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 - Wk6 Results / Wk7 Entry" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-04-09 AT 11:09 PM (EST)A Bad BeatThat was a rough finish for the poker girls, Maria & Tiffany. They went from one Detour task they couldn't compete to another. It's weird to think about what would've happened if they hadn't have included that strongman's bell before the dance Detour. It was actually kinda weird that they had three separate mini-tasks in one Detour option. I get the vibe that the producers realized that the dancing alone was too easy. Week 6 Results 1st place - Sam/Dan (2x) 2nd place - Meghan/Cheyne (1.5x) 3rd place - FlightTime/BigEasy (1x) 4th place - Gary/Matt (.9x) 5th place - Brian/Ericka (.6x) 6th place - Maria/Tiffany (0x) ...Well, that was a weird week of scoring. In terms of wagers, there were a lot of different schools of thought. In fact, each of the teams (except Maria/Tiffany) got a lot of wagers. Now that the poker girls are gone, it should be really interesting to see where the wagers fall. We also had a new bonus game. After doing PAT and Lucky 7 all the time, I forget what it's like to try out a new game. So there was a little confusion over the rules, but generally things went well. We did have one player bust of out the game, AddieRacer. Thanks for playing, AddieRacer. It's good to see you play, season after season, and I hope to see you next year!  The Perfect Bet Award goes to sarah1234 (2.28x), who narrowly beat jbenz (2.26x) for the award. Way to go! The Greatest Gainer Award also goes to sarah1234 for jumping 10 ranks to #17. Weez and louislam were also big movers, leaping 9 ranks to #5 and #8. Leaderboard 1. ARNutz - 349 2. jbenz - 335 3. Jims02 - 271 4. Starshine - 270 5. Weez - 266 6.

AddieRacer - 0 These kinds of leaderboards make me prefer the Limit game to the No-Limit game. The max is 349 and there are a lot of scores over 100 right now. Week 7 Payout Table 1st - 2x 2nd - 1.5x 3rd - Break even 4th - .5x 5th - 0x Max Individual Bet - 130 points Bonus Pick - Time spread between Sam/Dan & Brian/Ericka Bonus Game - Mini-wagers!Here is really like casino now, you can have so many things to bet on! - louislam, 11/01/09 louislam had no idea what was coming next. This week, it's all about keywords. Players may place a wager on which team will say a certain word first. The recaps don't count, we're talking the stuff after the credits. What are the different words, you ask? Here's the list. 1. Explosion 2. Bale 3. Direction 4. Taxi 5. Run ("running", "runs" or a verb version accepted) 6. Phil 7. Maria 8. "Shut up" (full expression) 9. Obsequious 10. "Clue box" ("clue" and "box" not accepted) 11. Tired 12. "We're lost" (full expression) 13. Detour 14. Roadblock 15. Mat Each individual wager may not exceed 7 points. You may wager on as many different words as you'd like, and you may separate wager on as many teams as you want for each keyword. Remember, the correct answer is going to be based on which team says the word first, so there's only going to be one correct pick for each. But, if you want to spread around your wagers on one word, be my guest. Plurals count as saying the word (i.e. "bales" "explosions" "clue boxes"). If no team says the word, then there is no correct answer and all wagers are losers. Make sure to label 1) which word you're betting on, 2) which team, and 3) how many points. A sample bonus wager could look like: Run - 7 points - Brian/Ericka "Shut Up" - 7 points - FlightTime/BigEasy Roadblock - 7 points - Brian/Ericka Bale - 7 points - Sam/Dan Your wagers will be subject to the following bonus payout table. Bonus Payout Table Correct Answer - 5x Incorrect Answer - 0x Maximum Individual Bet - 7 points TAR14 Teams Remaining Brian/Ericka FlightTime/BigEasy Gary/Matt Maria/Tiffany Meghan/Cheyne Sam/Dan Good luck everyone! Remember to make a Time Bonus pick too if you want to be Guest Pitboss!   Could this be the first TAR Casino Game with no PAT Bonus game?

1. "Payout Table Construction" |
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 - (This is assuming they eliminate a team on Sunday. If they don't, add 5th place on there.) 2. 1st place must be 2x and last place must be 0x. 3. The payout multipliers must either decrease or remain the same as you go down the payout list. It may never increase as you go down the list. Therefore, you can't do something like... 1st place - 2x 2nd place - .5x 3rd place - 1.5x 4th place - 0x That would be pretty mean if you did do that anyway. We'll save that scenario for potentially later in the season.  You could do a 2x/2x/0x/0x if you felt like it, though. 4. The sum of the multipliers must equal the number of rankings. If there's 4 teams left next week, the multipliers have to add up to 4. If there's still 5, they have to add to 5. 1st place - 2x 2nd place - 1.5x 3rd place - .5x 4th place - 0x 2 + 1.5 + .5 = 4 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!  A 2003 IceCat original

LAST EDITED ON 11-06-09 AT 04:54 PM (EST)~~36. Molaholic - 33~~ Just cruising along in neutral. Maybe we could have a special rule and let bet the maximum even if we don't have the scratch... Anywho -- I'll plop down 20 on Flight Time & Big Easy and 10 on Brian & Erica. Departure time -- 198 minutes. (3:18 for the mathematically/chronologically challenged) Mini bets -- 3 on the Flight&Easy to say "run". I'll take my massage now, thankyouverymuch.

44. "VisionQuest wins!" |
The correct time spread was 4 hours, 5 minutes and VisionQuest was closest, being merely 2 minutes away. Actually, there were 4 or 5 people who were really close!VisionQuest, make sure to make your payout table and send it to me by Tuesday night. Also, be sure to pick one of the following bonus games. 1. PAT, the Painfully Average Team. Players will make wagers on which team will finish 3rd next week. 2. Minority Rules. I'll post four point totals, and players will decide which bonus they want to have. Whoever votes for the option that gets the fewest votes will win the bonus amount. Everyone else will get zero. 3. The Clock Game. I'll post several specific times (like Friday 6:34 PM) and if you make your wager at exact that time (without editing later), you'll receive bonus points.  A 2003 IceCat original
