Full Rules (plagiarized from Isaac, Black Adder, and/or Amys):

I will mostly follow the same rules Isaac and Black Adder and Amys 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).

Rules
# You start off with 1000 coins
* Due to rampant inflation resulting from the current global economic crisis, you will be given a slight raise over the previous starting balance. You will instead begin with [Eddington Number] coins. That is, you will start off with 15,747,724,136,275,002,577,605,653,961,181,555,468,044,717,914,527,116,709,366,231,425,076,185,631,031,296 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, read one of the previous four coin game threads for game play examples.

So if I bet negative, assuming I'm not the lowest, do I earn coins? - 01/12/2010 04:23:11 AM 1044 Views
