Coin Game - Game Over

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Tue Sep 20, 2016 10:32 am

Post by JDGA »

An ancient tradition returns!

1.
Each player starts with 1000 coins.
2.
Each round, each player secretly spends a number of coins.
3.
The player who spends the lowest number of coins in a given round is eliminated.
4.
The player who spends the
second-lowest
number of coins in a given round receives those coins back.
5.
In case of a tie for the lowest number, the tied players play an extra round, while the lowest non-tied player receives their coins back.
6.
In case of a tie for the second-lowest number, the tied players split the refunded coins, discarding any remainder (ie a tie between two players will see each receive half their coins back, etc).
7.
When there are only two players left, five gems will be offered. Whichever players spends the most money on a gem wins it. Whichever player wins the most gems wins the game!

Winner:

DarkLightA


Eliminated:

animorpherv1
Aronis
Cheery Dog
D3f3nd3r
Faalcon
Harkonnen97
Haschel Cedricson
Iprobablysuck
Ircher
Lady Lambdadelta
McMenno

Signups are closed, and we have 23 players.
Round 1 begins now, you have (expired on 2016-09-25 12:00:00) to submit how many coins you wish to spend. Remember, the player who spends the fewest number of coins will be eliminatied! (along with any players who don't submit)
Of course, the player who spends the second-fewest number of coins will be safe, so... best of luck!

Round of 23 Results

All 23 submissions are in! But who will be the first one gone?

Well, let's start with McMenno's breaking strategy.
McMenno - 1000 coins

Apparently, it's a breaking strategy to get 22nd place. We'll deal with that later.

Aside from those who are suicidal, who submitted the most?
Ircher - 85 coins
vonflare - 81 coins
D3f3nd3r - 62 coins
Lady Lambdadelta - 61 coins
Iprobablysuck - 55 coins
Faalcon - 51 coins


17 left, and everyone remaining submitted less than 50.
StaplerTowel - 45 coins
Haschel Cedricson - 44 coins
animorpherv1 - 40 coins


14 submitted less than 40...
Rhinox - 37 coins
Harkonnen97 - 35 coins
Cheery Dog - 34 coins
Radja - 33 coins
randomidget, StrangerCoug, and Tatsuya Kaname - 30 coins

That's the only tie in this round's results, and that brings us to six left.
Aronis, DarkLightA, Mina, Aronis, Xalxe, and xofelf. One of these players will be the first one eliminated from Coin Game.

...

DarkLightA - 26 coins
Realeo - 24 coins
Aronis - 22 coins


Spoiler: Final Three
Xalxe - 17 coins
xofelf - 15 coins

Mina - 12 coins


Mina, you submitted the lowest, and as a result you have been eliminated. Thankyou for playing.
Congratulations, xofelf, you get to keep your 15 coins!

Round of 22 Results

Thanks to McMenno earlier, the result of this round should be obvious. Let's deal with it now~

McMenno - 0 coins

Everyone else - 1 coin

Due to the way coins are split and rounded down, no one gets their coin refunded. Still, welcome to the Final Twenty-One!

Well, your

can, and if they aren't actually in the game they won't even be eliminated as a penalty! :P
(But I wouldn't recommend anyone still in the game try it)

DIAMOND
SAPPHIRE
RUBY
EMERALD
OPAL

Well, this is it. The two of you have outbid your opponents at every turn, facing down twenty-one of your competitors to make it to this point. However, there can only be one winner.
Presented before you are five gems. The diamond, the sapphire, the ruby, the emerald, and the opal.
Place your bids on each of these gems now.
Place your bids on the diamond now, but note that only the winner's bet will be revealed. Whomever bids the most on a gem wins it, and whomever wins more gems will win the game. Best of luck, both of you!

I was thinking about it, and if that's what people were expecting, we can do that instead. Alright, so just the diamond first, and
only the winner's bid will be revealed.

This is it. The final reveal. Let's start by showing the losing bids, and seeing the remaining coin totals...

THE FINAL TWO
DarkLightA
193
219
Harkonnen97
DIAMOND
52
1
SAPPHIRE
102
88
4
11
RUBY
EMERALD
OPAL


Harkonnen97 has a small coin lead, which is more than enough to steal the game should he have successfully predicted DarkLightA's remaining bids.

Then let's see how DarkLightA allocated his remaining coins.

DarkLightA
193

Harkonnen97
DIAMOND
52
1
SAPPHIRE
102
88
4
11
RUBY
192
EMERALD
1
OPAL


He's gone for an all-in approach, bidding almost his entire sum on the Emerald.
If Harkonnen97 predicted this and bid more than 192 on the Emerald, but saved at least two coins for the Opal, he will win. Has he done this?
