This is a bluffing card game that was designed by yours truly. It can pretty fairly be described as Liar's Dice with cards, although players have more tactical options available to them than in that classic game. Rather than try to summarize the game, I'll just link you to the rules:

Download the Rules PDF here!

We will be playing with the Classic rules listed in the rulebook. The Doubling rule will be used at final table!!!, but not in the preliminary round.

Each player starts the round with the following 10 cards:

One Gold
One Wheat
One Oil
Three Gold
Three Wheat
Three Oil
Two Gold + Two Wheat
Two Gold + Two Oil
Two Wheat + Two Oil
One Gold + One Wheat + One Oil



When messaging me the cards you're investing, you can use G, W and O as shorthand, e.g. GGWW = the card with Two Gold + Two Wheat.

------

The tournament is "shootout" format, meaning it will consist of several tables with an equal number of players at each. Probably four tables of four, but we'll see how many people we get. The winner from each table will then proceed to the final table to play for the championship!

There are four of us moderating the game, and all four of us are also playing. We will of course not be moderating the same table we're playing at.

The winner of the tournament will receive a free copy of the game! (Signed or not, as you prefer.)

All usual rules for forums play-by-post gameplay apply: don't edit your posts, don't toxx or play any truth-or-dare style metagames, don't talk to other players about the game out-of-thread.

:siren: SUPER IMPORTANT :siren:

Please note that the DOUBLING RULE is in effect at final table. Please check the instructions to remind yourself how it works.

If someone has sold on you and you don't want to double, please say so! (Flip'em or No double or something to that effect). If you don't double within 24 hours I'll flip the cards anyway, but in the interests of keeping things moving, it's best to let me know as soon as you've decided not to double.

Is the order in the OP the order we'll be using for the game? This is relevant to my choice of starting cards.

Cards are in! Sorry for the delay, I didn't check the thread and didn't realize Some Numbers had asked a question and was waiting for an answer before sending his cards.

apostateCourier bids 5 Wheat

Some Numbers is up.

(The answer is yes, the order of play has already been RNGed and is as given in the OP, so after SN, it'll be Ernie., then merk, then AFP, then back to apostate).

Apo seems very unsure of how high he can go in Oil

Maybe it is a sign

I just bluffed hard.

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

I have no oil in play (GGG WWW), Diqnol says he bluffed, Apo only raised a single oil (meaning he probably has little oil in play).

Unless merk and Some Numbers collectively have 10 oil ... I'd say it's safe to sell

Sell.

Good for you, I don't care.

Trash talking and double bluffs don't actually affect the outcome.

The outcome where you'll lose again?

Some Numbers

"LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"
I get that you get a kick out of double bluffing, but it doesn't actually affect my decision. It's not like I can say "sell" and you can say "I played XX" and I can go "oh whoops, I'll take it back because you intimidated me."

The game doesn't work like that.

Diqnol
May 10, 2010

Doubling is still in play, though.

Some Numbers
Sep 28, 2006

"LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"
While that is a potentially relevant point, it doesn't explain why your preliminary table engaged in so much WIFOM that the thread was rendered unreadable.

Now? Sure, I guess, maybe. Without doubling in effect?

It was super transparent, agreed. I was actually hoping he was thinking I'd double fakeout.

If you guys hadn't said anything I would have doubled it.

I figured, but I wanted some numbers to take first blood as previously stated.

I'm also fairly transparently ignoring what you guys tell me.

Or maybe it's not transparent, but now it's explicit.
