What does Rathji get for letting you guys win?

I'm confused as to why this alliance of 4 held, one person has to take a 50/50 risk of getting eliminated for no gain the next round? To you guys agree to let him win the next round? That doesn't seem like a promise worth keeping?

I'm interested to hear why it's worked after the game.

Trust me, it's not nearly as interesting as it could have been.

Will be happy to fill you in when the game is done.

Works for me if we are wiling to both agree that it is happening.

No sense going through the motions and delaying things further.

Well MrK is bidding on 3 plus and unless you are stoping him he wins at 10:32.

So if you want to work to beat MrK I would be game to continue but if you aren't blocking his win we might as well sch file the match

At this time only GGG and Rathji can post. I will set up a quicktopic for the rest of the players.



The eleventh death match is...

QUATTRO

The rules are the same as the third death match

A Quattro refers to when 4 cards all have different numbers and colours
You will trade cards with 6 virtual players and the player with the higher summed Quattro will win

The virtual players are named: Giordano, Brodie, Russell, Hamilton, Engelland and Nakladal

Wideman is suspended.

There will be red, blue, purple and green cards numbered 1 to 6 along with two black 0 cards for a total of 26 cards

1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
0 0


Each player will receive two 2s and two 1s (randomized) to start and the rest will be shuffled and given to the virtual players (3 each)

At this point you will begin trading with the virtual players. There will be a coin toss to determine who goes first. You will take turns deciding to trade cards or not. If you decide to trade cards you may trade a card of your choosing with a virtual player. The card you traded will then be revealed.

The virtual players will choose a card to trade back to you according to the following rules:
1. They will consider cards that were already revealed and choose the best card that can make a quattro
2. If they only have cards that cannot complete a Quattro they will choose the card with the highest number
3. If there are multiple cards with the highest number, they will choose a card in the order of red, green, purple, blue


However, if the virtual player has a 0 card they will always choose the 0 card to trade

The card traded by the virtual player will not be revealed (unless it was already revealed previously). When both players wish to stop trading they will both flip over and reveal one of their cards. Once a card is shown it can no longer be traded and will be in their final score. This process is repeated until all 4 player cards are shown.

You may trade with the virtual players in any order but you MUST trade with all 6 virtual players only once before showing all of your cards. Meaning, both players will make 6 trades in the 4 rounds.

If both players make a Quattro at the end, the one with the higher sum will win.
If the sums are equal, the player with the higher number card will win.
The 0 card will be accepted as a different number and colour and can be used to complete a Quattro

If both players fail to complete a Quattro the player with the higher sum will win
If the sums are equal, the player with the higher number card will win.


Example: 6 5 4 3 of different colors = 18 and is the highest possible score.


Procedure: When trading a player will post in the thread "I would like to trade 2 with Giordano"

Then I will PM the card that they got back. If it is a card that was already revealed then I'll just announce it in the thread.

any questions ask here, I can do a quick example if needed.

It's tails you have won the toss, please choose to go first or 2nd.



The coin toss was brought to you by Mazrim Gamemaster Productions. Buy a great Mazrim game today, or he'll stick the Mafia on you!
