Wow Ernie just wow, trying to break the game already? I expected better from a member of CoCk squad.

Ernie was once a Something Awful champion. Now he's a lurking, delayer cheater.

Can we replace Ernie with Jetlam? I feel like Jetlam has better values.

As the man who oversaw Ernie's CoC rise, I invoke my right of wheat and summon Mills to take his place.

Ernie actually lost GWO + O, so he did have those cards.

Somehow I hosed up the OP. Maybe I was sufficiently distracted that I accidentally crossed out the cards he'd submitted for the next round rather than the cards he'd just lost?

:(

Oh, okay. What about the lack of doubling opportunity? Is there a 12hr window he missed?

xopods

I'd consider redoing the round, but it seems to me the error wouldn't have contributed to Some Numbers choosing to up the bid. I mean, believing that Ernie's OOO was out of the game wouldn't make you more inclined to bid lots of Oil, would it?

Ugh, I'm the worst. :( I simply hadn't had my coffee yet this morning and forgot we were playing with doubling.

What do you guys think, should we replay the round?

Some Numbers, do you feel either of these errors was unfair to you? Would you have doubled? Was your decision influenced at all by the incorrect information about Ernie's remaining cards?

I would argue its impact was little, but if SN wants to re-do I won't argue.

No, he can't. He did not win his table. You can drop out.

I agree with merk. Conceding is fine, substituting isn't.

I concur as well.

Yeah. The nature of the game is such that someone dropping out doesn't wreck things for others, so if you want to just drop out, you can.

Is that what you want to do?

To try to move the game along, Ernie came to me in a vision quest of mine. Dude said his cards were like Michael Jackson, ready to moonwalk out of here.

Cards are in. AFP didn't submit an opening bid with his cards, so I'm going to assume he wanted to bid 27 Wheat.

No, JK it is AFP to play.

Since Ernie hasn't submitted his cards, I've given him two at random. If this happens again I'll boot him from the game.

I love how we randomly assigned Ernie cards to move along the game only to get to the exact same "waiting on Ernie" position four hours later. Can we just kick him out?

xopods
Oct 26, 2010

Well, I can't kick him out in the middle of a round. I'll do Byers' thing of making him automatically up the bid by one if 24 hours elapse without him taking his turn. If I have to do that, though, he'll be kicked out after this round.
