Hello everyone. I'm not sure if just anyone can begin a game like this, or not. I suppose the Mods will let me know by either deleting or not deleting my post. Heh. My idea may have been done before, and if it has, then I'll just do it again! Each participant in the game will be alotted 500 units of currency (which we will indiscriminately call "dollars") and each week, they will place bets on which of the remaining Survivors they believe will be voted out next. Winning bets will add the cash value to their bank, and losing bets will subtract the cash value from their bank. The game will continue, week by week, until the Final Four is determined (once there are only four the odds become too great) OR until there is only one participant left. Here are some of the rules and guidelines: Bets must be placed during a certain time frame. Due to time zone discrepancies, there will be a (rather large) buffer time around the show. Bets may be placed from 7:00 AM CST Friday (or the day following the show) until 11:59 PM the following Wednesday (or the day preceding the show). Participants may bet for as many Survivors as they choose, but you must remember that for EACH losing bet, you lose money. So bet wisely. Participants may bet as much or as little of their money as they wish, but they must bet SOMETHING each week. Should a participant fail to bet, a value of $50 will be subtracted from their bank. If multiple bets are placed, the TOTAL amount bet must not exceed your bank account. All bets by one participant must be placed in ONE post each week. Participants may not alter their bets afterwards. So bet wisely. Bets for the first week will not be accepted until one week prior to the premier date, that is, January 25th. SO, there we have it. If you wish to participate, please indicate by replying. Participation will be limited to 18 players (18 Survivors, so 18 players.) Also, until the show begins, feel free to give feedback on what you think of the game and to propose alterations to the rules above. Here's to a hopefully good game! -Padivius

I think its a fine idea for a change of pace. I wonder if I should do my usual POLL or let your game and Bob's Deadpool be enough. Seems like 3 TVCH games would be at least one too many. What do the rest of you think?
