4 Rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Bin or Win and Split or Steal
Round 1:
In the game, there is a "Golden Bank" which refers to a kind of lottery machine. Inside it, are 100 golden balls, containing cash values, ranging from £10 to £75,000. 12 balls are drawn from the machine, then 4 "Killer" balls [Just like golden balls, but contain a "Killer" word instead] are added to the balls drawn, this equals 16 balls.
[FORUM NOTE: In this case, I'll use random.org to pick 12 money values, and add 4 "Killers", then random them again and give each of them an alphabet [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P] for reference, so the balls' name are Ball A, Ball B and so on. I do this because we can't do with REAL balls in the forum.]
The 16 balls are then shuffled, again, and are split to all players equally. Each player will recieve 4 balls[Will announce the balls the players recieved in the thread, they place two of them in the front row, the other two in the back row. Then each player's front row balls are opened, revealing the value in it.
Each player will then have a look at their back row balls secretly.
[FORUM NOTE: All players have the right to choose which balls will be in the front row, by sending PM to me the two alphabets of the balls they wanted to put them in front row in
24 hours
. The balls will be revealed in the thread and the back row balls' values will be sent through PM.]After that, all players will have to claim their balls' value. In this game, it's optional, but not required, to tell the truth, means you can bluff!
Then the contestants will have some time to talk with each other, discuss who they think is lying and try to find the player with the worst set of balls, which can mean lowest total value or most killer balls. Then each player will secretly vote for the player (s)he wants to eliminate. The player with the most votes will be eliminated from the game, and all of his/her balls are
"binned"
which means out of the game forever. In case of a tie, the player not involved with the tie must try to do an open discussion to find the eliminating player. But if it still can't resolve the tie, the host will random decide who is eliminated.All the balls will then revealed and the remaining 3 players proceed to the next round.
[FORUM NOTE: The players are ONLY allowed to talk in this thread. The votes will be sent using PM. And the random tie-break is decided and sponsored by random.org. And the voting process has a deadline at
48 hours
.]Round 2:
[FORUM NOTE: All values remaining will be reshuffled and re-given a letter, that means Ball A in round 1 usually doesn't have the same value as Ball A in round 2!]
Then they are divided to all players equally, each will get 5 balls. Then again, the players put 2 in the front row and 3 in the back row, and then the round runs the same fashion as round 1.
Bin or Win:
[FORUM NOTE: Both contestants are allowed to talk to each other in this thread ONLY. For speeding up, the player who's on control have to pick both binning and winning balls at once, in
24 hour
deadline.]Split or Steal:
Each player will get two final golden balls, one of them has the word
SPLIT
STEAL
If both players choose a Split ball, the jackpot is split equally between them and they both go home with half the money they've won.
If one player chooses a Split ball and the other chooses a Steal ball, the Stealer goes home with all the money and the Splitter goes home empty-handed.
If both players choose Steal balls, they both go home empty-handed.
And LISTEN UP, LOSERS! If in case that the jackpot is not won because of Steal-Steal decision,
the two previously eliminated players will recieve a quarter of the jackpot value
The players have a chance to speak with each other face to face before making their choices.
[FORUM NOTE: The players are still allowed to talk in the thread ONLY, but the ball choosing process will use PMs, by typing
SPLIT
or typing STEAL
in the PM. This decision must be made in 48 hours
