Coin Payback (Final Results)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Mon Dec 25, 2017 9:59 pm

Post by JDGA »

So here's a variant on the coin game.

Everyone starts with nine more coins than the number of players in the game. (8 players - 17 coins each, 21 players - 30 coins each, etc), and there are thirteen rounds in the game.
Each round, players spend some integer number of coins, and they're ranked against the other players, with those who spend more receiving the better rank. Then they receive a payback depending on their position - last place receives 10 coins, and each higher place receives one coin more in payback (so with eight players, 1st would receive 17 coins). If there's a tie, those involved in the tie receive the lower amount (and in a tie for last the amount paid will be reduced below 10 accordingly)

However, the goal is
not
to build up the most coins; instead it is to earn the most points over the thirteen rounds. Each round, players in (roughly) the top half of positions receive points, with 1st receiving the most (obviously). The point system will vary depending on the number of players in the game, but as an example, with 8 players the top four would receive points in a 9-6-3-1 fashion, or with 12 players it would be the top six in a 10-6-4-3-2-1 fashion. Again, if there is a tie, the players involved will receive points according to the lower position.
Example with 8 players wrote:Player A spends 15 coins, ranking 1st. He receives 17 coins in payback, along with 9 points.
Player B spends 14 coins, ranking 2nd. He receives 16 coins in payback, along with 6 points.
Player F and G both spend 12 coins, tying for 3rd. They receive 14 coins each in payback, along with 1 point (the score for 4th).
Player H spends 9 coins, ranking 5th. He receives 13 coins in payback, but no points.
Player D spends 6 coins, ranking 6th. He receives 12 coins in payback, but no points.
Player C and Player E both spend 0 coins, tying for last. They receive 9 coins each in payback (they tie for last, which reduces the last place payback), but no points.

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?

There's a bit over a day left to signup - it's a very easy game to play (just tricky to explain), and it requires very little effort!

And let's go~
Round 1, everyone starts with 17 coins. PM how many you want to spend.
The point distribution is 9-6-3-1-0-0-0-0, and the coin payback is 17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10. Spend the most to get the most back, but try not to fall behind the curve! Or spend small to try and save more coins for later... best of luck!
Round 1 ends in (expired on 2017-12-31 21:15:00), unless everyone submits before then.

Round 1 Result

Not_Mafia goes all in, securing 9 points and his 17 coins back, but no profit. mallowgeno slides into second with 14, while Xalxe takes third with 10 and Vijarada 4th with 7. puzzledan spends 5 to pick up a profit of 8 coins, while Aura, Felissan, and Cheery Dog all spend low and get a profit of 9 for their trouble.

Round 2 Result

Almost everyone seemed to have the same strategy in this round... Xalxe spends 21 to pick up the top rank and 9 points, while Cheery Dog possibly comes out best spending only 13 to gain 16 back along with 6 points. Not_Mafia and Vijarada collide on 12, collecting only one point each, while Aura and Felissan collide on 11. mallow and puzzledan round up the back of the pack, spending 10 and 8 respectively. They will surely be disappointed with this result.

Round 3 Result

A three-way tie on 15 coins sees Not_Mafia come out with a big lead. In the meantime, Aura and Xalxe elect to save their coins and come out well ahead. puzzledan and Vijarada spend a little higher, and will likely be disappointed as well.

Round 5 Result

As a first, there's no ties this round! Xalxe slams down 30 coins to claim the win here, while Aura takes second with 20. puzzledan scores his first points with 15 coins, and Vijarada continues his streak of getting 4th with 13. The other four spend single-digit figures and all collect a decent number of coins for the trouble.

Round 6 Result

A high-spending round for most, but not all sees Aurathebirb pick up the win with 22 coins, with Felissan and Vijarada close behind on 21 and 20. Cheery Dog rounds out the points with 16, while mallowgeno and puzzledan tie on 15 and get nothing for it. Not_Mafia and Xalxe both spend 0, triggering the penalty for a last-place tie. Despite that, they're the only ones to make a profit on this round.

Round 7 Result

Not_Mafia uses his coin lead to guarantee the win here, with Xalxe going all-in and missing out as a result. mallowgeno bids 23 to take third, while congestion in the middle sees puzzledan and Cheery Dog miss out on points entirely. Vijarada and Aurathebird bid low, and are the only ones to make a profit this round.

Round 8 Result

puzzledan didn't submit, and didn't provide any kind of default value to fall back on, so he is excluded from the round (and the payout becomes 17-16-15-14-13-12-11). With five other players electing to save coins, Felissan and Vijarada collect some very easy points. There's then a three-way tie on 1 coin, each of them collecting +11! But had any of them spent 2 coins instead, they would have had +13 AND 3 points... Finally, mallowgeno and Not_Mafia collide on 0, resulting in their payout dropping to 10.

Round 9 Result

A huge variation in scoring sees Cheery Dog surpass Aurathebirb for first place this round, while Vijarada and mallowgeno collect some possibly unexpected points much further down. Xalxe, Felissan, and Not_Mafia all spend low, electing to save up instead.
