Fun bits. Not highly valued by this system, appropriately :P

And now they've both been removed from the gene pool. Fantastic!
((I feel like the fun bits actually had a negative value. Also, I'm guessing we both lose if our scores are tied at the end, right?))

(( I don't think it's negative, but I think internal organs are in general more highly valued than any external part (with the possible exception of the appendix or spleen)
My reasoning is that the basic value of the parts is determined by two factors: how important they are to function and how important they are to survival. In this framework, the 'fun bits' have essentially zero value, since losing them won't hinder the ability of the contestant to compete, and won't put the contestant at risk of dying. I assume they have *some* value, just because the audience wants to see them cut off :P (Though of course, if the objective was to ensure they'd get cut-off, then they'd be worth -infinity points, ensuring that if you bet them, you'd lose them)

This also means that limbs are probably worth less than internal organs, because loss of (most) internal organs essentially puts you on a clock to your demise. You bid 3 internal organs, 1 of which was redundant. He bid 1 redundant organ, 1 limb, and 1 useless bit. I think you were the clear winner here, even if the useless bit wasn't worth negative points :P ))

((I think a good strategy for this game is to bet nothing. Because of the troll value of having the other win with no points rewarded. Of course, there's always the chance that the audience will lynch you for failure to provide entertainment if you do that. But to offset that, you can suddenly bet your entire body in round 5.))

Wouldn't it be illegal to bet nothing? And betting your whole body could just get the both of you killed, although with one of you having less body parts than the other, maybe the one with more would win? I don't know.

Collect those dd, then start adding body parts to the pile. Give 1 dd to harry, pancaek and yoink for their help.

Once everybody has taken their souvenir, add the corpse to the pile. Kick/slam with broken bottle that goast dude if he tries anything again, if not leave him be.

Oh, and upload the group picture to whatever social media there is here. Add appropriate hashtags.


"Good show lads, good show! Now, anyone care to help me put this thing in the pit? Oh, and you're all welcome to join us where we sit, the more the merrier.

Help out! Both with the lifting and throwing and with the hearty "HEAVE! HO!" that such an endeavor obviously requires.

The Audience hurls a corpse down into the arena. It lands with a rather distressing crunching noise.

OH my, it appears the Audience has just added a healthy bonus to the pile! How nice of them! I'm sure our winner will be very appreciative. Assuming they survive.



Mason bids his middle finger on his unshackled hand.

Allen bids his Liver + one lung + small and large intestines

ALLEN WINS!

Mason loss his middle finger on his right hand.

Allen 4, mason 2. On to the 7th round.

Today has been quite a slow day. Basically no posts.

Clearly I need to start murdering contestants until we have more viewers.


The beatings will continue until morale improves.

((They should throw more people into the point pile.Or we could always call the challenge a draw and split the points, then do eliminations and get the new contestants in. After all, we have no fun bits now. Without testosterone, Mason and Allen could become killers who take out their impotence on the other contestants. Or this next round could default to all or nothing.))

Throw some Magic Fun White Forked Leaves into the pile, and any syringes (first emptied of contents into my bloodstream) onto the pile.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.
