Felix: Game has begun! Round 7 - Send Cats [4/5] (Matt)

[Zag]

bid 6

[Undercover Monk]

if 2 dogs are played simultaneous they are wiped out. you could have played a small dog. besides I would have had to up the bid to 9 which would have left me with the same amount of total points and less wiggle room with money.

Scurra passes for 4 revealing...another small dog!

0, Small Dog, 5, Small Dog, ?

[Zag]

It's a pretty safe bet that Jedo didn't put any big points in there, so I'll PASS.

[Jedo*]

Joke's on you.

[dethwing]

Last card was an 8, meaning Monk pays 10 for 13 points.


1. Scurra (18) [Cats: -5]
2. Jedo (8) [Cats: 18]
3. MattV (16) [Cats: 13]
4. Zag (34)
*5. Undercover Monk (17) [Cats: 13]

Bank: 15

Exactly enough to pay this round.

[Zag]

[MatthewV]

If you get rid of all your bad stuff you become predictable. (my spreadsheet is at home, I will send later)

[Undercover Monk]

sent and I bid 7

[Jedo the Jedi]

I guess I'll collect my 2 again.

[Scurra]

OK, confused now.
UM bid 7. It was therefore my bid. Why reveal a cat?

(I would still have bid 8 and Jedo would have then passed revealing that 3, so I don't think that it's a major problem.)

The 3 is UM's, revealed straight away. After Jedo passes dethwing will reveal your card.

[Scurra]

D'oh. Obviously I haven't properly woken up this morning.

I'm going to assume that means you're bidding 8.

Jedo passes for 2, revealing a 15.

3, 15, ? , ?, ?

Over to matt.

[MatthewV]

Bid 16.

[Zag]

bid 18 (That'll take it, because no one else can overbid it.)

[dethwing]

All righty then.

Monk gets 3, Scurra gets 4, and Matt gets 6.

Revealing: 3, 15, 11, 3, 15 = 47.

Eesh.

1. Scurra (22) [Cats: -5]
2. Jedo (10) [Cats: 18]
3. MattV (22) [Cats: 13]
*4. Zag (16) [Cats: 47]
5. Undercover Monk (20) [Cats: 13]

Bank: 18

Send for round 6!

[MatthewV]

Eeek.

dethwing... is it hard to provide a summary of who sent what each round? I still find it confusing to match person + card.

[dethwing]

First card is monk's 3. Second card is Scurra's 15. And so on:
Jedo 11, Matt 3, and Zag 15.

[Scurra]

It hardly seems worth bothering.
I thought Jedo's opening round was going to be hard to top, but that's extraordinary.

Sorry, but I've completely lost track of what cards I have left (never mind keeping track of what cards others have played). I've been thinking that all the info is actually in the thread, and I'll go put it together when I need it, but is there any chance one of you with a spreadsheet would like to post it?

[Duke Gnome]

I didn't have anything better to do, so I've spent a couple of minutes collating what has been played.

Everybody has 4 of the following 5 cards.

S:11, 5, 0, -5, BD
J:15, 3, -5, BD, SD
M: 11, 5, -5, BD, SD
Z: 11, 8, 5, -5, -8
U: 11, 8, 3, -5, BD

[Zag]

Thanks!!

So that this post has some actual content, here's an inspiration message from my religion (Science).

[Scurra]

I really hate these evangelising fundamentalists - they pop up everywhere and spoil everyone's fun.

[dethwing]

I have no idea what that means.

[Undercover Monk]

it means I bid three and that I was telling my imaginary butler (Jeeves) to inform dethwing.

but I see I can not bid three, don't know what that was about. I bid 8

sorry to cause you confusion

[Jedo the Jedi]

So now, if Scurra really wants to bid intelligently, he will let me in on the bidding so that I have a chance of getting more pass money and not the competition. At least that's what I'm hoping so I can actually bid once.
