The Syndicate

THREAD-BASED - OPEN BTSC

In Betting Rock, Paper, Scissors, you will choose to play or bet on the result of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The player with more chips at the end will win the game.

This game will consist of 11 rounds. The spectating players will each be randomly assigned one of those rounds to participate in. Every round without a player will be played against a virtual player. Once the orders have been decided, each spectating player will PM me their choice of rock, paper, or scissors. This choice cannot be changed during the game. The virtual players’ choices will be revealed when the game begins. The two elimination candidates will start with 1 chip each. In each round, you will either play Rock, Paper, Scissors, or bet on the result of the game. The starting player will choose to play or bet. The following player will get the option that wasn’t chosen. In other words, if the starting player chose to play in Round 1, the following player must bet on the result. The starting player for Round 1 will be randomly decided. From Round 2 on, both players will take turns being the starting player.

If you choose to play, you will play Rock, Paper, Scissors against the spectator’s choice for that round, PM’ing me your choice out of the three options. In Rounds 1, 2, and 3, you will earn 1 chip if you win. In Rounds 4, 5, and 6, you will earn 2 chips. In Rounds 7, 8, and 9, you will earn 3 chips. In Rounds 10 and 11, you will earn 4 chips. If you choose to bet, you must bet on the result, before both cards are revealed. When betting, you must bet at least 1 chip on whether your opponent will Win, Lose, or Draw. You do not need to bet if you have no chips. If you guessed the result correctly, you will get double the amount of chips you bet. If you were wrong, your chips will be removed. If it’s a Draw, you will get back the chips you bet. However, if you bet on a draw correctly, you will get triple the amount of chips you bet. If you were wrong, your chips will be removed. The player with the least chips at the end of Round 11 will be eliminated, and the other player will advance to the next stage of the competition. In the event of a tie, a twelfth round featuring a virtual player will function as a tiebreaker.

The nine spectating players listed above must PM me their choice of Rock, Paper, Scissors. If they fail to PM me their choice in the next 24 hours, they'll be replaced by Virtual Players. Once I have received all of the RPS decisions, [mention]Lunalee[/mention], who has been randomly chosen to be the starting player, will decide to either play or bet first. [mention]speedchuck[/mention] will do whatever she chooses not to.

This is more complicated than I thought it would be.

I will bet first

Alrighty. When all 9 spectating players PM me their choice of Rock, Paper, or Scissors, Speedchuck can play against Golden while you bet on the outcome of Round 1.

[mention]EdJou[/mention]
[mention]Long Con[/mention]

I still need you to PM me your choice of Rock, Paper, or Scissors. The deadline is 3:40 PM CST today.

Biggest surprise of the game so far for me is that I didn't successfully send my choice of rock in yesterday.

EdJou didn't end up sending me a PM, so he has been replaced with a Virtual Player. The final line-up for this Death Match is as follows:

1. Golden
2. VIRTUAL PLAYER - PAPER
3. Spacedaisy
4. nutella
5. M Plus 7
6. DharmaHelper
7. VIRTUAL PLAYER - ROCK
8. Scotty
9. VIRTUAL PLAYER - SCISSORS
10. Long Con
11. DisgruntledPorcupine

ROUND 1

Lunalee: 1 chip
Speedchuck: 1 chip

Speedchuck will play against Golden. [mention]speedchuck[/mention], please PM your choice of Rock, Paper, or Scissors. After I've received that PM, Lunalee can choose to bet on the outcome.

Absolute savage move to post this and not send in a replacement PM.

I sent a PM immediatly before that....

Whatever...

What is CST?

Sent a test PM for shits n gigs. Glad this didn't actually matter much.

For future reference, the betting player can post their bets in this thread instead of PM'ing them to me.

Lunalee bet her one chip on Speedchuck winning against Golden.

Speedchuck chose: Rock
Golden chose: Paper

Paper covers Rock, so Speedchuck fails to gain any chips, and Lunalee's bet fails. Lunalee now has no chips, and can only gain them by playing and winning.

small error. The Virtual Player for Round 2 was previously publicly revealed to be playing Paper. I accidently listed it incorrectly.

Lunalee has played. I'm counting this as Speed's bet:
