Points to Play [Winner Revealed!]

[lexprod]

Now that Duplicate Deal or No Deal is over, I'm shortly going to feel a huge void in my life if I don't start modding something again. I was considering doing an edition of Points to Play, if there was enough interest. I was thinking of running it with one basic modification each round, so it's not just a straight port of the first game. At the least I have a different way of deciding the winner of the final two that's more efficient than tracking everyone down at the end of the game, but not random

So, any takers?

Here's a link to the original I believe http://www.greylabyrinth.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=11822&start=0

Players:
Amb
MatthewV
MNOWAX
ralphmerridew
Undercover Monk
Courk
sablliminal
Cordelia

[Amb]

WHy not. I did horribly at DoND

[Not Crep'er, no siree*]

[lexprod]

I didn't mean to make it sound insulting, P2P was a successful format. I just thought up a system that lets people put in their two cents on who should win in a different way. I assure you it's not an arbitrary game at the end, it is very much dependent on how the other players feel about the finalists. I've learned my lesson from the Trials of the Gods final

[MatthewV]

I suppose I will play.

[MNOWAX]

i HAVE to play, if for nothing else, then for ties.

How do we feel about a relatively short 6 player game?

[ralphmerridew]

Fine with me.

[sAbLLimINal]

if you need an odd number of players, i'll play i guess.

[lexprod]

Okay, I have a 7 person setup that works, but I'll wait a bit past the weekend to see if we can hit 9 or more. Odd is preferable but not necessary.

[Cordelia]

Bah, I'll play, but someone needs to eliminate me before the end. I don't do very well trying to beg for the win...

[lexprod]

Alright, enough stalling, it's time to begin POINTS TO PLAY: Twists and Turns! Here's the big fat rules post.

Each round I will reveal a twist of some sort, but the basic game stays the same. All players get three point blocks each round: a 1 point, 2 point, and 3 point block. Those points must be given to other players in the thread (IN BOLD for mod legibility). You can give the blocks to the same or different players, and you do not have to give them all away but you can not split up the points within a block.

Once all points are distributed, the player who has the most points is crowned the Decider and selects one player to eliminate from the game. If there is a tie for Decider, the first player to achieve their point total wins. Then the next round starts this process all over again. In the final round, the winner will be determined an a currently unannounced way.

(underlined sentence added)

One note: I will allow outside collusion for this game, so feel free to PM and message on AIM or email or whatever you have to do.

That all being said, each round some sort of twist will be revealed, and if the twist overrules the standard rules. Good luck, and let's begin!

ROUND ONE: Co-opoints to play

This round you have been randomly assigned into teams of two. As a team, you are each given ONE set of points, a 1 a 2 and a 3. You must give them away as a team to other TEAMS, not players. The TEAM that gets the most points will then be the decider. They will then decide as a team one PLAYER to eliminate from the game.

To ensure team play, BOTH players from each team must post the point assignments in bold before it becomes official. The same goes for the elimination.

Here are the teams:
Cordelia & Undercover Monk
ralphmerridew & Courk
Amb & sablliminal
MNOWAX & MatthewV

Have at it!

So, Monk, do we want any points? Do we want to avoid that awful burden of Deciding? Or do we desperately wish to strike someone out?

We could give a set of points to each team.

[MatthewV]

I think we should try to get me eliminated this first round. I don't want to be eliminated. If I try to be eliminated, I get a warm feeling of success or still being in the game.

[Undercover Monk]

well my normal position is to never help Amb, but I still owe him for the help he gave me in BINGO......hmmmm.

The other thing we could do is give all our points to one team and hope they are so grateful they won't attack us. idk any ideas.

[MatthewV]

Well, the dice allow me to confirm 2 and 3 points to rm and Courk

But could you compromise on the 1 point to Cordelia and um?

[Amb]

I have an idea what team I want to give points to? You got any thoughts sab?

[sAbLLimINal]

last time i played this in TOG i failed miserably, so i feel your thoughts will be better than mine.

[Amb]

All our points to go to MNOWAX and MatthewV

If you agree Sab, post the same as me in bold. If not, we can debate more.

I could be swung to helping any team, as there is no one playing here that doesn't deserve points.

[sAbLLimINal]

All our points to go to MNOWAX and MatthewV

[Cordelia]

UM, if you like, we can give all our points to Amb's team then. We'll consider your debt paid, yah? I approve, if that's what you want, go for it.

[Amb]

I wont disagree there.

I could be tempted in future to help UM just because he is UM

[Courk]

Or convinced to help people not named Courk?

6 points to MattV and MNOWAX as a thank you, and in exchange for ralphm and myself not being eliminated?

[lexprod]

Current tally:
Cordelia & Undercover Monk
ralphmerridew & Courk +5(from MNO and Matt)
Amb & sablliminal
MNOWAX & MatthewV +6 (from Sab and Amb)

[ralphmerridew]

I'll follow Courk's idea.

6 points to MattV and MNOWAX

[MatthewV]

Now that it is extremely petty about who gets our 1 point...
1 point to Courk and rm

I don't want to eliminate anybody


How about this- one of us picks the group and the other picks the person. I would rather pick the person than the group.

[lexprod]

Current tally:
Cordelia & Undercover Monk
ralphmerridew & Courk +6(from MNO and Matt)
Amb & sablliminal
MNOWAX & MatthewV +6 (from Sab and Amb) +6 (from rm and Courk)
_________________

[Cordelia]

well, since it doesn't matter at this point, I'll speak for both of us by giving all 6 to Amb and Sab! :D

[lexprod]

I forgot to add how to break ties in picking the decider. If multiple players have the highest score for a round, then the first player to reach that score will win the round.

So in that case this round, MNOWAX and MatthewV are the deciding team with 12, as ralphmerridew & Courk could only get to 12 tops, and would not be the first team to do so. And Cordelia and UM have unofficially given their points to Amb and Sablliminal anyways.

But I digress. MNOWAX & MatthewV must make their decision. Please post in bold which PLAYER you will eliminate from the game.

im a fan of ejecting one of the stronger players here, Amb. What do you think Matt?

I knew that was coming.

Knock off RaLpHmErRiDeW. And if you knock off, say Cordelia instead (hint hint), you will know that I have now angered both of them. That means I won't be getting points from them anymore, and possibly get directed anger from them. Thus I am less a threat.

[Cordelia]

Knock off someone who gave you points and put you in this awful predicament!

[MNOWAX]

[Amb]

I guarantee to give points to MatthewV for keeping me. Unless round rules prevent, I will give you a minimum of 2 points per round.
