RULES OF PLAY

Game Setup

1. Players join by

/in

.
2. After 48 hours, the Moderator will randomly select 6 players.
3. The Bank is credited with 120 chips.
3. A player is randomly chosen to go first.

Object

To have the most chips at the end of the game.

On Each Turn

One chip will be removed from the Bank and added to the Pot. The player will roll one four-sided die (

Original Roll String: 1d4

1 4-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

). If the player rolls a 1, he is "aced out." His turn is over and the next player begins his turn.

If the player does not roll a 1, he may either collect the Pot and end his turn, or he may roll again. If he rolls again, two chips will be removed from the Bank and the player will roll two four-sided dice. If he rolls a 1 on either die, he is "aced out." If he doesn't roll any 1's, he may take the pot or keep going with three dice.

This process continues, using one more die and adding one more chip each time you repeat. If the player ever rolls a 1, he is aced out, and if he doesn't roll a 1, he may either take the Pot or roll again. Whether he aces out or passes, the next player always starts again at one die. Anything left in the Pot remains for the next player to shoot for.

Winning

If the player makes it all the way to 5 dice and still doesn't ace out, he immediately wins the Pot and collects the remainder of the Bank. Otherwise, the game continues until the Bank is empty.

After the Bank is emptied, the winner is the player with the most chips.

MODERATOR RULES

1. Although not requried, all moves should be bolded. At the least, your move should be obvious.
2. If players wish to table talk, it is invited at all times by all players.
3. Feel free to ask questions. Either PM me or precede the questions with "Mod".
4.

Dark Red

text is reserved for the Moderator.
5. Invisible or small text is allowed, but only minimally.
6. With each turn (and in the first post), I will announce whose turn it is, the status of that player, and their available plays. If an incorrect play is made, I will announce it and allow the player to play again. This does not extend the deadline.
7. Each player will have 2 days from my update to move. If a move is not made, the turn will be "passed". I will try to find a replacement for a player that deadlines 3 times in a row, but the game will not stall while waiting.
8. If you are comfortable in the rules of the game and know that your turn is next, feel free to make the turn prior to my update. Remember, however, that if you do not realize the situation has changed, you may miss out on a better play.
9. If you see an error, please point it out as soon as possible.

We have enough for a game. However, I will still take /in requests until the date in the first post. At that time, I'll randomly choose the 6 players to play.

[yawetag]

7 people signed up. The game was made for 6, but I don't see a problem adding a 7th. I'll add 20 chips to the bank, making the total 140 chips.

Turn order will be randomized:

There were 7 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

1. chenhsi
2. RayFrost
3. NotablePariah
4. Rhinox
5. zoraster
6. bird1111
7. jmj3000

Timestamp: 2009-12-19 10:56:01 UTC

The game will begin soon.

:chirpchirp: does rayfrost know it is his turn?

I don't know why I gave him 4 days to make his move. That has been fixed. He does know it's his turn - I PM whenever it's someone's turn, and then again after their deadline, giving them 24 hours. He has read this PM. If he doesn't move by tomorrow at 4:30am Central, his turn will be skipped.

I think that may take jmj out of the running.

You might want to read the "Winning" section in the rules again.

[yawetag]

it all depends on bird and luck... if bird aces out, thats 37 chips up for grab, if he rolls and stops, the best i can do is tie with chen

Exactly. In effect, you are not statistically eliminated. If my calculation is correct, it's about a 0.33% chance of you winning (assuming bird aces out on the first roll).

There are no chips left in the Bank. The first player to roll without acing out gets the rest of the chips and the game will be over.

Thank you everyone for playing. I hope you all had fun. I will be PMing you all a link to a survey through my Google Docs site. The survey will help me gauge how well you liked the game, and whether it should be played here again. The survey is anonymous and all of the answers are optional.

[yawetag]

I'd play again, if thats what you're trying to get out of the survey. When I realized the survey required more thought than the game actually did, I gave up

Essentially, yes. I like to see how the players enjoyed the game, and whether they'd like to see it on here again. Either way, it would be a while before

I

bring it back -- I play at least 5 games between the end of a game and before I put the game back in the rotation.
