Cash or Crash A bluffing game for 2-8 players Players at this  FINAL TABLE :apostateCourier (2) RED ZONE ELIMINATED ELIMINATED merk (6) G, W, O, anime gently caress pillow (2) RED ZONE -------  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. xopods fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Jul 29, 2014 |

SUPER IMPORTANT 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.

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).

Just so everyone knows, Ernie. is the terrible person keeping everyone waiting. If he doesn't have his cards in by this evening I'll give him two at random.

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?

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?

anime gently caress pillow posted:Oh, okay. What about the lack of doubling opportunity? Is there a 12hr window he missed? 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?

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?

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. apostateCourier bids 8 Oil Some Numbers is up. (I see AFP is probated, but he can submit his action by PM when it's his turn.)

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.

Sorry guys, just an editing fail. The totals and the result were correct, I just (a) forgot to change Some Numbers to merk in the first line, and (b) somehow failed to change the last two people's cards (merk's were wrong too). I've edited the post to be correct.

Done. Sorry for the repeated screw-ups... between work, parenthood, World Cup and a friend from out of town visiting, things are pretty chaotic around here.

You also can't double if you don't have the cards available to pay the double.

Some Numbers posted:Oh, really? That's unfortunate. Well, if that weren't the case, no one would ever get eliminated until everyone was down to two cards, because everyone at two could double with impunity and it simply wouldn't be worth selling on them.
