I don't know if you were counting me or not, but go ahead and let someone else in. I've got my hands full with all the polls I'm running. Thanks, though. For those of you who don't make it into this one, my poll has unlimited spaces- lol. I'll be posting the first questions soon.

If you still have room, I'd like to play but if the game is full that's what I get for being late. I can't let Mojo, Hip, and Half play and me not play.

Betting for the first show closes at 11:59 PM CST on Saturday, January 31st, 2004. Sorry, Roro. I didn't let Caroline join in either, because she's after the limit. I find 18 is quite enough for me to be keeping track of. And guys, please don't call me Pad. Padi or Padivius is fine. No hard feelings, Mocha. Hehe...

Padi..can you repost the rules a couple days before the 25th?? Thanks..cant wait to play

I certainly will re-post the rules, Pamy. I have been thinking of revamping the rules a bit. There are a couple things that I'd like to change, such as increasing the penalty for not betting in a given week. Because as it is (penalty = $50) players can not bet up to 9 times before they're out of the game. Therefore, I believe I will increase the penalty amount to $100 or even $125. Players, please re-read the rules when I re-post them to ensure that you know the final ruling. After I post the final rules, they will not be changed for hell or high water , so if you have any suggestions, let me know soon. I suppose that's all for now... Looking forward to taking your money away, here's Padivius, signing out!

MODS: Would it be possible to divide this thread into three sub-thrwads as follows: PYB Discussion (This thread) PYB Bets PYB Current Bank Totals I'm not sure how this works, do I just ask? I hope so, because I don't know how to ask officially or anything... -Padivius

OK, Players, here is the final recap on all the rules: (Any rules that are new or modified since the original posting of rules are in blue bold) 1) Each player is given a starting bank of $500. 2) Every week, player must wager a certain amount of their remaining bank money on WHICH Survivor will be the next to be eliminated from the game. Any Survivors who have left the game after one episode will be counted as successful bets, regardless of how they left (injury, illness, elimination, disqualification, etc.). If NO Survivors were eliminated, NO money will be lost for bets. 3) At the risk of stating the obvious, bets placed on the eliminated Survivor will add the wagered amount to the Player's bank. Bets cast for any other Survivors will subtract the wagered amount from the Player's bank. 4) The game continues until the Final Four survivors remain (i.e. The episode in which the fifth-place Survivor is voted out is the LAST episode for this game.) OR until there is only one TVCH Player remaining in the game. 5) Bets must be placed in a certain time frame. To prevent time zone discrepancies, the window to place bets is from 7:00 AM PST Friday (or the day following the show) until 11:59 PM PST Wednesday (or the day preceding the show). This change is so that time frames correspond with the time attached to each post by TVCH. 6) Players may bet on as many Survivors as they choose, but remember: For EACH losing bet, you LOSE money. So bet wisely. 7) Players may bet as much or as little money as they wish, however they must bet SOMETHING each week. Should a player fail to place a bet, an amount of $100 will be subtracted automatically from their bank. If a Player bets for more than one Survivor, the TOTAL sum of all the bets must not exceed the value of your bank. 8) All bets MUST be placed in ONE post by each Player each week. Once the bets are placed, player MAY NOT change, alter or revoke any bets placed. Make sure you are sure of your choices before posting. There is NO sympathy to be had for «accidental» votes or mistakes made. 9) Bets for the first episode may be placed beginning on Sunday, January 25th, 2004 at 7:00 Am PST. (N.B. This is one day more than you will have normally.) 10) Bets will be placed in the sub-thread «PYB Bets». Players and observers are asked to please keep all discussion out of that thread to ease the job of me, the calculator. Players and observers are asked to not post at all in the thread «PYB Current Bank Totals», only to refer to it for your totals for the week. 11) Participation has been limited to 18 Players, and no new player will be accepted for this game. FINAL LISTING OF «PLACE YOUR BETS» PLAYERS: Bob2112 Clp Ddr1135 Essence Ginger1218 Grannyg Halfunit Hippyt Jeep Jefe Kappy Lumbele Maris Mocha Pamy Redpen Ruiner Seamonkey And there you have it, Players! Let the games begin! -Padivius

Wow... that was fast... Thank you very much, Mods! Something else to add, which I didn't feel I wanted to put in the Official Rules: VERY IMPORTANT: I will be away will possibility of no computer access from February 11th til February 18th. This means I will miss the February 12th show and I will not be able to calculate your totals. Regarding the bets placed FOR the Feb. 12th show, calculate your total yourself after the airing and keep that total in mind when you place bets for the FOLLOWING week. When I return, I will calculate everything officially and post it for you. I will be back in time to calculate totals from the February 19th wagers. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, some sudden family business has arisen. (Found out myself just this morning!) This should not interrupt the flow of the game too much, and thankfully, it does happen early in the game. Betting opens Sunday, January 25th, 2004 at 7:00 Am PST!!! -Padivius
