Y$150... 9 people... and only 1 winner.

[diginova]

Whoops, should have been 100 instead of 150.

Let's run a social experiment masquerading as a horrible game show
that aired on Fox in 2006, why don't we?

I will give away up to Y$100 to the winner.
The catch? There are 10 players.
Everyone votes for who receives the Yerfbucks.
You cannot vote for yourself.
The vote must be unanimous.
If that fails, one player is out of the game.
Repeat until there is a winner.
(okay, officially one vote shy of unanimous, since you can't vote for yourself.)

Agreeing to split the Y$ is not allowed and will result in forfeiture of the prize.

Pick me

Pick me

I'm not the one making the decision.
8 players remain.

[hyperme]

I meant for being in the game.

[ElMikkino]

*signs* I hope someone like Coolguy doesn't signup...he'd automatically win...or Hammered, for that matter.

[AtkinsSJ]

*signs* I hope someone like Coolguy doesn't signup...he'd automatically win...or Hammered, for that matter.

...Why would people automatically give the yerfbucks to the two richest people on here? :p
(I'm not signing up.)

(I'm not signing up.)

Thus why it's a social experiment.
6 more and the game can run.

[seamonkey]

well you seem to have missed my pm like you asked so IN.

[chaucer]

Sign-up.

[Hammer Up!]

I sign up! :D

[drgamer]

*signs up*

And because I'm too lazy to PM the fact:

I have asperger's syndrome.

[SpaceManiac]

I'll see how this goes.

[happystickman]

Hope I made it! I want in!

You cannot choose yourself.
Discussion is highly encouraged.

To end the game, the vote must be UNAN1MOUS.

Name in red have not sent in their interesting fact.
Names in bold have not voted.

For each player that does not vote, Y$2.50 will be subtracted.

Y$100.00

[drgamer]

How many people haven't submited a vote now?

[diginova]

3 have not voted so far.
The same penalty also occurs for not submitting a fact.

30 hours to deadline.
It takes 9 votes to win, so people that don't vote cause a UNAN1MOUS verdict to fail.

[SpaceManiac]

8 votes? Players-1?

[diginova]

8 votes? Players-1?

but there are 10 players... there were 10 signups before I checked, so I'm running it with 10.

Pleading your case here is allowed, as are alliances.

[SpaceManiac]

Oh, sorry. A bit of confusion there.

[diginova]

Oh, sorry. A bit of confusion there.

I was meaning to have 9, thus the title of the thread.
Twists and ejections due to inactivity may bring it down.

[drgamer]

Well, maybe you have a simple task during each voting period, like posting something, or solving a (simple) problem in the topic, and pming the answer... or at least AN answer, to stay in the game.

Although, I'm not entirely sure on the 'miss a vote and the 100 yerfbucks goes down...

[diginova]

Or maybe actually voting.
And the removing Y$ from the prize is because the social experiment is testing mob mentality, and it is much less useful with fewer players.

I have replacements, so no more reducing Y$. You just get evicted and have no chance of winning.

[Pumpkineater]

*signs up*

And because I'm too lazy to PM the fact:

I have asperger's syndrome.
So do I! Really!
I sign up as a replacement

[diginova]

Voting Over

I am sorry to say that SonicChaos went *poof* and was replaced by CheeseLord.

Now, on to the results of the voting.

Somebody got one vote!
So far, so good.

Somebody got two votes!
Probability dictates as such.

Somebody got three votes!
Wow, someone must be popular.

Somebody got four votes!
Almost there!

Oh... wait.
That's it.

Because of this, you must eliminate someone from your little group.

The elimination round begins below

[SpaceManiac]

1 5 9 8 2, I suppose

[diginova]

Elimination #1

CheeseLord chose 1, 2, 4, 5, and 10.

What he didn't know was that I randomized the list of interesting facts people gave me, and those are indexes into the list.

Those are the people that are up for elimination today.

Based solely on the following interesting facts, choose someone who you think should not win the Y$. PM your number. You cannot roleclaim your fact.

1
I dream of Hamumu-related stuff (games,forum) almost every night

2
I have a soda bottle collection

3
I'm a Black Belt in KARATE!

4
I enjoy making very unconventional weopons

5
I have an iq of 148

Elimination ends 16 August 2009 at 00:00 EDT.

Get to discussion and voting!
If you do not vote, you will have one vote cast against you.

[chaucer]

I must have missed something. Where'd the numbers for the interesting facts come from?

[diginova]

CheeseLord in chat.
I took everyone's interesting fact and randomized them.
I then selected the five relating to the numbers given.
Those were then renumbered 1-5 and posted.

Votes in: 6/10
35 hours remain

[diginova]

There are only 8 elimination votes in.
The deadline is extended 24 hours. If votes are not in by then, those people will be eliminated and the prize reduced.

[drgamer]

Come on guys, it's a simple vote.

[diginova]

Vote Results

Ufo-Man did not vote, but his vote doesn't entirely matter, so I just cast a penalty vote on him..

First, #1 is safe.



Three others tied:

#5 (including the penalty)

#4

and #3.

Thus, seamonkey, Hammer Up! happystickman, and Ufo-Man, you are all safe!



Sadly, that means that the person that will be leaving us today
is the same person that received the most votes to win.
chaucer, the tribe has spoken.

However, the game is not yet over for you!
Even though you cannot win the Y$,
you can still choose who does.
Your vote still counts.
You can still make alliances.
You can still take bribes.



The next vote will occur 36d2 hours from now.
Get discussing who you think should win.

[SpaceManiac]

Gasp? Toenoes? Um, hm... Who's still in? I need convenient lists.

[diginova]

Players Remain:
hyperme
ElMikkino
seamonkey
Hammer Up!
drgamer
SpaceManiac
happystickman
CheeseLord
Ufo-Man

[hyperme]

Vote for me! Nowz!

[CheeseLord]

Due to the magical process I use to decide such things, I have decided to vote for drgamer. No, it has nothing to do with flipping a coin three times.

[happystickman]

Then I willl not. Yipee.

[Ninja of Frozen Milk]

Its funny how people fight for a dollar

[SpaceManiac]

But it's a dollar in special money, that is hard to obtain via other means!

[happystickman]

EXACTLY! Plus, its free money, why not fight for it?

[Ufo-Man]

If you see a floating dollar in the wind, do you chase it? Yes, yes you do.

[diginova]

My 36d2 rolled a 39, so it's time to vote again!
All votes currently received for this round still count.

Vote for who you want to win!
If the vote is unanimous, that player will win Y$100.
You cannot vote for yourself.

Voting ends
20 August 2009 at 14:00GMT.

[diginova]

Been on vacation.

3 people did not vote.
It cannot be Unan1mous if people do not.

However, you were nowhere close anyway.
Choose someone to eliminate.

[diginova]

Yet again, almost nobody voted.
Only 3 votes were cast.
Thus, the game is now canceled.
Nobody wins anything.

Jamul, please lock.

[drgamer]

Dang, I forgot about this game >.<

[Ufo-Man]

Darn lurkers -.-
http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/edoom/Lurking.gif

[ElMikkino]

I forgot too! Waah!

[happystickman]

I too had also forgotten. Wah.

[drgamer]

Well, maybe if we were pmed reminders... Oh well.
