Hi Bob, like Gidget said, thank you for the heads up and creating our team folder for Team CoCoNuts. I've sent Tabby a private message via email and I've also posted just a few minutes ago just after she posted this morning in the Caption thread...so hopefully she will be in to place her votes. If she doesn't come in, can I place votes in her absence by the time of the SuperBowl Halftime show? I'll go with whatever you decide....thanks! Eggie

Oh most wonderfullest Mr. SpongeBob, I was wondering if you could switch Donut for Egbok (Egbok for Donut?) on the Spoiled Snack Foods? Totally understand if it's too late for this week. Thank you!

Spongie, thanks for allowing me to post votes in Tabbyking's absence. I haven't heard from her, so I'm assuming she's on the road to/from SLO. I'll check in a SuperBowl Halftime and post in Week 1 Votes thread. Also, if you are able to switch out Donut in my spot on Spoiled Snack Foods, it's okay with me. Thanks!

Player | This Weeks Pos | Season Total | Week Total Scaled | | Reward Points | Immunity Points | Voted Off Points | Stay On Points | Bonus Points | Week Total | | Last Weeks Pos | Change | Surfgirl | 87 | 98.758 | -1.242 | | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 23.851 | -40 | -16.149 | | -- | -- | Hi Surfgirl. There are 3 things that you are missing that lead to your Week Total Score of -1.242 and your Season Total of 98.758.- Besides getting 15 points for a correct Stay On pick, you get 8.851 extra bonus points for the survivor you picked to stay on. The statistics in the Week 1 Results folder show how everyone picked and the possible bonus points available. You get more bonus points if less people pick the same as you.
- A scaling factor is used to make the later weeks worth more points than the early weeks. Your total points for week 1 were divided by 13, so you only received a -1.242 for the week. Week 2 is divided by 12, week 3 by 11, and so on until it reaches 1 in week 13 and beyond. The last few weeks are worth a ton of points and can easily make up for a slow start.
- Everybody starts with 100 points (I forgot to mention that this time, but that's what we did the last 2 times) to start, so your season total ended up 100 - 1.242 = 98.758.
Vote by Monday evening this week to get the 80 bonus points. Combine that with some good picks and you will jump up towards the top of the list.

Members of the following teams: Pirate's Booty Pirates of TVCH Team Magilla The Sea Turtles I am currently 4 positions from the bottom of the heap. I will continue to play, although not sure I'll get to a point where I'm picking well--lol. IF any of the teams would like to replace me so they have at least a shot of getting out of the cellar, let me know. I don't want to hold any teams back with my unspoiled, poor picks--lol.

Hehehe, Lance, I was so excited to see that I was at #55 last night, then I scrolled down and saw there was only 80 some odd positions! If they're replacing you, they'd have to replace me too, cuz I'm only going to sink lower, LOL.

Dont you worry, we will maintain our good record. I have never done anything better than the bottom 25% in any game I have been in. If I actually played these games to win I would be a very depressed human being.

Yes, it's just a game. Maris, the funny thing is I do play to win, yet I'm not all that depressed about how baldy I'm doing--lol. That is not typically for me. I try to have fun with it (and do succeed at that) although I do want to do well--and hold no ill feelings to anyone on my teams that take it more seriously than I do--that was the basis for my offer. I'm playing the whole season in any event.

Hah, lance try and weasel out!! *G you're just too honorable!! BTW, I havent a clue how to play, but I wonder if anyone can explain how to cast your stay on vote? What logic for points? Do you pick who you think will be the eventual winner of ASS or do you pick someone from the tribe you think is going to tribal concil, and will NOT be voted off? Just curious, thanks...

You can pick whoever you think is going to stay on, someone from the team you think is going to TC or from a team you don't think is going. You get more points for a stay on vote that is riskier. Say most people have Amber picked to stay on, she's a pretty safe bet, you get a few points if you pick her. But, if you pick Richard and no one else does, or very few people do you get more points than someone who picked Amber. Remember though, if you're stay on person is voted off, you will lose points. I always pick who I'm rooting for to win as my stay on vote. Could be why I usually end up on the bottom, lol.
