I think we made it so you only get points for making your bid.

and penalized those who failed

Since this makes the points-allocation outcome dichotomous, wouldn't it be simpler to just increase the bid-making bonus?

We made additional changes so it wouldn't be quite like that.

The basic ones were making a bid grants 10 points as a base. Fucking up a bid = -10 points x how many bids you were off by.

We also gave a bonus to making higher bids. a bid of 0 = 10 points. a bid of 1 = 10 + 1^2 = 11. A bid of 2 = 10 + 1^2 + 2^2 = 15.

So it'd go
10
11
15
24
40
65
101 etc.

Further, you had the option of doubling, and then double-blinding (in which you declare without looking at your cards). All in all, scores will all be positive (most likely) by the end of the game

You should change the name of this meet to MerryLand Mixup.

That is all.

It should have a better name than Balto, I agree.
I liked whatever the one before Balto was more.

I'm just wondering if you're as charmingly self-absorbed in person, UN.
Don't worry, by the way - when I've got less shit going you'll be back in my sig.

Balto was awesome and anyone who says otherwise can go roll down a tall staircase.

Quoth the Raven, Partymore, is pretty awesome.

Welp. As it stands my % is down to 10% or so. For going to this.

Ex moving out and needing roomates is not fun. Even then I think the odds of a meet in Columbus if people were interested went up to 80%

I should make an alt called Charm City Circulator and ask someone to push Trollie in front of me.

</joke>

Alt jokes are so awesome in my head.
