In that case I will bid 5 and I think that ends the round.

I will then bid my last 3 to start the last round. (I think that's right.)

Could we also see round 6? I know I can figure out what numbers it has but it is unlikely I will do that before Monday.

[dethwing]

Sure:

Round 6: 0, 6, 7, 14, 14

[MatthewV]

Then I will submit my big number for round Five and the one for round Six.

[Scurra]

D*mn.

I tried to logic what people would do for these two rounds, then I gave up. You people play too unpredictably.

Hopefully dethwing read the messages so people can't change now

[dethwing]

I got it. Once I finish tutoring I'll post final results. This came down to his order and flipping it gave a different result.

[Jedo the Jedi]

I banked on Scurra and ref wanting those 15s. If they didn't, I'm FUBARed.

Jedo: 5 --> 0

Ref: 27 --> 15
MNOWAX: 30 --> 15

MattV: 1 --> 0
MNOWAX: 7 --> 6
Referee: 9 --> 7
Jedo: 28 --> 14
Scurra: 29 --> 14

Ref: +22

1. MattV, Money 53
2. Scurra, Money 52
3. MNOWAX, Money 51
4. Jedo, Money 48
5. Referee, Money 47

Very tight! Thanks for playing everyone!

[dethwing]

Note that if Matt flips his order for rounds 5 and 6, the final standings look like:

MattV: 1 --> 0
Jedo: 5 --> 7
Scurra: 13 --> 8
Ref: 27 --> 15
MNOWAX: 30 --> 15

MNOWAX: 7 --> 0
Referee: 9 --> 6
MattV: 24 --> 7
Jedo: 28 --> 14
Scurra: 29 --> 14

Scurra: +22
Jedo: +21
Ref: +21
MNOWAX: +15
MattV: +7

1. Jedo, Money 55
2. Scurra, Money 53
3. MattV, Money 52
4. Referee, Money 46
5. MNOWAX, Money 45

[Scurra]

I think MattV only won by 1 point, not 2 - he won an 8 in round 5.

I reckoned that the most probable scenario scored me 21 whatever MattV did, and also that it was unlikely that he would win a 14 on the last round. But I hadn't properly realised that his most reliable play was therefore to go for the 8. If I had, then I should have gone for the win (trying for both the 14 and the 15) since that only required one of Ref or Jedo to use their big number in round 5 which was a much more reasonable gamble. Hey ho. Did I say how much I hate this game..?

Thanks everyone. Good game.

Awesome :-)

The strange similarity of the last two rounds was funny. Good thing we didn't have 0 14 14 15 15!

The best part is my post 91 came true!

[Jedo the Jedi]

At least I didn't get last.

I'm also glad I actually would have won if MattV had played like I expected him to play. It validates that I was at least thinking along the correct lines.

i spent a good day trying to figure out if i could actually win this game when it came down to it. when i figured i couldn't i just hoped people would massively screw up on their bidding..

I don't believe i had a chance from what i figured. GG everyone, thanks to dethy for modding!

The selling rounds came pretty evil, and it became a game of read-counterread. Rounds 2, 3, and 4 were very similar, and people played them in a very different way, so it could have gone every other way. Congrats to Mattv on a tight win.

Round 1 could be considered the tamest one (if that's a word) and, with that 2 poisoning it, that's some saying.
