Buy the Bullet is a negotiation, bidding, and targetting game based on concepts similar to Ready, Aim, Fire! and Ferris Wheel. Each round one bullet will be offered and the player that earns the bullet can then target any player who will then be executed. However, earning that bullet will require negotiation and strategy based on the limited resources that you have to start. Furthermore, executed players still have a chance to affect the outcome, because their unused cards can be pledged to alive players for use later in the game! Who will buy the bullet and who will bite the bullet?

Rules
  • Every player begins with four cards in their hand, one of each card suit. Players will not be granted any new cards until all cards in the alive players have been used. No new cards will be given to any players unless everyone is empty-handed.
  • Cards are used to bid for the bullet. Each round, players will either privately play a card in their hand or no card. Players are given 48 hours to PM the mod their choice. The player that bid with the highest ranked unduplicated card for that round will win the bullet. In the case of ties all around, no one will win the bullet and all cards in that round will be discarded. Each round all bid cards will be discarded whether a bullet has been bought or not.
    If all bids are in, the results may be announced earlier than 48 hours but at minimum 12 hours will pass before results are announced.
  • Cards are ranked in this order Diamonds ♦♢ > Hearts ♥♡ > Spades ♠♤ > Clubs ♣♧.
  • For example if in round one, five players played the following:
    A - No card
    B - Diamond ♦
    C - Diamond ♦
    D - Heart ♥
    E - Club ♣
    Then D would win the trick. Diamonds cancel each other out for duplicating, and the next highest card in the trick is Hearts. However, if E played a Heart, then no one earns the bullet, and all played cards are discarded. All bids are made public on each round. All cards in hand are also public.
  • If all alive players submit "no card", then all dead players will have 24 hours to publicly vote for which alive player should lose their highest-ranked card as a penalty for the unanimous "no card" submission. The alive player who receives the most votes will lose their highest-ranked card. If there is a tie, then all of the votes on the tied players will be removed and the alive player who received the next most number of votes will receive the penalty and lose their highest-ranked card. If this means that no player has earned the most votes due to cancellations, then no player will receive the penalty to lose the highest-ranked card.

  • The player that earns the bullet will have 24 hours to then announce in thread whom s/he would like to execute/shoot. Please bold like so
    Shoot: pablito
    . The executed player is then removed from contention from winning. The executed player retains all cards still in his/her hand and will likely affect the outcome of the game. Alive players can communicate via PMs. Dead players can continue to post only in thread after death to continue negotiating with players.
  • Because it is very likely that alive players will run out of cards before the end of the game, dead players may pledge one card each round in his/her hand to any alive player. To do so, a dead player must post in bold like so
    Pledge: Heart to xofelf
    (pun intended). Once a card is pledged to an alive player, the choice cannot be undone unless the recipient is later executed.
  • Once all alive players run out of cards, all pledged cards will be given to alive players.
  • After pledged cards have been given to alive players,
    once a round occurs in which all dead players run out of cards or no more cards are pledged in a round, then all dead players
    are fully removed
    can no longer pledge cards in the game and all alive players are given four new cards.
  • Failure to submit a bid before deadline will give a player a strike. First strike - Submit "no card". Second strike - Submit "highest non-winning card". Third strike - Modkill/DQ. Failure to shoot someone before deadline leads to receiving a strike and a 24 hr extension of deadline. Penalty will apply during next bidding phase.
  • Play continues until only one player remains - who is then announced the winner.

I'll cap the sign-ups to 12 for now - unsure if it will work well with more than that. But maybe in a future round can have unlimited sign-ups. Once there's 10 sign-ups at least, I'll give a 24 hr count to sign-up. Otherwise, if there's fewer, we can just start whenever.
Sup, later.

Is using PM to communicate allowed or all communication must be public?

As I was away from the computer I realized I didn't make that specific.

I'll leave it as a vote to the players. Dead players for sure can only post in thread.

Vote for YEA for PMing between alive players or NAY for PMing between alive players?

Also, all choices will be made public upon each round.
Sup, later.

Bump. Setting a hard sign-up deadline for Saturday the 4th at about 1pm EST. At that time, I'll notify all players that the game is starting. Anyone can still sign-up. Extra day for the first action just to get used to the bidding portion and in case you need to negotiate.

Just a heads-up that I will be around sparsely if at all, all day tomorrow.

Going to an event of sorts.

So Saturday is a day for xof to sleep, or at least not get to MS for a while, SO i'm just gonna say right now PMing me isn't the best way to reach me for chatting up about game stuff. I'm much more accessible via Skype as i usually have my phone near me. If you wanna chat me up about stuff, you can add me at xofelf(I'll probably show up as Voluptuous Velociraptor atm).

Game has started. Round 1 begins! Feel free to communicate with any alive players right now. The deadline for round 1 is Monday night 21:00 EDT. Before the deadline each player must PM me a bid. You may choose to bid a card of any suit or you may choose to bid "no card". Once I receive all bids, even if before deadline, I will announce results. Once the final bid is in, all choices are final. Before then you may switch your choice via PM. Once the results are up, I will notify all players that there is 24 hours for the shooter (if there is one) to publicly announce a target.

Please refer to the rules in post #2 to see how the bids will resolve. Remember that ties will cause all of those cards to cancel out and all cards, once played, will disappear.

Questions? Feel free to PM me.
Sup, later.

I would prefer skype if someone wants to talk to me, although I will also respond to PM's. It's just that my PM box tends to get fewer attention.
