Tension Game 2 (Over)

[mith]

Link to Game 1

There are

10

boxes. Box 1 is worth 1 point, Box 2 is worth 2 points, and so on up to Box 10, worth 10 points.

There are

10

players. Each player has

10

chits.

To join the game, post here and then send me a PM assigning your 10 chits to the 10 boxes. If you put the most chits in a box, you win that box and its points! If there is a tie for the highest number of chits, no one gets the box.

Whoever gets the most total points wins.

If you miss this game, don't worry, I will probably be running other SSGs in the future (possibly this again, or one of the several GL variations of it).

(Please note that I will not count you as /in until you have both posted here and sent a valid PM. I'll update the player list periodically.)

That last game was great, and the exact same thing happened in the Pick Your power game that uses a draft system very similar to how this game is played. Whoever picked the lowest unique number would win the first choice of role, and nobody out of 22 players picked 1.

I wonder if it'll happen again, surely it can't...

bouncy.bouncy or mykonian would have won with 1 in each of Boxes 4 and 8... but they bounced each other out and ended up with nothing!

[SensFan]

I was wondering if 10 was too much in Box 10. But putting 8 or 9 would have looked rather stupid if someone else just put 10.

[mb53]

Good game. Interesting what bouncy did. Good picks Zang.

[mykonian]

bouncy.bouncy or mykonian would have won with 1 in each of Boxes 4 and 8... but they bounced each other out and ended up with nothing!

I think I got where my thinking went wrong...

Congrats zang!

[Hoopla]

Nice one Zang - I'm not sure if bouncy's and mykonian's ideas were worthwhile at all...

[mith]

Hard to argue they weren't worthwhile when they would have won without the other doing something similar.

[Zang]

Cool, I won! Thanks guys

And that was a good strategy to put one in each box, if two people didn't think of it it would have definitely won.

[Hoopla]

Hard to argue they weren't worthwhile when they would have won without the other doing something similar.

Most players will bundle all their chits into one or two slots, so that tactic hinges on everyone avoiding one or two high slots (and nobody else copying the same tactic), which seems unlikely.

Dammit! again
