I think we should test this all betting the same person thing again, except with someone who is actually kind of active and useful, to see if a majority bet really does decide who gets kicked out, and not just being Orgy or something else entirely.
Thoughts?
and not just being Orgy or something else entirely.
and not just being Orgy
Orgy
XD

But anyway. This game is just a simple trick. The person who gets kicked out is the person that has the most bets placed on them, of course, so if we all agree whom to bet on, they get kicked out.

Now, today is a bit different because it's not betting on who will get kicked out, but who will win their bet. I can't think of a system to make the most people win this, however...random betting seems like the only option. Maybe each of us should bet on the person below us on the signup list? At least that way, someone is guaranteed to win.

It's finals week, so I'm not around much, but I'll be finishing up later today, so expect me back by tomorrow.

He think he met you can make that as a separate 100$ bet... I think.

If he meant it your way, then we should pick 2 people, have them vote for each other, and then split our votes among the two.

Yeah, it looks like we have two different classes of people to bet on... very interesting.

Can you bet on yourself winning your bet?  Are the two pools completely separate with regards to winnings? Is betting on yourself even a good idea?

It is if you're likely to win.

Yes, but to win means to eject someone, so if you're voting for yourself...

I like the idea of splitting the votes, though. We should determine who votes for whom, then do it and see what happens.

Sonova - someone stole my... argh, you fucker. D:<

If nobody claims it I'm going to assume it was scum and announce it as such. Whoever did it knows what it was.

I'm assuming it was his item, and that I'm not the only one who started with said item.

And I think we know the ne'er-do-wells goals now... to bankrupt us by stealing stuff, thus getting us kicked out.

I think we're getting nowhere fast.

Pandar- Any hints in your flavor as to what's going on?



Any thoughts on what would happen if no one bet anything?  My guess is a random person would be kicked and nobody wins.

Let's split the votes between Joker and Argembarger then. They both seem pretty scummy to me, and it might tell us a bit more about what is going on.

Mind giving reasons why you find me scummy instead of just dropping vague accusations?

Anyway, from Pandar's outburst we must have a pickpocket in the area...

I'm thinking it's the sheer amount of money bet on someone rather than number of betters. The ne'er-do-wells must have abilities designed to give them plenty of money; they're probably capable of outbetting everyone at least on a small scale for now. We're gonna have to find some scum and gang up on them to have any hope here.

There's no advantage to betting me AND joker; as I am sure that only one of us will get kicked out and you'll lose the money on the other, making it that much easier for scum to force you out.

All that being said, Leafsnail, why so lurky? You've only posted 3 times since the game started. Content to let us bet ourselves into oblivion while you sit back and cash in?

^ this. Bastard mod isn't an excuse for playing like a tard.

Does anyone else have anything in their role that can be "taken" like Pandar's? My role is pretty simple, and I didn't know there was stealable stuff.

I'm not sure anyone would want to answer that question at this point for fear of making themselves targets of theft.

Gut feeling. Hell, we lynched Org for less, right? You didn't seem to have a problem with that, or at least you didn't protest.

I don't have much to go on right now. If better options present themselves, then better options present themselves. Mayor Urgmbrogeur's response satisfied me - yours didn't.

Did anyone else have anything stolen from them?
