Coin Payback II (Final Results)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Sat Jan 20, 2018 12:10 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.
It's also possible to send a default/fallback value to use in the future if you happen to not submit. You can express the value in an absolute number of coins, or a percentage of the total (which will be rounded down if necessary). If a player doesn't submit and doesn't have a fallback value, they won't participate in that round.

It's one of those games that's a lot easier to understand by just jumping in, you can view the previous game to get more of an idea.

You can try it if you like, but last game wins very quickly became more expensive than a single set of coins.

I thought this too at first, the games a little hard to understand from just a text explanation, you should read the other thread to get a better idea of how it works.

Alright, looks like we're starting with nine.
Everyone starts with 18 coins, and the point distribution is the same as last game: 9-6-3-1-0-0-0-0-0. The coin payback distribution goes 18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10.
Round 1 starts now, and ends in (expired on 2018-01-26 13:00:00).

Round 1 Result

Two people go all-in, so neither of them get the 9 points. Behind them, three others spend moderately but only have two point-places to chase, and while they all profit to some extent StrangerCoug (who missed out) will most likely be disappointed. Well below them are the four who elected to save up, but they're hindered by last place still having spent 2.

Round 2 Result

Cheery Dog and Felissan both go for 18, producing another tie for first. Below that most players elect to save their coins, allowing StrangerCoug to score third place with 12 and TwoInAMillion to score fourth place with a mere 7 coins! TwoInAMillion picks up 8 coins in profit along with that point, a very well-chosen spend. Below that, mallowgeno gets 9, Not_Mafia gets 10, Gammagooey gets 11(!), but animorpherv1 and Vijarada tie for last and only get 9 themselves.

Shouldn't 1st-7th places be getting one coin less because of the tie for first place? or 3rd-7th if there's an exception for 1st place.

The rules say the payback works from last place up, but it seems to be being done from 1st place down.

Hopefully I'm making sense
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.

Round 3 Result

Not_Mafia throws down all his coins to secure the first win of the series, but second place is 11 coins behond. Vijarada claims third on 21, then a three-way tie on 17 coins means no one scores fourth place. TwoInAMillion spends 12 to get 12, while Cheery Dog and Felissan are the only two to turn a profit this round.

Round 4 Result

mallowgeno wins the round by spending 25, giving him his first points. StrangerCoug and Vijarada tie below him on 20, giving them 3 each, while Cheery Dog takes fourth with 19 coins. Felissan spends 18 and is left begging, while the other three elect to save. TwoInAMillion spends 10 to get 13, while a last place tie allows Not_Mafia to go +11 by spending 1 coin.

Round 5 Result

Gammagooey claims the round win with 27 coins, while mallowgeno goes 23 and animorpherv1 20. After that there's a
huge
drop - fourth place could have been claimed for a mere 3 coins, but Cheery Dog and TwoInAMillion tie on 2. They still go +12, however, as does Felissan on 1. Not_Mafia, StrangerCoug, and Vijarada ALL spend 0, and only wind up earning 8 coins each for their trouble thanks to the penalty.

Round 7 Result

Not_Mafia secures the win this round with 34 coins, while Gammagooey takes second with 32. TwoInAMillion goes all-in to take third place with 26, but there's a big drop from there to StrangerCoug on 13 (who manages to go +2). Of the savers, mallowgeno goes +9, Vijarada +10, and there's a three-way tie for last place on
2
coins, so with the penalty they only go +6 each.
