Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Question: Are we free to add to a prediction next week if it doesn't come true this week? I would assume yes, but that might be unnecessarily confusing for our Dungeon Master.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

This week you've got a budget of $24 among 10 predictions.

Next week, you'll have a budget of $X among Y predictions, as well as the money you won from this week. But you have to use your entire winnings each week.

You can't make a prediction on 1 through 10 after today at 8PM EST. Next week will be predictions 11 through 20. Some of the predictions may re-appear with higher or lower odds.

That's how I envisioned it originally at least. I hope it doesn't get hopelessly complicated to keep track of.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Take this prediction, for example:
Say that doesn't happen this week and everyone's wager on {009} pushes. Will I be able to increase my wager on {009} by applying some of those X dollars or is it locked to the original amount?

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

I'm in:

$12 - {006} Walt appears. (13:1)
$12 - {007} John Locke is referred to by someone as Jeremy Bentham (or Jeremy or Mr. Bentham). (5:1)

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game

$4 {009} At least three of the Oceanic Six make it back to the island. (4:1)

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Nope.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

A or B == Nope :hscratch:

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

You can't.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Sorry for all the questions, but just want to make it smooth as possible in the future. :)

If a person wins money in a given week, you say they have to use it all the following week - so if, for example, Penny dies tonight, and a person won $400 on that bet, they have to spend all $400 next week? I guess it keeps people from banking big winnings and trying to "hold on" to a lead?

Thanks again. :up:

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

<s>This week, only {009} came true. This week's winners:</s>

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Locke was referred to as Bentham by the airline guy. Doesn't count?

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Not just that, but as MR. BENTHAM.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

I may have another contest, as well...gotta check something...

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Was he? I didn't notice. If so, I will update.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Nope, don't think so on the second one I thought I saw.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Yeah, I'm positive, I rechecked it. Check the airline courtesy guy behind the counter who's talking about Jack taking "Mr. Bentham's" body to Guam, right before that terrorist lookin' dude offers his condolences to Jack.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

I bet $2 on it, shouldn't I get $8?

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Indeed. I was ecstatic to hear it happen too as I was listening for it. This game added a whole new level of interest. Good going, Bus!

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Makes sense. It was the ~20 seconds I missed of the episode since I was out of the room.

Updating...

Damn. I was doing better when only 009 came true.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Bus, you skipped over me!

Post #31

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

But he doesn't know who Locke is, so he was only referring to Bentham, and was not referring to Locke as Bentham.

:p

Like I care, as I'm stlll at $0 either way. I can't believe all that mumbo jumbo in the Lamppost didn't feature the numbers.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

I'm still surprised Aaron didn't come with everybody else to the Island. That's all that kept 10 from coming true.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

Who do you think the guy who spoke to Jack at the airport was?

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

LOL can't believe none of my picks came true. Ah well. Glad it was virtual cash. :P

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 

OK, here's a question for everyone. Obviously not everyone will be able to play every week. What happens if you skip a week? Obviously that week's "free" cash you don't get (the one everyone gets every week).
