Pledge spade to RedCoyote.

I don't want it going to someone that may strike out, and everyone else has striked once.

Pledge: Diamond to Realeo

I know this will make him a target. That's why I'm doing it.

[RedCoyote]

Well, someone has to backstab in our group. I may as well be the bad guy. I'm sorry, Realeo. You were a great ally.

Shoot: Realeo

I believe his death means I can re-pledge, and RedCoyote just earned my Diamond.

PLEDGE: Diamond to RedCoyote

[Realeo]

START THE MAYHEM!

Pledge heart to Radja

[pablito]

Realeo is dead and all above pledged cards went through as shown in OP.

Four players remain!

Deadline for Round 7 bidding is Tuesday the 28th at 8pm EDT eastern daylight.

[Realeo]

It's interesting. I actually struck a deal with both RedCoyote and Radja.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, until it kills you.

[RedCoyote]

Good, I don't feel as bad about shooting you now.

[Realeo]

But Radja has a diamond to kill you. You thought he played no card last round was coincidence?

DIE!

AND WHICH PART OF

I WANT TOP 3

THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND?

[Realeo]

But don't worry. Radja won't kill you. The math is pretty much obvious.

[Realeo]

Wait, nah. Radja can't win. If he kill SG, RedCoyote wins. If he kill xofelf, SG wins. If he kill RedCoyote, SG wins.

Is this a 4 way joint win? It's not optimal for Radja to shoot, it's not optimal for SG to shoot and it's not optimal for RedCoyote to shoot.

[pablito]

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

...

• Play continues until only one player remains - who is then announced the winner.

I'm confused how there are joint wins. There's just one winner? I need to figure out if this ruleset allows for ties so I'm legitimately wondering if there's something that needs to be looked at. If pledged cards are expired, and there are no more pledged, then it goes to "sudden death" and all players are given four new cards and all dead players are removed.

[Realeo]

I mean, at this point, the optimal move is for everyone not to play any card, which means infinity game.

[pablito]

Ah okay. So the rule will be, after 3 rounds of "no card" from all alive players - then CuddlyCaucasian gains the solo win by default.

[pablito]

For the second game, I'll incorporate a different rule actually. Likely will be "Upon a single round of all alive players submitting 'no card', the dead players will hold a plurality vote to remove the highest ranked card from a single player. Each dead player will submit a public vote for whom they would like to target for the 'penalty card removal'."

[RedCoyote]

For the second game, I'll incorporate a different rule actually. Likely will be "Upon a single round of all alive players submitting 'no card', the dead players will hold a plurality vote to remove the highest ranked card from a single player. Each dead player will submit a public vote for whom they would like to target for the 'penalty card removal'."

This would help. The last thing you want this game to become is just some big Kingmaker game. It really saps the fun out of it.

[pablito]

And we're early with the results.

Before the results, I just want to say that the current rule regarding "no card" is that if there are 3 total rounds in a game where all alive players submit "no card", then all alive players will be killed and no winner will be announced. For the next game, that rule will change. Let's hope it doesn't come into play.

First let's go to xofelf!

Spoiler:

Poor xofelf, doesn't even have a card. She doesn't even go here.

RedCoyote?

Spoiler:

And no card for Gretchen Weiners.

StrangerCoug?

Spoiler:

♥HEARTS♥

Radja?

Spoiler:

Stop trying to make fetch happen. No card.

Final Results:

Spoiler:

1 (♢ ♡ ♠ ♧) StrangerCoug*

♢Diamonds♢: no one

Due to being early, I'll set a generous deadline just in case someone isn't coming around for the next 24 hours, but of course, the earlier the shot the better. StrangerCoug has the bullet and has 48 hours to shoot someone! Deadline Wednesday the 26th at 18:30 EDT. (expired on 2016-06-29 17:30:00)
