Rules:

1. Players begin with

5000

coins.
2. You must pm me the amount of coins you are spending each round before the deadline expires.
3. Each round,

the lowest

spender is eliminated while the

2nd lowest

spender receives their coins back.
4. In case of a tie for elimination, players must submit additional coins to break the tie. This will be continued until the tie is broken or a player runs out of coins.
5. You cannot spend negative amounts of coins, and you also cannot spend more coins than you own in a round.
6. If you ever run completely out of coins, you are eliminated.
7. In case of a tie for refund, coins are split evenly between the two with the poorer of the two receiving the extra coin in odd cases. (Otherwise, discard any extra coins.)

final 3

will bet on

5

items. Whoever spends the most on an item wins the item. The player who wins the least items is eliminated.
9. If there is a tie for elimination in 8, the odd player is removed and results recalculated. Whoever now won the least number of items is eliminated.

final 2

will bet on

Res - Maybe?

Post Post #4 (isolation #3) » Fri Apr 14, 2017 4:57 pm

Cuz the 2nd highest gets their coins back.

Post Post #5 (isolation #4) » Fri Apr 14, 2017 4:58 pm

Maybe I should still eliminate the lowest spender? Oh well, rules may be altered a little bit before the game starts.

I would like to hear other people's comments as well.

And zero coins is never a valid bid.

Alright, the lowest will be eliminated per usual and the highest receives their coins back.

what happens if everyone submits all their coins on the first round?

Must you try to break the game?

Rocks fall and the mod wins. So, don't do it.

Players should follow the spirit and not necessarily the letter of the rules as exclusions are very possible.

In post 25, swyellowtail wrote:Also, can I just point out that the final 3 round is also.. kind of flawed? The person that got more bids in a tie gets shafted, and if there is a three-way tie (and it is possible: one item doesn't get to go to
anyone
)... what happens there? (This one is a lot less likely, but you never know)

This is covered by the rules.

Standard tiebreaker (4) can be used on 8 since players are not going to be spending all of their coins in final 3. 9's tiebreaker is considered first though when there is a player that clearly won the most items

Anyway, given how much people want to try to break games, I've reverted to standard round elimination as per previous games.

The last variant was not necessarily flawed though as 4 and 7 cover it w/ the exception that I didn't specific which rule has precedence.

For that matter, rule 4 overrides 7 when conflicts occur.

It's like proper ettiquete and manners.

Though they aren't generally written down, you are expected to follow them.

Still waiting on Klick.

I will roll a 10d100 if he doesn't give me an action. If you fail to submit twice, you will be replaced or eliminated.
