And that makes five players. We've still got room for more - there's really no limit here - but now that we have enough it's time to set a timer.

Signups will close and I will start setting up the game when this timer expires:

Welcome!

With six players, here's how things will look:

One extra elimination at the end of Round 10.
One extra die: 1d10+4 / 1d10.

[Not Known 15]

[Not Known 15]

[Farren]

Not Known 15 was already signed up, so that puts us back down to 5. Timer continues; back to one elimination at the end of round 10 and 1d8+4 as the highest VP die.

[Farren]

And that's time.

Signups are closed.

Game setup now in progress.

[Farren]

First: starting ammo.

Every player gets 15 throws to start. Of those 15, there's a guaranteed minimum of 2 rocks, 2 papers, 2 scissors.
This time around, I'm not simulating a bag. I'll roll dice instead. 1d3s, where 1 = rock; 2 = paper; 3 = scissors.

Nancy Drew 39's starting ammo:

Original Roll String: 9d3

9 3-Sided Dice: (1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3) = 17

Charles510's starting ammo:

Original Roll String: 9d3

9 3-Sided Dice: (3, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1) = 17

RH9's starting ammo:

Original Roll String: 9d3

9 3-Sided Dice: (3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2) = 20

StrangerCoug's starting ammo:

Original Roll String: 9d3

9 3-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3) = 22

Space's starting ammo:

Original Roll String: 9d3

9 3-Sided Dice: (1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1) = 15

[Farren]

Nancy gets:
RSPSPRRRP + RRPPSS = 6 Rocks, 5 Papers, 4 Scissors.
Charles gets:
PSPSPSRRR + RRPPSS = 5 Rocks, 5 Papers, 5 scissors.
RH9 gets:
PSPPSRSSR + RRPPSS = 4 Rocks, 5 Papers, 6 Scissors.
StrangerCoug gets:
SPRSPRRPP + RRPPSS = 5 Rocks, 6 Papers, 4 Scissors.
Space gets:
PRRRPRPRS + RRPPSS = 7 Rocks, 5 Papers, 3 Scissors.

(expired on 2023-01-08 22:30:00) remaining to submit a bid. Submitted bids can be changed up to deadline. All players start with

one

extension and can earn more by submitting bids early.

[Farren]

To clarify a couple of things:

1) Bids must have two things - how much you're spending, and which lot you're bidding on. You can only spend one type of ammo on your turn; you can only bid on one lot, and you must specify which lot you're bidding on. If you win, you'll spend your ammo and get the VPs and coins in the lot you bid on. If you tie, you keep your ammo and gain +1 coin. If you lose, you keep your ammo and gain nothing.

2) You may not communicate privately with others (other than me) about this game while it is ongoing.

3) You may post in this thread. Bids may not be submitted here; I will ignore anything in the thread that looks like a bid. Anything said by players in the thread is not binding. Players may not trade ammo, VPs, or coins.

[Farren]

Less than thirty minutes to go; still missing one bid!

[Farren]

Time's up. Nancy Drew 39 has not submitted her bid.

Extending the timer 24 hours, at the cost of one extension.
