PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"TAR15 Casino Game - Wk2 Results / Wk3 Entry" |
Smashy Smashy!That Roadblock was interesting to say the least. Usually, on The Amazing Race, teams are rewarded if they stay meticulous and detail-oriented. But not this week. Clearly, this Roadblock showed that a little aggression can work wonders. And a hammer helps too. Just don't try it at home. My VCR will never be the same.  Episode 3 Results
1st place - FlightTime/BigEasy (2x)
2nd place - Meghan/Cheyne (1.5x)
3rd place - Gary/Matt (1.3x)
4th place - Brian/Ericka (1.2x)
5th place - Sam/Dan (1.1x)
6th place - Maria/Tiffany (.9x)
7th place - Mika/Canaan (.8x)
8th place - Zev/Justin (.7x)
9th place - Lance/Keri (.5x)
10th place - Marcy/Ron (0x) Spiffy.Good week for scoring. Very few people managed to score negative for the week, and a bunch of people doubled their scores. We also had a few new players join the game. Welcome to Silver03, dragonflies, chiubakka, and 5cats to the game.  The Perfect Bet Award goes to the player who makes the best overall wager for the week. This week, it's a three-way tie between esquire, Starshine, and ARNutz, who each doubled their scores. Way to go!The Greatest Gainer Award goes to the player who moves up the most ranks in a single week. This week's winner is CTgirl, who managed to climb 23 ranks to #14 overall. Other big movers were esquire (19 ranks), taffnic (18 ranks), and Wallflower66 (16 ranks). Awesome. Leaderboard

46. 4nikk8 - 6 Through this week and next, the TAR Casino Game is still open to new entrants. Check out last week's post for the full rules. The only change to this week is that new players will start with 10 points. This season, I have left the Payout Table construction to the winner of the weekly bonus game. The correct answer to the bonus was 44 minutes. The closest guess came from our very own FFantasyFX, with a guess of 47 minutes. Therefore, FFantasyFX is Pitboss of the Week and gets to choose the Payout Table. Here is the Payout Table that FFantasyFX has chosen. It is appropriately named (by its author) the Heaven, Purgatory, Hell Payout table (aka Dante Alighieri Table).  Week 3 Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.9x
3rd place - 1.8x
4th place - 1.1x
5th place - Break even
6th place - .9x
7th place - .2x
8th place - .1x
9th place - 0xMax Individual Bet - 30 points (Yes, we've gone with the "scary tables" early this year. Hey, don't blame me.)  Make sure that none of your individual wagers exceed 30 points. If you have more than 30 right now, you'll have to spread around your bets a little if you want to wager everything. TAR14 Teams Remaining
Brian/Ericka
FlightTime/BigEasy
Gary/Matt
Lance/Keri
Maria/Tiffany
Meghan/Cheyne
Mika/Canaan
Sam/Dan
Zev/Justin Remember, the same bonus game is still going on, so make sure to add your Time Bonus if you want to be Pitboss of the Week. It's the time spread between Flight Time/Big Easy's departure and Lance/Keri's. And, as always, good luck!

2. "Payout Table Construction" |
LAST EDITED ON 10-07-09 AT 08:49 PM (EST)This post is a guide for the person who wins the Bonus Game this week. Think of it as a weekly reference guide. The rules will change throughout the season as the game gets a little looser. After the new episode airs, I'll post the correct answer in this thread, identify the winner, and send a private message to that individual. The winner has until the following Tuesday night (midnight) to contact me with their Payout Table for the following week. They can either post it in this thread or send me a private message if they want to be secretive. If the winner doesn't contact me with their Payout Table by Tuesday night, I will create the next Payout Table instead. Payout Table Rules(These may change throughout the season when we get farther into the game.) 1. Your Table must have a ranking for all the potential rankings of the teams. Use the format that I use. 1st place -
2nd place -
3rd place -
4th place -
5th place -
6th place -
7th place -
8th place - (This is assuming they eliminate a team on Sunday. If they don't, add 9th place on there.) 2. 1st place must be 2x and last place must be 0x. 3. The payout multipliers must decrease as you go down the rankings list. Therefore, you can't do something like... 1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.8x
3rd place - .3x
4th place - 1.2x That would be pretty mean if you did do that anyway. We'll save that scenario for potentially later in the season. 4. The sum of the multipliers must equal the number of rankings. If there's 8 teams left next week, the multipliers have to add up to 8. If there's still 9, they have to add to 9. 1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.7x
3rd place - 1.4x
4th place - 1.1x
5th place - .9x
6th place - .6x
7th place - .3x
8th place - 0x 2 + 1.7 + 1.4 + 1.1 + .9 + .6 + .3 + 0 = 8 Think of it as the good payouts balancing out the bad payouts. 5. No negative multiplier numbers. Man, why would you do that to a person? 6. Round each decimal to the tenths-point. No 1.24235245x payouts. 1.2x will do just fine, thank you. If you follow these rules, your Payout Table will be accepted. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
