the deadlines. your picks don't have to be correct for the bonus points. |
Dipo | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:53 pm     excellent squared, I think I will leave my choice and take the 30 points. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:55 pm     kool. and fwiw spoilers aren't always correct. |
Bob2112 | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 12:59 pm     Dipo: You get the 10, 20 or 30 bonus points just for playing, depending on the time of your last posted picks. If you look at the example I did for Gen above, you will see these points in the column labelled Bonus Points. In addition, each correct pick earns you a base score plus some bonus points, depending on how many other people had the same pick as you did. The more common the pick, the lower the bonus points. An incorrect pick may be zero points or negative points (you get -50 if your Stay On pick is voted off). So, you may earn more points for Voted Off, Stay On and Immunity by making more risky choices, but you run the risk of gettig the negative points. I'll grab a copy of the points part of the rules and post it here in a few minutes. Strawberry: No email yet! Did you put a stamp on it? |
Bob2112 | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 01:01 pm     Here's the summary of how the 3 catagories are scored: Scoring System
Correct Voted Off Pick | 50 points + bonus | Correct Stay On Pick | 10 points + bonus | Correct Immunity Pick | 15 points + bonus | Bonus Points
Voted Off Bonus | 100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick | Stay On Bonus | (100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick) divided by 10 | Immunity Bonus | (100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick) divided by 5 | Negative Points
Stay On pick is voted off | -50 points | Immunity pick voted off | -25 points (only applicable after tribes merge) | Vote Off pick wins Immunity | -15 points (only applicable after tribes merge) |
