Thumbtacks (Game 2) WINNER REVEALED!

RULES
stolen from Magic Kingdom and altered


There is, before you, a tall corkboard. The game will be played in a number of rounds, depending on the amount of signups.
Every round, you will choose to place a thumbtack at one position. After all tacks have been placed, we will tally the scores for the round and add them to your total score. If someone else places a tack where you placed one, both tacks fall off, and score 0 points. After that, any and all remaining tacks will score point equal to the height of the tack, MINUS the difference of the height of the tack beneath it.

For example, Monty, Alex, Ani and Pizza are playing in a round of Thumbtacks. The scoreboard is 55 units high. Monty places his tack on 50. Pizza places his thumbtacks at 35. Alex places his thumbtack at 20, and Ani places his tack at 35. Pizza’s tack and Ani’s tack both fall off and earn 0 points. Monty earns 30 points (50 – 20) and Alex earns 20 points (20 – 0).

The player with the lowest
total
score after each round is eliminated until only one player remains, who will be declared the winner.

In the event of a tie, the person who scored the least amount of points in the current round is eliminated. If that still results in a tie, an extra elimination round is played between the tied players.

Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

We have 12 players! That's quite a lot so this should be good!

Time for round 1! I'll copy the example again, so everyone knows how it works:
For example, Monty, Alex, Ani and Pizza are playing in a round of Thumbtacks. The scoreboard is 55 units high. Monty places his tack on 50. Pizza places his thumbtacks at 35. Alex places his thumbtack at 20, and Ani places his tack at 35. Pizza’s tack and Ani’s tack both fall off and earn 0 points. Monty earns 30 points (50 – 20) and Alex earns 20 points (20 – 0).
For round 1, we will use a scoreboard
100 units high
. Please PM me the position you want to place your thumbtack at.

you have
(expired on 2017-04-22 14:35:43)
. If you fail to submit, your score for this round will be 0. After round 1, each round will last 24 hours instead of 48.

For the tiebreaker round, we will use a scoreboard
100 units high
. Please PM me the position you want to place your thumbtack at. The result of the tiebreaker round will not be added up to your total score. So basically, you just don't want to be last and get eliminated from the game.

you have
