Elect the Executioner 4

[pacman281292]

Give 2 to dahill1

I will think what to do with the other point later.

[RandomGem]

Bandwagon time!

Give 3 to dahill1

[RandomGem]

Uh...wait...
Why am I not on the list...

[pacman281292]

*cough* chenhsi ignored you *cough*

[RandomGem]

Well, that sucks.
/out, I guess.

[dahill1]

thank you to everyone giving me points. you are (of course) guaranteed safety, as well as everyone else but Max. however, later in the game i will be more likely to side with those that have given me points, as opposed to those that haven't

i'll decide how to distribute my points a little later

[Cybele]

Weep not for me, for I am dead.

[chenhsi]

[chenhsi]

That is correct!

[Litral]

3 to dahill1

[Litral]

Actually, unless there's 3 people left, you will always win if the number of points greater than (3n-3)/2 (not equal to) with n being the number of competitors, assuming you give your points to anyone but your competitor. This is because if you have gained more than (3n-3)/2 points, you gave 3 points to someone else, then your opponent must have fewer than (3n-3)/2 points. The "normal" solution is greater than 3n/2 points, so this only saves either one or two points depending on whether the number of players is odd or even, but one or two points can be important near the end.

Which also means dahill is elected. Application of what I said above: If he gives 3 points to someone who is not kloud, then either that person or kloud can only get 17 points at most, since there are 14 points remaining with dahill's 19, kloud's 3 and someone else's 3.

So actually, there is some strategy involved in whether to give points early or late.

...

Yeah.

[PimHel]

UHM... I agree with Litral? What is it what he said? Can't we just play this game without any math involved?

The only thing I understood from this post is that dahill1 is ging to be the executioner. And the things he wants to achieve are pretty clear. I don't know why he wants max dead, but I also don't know why I want max to be alive.
If I'm correct he needs 1 more point.

1 point to dahill1

[raider8169]

Well dispite my attempt to not make this round so close it seems as if we have an executioner elected. Kill away!

[MafiaSSK]

3 to dahill

[dahill1]

Being the good-old player that he is, dahill1 sticks to the tradition and

BRUTALLY ASSASSINATES

Max.

[Max]

Crap, I didn't even know it started.

[kloud1516]

My proposal from Pre-game/Round 1 still stands: My target is Cybele. Everyone else is guaranteed safety and my gratitude. Sure, Cybele says now that once I am dead she will kill herself, but I seriously doubt that she was referring to herself as the number two target. Someone else out there is not safe, and who is to say that more than just two people are on her hit list?

[Cybele]

Weep not for me, for I am dead.

[Litral]

I am addicted to flavour-posting gruesome/ironic/emotionally powerful murders as well. Isn't everyone?

give 3 points to Cybele

[raider8169]

I like the other logic,

Give 3 points to the underdog, kloud1516

I see this as 1. Either way I am not suppose to die yet, 2 someone else dies and 3 if I am not picking the right person Cybele dies the following round. Its win win except for kloud and cybele.

[dahill1]

3 points to kloud

im a little wary of Cybele proposing to kill herself later
the point of the game is to be the last survivor, play to win

[Cybele]

Weep not for me, for I am dead.

[raider8169]

Yeah, but I'm bored with that. this is my fourth game. I'm in to post fun death scenes. (which is why I'm really disappointed that BB isn't here. )

I think this is my third and I have yet to even post a death scene. Of course each person likes these games for different reasons. I like to try and survive, of course doing so means I will never win but its still fun to try.
