Dead Last
If you didn't see it coming, you're already dead.
Dead Last is a recently published Card Game based on the Tontine, an old investment scheme where participants all pay into one account with extreme interest and receive ever-so-increasing payouts as each of the other participants die. Of course, there are those that want the ultimate payout all to themselves...
Gameplay-wise, it is a little similar to Ready Aim Fire, but with the main idea behind the eliminations being of the Majority Wins variety.
Game So Far:
Game 1
: JDGA and Shadoweh off conspirator Aronis after an initial alliance. Both players chose to SHARE, netting 2 cards each.
Game 2
: Two even factions split off, offing JDGA and Astinus early. Ircher taunts the losers, which earns the ire of Shadoweh's new faction. Aronis outthinks his conspirators and is now sharing the loot with Shadoweh. Both gain 2 cards each.
Game 3
: The hatred against Shadoweh is strong, but she counters swiftly against the mob. Unfortunately she is ousted along with sacrificial lion Astinus. In the Final Showdown, eager replacement newcomer vonflare opens with our first STEAL action, taking a total of 3 cards at once! JDGA telegraphs and makes off with a single card.
Game 4
: The revenge rally against vonflare was a success, but the paranoid leader JDGA offs herself in turn. As the no-carders decided their fate, 2-card holder Aronis bamboozles everyone to steal an entire pot of 4 cards!
Game 5
(current): Aronis is in the lead with 6 cards! What happens now...

Question guys: Do you feel it is best if I eject players who are inactive 3 times in a row? So far it's self-sustaining that the game can function with 6p minimum. (just playing with it, nothing set in stone. leaning on no).
Anyways, onwards: We have a tie today...
Between JDGA and Shadoweh? Perhaps. It's clear that there are factions in play now.
First lynch mob, we have...
Spoiler: Mob 1
DarkLightA
Ircher
and Astinus
...conspiring against JDGA!
next we have...
Spoiler: Mob 2
Shadoweh
Tatsuya Kaname
and Aronis
...conspiring against....Astinus!
But who will break the tie?! What did she choose...
Spoiler: Thrilling Conclusion
kdowns votes for...Aronis.
JDGA votes for...Tatsuya Kaname.
ANTICLIMAX!
THE TIE CLINCHES IT!
JDGA
and
Astinus
are eliminated as a mutual agreement!
Meanwhile
kdowns
(and
JDGA
) off themselves for not following the herd mentality!

I wasn't referring to you. There's been 1 since D1... And I don't know if he's playing possum or legit not playing. I've only seen him post once elsewhere.
I made the rule of suiciding without grief to add a bit more strategy and illusion but I forgot to consider the possibility of people who actually ditch it. But if nobody knows who is inactive, the Illusion is maintained. Hence my reluctance to boot. I will consider replacement instead if this pervades.

So I was hosting this on another forum a few days ago and well, let's just say the people in it were far more juvenile. And paranoid. They eventually kept ambushing each other without trying to rally for anything.
I suppose it'll never happen here, but just in case I'm adding a rule that at least 2 users MUST NOT Ambush at the start of every Game in order for the First Round to resolve properly. If a First Round starts with all parties Ambushing or only 1 person not Ambushing, I will give a warning. On the 2nd time it happens, rocks fall and everyone dies the game will be over.
