Hi. Was away since Thursday, sorry. I've thought about it and I like JDodge's plan best. I'm still a little concerned about the amount of potential there is for too many people to shoot the same target or leave a target uncovered because of lack of coordination, but I haven't heard anything I like better yet.
If I'm understand IH's plan right, and did my maff correctly (fat chance) then shooting the person below you in a random list gives us ~65% chance and random suicide pairings give us ~72% chance. A randomised list will avoid the silliness above (eg post 64), which is why I suggested it be random in the first place - I'll do it myself with dice tags if everyone wants it. But as I said, I don't like it because it's deeply not fun (entirely based on luck - what kinda win is that, anyway?), and I'll say now that I'm not going with that plan. I don't know what that does to the odds. I'm aware that it's likely that

out there will think this means I must be scum and will vig me for saying this, but that's where I'm at, and I'm probably not changing my mind.
I'll probably look at what Panzer wrote later and rethink my vote tonight, when my head is screwed on straight. Too much coffee...
