Is the next game going to be a no-communication game, or do you just want us to shut up between games?

At least the first round will be no-communication, I haven't decided about subsequent rounds yet.

[schadd]

i lied a little bit


7 gold on 5 points, 1 on 10 points

[sudgy]

Well, my plan failed.

[pacovf]

I put everything on 2 points.

[Jimmmmm]

I put everything on 2 points.

I did the same. One of us should change.

[Axxle]

Well, my plan failed.

It was pointless.

[pacovf]

I put everything on 2 points.

You didn't claim it. If you are going to contest a bid after the fact, wouldn't it be better to argue for something better than 2 points?

[2.71828.....]

Umbrage gets 15, faust gets 10, I get 5? Sounds about right

[LaLight]

may I have 3?

[sudgy]

Well, my plan failed.

It was pointless.

It would have worked the first round.

I'm not contesting anything. Just letting you know what I did. Any suggestions?

[pacovf]

I mean, you're not giving me much here. You are choosing to ignore the first-come-first-served rule, banking on the fact that it's the last round. Were you schadd, I would let you have it due to the mix up from last round, but you are not. I would expect you to be the one to offer suggestions, since you are the one defying the status quo. If you do not offer any, then the question you need to ask yourself is whose BID you want to make void. If your answer is, "pacovf's", then so be it, but that's a decision you are making knowingly and willingly.

[pacovf]

Unrelated, but if we were to change the rules of the game, rather than changing the way Gold works, I would just make it so there are more options to bid on than players. The strategy is too degenerate otherwise.

PS: autocorrect capitalizes "BID" for some reason.

[Calamitas]

I will not submit any bids this round and I would propose distrubting all <+5p on the players with the fewest points in reverse order. There is no way we would manage to come by without ties otherwise and this is best for the game ad a whole.

I'm not ascribing to any status quo. The status quo for me is to split between a few different options. That wasn't working very well so I tried putting it all on a lower one that might have some chance of being left alone.

[Axxle]

Well, my plan failed.

It was pointless.

It would have worked the first round.

I meant it literally got you no points 

[Dylan32]

Outsch dylan.

I mean, yeah. I could have bid low on 15 and taken the +10 also, which would have been optimal from a points perspective, but I am totally content with 115 and not having to deal with the fallout from that.

Just because you refused to follow the developing meta does not mean that meta does not exist! It just means you are consciously ignoring it, which can only hurt you. Indeed, had you claimed your bid early, you would have gotten those two points without any discussion at all.

You're not getting the points with this line of reasoning. Up to you whether you want to move your bid elsewhere.

Eh, I guess. Who wants to compile the points list?

[faust]

Well my strategy should be obvious.

[Calamitas]

Outsch dylan.

Nah, all fine. Thought you didn't bid at all.

[Calamitas]

I can do it:

1. +15p: UoS
2. +10p: Faust
3. +5p: e
4. +3p: sudgy
5. +2p: Lalight
6. +2p,+2g: gkrieg
7. +1p: Jimmm
8. +1p: Gendo (even though I still wonder whether we should punish him for his insanely unaltrustic bid in R1)

[Calamitas]

I urge everyone else to refuse to bid for anything, it won't bring any good and just harm us as whole.

[schadd]

Well my strategy should be obvious.

it should very much not be

[faust]

Putting gold on the top 3 spots doesn't hurt and prevents people from trying cute tricks.

Good catch. Everyone else should put all their gold on the top spots to ensure no one of the guys with the extra money is trying sth
