Hey, Calamitas, if you want to take the 10 I'll happily switch to +3 gold.

[faust]

It was our advice that freed up that slot after all

Thank you.  I like to think I'd have noticed that yesterday if I were feeling better.  But I didn't, and I wouldn't have thought about it any more today had no one said anything.

That's kind of why I wanted the longer deadlines actually.  I think this makes it clear that both money options and the 15 points on Day 1 were probably super important.

[Calamitas]

Your loss then.

Sorry Faust, will not switch with you then. The offer was very nice but I really don't want to have a triple nothing here.

@Umbrage: Why don't you go for the +6gold? That way you make 15 tomorrow which is better than 10 today and tomorrow probably 0.

That's actually a good point, thanks Calamitas.

So why don't you guys fight over the +10 points instead, I'm going to muscle in on the +6 gold.

Your welcome.

heh... FTFM. Sounds a bit braggy otherwise And I didn't do anything.

[Calamitas]

Sure, I will put everything on +10 points

[Calamitas]

Just for the record, I want to note that at the time I gave uos the advice it was quite likely that I would clinch the +15p myself.

[faust]

I will put everything on +3 gold.

[schadd]

pacovf: 8 gold on +5

oh, i just noticed that.


hey. that's not nice. 

Wait, when did you claim? I missed it.

Mmmmm you got something already? Bid on +3 points? Please?

nah, i mean, you can take the 5 points, it just seems a little impolite

[GendoIkari]

I'm going to say this: if Gendo follows through on his threat to deny Calamitas points, I'll do Gendo a solid in the future.  Not sure in what form, and I'm open to suggestions, but at the very least any "I can screw over player A or player B" decisions from me will break in Gendo's favor.

Nothing against Calamitas, but I'm opposed to winning the game under threat of "well I'm going all in, so either I win or we both lose" and it going to a particular person because they got there first.

And the way to defeat that kind of strategy is cooperation.

This isn't a 0 sum game, but there is a winner.  I don't think we're going to be able to make it a perfect tie, nor do I think that's ever going to be in the interests of a majority of people.  But I'm going to try to reward people screwing up the strategies that create runaway winners.

And yeah, the social aspect of this is really interesting too.  We aren't going to act perfectly randomly or all obey whatever the equilibrium strategy is in any given game, and that's fascinating.

Woo, I've earned a favor!

I have no idea how to play this game. It feels awkward when one person says "I'm going to put everything on +15" and then my choices are simply either we both get nothing, or that person gets more than I do. I see the nice advantage of getting gold early though. Though it seems literally impossible for me to get any gold this round; as the only 3 gold spots supposedly already have 8 gold bid on them.

Oh well. I don't see an actual claim for +3 points, so I'm putting 8 gold on +3 points.

[LaLight]

well, erm, posting.

hard to catch up after you guys, haven't had much time for this thread and don't think I will catch up now. I will put 2 on +3, 2 on +2, 2 on +1, 2 on +1. Is it okay? I understand I won't win now, But I wont to be in some top tier I suppose.

Already submitted btw.

Yeah, this was my problem yesterday.  The fact is that I'm now convinced it doesn't play to the win condition, but it bugs me, and that's kind of where I was going with my wondering if carrying about relative rankings somehow naturally arises from the limited resources.

I honestly did not see your claim, otherwise I would have gone for something else that wasn't taken yet.

[gkrieg13]

I'll put everything on +1p

All in on +15 obviously.  Since I don't actually have any points yet.

But maybe money can buy happiness/points.

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