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???

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

bonus points are only for making your votes before the deadlines. your picks don't have to be correct for the bonus points.

excellent squared, I think I will leave my choice and take the 30 points.

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. :)

Here's the summary of how the 3 catagories are scored:

Scoring System

Correct Stay On Pick10 points + bonus
Correct Immunity Pick15 points + bonus


Bonus Points
Voted Off Bonus100 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)

HELP!!! Flotsam and Jetsam needs a replacement player for Jasper, whom we have regretfully decided to make walk the plank. We need someone who is NOT on a team with any of the following: Caroline, Maryk, Redstar or Suzsmarmie. PLEASE be someone who has been having some success with her/his picks, is dedicated to playing the deadpool, votes before the first deadline, and will not leave us stranded high and dry. Flotsam and Jetsam is currently in 4th place.

The first person who posts to this thread willing to join us will be added.

THANK YOU!!!!!
