Would any of you be interested in subbing in for Scotty for Round Ten of The Genius? This would mean playing against Golden, SnakeDaisy, and either DH or EdJou in the following game: http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 252&t=1558 It'll probably take about 5-8 days. If you were to lose this Match, or you were specially chosen by the loser, you'd also take part in the Death Match, a yet-to-be-revealed game where the loser is eliminated. Provided that you don't lose the Death Match, Scotty would then return from his cruise ship shenanigans to take part in Round Eleven.

It'd be quite fun, I promise.

I'll do it.

Alrighty, cool beans. It might help you to lightly familiarize with the general rules of the Genius (posted here: http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 69#p430724 ) so you know what the hell people are talking about when they bring up "Garnets" or "Tokens of Life."

DH and EdJou are under BTSC lockdown, by the way. They can't PM anyone else about the game, and no one else can PM them.

Alright.

The Round Nine Death Match between DharmaHelper and EdJou will begin shortly.

Scotty has requested that a Surrogate play for him in Round Ten, so if anyone knows of any possible users willing to fill in, please let me know.

[mention]EdJou[/mention] - TWELVE GARNETS

[mention]SnakeDaisy[/mention] - ELEVEN GARNETS

[mention]Golden[/mention] - TEN GARNETS

[mention]Scotty[/mention] - TEN GARNETS

[mention]DharmaHelper[/mention] - ZERO GARNETS

[mention]SnakeDaisy[/mention] - [4] [x] [3] [-] [1] = 11 Points - WINNER
[mention]Golden[/mention] - [5] [+] [4] = 9 Points
[mention]Scotty[/mention] - [2] [x] [6] = 12 Points
[mention]EdJou[/mention] - [6] [-] [1] = 5 Points
[mention]DharmaHelper[/mention] - [7] [-] [6] = 1 Point - ELIMINATION CANDIDATE

As the winner, SnakeDaisy gains 11 Garnets and two Tokens of Life, one for herself and a player of her choice. Once SnakeDaisy decides who to give her second Token of Life to, DharmaHelper may decide which of the two leftover players he will take to the Round Nine Death Match.

As all five players have completed equations, and therefore no need to bid on the [10] tile, I've decided to end the Match early.

Results incoming.

Two prebids for the [+} auction:

SnakeDaisy bid {9}.

Golden bid {9}.

The tile goes to no one.

CUBE/TILE COUNTS

Golden

I have received 2 prebids for the [7] [-] tiles. Beginning with the lowest:

Other players have an hour to top/match DH's bid.

The auction for the [6] [-] tiles has begun.

I did not receive any prebids.

I have received 4 prebids for this auction.

Starting with the smallest bids:

Regarding your question, I rewatched the episode in advance of this and it doesn't seem to be that way to me. Unless INH has changed the rules from the way it was on the show. They are two separate tiles and the players seem to treat them as though they can put them where they want in their expression.

Daisy is correct, they are two separate tiles sold as a bundle.

I have received three bids for the [2] and [x] tiles. I will reveal them via the process described in this post:

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 12:08 am As I realize the fact that not everyone will be able to be online at the times of the auctions of the tiles they desire, you may PM me stating in advance that you'd like to use a certain cube, or a number of cubes, in a future auction. If I receive cubes in advance, I will reveal them at the start of the auction, beginning with the lowest cube received. If I receive in advance two of the same number cubes, they will cancel each other out, and the tile will be removed from auction. In this case, any number of cubes higher than the two tied cubes would be returned to their owners.

DharmaHelper bid {2}.

EdJou bid {2}.

This means that no one wins the auction, and the third, not-to-be-revealed bidder will keep whatever cube they attempted to bid.

This post does not count as a legitimate pre-bid, as it must be submitted via PM.

Basically, I’m not confirming this WIFOM.

I’m gonna be logging off pretty quickly. Will be back around 7 AM tomorrow.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 10:57 pm How can there be multiple winners if the game ends the moment someone makes 10?

This was an error in the explanation that I took from the show. It doesn’t apply in this version of the game. Let me state this definitively: there can only be one winner, and tiles/cubes cannot be traded.

SOLD to Scotty

The [x] sign is now officially up for auction.

Aaaaand it goes to no one.

The [+] sign is now officially up for auction.

SOLD to Dharmahelper.

Just a heads up, I will be AFK from about 11 PM to 7 AM CST.

Because, y'know, sleep.

SOLD to Golden.
