PTTE: The longest running game at Blows!

Are you ready for some PTTE?

What's a PTTE, you ask?

Well, PTTE is short for "Picks To The End"

It is a boot list prediction game.

It is a game about the order of who IS kicked off each week
NOT who is brought back

Redemption Island does not matter in the game of PTTE!!!

S23 PTTE: South Pacific

Welcome Back!

We’re close to the end of this season of Survivor.
The 23rd to be exact.
Can you believe it?

We are back in the South Pacific
An ocean full of islands
and that troublesome Redemption Island.
Of which I will pay no attention!!!
Promise!!!

There are 6 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.
Plus a few on that troublesome island.
Who do you think will win?
Who will be the next Survivor kicked off the island?
Who wins immunity?

Those are a few of the questions of this game.

Here are the divisions:

Regular PTTE

– Lowest score wins

Medium Teal PTTE

– Highest score wins

Green PTTE (Spoiler-Free)

– Lowest score wins

Okay... how do you play:

SCORING:
Just the highlights!

1) You do NOT want points...they're bad... it's like golf,
unless you are playing the MEDIUM TEAL game,
then you want all the points you can get.

2) Points will be awarded as the difference between
where you thought this week's castaway would finish
and where the castaway actually finished.

3) You will be given penalty points every time you change your PTTE list.

+5 points for regular & green game
-5 points for medium teal game

Now on to the Game:

The 13th castaway to have their flame extinguished in S23 was:

John Cochran

This Woody Allen incarnate said he was neurotic, insecure and brilliant. He was right on the first two. I would have given him brilliant if he had been able to figure out the reasons why other people do the things they do. His words.

Tie-Breaker Bonus Questions

Because of the nature of this game,
I need to find some type of tie-breaker that is individual.
This has worked the past few seasons.

Everyone--Regular, Medium Teal, & Green players alike— MUST send me a private message containing the following:

1. The order in which the jury will ASK their final questions.
First to ask a question is #1.

2. The order in which the jury will VOTE.
First to vote is #1.

3. The person that each jury member will vote for.

4. How will they show Jeff arriving?

5. Tell me a number from 1-100.

Now, for the scoring:
You do not lose points if you get the questions wrong.
You do not gain points if you get the questions correct.
This is only for tie-breaking.

*I am giving 1 point for (each) correct order of the asking of the final questions.

*I am giving 1 point for (each) correct order of the voting order.

*I am giving 1 point for (each) correct paring of jury member and their correct vote.

*I am giving 1 point for a correct answer for #4.

*I am giving 1 point for coming within 5 numbers (either side) of the number my husband picked.

Every two points that you gain from this Bonus (all 5
questions) deducts (adds for Teal) one point from your final score.

This does not change your score just several additional tie-breakers.

Odd-Point Recipient

It is possible to get an odd number of points.
You may use your one point to add (subtract for Teal)
a point to any player of your choice.

They do not lose or gain a point; it is for tie-breaking.

{Hint: you want to give the OPR to the player you believe you could be in a tie with}

Please PM the Bonus to me by Sat Dec 3,
New Date: December 7th, 11:59 PM, Central Time

Good Luck and as always: Have Fun!

I thought this was due today. Should I bother to send?

I will accept it

I didn't receive a confirmation, but I did send mine ...

Didn't I?

I wouldn't swear to anything ... anymore.
