Allocate/Execute IV: FINISHED

[PrivateI]

Allocate / Execute IV

Concept and ruleset by CuddlyCaucasian, and shamelessly stolen and modified from D3f3nd3r

General Rules

|01|

This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.

|02|

This is a game. The secondary objective is to win. Regardless of how amusing you think it may be, do not join merely to troll the other players.

|03|

My modding is not infallible, so if I make a mistake, please point it out and I will try and correct it before anyone else notices, before acting like it never happened.

|04|

Private communication with any players in the game is allowed and encouraged.

|05|

Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask.

Game Mechanics

(aka the important stuff)

|06|

This game will play out entirely through private voting. Every round, the player who receives the most votes will be eliminated from the game.

|07|

At the start of the game, all players will each be given a number of votes equal to three times the number of players to use throughout the game. If you have any votes left, you must use at least one vote during every round to vote for a player, but you may use as many as you like. You do not have to cast all your votes for the same player during a round. Once you use all your votes, you will no longer be able to vote.

|08|

48 hours will be given for each period of voting. If you miss a deadline, you will have three of your votes randomly cast on three different players. If you miss two deadlines, you will be removed from the game.

|09|

After the votes are revealed, the player who received the second-largest number of votes will receive immunity, and cannot be voted for until the next round ends. If there is a tie for the second-highest vote getter, immunity will be held by the same player who held it in the previous round. If immunity has not been given out during the game, and a tie occurs, immunity will not be given out. Immunity will be eligible to be given each round through the round where five players remain.

|10|

All votes will be shown anonymously. After the votes from each round have been revealed, the total number of votes left in play will be revealed. Individual player vote counts will never be revealed.

|11|

In the event of a tie, there will be a revote in which all players other than those involved in the tie will be able to cast a single vote (not from their total number of votes) for one of the players locked in the tie. If this vote is tied, a random player will be eliminated among the non-tied players.

|12|

Once only three players remain, the players that placed from 4th to 11th place will have 72 hours to question the final three, after which they will privately cast votes for the winner. The player with the most votes will be the winner. The finalists will be asked to submit conditional votes for one of their fellow finalists. These conditional votes will only be relied on in the event of a tie.

/in in the thread to sign up! We're going to try for 11 or more players, preferably closer to 15+. Once we hit 11 I'll set a deadline for /ins.

What happens if everyone runs out of votes before final 3?

Yeah, as Meme alluded to, the tiebreaker rules would come into play. Importantly, if no one has any votes, then we would basically draw rocks for the rest of the game, randomly eliminating players until the Final Three remains.

[PrivateI]

We've hit 11 players, and then some. I'll continue accepting sign-ups through [WHEN I GET HOME FROM DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS TOMORROW NIGHT], and will start the game then. Good luck!

[PrivateI]

With that, we are up to the most players in an onsite Allocate/Execute game ever. One more player would push us to the largest voting-centred nonanonymous MS game in five years.

what about spitfly

Fair point.

[PrivateI]

All right, let's begin. With 24 players, there are 1,728 votes in the game--each player has 72 votes to use throughout the course of the game.

You will have until (expired on 2019-06-23 18:00:00) to send in your votes. You can pm me on MS or message me on Discord to cast your votes. MontyWhittaker#6697 is my username.

If you have any questions, let me know.

[PrivateI]

I have the results.

The Worst did not vote, and his votes have been distributed accordingly.

Spoiler:

Vash received one vote.

Spoiler:

Felissan received one vote.

Spoiler:

CreativeMod1 received one vote.

Spoiler:

CaptainMeme received one vote.

That's 4 votes used.

Spoiler:

Flum, Ircher, and Jumble received two votes each.

That's ten votes used.

Spoiler:

Adorabebs received four votes.

That's fourteen votes used.

Spoiler:

Not_Mafia received 88 votes.

That's 102 votes used.

Spoiler:

D3f3nd3r is the only other person to receive votes. D3f received...

Spoiler:

32 votes.

Spoiler:

That means that Not_Mafia has been eliminated from the game, and D3f has immunity for the next round. To be clear, you CANNOT vote for D3f in the next round.

(expired on 2019-06-25 18:30:00)--I need your votes by then! 1,527 votes remain...who will be eliminated next?

[PrivateI]

To be completely clear, I will not end a round early. Thus, you're better off sending a placeholder vote and changing it if you need to, since this can be an easy thing to forget. For you, at least. For me, tracking 1,500 votes is a full-time job.

[PrivateI]

I'm going to be a bit naughty and post results a bit late tonight. Hopefully the suspense isn't killing you!

[PrivateI]

I have the results. Chemist1422 did not vote, and has cast votes accordingly.

Five players have received votes--

Spoiler:

Creativemod and Jumble have each received one vote.

Spoiler:

Vijarada has received...18 votes.

Spoiler:

Adorabebs has received...four votes.

Spoiler:

Ircher has received...

Spoiler:

13 votes. Vijarada, you have been eliminated. That means Ircher will have immunity for the whole of the next round.

On average, players used less than two votes apiece. Holding more votes can give you more power. The one thing you have to think about--it gives every single vote more power as well. I'll see you later, players.

1,426 votes remain--who will be eliminated next? Send your votes to me by (expired on 2019-06-27 21:00:00)

[PrivateI]

Piggygal did not vote, and has had votes allocated accordingly.

I will reveal the votes.

Spoiler:

Cephrir, Chemist, and Entreri each received one vote.

Spoiler:

D3f3nd3r received 20 votes.

Spoiler:

CaptainMeme received 3 votes.

Only one other person received votes.

Spoiler:

Adorabebs received...

Spoiler:

One vote. That means D3f3nd3r has been eliminated, and CaptainMeme has received immunity for the next round.

1,399 votes remain, you have until (expired on 2019-06-29 18:00:00)

Just over one vote per person, on average, was used this round. As the stores of votes increase, however, trust will eventually falter. Good luck players, I'll see you tomorrow.

[PrivateI]

I have the results.

For the first time this game, everyone has cast their votes before deadline.

Five people received votes. Let's talk about it.

Spoiler:

CuddlyCaucasian received one vote, and Vash received two votes.

That's three votes used.

Spoiler:

NotAJumbleOfNumbers received...33 votes.

Spoiler:

Cheery Dog received...15 votes.

One person left...

Spoiler:

Piggygal received...

Spoiler:

7 votes. That means that Cheery Dog is immune for the next round, and Jumble has been eliminated.

A few reminders--you ARE able to cast your votes on Discord, you aren't required to send a pm if you don't wish to. Additionally, when you say you are voting for someone, I assume you are using just one vote for them unless you specifically say otherwise. Finally, I will NOT always be reminding people to vote before deadline--with over 42 hours given to vote each time, I believe in your ability to get it done.

With that said, 1,274 votes remain, and you have until (expired on 2019-07-01 18:00:00) to vote. Good luck.

[PrivateI]

I have the results. Congrats to everyone for voting once again.

Five people received votes.

Spoiler:

Piggygal received...14 votes.

Spoiler:

Vash and Iprobablysuck each received one vote.

That's sixteen votes cast.

Spoiler:

Adorabebs received...32 votes.

It all comes down to this.

Spoiler:

Ircher received...

Spoiler:

6 votes. That means that Adorabebs have been eliminated and Piggygal has immunity for the next round.

Just over two votes per person were used, meaning that conservatism is still in the air. As we continue in the game, though, who will be the first to blink?

1,153 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-03 18:00:00) to vote. If you need an update on your remaining votes, just let me know.

[PrivateI]

I have the results and everyone voted. Thank you for voting.

Spoiler:

Vash, Creativemod, and Chemist each received one vote.

That's three votes lol.

Spoiler:

Randomidget received 23 votes.

That's 26 votes. One other person received votes.

Spoiler:

Ircher received...

Spoiler:

12 votes. This means that Random has been eliminated, and Ircher has received immunity for the next round.

The decisions you have collectively made have resulted in another elimination. What will the next decision entail?

1,053 votes remain. Please vote by (expired on 2019-07-05 18:00:00).

[PrivateI]

I'm driving home tonight, so results may be late. Deadline remains the same though.

[PrivateI]

I have the results. Cheery Dog, Felissan, and Chemist1422 each did not vote. They each received a strike and voted accordingly. This was Chemist's second strike, and he has been removed from the game.

Here are the votes.

Spoiler:

Chemist1422, Piggygal, Iprobablysuck, Chickadee, Creativemod1, Cephrir, and Felissan have each received one vote.

That's seven votes!

Spoiler:

Entreri received two votes.

That's nine votes wow. Spooky scary.

Spoiler:

CaptainMeme received 24 votes.

That's 33 votes.

Spoiler:

Cheery Dog received five votes.

Only one other person received votes.

Spoiler:

The worst received...

Spoiler:

48 votes. That means The Worst (and Chemist) have been eliminated from the game, and CaptainMeme has immunity for the next round.

You have until (expired on 2019-07-07 19:00:00) to vote. 863 votes remain in the game.

[PrivateI]

That was my bad, I thought I had accounted for that. The votes have been updated. Total votes used remain the same.

[PrivateI]

YOOHOO! I have some votes for you. SIX people received votes this round. Also entreri didn't vote and has received a strike.

Spoiler:

Aurathebirb received one vote.

Spoiler:

So did vashtaneurotic.

Spoiler:

Cephrir received four votes.

That's six votes.

Spoiler:

Felissan received 15 votes.

Spoiler:

Fluminator received 89 votes.

That's 110 votes!

However, one more person received votes...

Spoiler:

CuddlyCaucasian received...

Spoiler:

Three votes. That means Fluminator has been eliminated, and Felissan has immunity for the next round.

Trust in the group can be scary. You don't want your "we" to become a "me". Tonight, Flu"me"nator was a victim. Who will be next?

694 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-09 18:00:00) to vote.

[PrivateI]

I have the results. As the numbers dwindle, it's much easier for me to verify that everyone has voted.

Let's get to it.

Three people received votes.

Spoiler:

Cephrir received 15 votes.

Spoiler:

Chickadee received 13 votes.

Spoiler:

Ircher received...

Spoiler:

26 votes. That means Ircher has been eliminated, and Cephrir has immunity in the next round.

This is the first time since round 2 that someone has been eliminated with a plurality of votes. What does that mean going forward?

600 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-11 18:00:00) to vote.

[PrivateI]

I have the results.

Spoiler:

Malkon received one vote.

Spoiler:

Cheery Dog received 14 votes.

One other person received votes...

Spoiler:

Aronis received...

Spoiler:

Three votes. That means Cheery Dog has been eliminated, and Aronis has immunity in the next round.

We're winding ever closer to jury--the people you keep from this point forward will likely either be a finalist or vote for who should win this game. You're running out of chances to keep someone off the jury.

547 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-13 18:00:00) to vote. There is a small chance that I won't have Internet on Saturday, which would mean that results would not be posted until Sunday. Regardless, deadline remains the same.

[PrivateI]

Hey, y'all, I just got back into town. I apologize again for the egregious delay, and thank you for your patience. Chickadee and Iprobablysuck both did not vote. They have both received a strike, and cast three random votes. (This is their first strike)

I'll read the votes.

Spoiler:

Cephrir, Vash, and Piggygal each received one vote.

Spoiler:

Aurathebirb received two votes.

Three other people received votes.

Spoiler:

CuddlyCaucasian received three votes.

Spoiler:

Chickadee received twenty-three votes.

Spoiler:

Felissan received...

Spoiler:

Three votes. This means Chickadee has been eliminated. And for the first time this game, we have a TIE for the second-most votes. The rules of Allocate/Execute state that in the event of a tie for the second-most votes, immunity will stay with the person who last had it, if immunity has been given out. In this case, Aronis will retain immunity for the next round.

One vote before jury begins. It's up to you to decide who makes it, and who doesn't.

484 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-16 18:00:00) to vote.

[PrivateI]

By popular demand, I have updated the first post with the strike status of players--if they have received a strike during the game, they are marked with an "X".

[PrivateI]

I have the results.

Four people received votes this round. One of those people will not make it to the jury stage.

Spoiler:

Felissan received five votes.

Spoiler:

Iprobablysuck received 43 votes.

That's 48 votes.

Spoiler:

CaptainMeme received 24 votes.

That's 72 votes.

Spoiler:

Creativemod1 received...

Spoiler:

One vote. That means IPS has been eliminated and will not be on the jury. Captainmeme has immunity and will not be the first juror. It's a record-breaking third immunity win for CaptainMeme.

It's the largest percentage of votes used since the game began. And as the number of votes in the game decrease, this could be a more and more common occurrence.

377 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-18 18:00:00) to vote.

[PrivateI]

I have the results. Multiple people received votes, but only one will become the first member of the jury.

Spoiler:

CuddlyCaucasian received four votes.

Spoiler:

Entreri received seventeen votes.

Spoiler:

Aronis received ten votes.

One other person received votes.

Spoiler:

Cephrir received...

Spoiler:

One vote. That means Entreri has been eliminated and Aronis has received immunity for a third time.

We have the first member of the jury. Seven more of you will join him.

299 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-20 18:00:00) to submit your votes.

[PrivateI]

Vash received...three votes.

Spoiler:

[PrivateI]

I have the results. My apologies for being late.

Spoiler:

Two other people received votes.

Spoiler:

Creativemod1 received forty votes.

Spoiler:

VashtaNeurotic received...

Spoiler:

32 votes. Creativemod1 has been eliminated. Vash is safe for the next round.

It's the biggest percentage of votes used since the game began. 132 votes remain. Who will be eliminated next? There's only one way to find out. Votes are due by (expired on 2019-07-24 18:00:00).

[PrivateI]

Seven people remain. 91 votes remain. Who will be eliminated next? You have until (expired on 2019-07-26 18:00:00)

Programming note--I'm gonna try real hard to be on to post results. There is a possibility, based on where I'll be, that I'll have no Internet. If that's the case, results will be postponed until Sunday evening, around the same time as the Friday night deadline. My apologies for this--know that I love you all so much.

[PrivateI]

No time for formatting let's get to it!

One vote for Vash.

18 votes for Felissan.

Felissan is eliminated. Vash has immunity.

49 votes remain. You have until the normal time, 8 EDT, on July 28.

[PrivateI]

We back, y'all.

Spoiler:

CuddlyCaucasian received...one vote.

Spoiler:

Aurathebirb received...eight votes.

One other person received votes.

Spoiler:

Cephrir received...

Spoiler:

One vote. That means Aura has been eliminated, and because there is a tie for immunity votes, Vash retains immunity for the next round.

26 votes remain. You have until (expired on 2019-07-30 18:00:00) to vote.

[PrivateI]

I have the results.

Spoiler:

Aronis received four votes.

Spoiler:

Cephrir received two votes.

Spoiler:

That's it. Aronis has been eliminated. No one has immunity for our final round.

16 votes remain, and for the first time in Allocate/Execute history, no one has a majority of the remaining votes in the final round. This is, for the record, the last time your votes can be used before the Final Three is here.

You have until (expired on 2019-08-01 18:00:00), and it is the last time that players' votes will be counted. Good luck.

[PrivateI]

I have the results.

Spoiler:

There are eight votes for Cephrir.

Spoiler:

There are eight votes for Vashtaneurotic.

For the first time this game (or any Allocate/Execute game?), we have a tie.

CaptainMeme, CuddlyCaucasian, I need you each to send me the name of the person you want to go home. Either Cephrir or Vashtaneurotic.

Deadline remains the same as my previous post.

[PrivateI]

I have the results.

Spoiler:

One vote Vash.

That's one vote.

Spoiler:

One more vote Vash. Vash is the final juror...just in time for the power to shift to the jury.

Jury, your time starts now.

You may ask questions as much as you wish right here in this thread for the next 72 hours. Following this, you will have 24 hours (or so) to send me your vote for which of CaptainMeme, Cephrir, and CuddlyCaucasian should win Allocate/Execute IV.

Deadline for Questions: (expired on 2019-08-02 20:00:00)

Deadline for Final Votes: (expired on 2019-08-03 19:00:00)

[PrivateI]

Eight hours remain for final jury questions.

[PrivateI]

Votes are trickling in, and I will be tallying the votes throughout the evening. Get ready for the LIVE reveal in a few hours! Who was playing your favourite characters? What showmances were happening behind the scenes? And in an exclusive interview, we'll find out exactly who came up with the SHOCKING musical performance in the finale. All this and more coming up later tonight in the most anticipated live reveal ever!

[PrivateI]

Votes are LOCKED.

[PrivateI]

In another hour I guess. What was I thinking?

[PrivateI]

Three different people. Three different approaches.

CaptainMeme's reputation preceded him, and a controversy developed from the very first round. Meme, working with Fluminator, orchestrated the Kill Meme and Save Meme Discord servers, and the fun didn't stop there. Meme actively made more than ten different alliances in the game, each billed as a Final Three or Final Four. As controversy (and opposition to Meme) gradually died, he moved himself into a power position to ensure his spot in the Final Three. Did he play too far out in front, and burn too many bridges along the way?

CuddlyCaucasian came into the game ready to play, but eventually tired of the demands of the game. He attempted to take hold of a minority alliance, but eventually went to drastic efforts to take out his rival. Fifteen rounds in, he expended all of his votes, and, despite this, maneuvered his way to the Final Three. In the Final Deliberation, CC captivated audiences with the most controversial Final Deliberation speech in Allocate/Execute history. Can an unforgettable Final Deliberation performance wipe out the errors in CC's game?

Cephrir played a slow and steady game, was also involved in a number of alliances, and rode many of them forward in the game. When he used a majority of his votes to take out Fluminator, Meme's closest ally, he set himself in a difficult position in the game. He managed to persevere through a remarkable social game, and made it to the Final Three where he delivered an unassuming Final Deliberation performance. Will Cephrir's modest speeches appeal to the jurors, and did he do enough to win this game?

[PrivateI]

Over 1,728 votes were in existence at the start of the game. Hundreds of votes were used throughout the game. But in the end, seven votes will decide the winner of Allocate/Execute IV.

For the final time, I have the results.

[PrivateI]

Spoiler: First Vote

vote for CC btw. His song was funny and I appreciate it more than most things this game

[PrivateI]

Spoiler: Second Vote

Last A/E game I voted for the player who talked to me and I'm going to do that again here (wow who would've thought all you needed to do to get my jury vote is PM me occasionally. easy, right? apparently not). I have way more respect for somebody who convincingly lies to me than someone who ignores me. One finalist put way more effort into this game than the other two. Just looking at FTC- that fact is obvious. So I'm naturally inclined to reward that effort, passion, and dedication for the game.

VOTE: CAPTAIN MEME
If you don't win, it's a travesty.

[PrivateI]

Spoiler: Third Vote

gonna put in a vote for meme since it looks like most people are wrapping up

[PrivateI]

Spoiler: Fourth Vote

Meme

Spoiler: Fifth Vote

Eh, I guess I vote meme

CONGRATULATIONS to the winner of Allocate/Execute IV, CaptainMeme!

[PrivateI]

Congratulations to the winner and both of the runners-up. What a superb game each of you played!

All the jurors and players, I hope you had a blast--this was a lot of fun to watch unfold. Thank you!

Here's the multi-tab voting chart of this game.

[PrivateI]

i do not make the rules, i just use a randomizer. sad.
