Prisoner's Dilemma --- Congratulations to Sudo_Nym and Tamuz

[Khelvaster]

It is forgiving. If you hit me once, I hit you twice. Then I stop. If everyone around defects against me, then I will hit each one of you twice in a row in turn.

[Xdaamno]

I'll probably continue this one (Round 4) as normal, then Round 5 will be merged. Depending on how it goes, I'll decide on rounds 6 onwards.

[Xdaamno]

Starting Action Phase 4

Waiting on blahgo and Korran.

[Xdaamno]

Starting Reveal Phase 5

Action Phase 4 Results:

Korran

and

blahgo

refused to enter the interrogation cell. As a result, the guards have treated this as confessing the the crime. They have both defected against themselves and have recieved the maximum penalty.

JDodge

also jumped on the wagon to avoid maximum penalty.

Korran and blahgo have lost 3HP

Khelvaster

remained a pacifist in the hoped of letting the other convicts rip each other apart. His luck ran out, however, due to

somestrangeflea

.

Sudo_Nym

saw his chance, however, and backstabbed the flea.

Khelvaster has lost 3HP and somestrangeflea has lost 2HP

Guzame

,

Yagami

and

Tamuz

, however, did not approve on

Sudo

's puzzling antics. They agreed to form a convincing story proving Sudo's guilt.

Sudo_Nym has lost 2HP

Everyone else, however, was lucky this time off, and co-operated.

Jordan and Mokina have gained 1HP

Fifth Charge:

Forgery

Gain 1 HP if you Co-Operate, and are not defected against
Lose 1 HP if you Defect, and are not defected against
Lose 2 HP if you Defect, and are defected against
Lose 3 HP if you Co-Operate, and are defected against

Starting Merged Phase 5

Sorry for the very long wait, I should of enacted upon the deadline quicker.

[Xdaamno]

Feel free to send in actions.

[Khelvaster]

Somestrangeflea, I am hitting you this round and next round.

[Tamuz]

There is no beneficial way to play this without risk...

[Sudo_Nym]

That's exactly the point of the game- there is absolutely no way to know what your opponents are going to do, so there is no safe play. There's not even a way to guarantee that your actions will be useful- the three backstabs against me only count once.

[somestrangeflea]

Somestrangeflea, I am hitting you this round and next round.

Great. See you there.

No-one else defect against Khel. It's pointless.

EDIT: Scratch that. Someone else defect against him. If I go down, I'm taking one of you with me...

[Khelvaster]

Somestrangeflea, I am hitting you this round and next round.

Great. See you there.

No-one else defect against Khel. It's pointless.

EDIT: Scratch that. Someone else defect against him. If I go down, I'm taking one of you with me...

I'm only defecting on you twice. I am not 'taking you down.'

[somestrangeflea]

Ah well, someone else probably would anyway...

[Xdaamno]

For those interested, I'm waiting on Tamuz, blahgo, sudo and Korran but I don't want to end the phase yet anyway.

[Tamuz]

I'm waiting on tamuz as well

[Xdaamno]

Thanks for the actions all. I'll give blahgo and Korran until early tommorow, to be fair.

[Xdaamno]

Starting Reveal Phase 6

Action Phase 5 Results:

JDodge

and

Jordan

knew the drill. Wake Up, Eat, Hang Around, Defect

blahgo

, Sleep. The plan was solid. blahgo was so resigned he didn't even defend himself.

blahgo has lost 3HP, and is metaphorically dead

Yagami

and

Tamuz

are more of the pacifist type, however. After reviewing the situation, they decided to try and overthrow

Jordan

, one of the more scheming convicts.

Jordan has lost 2HP

Sudo

and

Mokina

weren't so impressed with

Yagami

and

Tamuz

. As it was obvious those like JDodge weren't going to come quietly, they opposed the straight co-op tactic and defected Yagami.

Yagami has lost 2HP

Further on in the congo line of defections,

Guzame

saw his opportunity to enact revenge upon

Sudo_Nym

once again. Hilarity ensured, as

somestrangeflea

jumped on the bandwagon, and defected Guzame.

Sudo_Num and Guzame have lost 2HP

I'm truly out of flavour to describe what

Khelvaster

did next.

somestrangeflea has lost 2HP

Korran

was feeling the pressure, though. Medics thankfully recovered him from a suicide attempt through hanging, but it was not without loss.

Korran has lost 3HP

This time,

no-one

co-operated, and no-one has gained any health. I suspect the next charge won't change that.


Sixth Charge:

Kidnapping

Gain 0 HP if you Co-Operate, and are not defected against
Lose 1 HP if you Defect, and are not defected against
Lose 2 HP if you Defect, and are defected against
Lose 4 HP if you Co-Operate, and are defected against

Starting Merged Phase 6

Due to the 'death' of only one convict so far, the government has decided not to relax current sentences.

Merged phases are faster, I'm using them.

[Xdaamno]

Modnote: I've not listed those that weren't defected against, but defected, and therefore lost HP. It's reflected in the player HP though.

[Xdaamno]

Anyone want me to post the current leaderboard?

[Sudo_Nym]

Sure, go ahead.

Also, is there any point to discussion this time around?

[Xdaamno]

Yeah, it's obvious the discussion dosen't really here since everyone's playing independantly. I'm leaving the thread unlocked, anyway.

1st Place: Khel (761 points)
2nd Place: Sudo_Num (621 points)
3rd Place: Guzame (605 points)
4th Place: somestrangeflea (585 points)
5th Place: Yagami (569 points)
6th Place: Jordan (567 points)
7th Place: JDodge (471 points)
Joint 7th Place: Tamuz (471 points)
9th Place: Mokina (367 points)
10th Place: Korran (263 points)
11th Place: blahgo (217 points)

It's a game of survival. Minimize your own losses.

[Sudo_Nym]

Did I miss something? Could you explain how you came to calculate each point total, or have you done that already?

[Mokina]

Yeah... how did I get such a low score?

[Xdaamno]

I won't explain it all exactly, but it's dependant on 3 main factors: How high your HP is each round, how high everyone else's HP is each round, and how many other players are dead.

[Xdaamno]

Waiting on 2 players: Korran and Sudo.

[Xdaamno]

Prodding.

[Xdaamno]

Sorry for Sudo, it wasn't his fault. I deleted his message (Somehow)

Starting Reveal Phase 7

Action Phase 6 Results:

Korran

is the second dead player. He resisted restraint and shot himself with a revolver provided by

somestrangeflea

and

Jordan

. Poor guy.

Korran has lost 3HP and is now dead

All was not well, however ( ).

Khelvaster

had teamed with

JDodge

to defect

somestrangeflea

and

Jordan

respectivly.

Sudo_Nym

, unable to resist the bandwagon, saw the perfect time to stab Khel in the back.

somestrangeflea, Jordan and Khelvaster have lost 2HP

On an unrelated note,

Guzame

has one again enacted upon his vendetta against

Sudo

. This time, however, things were more gruesome. Instead of a simple defection, Guzame arranged for a complex series of traps leading to Sudo being shot in the liver. Don't know why, but he did.

Sudo_Nym has lost 2HP

Mokina

thought she was safe. Unfortunatly, her attempt to climb back up the ladder was thrwarted once again, this time by

Yagami

.

Mokina has lost 3HP

Tamuz

was the only convict who co-operated succesfully, and has therefore lost no health. All unlisted convicts have lost 1HP due to defecting.

Seventh Charge:

False Ransom

Gain 1 HP if you Co-Operate, and are not defected against
Lose 1 HP if you Defect, and are not defected against
Lose 2 HP if you Defect, and are defected against
Lose 5 HP if you Co-Operate, and are defected against
