Re: Coin Game 4 -- Round 2 will be up tonight. Amys Send a noteboard - 19/11/2010 07:07:57 PM
Between the slight concussion, strep and sinus stuff this week I've been literally out of it.

Sorry.

Amys

I will follow the same rules Isaac and Black Adder used in the previous coin games. That's roughly 48 hours/round, one semi-randomized bid if you forget a round, and automatic elimination if you forget twice. However, in the case of automatic elimination of a player, the TWO lowest bids will receive their money back, not just the lowest (this is so that the person who would have been second lowest is not penalized).

Full Rules (plagiarized from Isaac by way of Black Adder):

Rules
# You start off with 1000 coins
# Every round you NB me how many you want to spend
# If you submit the lowest, you're out
# If you submit the second lowest, you get all coins you spent back that round and you're still in
# If you fail to submit coins, you will receive a strike and a random submission. If you fail to submit again, you will be out.
# If a tie occurs for lowest, both are eliminated, if tied for second, both get refunded, otherwise ties don't matter
# Last person standing wins!

So here's how this will work, we'll do registration for a couple days. Then Play begins, everyone NBs me their value, and when everyone submits or 48 hours pass, the round ends, and I post what everyone bid, what their new totals are, and who got eliminated.

For the semi-randomized bids, I will use the 1d(lowest bid) + 1d(highest bid) formula.

If you're new, see the link below for examples of how this game would work.

The List:
Isaac
Hobo
Gher
beetnemesis
?
Darth_Katie
LadyLorraine
BlackAdder

The first Round will end of Sunday at 5:00pm. Since I'm behind most everyone else (time wise) these will be CST. WooHoo! I was going to use the site time, but that will be too confusing.
If anyone else still wants to join registration will close when the First Round is submitted.

Good Luck!
