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

S23 PTTE: South Pacific

Welcome Back!

It’s time for a new 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 18 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.
Who do you think will win?

Who will be the first Survivor kicked off the island?
Who wins immunity?
Who will survive Redemption Island?
Does Ozzy still swim like a dolphin?
How many dragons will Coach slay?

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 REMAINING boot order for the season.

Starting with the next castaway (#16)
& 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.

Here are the divisions:

Regular PTTE

– Lowest score wins

Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with next booted (#16)
and ending with Sole Survivor (#1)

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 next booted (#3)

Green PTTE (Spoiler-Free)

– Lowest score wins

This is a game for those who want to play spoiler free.
I will run all information through PM’s,
If that is what you would like.
You will not need to visit this thread again.

Please do not post your list in this thread

Click above for Green PTTE Entry]

Send me your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with first booted (#16)
and ending with Sole Survivor (#1)

Most people who play a non-spoiled game score in the middle.
So don’t worry about a low score.
The LOWEST score wins.

Hope to see some new faces.

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

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

4) 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.

5) The game will be open for anyone to join at anytime.

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.

Now on to the Game:

The 2nd castaway who had their flame extinguished in S23 was:

Christine Markowski

The picture above seems to say, I don’t have to deal with Coach any more. She didn’t seem happy to be playing the game.

Let’s sit for a Tribal Council

Does anyone want to change his or her categories?
Do you want to play the Teal game or would you like to play the regular game.

~Corvis is going to be playing the Regular game.
~I, (kircon) am going to switch to the Green game to give Tummy some competition. I made my list spoiler-free. I do not plan on changing it. I will only flip it as I was playing the Teal game.

I will re-score mine & anyone who want to flip sides.
No penalty. Just a chance to change sides.
You may not move Survivors around, just flip them.

You may change your list, but it will cost you an edit.
I will score the first 2 weeks then score the new list this coming week.

You have until game-time to make your decision.

If you would like to do a little more research check out CBS

If you have any questions post them in this thread or PM me.

* Post your list and number them from 1 to 16

You may post or change your lists up to:
7:59 pm EDT on Wednesday, September 28, 2011.
