RFF TAR 16 pick-em game
« on: February 08, 2010, 10:47:38 PM »

As promised this is the link everyone needs to play in this game.

If you have registered before there's no reason to register again.
If you have not registered ..
please remember your forum name and password will not work for the game unless you choose to do so.


Well I am told its that special time of the year when my man crush for Phil gets 11 (maybe 12) episodes to express itself.  It also means its time for the RFF Pick'em Game.

The game isn't up yet (hopefully tomorrow, site willing) but here is a friendly reminder that it will be starting this week.

Tomorrow at the very least the first week's questions (and thank you God that it's just one damn episode!) will be posted.  Unlike last year, I am going back to a standard 200 point week.  Each week 200 glorious points (of which I will be lucky to get half) will be up for grabs.  Once the site is ready, A link will be added so that players can register (if they haven't already or if they want to change their name so I don't hate on them all season).  

Some general notes.

1.  No question (except for the week of the final which will be 400 points) will be over 15 points.

2.  Canadians under 21 years of age, suck.  Its a known fact.

3.  All players can challenge any question, in fact I encourage it.  But when I say I have made a final decision it is final.

4.  Georgia is the worst state in the union, in fact they should secede!

5.  If you have any question concerning a question you can PM me, where you will get a private answer, or you can ask in this thread where you answer will be public.

6.  And because I never make mistakes (Ok shut it!!), for the first time ever I will give out 1 point for anytime I give an incorrect answer (a certain player will probably win just from this).  This will be totaled each week and added to the final total.  And of course, I am the only player who will get no benefit from this.

7.  Hooky must die.  It will be sudden yet brutal!  Mark my words.

8.  I will also include at least one 5 point question each week that is free points just to see what we think of the teams, the stunts, the episodes, and the racers.

9.  All answers will be decided by the aired footage in the episode, not the clips (as much as I love them), unless (see their is always an exception) the question concerns something that is normally part of the clips (for example last year it was about the elimination station).

10. It was the Peach, not the apple that was the ruin of man!

I promise I am still alive. My account number is still 5724 if you don't believe me! :lol:

And no, I don't think I want to die. I won't back down easily, although my obsession with unpredictability may undermine my defense of myself! :lol3:

Yeah, it was kind of "dated," so I decided this nickname would be better. But I'm not going to make a new game account.

It's nice to have you back, mswood! :wohoo:

I've never played this before... Is there any other thread that leads to that game in past editions? I mean, you said you were returning to the 200 point week, so I suppose that was not used in TAR15? I would like to know if someone could aid me a bit? Thanks!

Well the game is finally up.  I have updated the first post with a link, that will take you to the game, first you need to sign in (or if its your first time create a new sign in), once you have done that you can play on this week's game.  Remember you must always sign in.  If you don't (it looks like you can put in answers), your answers will not be counted.

And for reference here are this week's questions (the answers in the game itself might be changed slightly to correct errors, or to clarify).

I try (which usually lasts for about 5 weeks) to get the next week's questions in late Tuesday night.  

On Monday (after the race) I will list what I believe is the correct answer, then feel free to jump on me like a pack of ravenous wolves to correct any mistakes I make (like that will happen, ok it will happen a lot).  After this review process I will then score the game, remember it is still possible for me too enter a wrong answer in the game (So catching those errors will also get you 1 bonus point per error), and post a weekly game total (to see how we all scored during that week, then (well except for this first week), the overall leader board results for all the weeks that have occurred.

Do you mean what position they are in when they receive the penalty or when they commit the rule violation? These are two different things.

What position they are in when they break the rule (not when they are told they have a penalty).

For example in season 6, next to last episode.  Hayden gave up on a roadblock (when she gave up is when she broke the rule), but she wasn't given the penalty until they arrived at the Pit Stop.

I think on foot would be "personal transportation" not "public transportation."

I noticed that the game locks answers on Feb 13th at 7:55pm EST........so you are locking it up a 24 hours ahead of time? Isnt the premier on Feb 14th at 7:55 pm EST?
