Weber State Group Discussion

[firemeboy]

This is where we will run the challenges. Post away! You will first need to register, you can do so on just about every page.

[firemeboy]

Go ahead and check in. Just so that I can get a feel for how many people have registered.

[firemeboy]

Here are the rules and the first challenge.

Rules:
Rule 1- Everybody starts out with 1000 points.

Rule 2 – Sometimes you will know how many points you have, sometimes you will not. Sometimes you will think you know that you have at least X amount of points, but you will not know the exact number. This will vary based on the game.

Rule 3 – Always e-mail me your answers, unless I tell you that you can post them.

Rule 4 – Feel free to discuss anything in this game unless I specifically state otherwise.

Rule 5 – Many times, cooperation will be greatly rewarded in this game. If you cooperate, the group will get more points than if you had not cooperated.

Rule 6 – Many times, lying, cheating, sneaking behind the back will be rewarded as well.

Rule 7 – If you do not respond to a challenge or ‘game’, then you will lose points. If you miss two in a row, you will be out of the game (though if you let me know in advance, we may work things out…)

Rule 8 – Have fun. Remember, discussion is key so get to know one another… You need to decide who you can trust...

Rule 9 - The person with the most points at the end of the game has the most points at the end of the game. It will be up to each of you to decide who has won or lost.

--------------------

Challenge #1.

As stated above, you each have 1000 points. In this challenge, I am selling 250 points to the highest bidder. You can buy these 'extra' points, with the points you already have. If you bid 100 points, and you are the highest bidder, then you lose those 100 points, but gain 250, for a net gain of 150 points.

There are two catches The first catch is that if you are not the high bidder, you lose half of the points that you bid. If you bid 100 points, and you are not the high bidder, then you lose 50 points.

Whoever bids the lowest loses half of the points of the highest bidder. So if the winning bid was 200, and the lowest bid was 4, then whoever bid four loses 100 points, putting them in dead last.

You can bid as many points as you wish, up to 1000.

If you choose not to bid, you will lose 250 points.

Questions?

e-mail me your bids. The bids cannot be done in public. If you want to raise your bid before the deadline, you are free to do so.

Has anyone thought up any stratagies on this thing yet? I've got a few ideas, but I'd like to see what kind of allegiances I'm up against.

Hi there.

[Chika-Chika]

How pathitic emulator, that is such a obivous move.

[ripple]

Here's just an idea... and I don't know how many people have bid. But does anyone know what happens if everyone has the same bid? There doesn't seem to be a rule on it, at least that I noticed.

Ripple

[Emulator]

Pathetic really? The truth is that you havent the slightest idea of what i am going to do... but would you like to make an alliance?

[Emulator]

i enjoy being called out so that i in turn can shoot you down where you belong so do it call me out see what happens i like things to get heated... see what i intend to do... i dare you to try and find out, come on someone allie with me and see if it is benifical because i believe that working together will benefit all.

[NightRider]

I see that this is going to be very interesting. Lets form teams and destroy the weak and ill. Who dares to come to the darkside?

[167uptown]

Yo

[Emulator]

me likes the darkside as long as i am the sith lord that is... i will be the sith lord right?
Because if i am not the sith lord then i am out...lol this is freaking great

[Zenan]

Your all like a bunch of children.
Emulator I would like to see you do somthing.

[k1l3n]

Lets go Emulator!

[LukeSkywalker]

Very juvinile attitude Emulator.

[LukeSkywalker]

Does someone with at least a semblance of intelligence want to post an Idea?

I’ve decided a few things:
1. Winning this game will not mean getting over 1000 points.
2. Some fool is going to bid an absurd amount.
3. People will either try to win, or think it’s a stupid game, and try to lose.
4. I’m not going to lose.

[k1l3n]

Someone seems a little uptight. It's just a game, firemeboy said himself that we decide who wins or losses, and it's not like we're graded on this.

------------------
--You think so?
Well, you're wrong!

[FUFU]

I'm just signing in.

[firemeboy]

If everybody bids the exact same amount, then the points are distributed evenly, and you all come out ahead.
