What the heck.
I think I was reluctant before because I am just lousy at the game (despite it being one of my favourite fillers that I carry around in my bag at all times.)

I don't think I would be as good without the visual. I will play as a last resort to reach 5/6.

I will be gone from Jan 21 to Jan 29 and may or may not have time/internet/interest to participate in games during that time.

[dethwing]

I have no problem with taking a break. Ref told me he's in by IM so that gives us 5, assuming Jedo is ok playing. I'll leave this up a bit more and see.


1. MattV
2. MNOWAX
3. Scurra
4. Referee
5. Jedo

[Elethiomel]

Not a sign up.

What are the rules, if you don't mind explaining?

Edit: Nevermind, found them: http://www.greylabyrinth.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?p=488611#488611

[dethwing]

Sorry Elethiomel, forgot to link them. Are you planning on joining?

[Elethiomel]

I'll pass, don't think I have the patience to play that game on a forum.

[MatthewV]

I would expect this game to take about a month

[dethwing]

Ok, ready to start.

Turn order:

1. Scurra, Money 14, Houses:
2. MattV, Money 14, Houses:
3. Jedo, Money 14, Houses:
4. Referee, Money 14, Houses:
5. MNOWAX, Money 14, Houses:

Round 1: 1, 5, 14, 17, 18

Money is a little tighter with 5 people. You have 14 to go through 6 rounds.

Kick us off scurra.

[Scurra]

Bid 3

I'll let this one pass.

[Jedo the Jedi]

Clarification since it's been a while: MattV takes the 1 immediately, correct? So if I pass, I receive the 5?

If the answer is yes, I will do that. Otherwise I'll have to think some more.

I did think about putting down 4. But nobody would have bid 5...

[dethwing]

1. Scurra, Money 11, Houses: 18
2. MattV, Money 14, Houses: 1
3. Jedo, Money 14, Houses: 5
4. Referee, Money 14, Houses: 14
5. MNOWAX, Money 14, Houses: 17

Round 2: 4, 9, 13, 15, 30

[Jedo the Jedi]

Wait. The order doesn't change? Is that just because Scurra remained high bid and everybody else passed?

I've determined I drew terrible position. Why didn't you win that last one outright, MattV?!
