"S24 One World PTTE Entry"
Posted by kircon on 02-09-12 at 08:24 PM
PTTE was born September 28, 2001, during the S3 Africa season. sleeve created this fun game for RTVW’s enjoyment. Drich61 stepped in to continue the fun. The Mistress emydi stepped up next and added a little more to the game. During S13 Cook Island three host took turns; myself, Xwraith, and emydi. I took over hosting duties with the beginning of S14 Fiji. Today, I am posting the 22th version. I am hosting my 12th season of Survivor PTTE. Where has the time gone? There have been many additions to this game; today I am changing things a bit. I am hoping to lighten the rules.

PTTE: The longest running game at Blows!

Are you ready for some PTTE?

What's a PTTE, you ask? Well PTTE means:

"Picks To The End"



S24 PTTE: One World

Welcome Back!

It’s time for a new season of Survivor.
The 24nd to be exact.
Can you believe it?

We are still in the South Pacific
On the island of Samoa
On one beach
Two tribes, one beach
Now this we can sink our teeth into

The best news is
No Redemption
You don’t know how happy that makes me!!!

There are 18 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.

Who do you think will win?
Who will be the first Survivor kicked off?
Where will everyone else place?

Those are a few of the questions of this game.

To start this game you will need to

Post a list that reflects your prediction
about the ENTIRE boot order for the season.

Starting with the first castaway (#18)
& ending with the winner (#1).

Unless you play the Teal game.

This doesn't need to have any analysis,
although you're welcome to throw in anything you want...
this is a game and is intended to be fun.



To start you on your way here are your contestants:

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I’m athletic, competitive, know how to play a smart game, love the outdoors and am easy to get along with.

Pet Peeves: When people have poor follow-up skills.
3 Words to Describe You: Fearless, unstoppable and empowering.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m very great at delegating, instructing, leading, organizing and problem solving. I can build a fire, fish, spear fish (sort of) and build shelter.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Survivor needs a funny, goofy and cute Asian girl! It’s time to represent.



Colton Cumbie (21) Monroeville, Ala.

3 Words to Describe You: Adorable, entertaining and opinionated.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I live my life as I if I’m playing Survivor! I have a strategy for everything. Hell, the way I got my boyfriend was a strategy.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I don’t believe, I know! There has never been anyone with the social skills and charisma I possess on this show. I’m confident, hilarious, athletic, good looking, adorable and I have good teeth with a hint of Southern charm. What more could you want?



Greg Smith (64) Houston, Texas
Occupation: Plastic Surgeon

Pet Peeves: Inequity and deceit.
3 Words to Describe You: Creative, childlike, (but not childish) and honorable.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Coach Ben Wade – he seems to be a romantic, adventurer, poetic and creative.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m of the jungle and part of nature.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Other than the misfortunes of contretemps, I hope to outwit, outplay, outlast.



Jay Byars (25) Gaffney, S.C.

Pet Peeves: Smacking gum, bad breath and clingy texters.
3 Words to Describe You: Active, daring and charming.

Occupation: Sushi Chef

Pet Peeves: People that constantly complain.
3 Words to Describe You: Passionate, determined and motivated.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I know how to fish, make fire, shelter and cook amazing food.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe I could be the final Survivor because I have a proven track record of doing what I set out to achieve. I can make fire, build shelter, cook and get along with people to win their votes.



Kat Edorsson (22) Orlando, Fla.
Occupation: Timeshare Rep
Pet Peeves: Long lines at the DMV, seat belts on airplanes, girly girls and small children with leashes.
3 Words to Describe You: Competitive, eager and passionate.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My skills to manipulate and socialize will ultimately help me survive Survivor. I have always taken the “leader role” with my friends, family and co-workers. I build relationships, talk my way out of tickets, and socialize my way to the top. My skill set is very strong and it comes to me naturally, like breathing. I definitely think I will be an important member of the group.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: My life has already played this game and I won. I have faced life and death situations at a very young age. I’m a fighter and I’ll never quit. I’m very good at getting my way, talking people into things and ultimately marketing and selling myself. I may be a 22-year-old blonde but I’m much tougher than I look. I want to be the youngest female to ever win the game!



Kim Spradlin (29) San Antonio, Texas
Occupation: Bridal Shop Owner

Pet Peeves: Speed bumps, corny humor, people who honk to reprimand rather than as a warning, and really bad bridesmaid dresses (there’s no reason for that, really).
3 Words to Describe You: Passionate, warm and clever.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My mental toughness, wicked throwing arm (for a girl), and people sometimes underestimate my sneakiness.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe in treating all people with respect and honor. Why would you vote off someone who respects you?



Kourtney Moon (29) Austin, Texas
Occupation: Motorcycle Repair

Pet Peeves: I’ve had bad, bad experiences with people who have low moral codes. I just have NO patience for hypocrisy and folks who regularly enjoy the smell of their own farts. Lack of respect for monogamy is a huge pet peeve of mine, as well as people who chew others and spit them out simply because they can... basically, sociopaths and narcissists.
3 Words to Describe You: Creative, scatter-brained and impulsive.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have great diplomatic skills and I’m a good mediator. I often see a person’s positive side over the negative, which makes me very forgiving and accepting. I have no problem leading, following, or getting out of the way when appropriate.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because nothing in this world makes any sense whatsoever and anything really IS possible.



Leif Manson (27) San Diego, Calif.
Occupation: Phlebotomist

Pet Peeves: Being taken advantage of and back-stabbers.
3 Words to Describe You: Agile, adventurous and perseverant.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I am knowledgeable about the wilderness; I can tell direction without a compass regardless of day or night. I can fish and build fire without using modern tools. I’m definitely a handy man and very physically fit and strong.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because I am beyond willing, ready and able to “outwit, outplay and outlast” all the others.



Matt Quinlan (33) San Francisco, Calif.
Occupation: Attorney

Pet Peeves: Complaining, pessimism and over-the-top subjectivity.
3 Words to Describe You: Ambitious, optimistic and dependable.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’ll die out there before I quit. The only way I am leaving that island is with a tag on my toe or with a snuffed torch.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think I have a lot of attributes that will help me succeed in the game: athleticism, charisma, smarts, etc. That said, these things are also going to make me a target in the game of Survivor, so figuring out how to use these traits in a non-intimidating way will be the key to my success.



Michael Jefferson (30) Seattle, Wash.
Occupation: Banker

Pet Peeves: Annoying eaters, bad breath, people who grunt while working out, and people that “need” a cigarette.
3 Words to Describe You: A leader, ambitious and organized.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I am a natural leader who knows when to keep my mouth shut. People always listen to my opinions and I am a hard worker. I am very much a people person and with all the back-stabbing that goes on with Survivor, I don’t see it happening to me.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I am a very driven person and can usually get what I want. I am a natural leader but will gladly step aside to take the spotlight off of me. I am also a very persuasive person who has learned to keep your enemies close so that it’s easier to control and predict their movements. I am unstoppable!!



Monica Culpepper (41) Tampa, Fla.
Occupation: Ex-NFL Player’s Wife

Pet Peeves: People who are two-faced, unappreciative and lazy. Also, messy cars!
3 Words to Describe You: Loyal, tenacious and gritty.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I am enthusiastic, pleasant to be around and a great motivator. I’m like a chameleon; I can get along with all kinds of people. Being great at multi-tasking, I am able to process and calculate clearly under stress.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I’m never afraid to go out on a limb when it comes to getting something I want.



Nina Acosta (51) Clovis, Calif.
Occupation: Retired LAPD Officer

Pet Peeves: I hate whining, being called a “girl” and rude drivers.
3 Words to Describe You: Tenacious, competitive and confident.

Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I thrive on being a team player; I have a never-quit attitude and I can deal with pain and discomfort.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: In 1991 and 1993 I competed for the S.W.A.T. Team. Both times the two week tryouts took place in Camp Pendleton and I was the only woman competing against 19 men. There were 40 S.W.A.T. officers judging the process. Neither the competitors nor the S.W.A.T. members wanted me there. I had to mentally, emotionally and physically challenge myself everyday.



Sabrina Thompson (33) Brooklyn, N.Y.
Occupation: High School Teacher

Pet Peeves: People who put leashes on kids! Really?! Also, people who enter elevators or subways before others exit, people who spit and guys that constantly adjust their genitals.
3 Words to Describe You: Blunt, versatile and athletic.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: My skills as a supreme persuader because I used to book guests for talk shows. I adapt to all personalities since I teach high school in Brooklyn and my athleticism and excellent communication ability.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I have a superb balance of wit, athleticism and social charisma. I know how to stroke egos and get people to do what I want…then go for the kill when they least expect it.



Troy Robertson (50) Miami, Fla.
Occupation: Swimsuit Photographer

Pet Peeves: People that constantly text while I’m having a conversation with them, bad drivers and women with manly hands.
3 Words to Describe You: Adventurous, determined and entertaining.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m a true outdoorsman. I can make a fire with two sticks. I am a swimmer and a natural born leader. I have the ability to make people the best they can be. I have great animal instincts and swim like a dolphin.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I believe it’s my destiny. Truthfully, because I believe 100% that Survivor was created for me. I’ve been waiting 10 years and nothing will stop me! I have the skills and energy for every single category played on Survivor. There is not a single person on this planet more suited for this adventure!



Now that you have met the Survivors, it is time to make your list.

Here are the divisions:

There will only be two this season

Regular PTTE

– Lowest score wins

Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with first booted (#18)
and ending with Sole Survivor (#1)

If you want to play spoiler-free, enter the regular game and I will keep you posted with PM’s (private messages).

Medium Teal PTTE

– Highest score wins

Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with the Sole Survivor (#18)
and ending with first booted (#1)



Okay... how do you play:

SCORING:

1) You do NOT want points...they're bad... it's like golf.
Every point counts against you in the standings, so try to avoid them,
unless you are playing the MEDIUM TEAL game.
then you want all the points you can get.

2) Points will be awarded to each boot, after each episode.

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

3) There will be several tie-breaker questions.
Check back to catch them. I will also send out a PM to alert you.
I have used several tie-breaker questions the last few seasons
to break ties and even determine a winner.


4) Entry is always open!
Entry is free for the first two weeks.

If you do not enter before the 2nd episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 (-8) points per episode you missed. That means that it's possible to join the game after several episodes and
enter in first place, but statistically speaking, you'll have a better chance if you enter earlier.

NEW

5) List Changes

I have been racking my brain for the last few seasons, to try to come up with a fair game. I have made several changes along the way to improve our oldest game. Again, I believe I have found a way to even up the chasm between spoiled and unspoiled, one-list and 6 list changes.

* Enter before February 15, 6:59 pm central and receive a free list change.

* 2nd week February 22: Anyone can change their list or enter free.

* From week 3 and on, you may only change your list on these dates

* February 29: Anyone may change a list for 5 (-5) points.
Free edits may be used.

* March 21: Anyone may change a list for 10 (-10) points.
Free edits may be used. Last time.

Not sure of exact dates yet:
* Three weeks from the end of Wednesday shows
Anyone may change a list for 15 (-15) points.
No free edits

*Last two Wednesday shows & Finale show
Anyone may change their list for 20 (-20) points.
No free edits

*I will send out a PM message reminding you of a list change event.

I hope this is clear. First two weeks are free to change.
Bonus of Free Edit for first week’s list. May not be used after March 21.
4 specific weeks to change your list.
You may not change a list in-between those weeks.
Last 2 weeks you can change your list for a high amount of points.
Points increase by 5 for each list change.



If you have any questions, post them in this thread or PM me.
(Private Message located top right on page, larger envelope icon.)

Post your list and number them from 1 to 18
You may change your list as many times as you want,
up to the deadline Feb 15 6:59 pm, central.
I will use the last list at the time of deadline.

Sit back, buckle up and enjoy the premiere of:

S24 PTTE: One World

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

"An Explanation"
Posted by kircon on 02-16-12 at 04:03 PM
I’m not sure why you are miffed, sad, and feeling picked on. The changes had nothing to do with you or any other player.

This game has lost many players. For several seasons, I have been looking for a way to incorporate spoiled and non-spoiled players without running two games. I miss when there were more players and more competition. I love hosting and am willing to devote several hours of my week to do this. I do not feel I have destroyed the game; it is still about the PICKS, not the changes. Just as Redemption had nothing to do with this game, “it’s about who is booted not who is brought back”. What you see as complicated, I see as competition. Anyone still can change a list on certain dates it will just cost you. Everyone is at the same disadvantage, which is the level playing ground. I still want the Teals to break 100 points and I would love to see the regular game winner under 20. Will it happen? I don’t know. But I know to win the game a player has to be wise with their list changes. If you all change your list, it doesn’t matter. But now you all have to watch out for the players who don’t change a list. I don’t want anyone to stress. I stand by this quote I have used since I have been hosting the PTTE Game:

This doesn't need to have any analysis,
although you're welcome to throw in anything you want...
this is a game and is intended to be fun.

"RE: An Explanation"
Posted by vennui on 02-18-12 at 02:16 AM
I'm miffed. Because the rule changes spoils the way I wanted to play the game.

I'm sad because I missed the deadline to earn a free edit. ( my fault I am running a book fair and had to work late.

I felt picked on because I didn't understand your use of the term uneven ground. Your reasons to change the rules were very sound but your first presentation gave me the impression that you felt that players were taking unfair advantage.

Yes I know that is probably irrational ,but remember we are all daws here and it is probably a natural reaction.

I'm sorry but it just hit me wrong. The other games running now seem very complicated . I don't need more deadlines.
