Too Greedy <G6> PM Thoth

[mathcam]

*rolls in his big wad of cash*

Cam

[mathcam]

Norinel, if you need to borrow a couple of bucks until payday, I understand.

Cam

[rite]

I'm in the money...

*Hi-fives mathcam*

Edit: Just for clarification, if the police bust in, do we leave with half our money, or leave with nothing?

[gslamm]

I think you already know the answer to this and are trying to scare some players out.

Remember Rite, your not allowed to sell me anything! ever!

But I'll answer you anyway.

Remember the police are on the case. Each round I will roll a 20 sided die. If the number rolled is equal to or less than the round number the police bust in and arrest the remaining players -$0-.

Anyone who submits a take of $0 for the round or misses the deadline to submit a take has left the game voluntarily with all their previous take.

Nothing

Both Thoth and Mathcam have bid $89,000 and are asked to leave with half their current stash.

[Thoth]

Aaaargh, we're too smart for this world mathcam.

[mathcam]

Wow. How bizarre

, (you bastard.)

Cam

[shadyforce]

I am so smart... I am so smart...

[MeMe]

I am so poor...I am so poor...

[TBuG]

I just took a total unme-ish amount of money this round... But not TOO much higher than my usual 7,000.

MeMe, you say you're poor? I have 14,000.

[mathcam]

Go cops, go! Hmm...why don't I gust give them a little call....

Cam

[rite]

I am totally digging this game... the strategy involved is just too much fun.

[gslamm]

$95,619 left in the pot (best guess my calculator is acting up )
Cops rolled a 7
Round 4 begins now Deadline extended (since I had to relearn how to add and subtract.)

[rite]

Humbug.

Go Cops!

[TBuG]

*jumps* Wow, I almost got out...

[Yanqush]

very interesting to watch and see how some become more conservative, while others become more greedy... hahha

btw, i think Mikehart s suppose to be on $110,000 instead of $90,000

[gslamm]

btw, i think Mikehart s suppose to be on $110,000 instead of $90,000

Well of course he is at $110,000. Thats what it says isn't it?

Thanks for spotting that. Anyone wishing to correct their bid based on the amount now left in the pot please feel free to do so.

In my defense I did say my calculator was acting up. ~oh the shame of it~

[shadyforce]

YAY, go me. Conservative play wins! 8)

[MeMe]

And, by my calculations, there's $95,619 left in the pot.

[Norinel]

That's what I get as well, which I suppose gives the perogative to submit a fourth bid. (I submitted a stupid bid, a correction moments later, a bid after the last correction, and perhaps a fourth bid now)

[gslamm]

Sorry everyone. I'm glad that at least my errors were caught. ~sigh~

Deadline extended to allow for anyone that wants to change their minds.

While were waiting .... Who's willing to discuss their strategy so far? I'm amazed so few psych-out posts have been made. How 'bout our Greedy 4 tell us how they came up with their choices? ...

[mathcam]

I couldn't for the life of me remember how I got to $89,000, but apparently there was

some

strategy (I

do

remember spending some time trying to come up with a good amount), because Thoth picked the exact same thing. If only I had picked 88999. Thoth, do you remember how you got to $89,000?

Cam

[rite]

My gut instinct was to go for a little under $100,000, so I tried to take much under that amount, figuring that someone would be bidding higher. I thought wrong

Once again, go Cops!

[shadyforce]

*bump*
What's taking so long?

[gslamm]

(Sorry for the delay. Based on math errors last time )
