Coin Payback IV (Round 2/13)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Fri Mar 16, 2018 11:14 pm

Post by JDGA »

We're back for the fourth edition of our little 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 are then 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 14 players it would be the top seven in a 10-7-5-4-3-2-1 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.
New this edition:
If someone uses their fallback value more than twice in a row, I reserve the right to halve their point and coin rewards until they return.

Last one was great. I know how it works now. Should be able to do better than last round's second worst place.

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?

Alright, that's more than enough time, let's get things rolling!
With 10 players, untied first gets 19 coins, and points will be given to the top five each round in a 9-6-4-2-1 distribution.

Round 1 begins now, and ends in (expired on 2018-03-23 07:00:00).
Please don't forget to send a fallback value with your submission so you don't miss out if you happen to miss a round.

Round 1 Result

Shrek decided to /out, which leaves 9. I'll leave the coin distribution at 19-11 so as to affect as little as possible.
In any case, THREE people go all-in, which leave them only four points each. No one else tries to submit double digits at all, but then there's another tie at 9 coins to lock down the remainder of the points.

Hey, yeah, I'm still lacking submissions and it's kind of super motivation sapping. Sorry to those who joined, but I might just cancel it and see about maybe bringing it back another time.

Just treat them as non-submitted and/or fallback value.
This game hasn't had activity problems in the past, I'm sure it will pick up if you continue.

Also, don't listen to Harambey prodding you. He's flaking his own games.
