Too Greedy <G6> PM Thoth

[Fishbulb]

Or: Gah. Stupid no internet on the weekends.

Fellow week-day scummer, as well. I barely made it in time myself (about an hour before deadline). Good thing I woke up early.

[Fishbulb]

You can always check your Sentbox if you are unsure, Stewie.

[Fishbulb]

Doh!

[Fishbulb]

Yeah, I missed the final post, too.

Well, good game everyone! Now, please excuse me while I disturbingly rub my plethora of bills all over myself.

[Fishbulb]

Fishbulb, Fishbulb, Fishbulb...when will you learn?

I did win last time, y'know?

[Fishbulb]

Someone was the closest to me last game; you were 4th. I wouldn't call that robbed. I believe you are referring to PBuG in game one, correct?

[Fishbulb]

Hehe... No problem.

[Fishbulb]

No no no! The more that play = less money for us.

(Just kidding, feel free to join in.)

[Fishbulb]

So what are you two trying to say?

*whistles obliviously*

Alright alright. One slight problem, I don't fully grasp all of the rules, I've just been stumbling my way through the games. However, I will try to find where the rules were explicitly stated in this thread and figure them out.

Send away!

Deadline

... eh...

Monday 12:21 PM EST (GMT - 5).

[Fishbulb]

See? How do you expect me to figure it out, if you guys don't know how it works??

[Fishbulb]

Hey, that's fine with me as long as we all come to an agreement by Monday.

[Fishbulb]

Yeah, I don't see the need for a max bid.

Deadline:

(...or when they are all in, so hurry up and we'll move on faster.)

[Fishbulb]

I must sincerely apologize to

tehgood

. He sent a PM amidst all of the bids from other players and I assumed it was just another bid. When I went through marking them down this morning, I finally realized he was asking if he could play, and didn't include an amount. I contemplated delaying the game, but with the lack of interest in this particular run, I figure we can get it finished quick enough for him to be in the next one pretty quick.

[Fishbulb]

Alright folks. Deadline is coming around in a couple hours. Missing half of the choices...

[Fishbulb]

Standings removed... Because I suck.

Correct ones to be added later.

[Fishbulb]

Awww man. I screwed that up, Thoth. I did all of the math right, just messed up the names.

Stewie, sorry, I had already posted the results (kinda, they were screwed up, but you did see what amount was the highest). You and rite are still in the game, just a little behind.

[Fishbulb]

Actually, I got your PM Thoth, I just named you shadyforce for some reason. Alright, to clear things up. Stewie and rite never got a bid in and rather them say they left or were too greedy, I'm leaving them in, they are just grossly behind. Still have a chance, though. I had thought about extending, but since this is just a quick little game, and we have players waiting to join in next round, I thought it made sense to keep it moving.

Anyway, here are the

real

standings:


Shadyforce asked for $54,999 making him forfeit half of his earned cash.
Stewie and rite just hang out, not asking for anything.

• $47,800
  - $145,400 - rOver
  
• $44,876
  - $143,763 - Thoth
  
• $48,000
  - $142,500 - mathcam
  
• $00,000
  - $099,990 - Stewie
  
• $00,000
  - $097,998 - rite
  
• $47,000 - shadyforce
  
• $00,000 - Kerplunk

[Fishbulb]

Mathcam asked for $50,000 making him forfeit half of his earned cash.

• $47,699
  - $191,462 - Thoth
  
• $26,500
  - $171,900 - rOver
  
• $48,000
  - $145,998 - MeMe
  
• $42,000
  - $141,990 - Stewie
  
• $71,250 - mathcam
  
• $47,000 - shadyforce
  
• $00,000 - Kerplunk

[Fishbulb]

Usually there are more players, which means more rolls.

I'm fine with whatever you guys decide, but it's probably too late to change it for this game.

[Fishbulb]

Grumble, grumble...

Stewie and rOver missed the deadline...

Thoth asked for $37,694 making him forfeit half of his earned cash.

• $28,450
  - $174,448 - MeMe
  
• $00,000
  - $171,900 - rOver
  
• $00,000
  - $141,990 - Stewie
  
• $95,731 - Thoth
  
• $71,250 - mathcam
  
• $47,000 - shadyforce
  
• $00,000 - Kerplunk

[Fishbulb]

Hmmm... Well, then in reality, the game had been lost a couple nights ago when rite and Stewie missed sending it in. I don't think they were aware of this rule, either, since neither responded with it. However, due to all of the error and inconsistencies, I say we give it up and crown... eh... fine, MeMe as winner.

(Sorry about the horrid mod job. *hangs head in shame*)

[Fishbulb]

Sure, but I have no idea who to send it to. I think I've had my mod responsibility revoked after that debacle.

[Fishbulb]

Alright, fine, everyone wins! Even Kerplunk!

[Fishbulb]

Ouch, Fishbulb. If you have just asked for $3,000 more, you could've gotten away with it and taken the lead.

You mean $2,000, right? What kind of math do you teach?

[Fishbulb]

Well, you might want to up it to $100k or so, since you severely behind, MeMe.

[Fishbulb]

You mean $2,000, right? What kind of math do you teach?

Huh? You got $45,670, and Shadyforce asked for $48,700.

No, Shady asked for $47,900. Look at the the top line.

Sorry for missing, Thoth. Not a good week for me.

[Fishbulb]

True, and it's not over yet, so I still have a chance as long as the cops hit soon.
