This is a quick game which is entirely contained in the signups. (Credit to Cordelia of The Grey Labyrinth, one of mafiascum's parent sites.)

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. (Note: If you don't post here and send a PM, you will not be signed up - I will take the first 10 who do both and submit a valid assignment.)

Whoever gets the most total points wins.

Players:

Voltgloss
Ozle
Galzria
Insomniac
Dsell
Watno
Kuildeous
theory
Qvist
cayvie

Am I allowed to try to psyche people out by telling them I put all my points into 9 and 2?

Dsell · « **Reply #8 on:** December 05, 2012, 01:49:40 pm »

Just 4 more people need to sign up! I already want to see the results!

Good, my plan of putting all my points into 8 and 4 paid off.

Don't mislead. We all know where you put all your chits.

Dsell · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2012, 02:06:05 pm »

Is putting all 10 on box 1 a good strategy or what??

You'll never beat me -- I put all my chits into Box 11.

Dsell · « **Reply #15 on:** December 05, 2012, 02:11:45 pm »

Axxle? TheMunch? Qvist? Robz? Anybody? 3 more peeps and everyone gets to see the power of box 1.

These boxes go all the way up to 11?

Insomniac · « **Reply #17 on:** December 05, 2012, 02:15:14 pm »

Damnit now putting all my chits into box -1 seems silly

Galzria · « **Reply #18 on:** December 05, 2012, 02:19:52 pm »

I took the majority approach! 1 Chit in each box maximizes the number of boxes I can win!

Kuildeous · « **Reply #22 on:** December 05, 2012, 02:57:27 pm »

Just use a bot to randomly put 10 chits in.

If it's a Goko bot, it can resign after the fourth chit.

Lots of 3s in this one, with Ozle and Watno having the same strategy but shifted one box, while Kuildeous and cayvie were also the same but for the placement of their 4.

cayvie · « **Reply #31 on:** December 05, 2012, 03:21:55 pm »

so the highest score i could have gotten was 15, if i'd gone 5 on 7 and 5 on 8.

I was working hard to avoid groupthink, but I fell right into it. I had hoped that people would simply avoid the 10, knowing how contested it'd be. So much for my lessons in psychology. I was correct that 6 was underrepresented compared to 7. I considered putting 4 in there, but I second-guessed myself.

I suspected the 4 would see little love, and I was right on that. Unfortunately, so was Cayvie. *shakes tiny fist*

Galzria · « **Reply #35 on:** December 05, 2012, 03:34:11 pm »

I won Box 10 with 4 to spare. I could've won anther box easily with that! Drat!

9 made sense to me there for my bet, since if I bet 10 along with somebody else, we both lost. So my betting 10 instead of 9 could only effectively cause someone else to lose. Given that, all that betting 10 earned me was a win over somebody who bet 9. The chances that I would tie with 9 vs win with 10 seemed rather small, so I hoped to steal a Box with my spare chip.

Of course, I could've said the same thing on a bet of 8 vs a bet of 9, but then I'm winning over 7 other bets, while losing to 3. Given the value of the box, those odds no longer seemed as worthwhile. As noted however, in this game I could've valued box 10 at 6 chits and walked away a winner. But given how undervalued that bet would be, it wasn't worth the risk.

Voltgloss · « **Reply #36 on:** December 05, 2012, 03:41:09 pm »

And I, for my part, nearly put 4 chits in box 6 instead of 5, which would have given me the win. So it goes!
