Minority Rule Voting Game!

[blackmage_nuke]

I was going to be polite and wait for Laddy to finish his Social Council Game but that looks like it might take a while.

So I will start another game called...MINORITY RULE! (If you have seen the Liar Game manga/drama series then you will be familiar with the basic rules of this game.)

Basic Rules:
Every round participants will vote on a yes/no question (the question itself is arbitrary) However unlike a majority rule, where the one with the most votes wins, the people who voted for the minority answer will pass through to the next round. (eg. if there were 4 votes yes, and 6 votes no, then everyone who voted no would be knocked out). Hopefully we can play multiple games of Minority rule. The games can be quite short as over 50% of contestants are knocked out every round. When you win a game you get 20 points. By default everyone starts with 60 points

So how is it possible to win!?
So maybe you can lie and make deals with people to get them to vote for what you want them to vote for by-

Contracts:
Simply put you can write up a 'contract' in the following format:

I will give (name) (number) points if (he/she) votes (yes/no)

eg:
I will give blackmage_nuke 5 points if he votes yes

You must foward this in a pm to both me and the person it concerns. Unfortunately I can not handle contracts any more complex than this or else it would get really slow/confusing. You can have as many contracts as you like as long as the points you promise dont exceed how many points you have. You can also have more than one name on a contract:

I will give (name1) and (name2) (number) points each if (he/she) votes (yes/no)

Other stuff:
What happens if you forget to vote for a round?
Then you are eliminated from that game (But anyone who has signed up is automatically included at the begining of every game)

What happens if there is a tie?
Then the round starts again (those who didnt vote are still eliminated) and in the event there is a tie 3 times in a row then the points are divided amongst the remaining contestants and any remaining points are added to the prize in the next game.

Are the votes revealed at the end of every round?
Yes including who voted for what.

What happens if no one votes?
If it is the first round of the game and no one votes then everyone is eliminated and all points are added onto the prize for the next round. If no one votes on any round after the first round then the prize is split amongst the remaining contestants and the remainder is added to the prize for the next round. If no one votes on the first round for 3 games in a row then the entire game ends.
So eventually this may become a - who is the most active/idle game.

Each round goes for 48 hours or until everyone has voted.

Those who want to sign up do so now! We will begin in a few days or when there are enough people

Basic Rules
wall of textOh, blackmage :joker:

The basic rules was just the paragraph after basic rules: the rest is filler.

To summarise for everyone who thinks it's confusing:
You all vote yes/no
the choice with the least votes wins.

and you can buy what other people vote for

[blackmage_nuke]

Game 1, Round 1 Start

The first question to start the game is-
"Are you a member of EoFF?"

Pm me your vote title "Vote" and any contracts titled "Contract"

You have 48 hours from when this message is Posted (not edited)

All contracts are paid out at the end of this round. Remember a contracts must be sent to both me AND the person it is concerning.

A reminder that you can join in at anytime but you will have to wait for this game to finish.

[Jiro]

Just posting my support for this idea. My head is starting to hurt already, but go for it!

[DarkBahamut]

I hope this game doesn't go down the drain. It seems like Council is also.

[krissy]

liar's game is a really good book

[blackmage_nuke]

And time is up (Or it was several hours ago)

The Votes are in:

Timekeeper Yes
Rodarian Yes
Crimson Yes
Demon Dude No
Laddy No
DarkBahamut Yes
leader of mortals Yes
Darkswordofchaos No
Shattered Dreamer N/A
f f freak Yes

That's 6 votes for Yes and 3 votes for No!

No is the winner!

There were no point transfers for this round!

Congratulations, the following contestants have made it to the next round:

Demon Dude
Laddy
Darkswordofchaos

BUT WAIT!

For those of you who have been eliminated, there is yet another surprise for you as I introduce a new aspect of the game...

GAMBLING!
Thats right, you can now place bets with your points on who you think will make it through the next round!
Just PM me with a message:

I place (number) points on (name)

And a pot of points will be formed. If you win, points in the pot are allocated depending on the ratio sizes of your bets. eg, if there are 100 points total in the pot, and 2 people have made correct bets one betting 20 points and another 10, then the points will be split up as 66 and 33 respectively with the remaing point going into the pot for the next round. Only contestants who have been eliminated can gamble, contestants who have been eliminated cant write up contracts (not for this game anyway, the rules may change next time).

EDIT: Actually those who were disqualified (didnt vote) dont get to gamble. This is to limit those who might not vote to lose on purpose!

With that settled it is time for the next round to commence.

The question for round 2 is:

Are you going to win the first game of Minority Rule?

You have 48 hours from this post!

Game 2 Round 2 Start!

[Timekeeper]

:holmes:

[Laddy]

Haha! It worked!

[demondude]

I didn't fall for your tricks, Laddy. =p

[Laddy]

But you also enabled yourself in such a position that would make it extremely hard to turn out a winner, so =p.

[Crimson]

I already voted Yes before you PMed me Laddy. :P

[Laddy]

Then you involuntarily became fated to become a pawn in my evil plan ! >=D

[Darkswordofchaos]

My ninja sense of perception told me not to listen to you laddy
Cause I KNEW .

Sense there is only a few people to vote this round do we have to wait two days if every one votes before that

[Shattered Dreamer]

I'm still confused as hell:tongue:

[blackmage_nuke]

And all the votes are in!

Are you going to win the first game of Minority Rule?

Demon Dude-Yes
Darkswordofchaos-Yes
Laddy-NO

Thats right It seems that Laddy has won the first game of Minority Rule, despite the fact that he claims not to be a member of Eoff and claims not to have won!

Now for the point Transfers -
Laddy +20
Crimson -30
DarkBahamaut +30

The scoreboard will be updated shortly

Well it seems my game calculations were abit off... so Gambling is Now alowed for all contestants (except those who are disqualified for not voting)
And Im sure you would have noticed but I have a handy hint
This game isnt about winning, it is about getting the most points, and there is more than one way to get points! Also there is a reason beyond time difference that I have allowed you have 48 hours, use the time wisely and effectively, randomisation only gets you so far.

Now we start Game 2
All contestants are automatically reincluded!
I remind you that contestants can join at any time and will be included in the next game!

And the question for this round is...

Did Laddy win the previous game of Minority Rule?

You have 48 hours from this post!

Game 2 Round 1 START!

[Laddy]

Hell Yeah!!!!!! A game I'm good at!

[Darkswordofchaos]

DAMN YOU LADDYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crimson]

Goddamnit Laddy.

[Crimson]

So wait, I think I got this gambling thing, if you place point bets on someone and your correct, then you get the points you placed?


And what do these points do?


EDIT: nevermind I think get it now, most points at the end of the game is the winner right?

[blackmage_nuke]

Yes when the overall game is finished (ie 3 first rounds without anyone voting) then whoever has the most points wins! I guess I really should have explained that at the begining!

[Rodarian]

I want to place a bet on someone ..Hmmmm

[blackmage_nuke]

Well It seems almost everyone didnt vote this round, I had delayed it to give people more time due to Server Updates but whatever

Laddy - No
Demon Dude - Yes

It seems this round is a tie
As it's impossible to get a minority between two people the points will be .

Laddy +10
Demon Dude +10

The scoreboards will be updated.

And now everyone is back in the competition again for game 3

And the question for this round is:

Are you going to vote in this round?

You have 48 hours!

Game 3 Round 1 START!

[Timekeeper]

Yes, I will vote this round.

[DarkBahamut]

IN YOUR FACE MOTHER SMURFERS! YEAH!

Laddy, you are EOFFin' AWESOME!

[Laddy]

Nobody trusts me anymore!!

[DarkBahamut]

Nobody trusts me anymore!!

I DO! I am the most trustful piece of :bou::bou::bou::bou: on these forums. You can always trust me.

[Timekeeper]

I never said I didn't trust you. You just guessed that by the way I glared at you.

[blackmage_nuke]

Time is up yet again and we have 2 votes yet again!

Demon Dude No
Timekeeper Yes

Rather irrelavent as there are only two remaining contestants yet again and the points will yet again be split between them...even though Demon Dude claims he didnt vote!

Demon Dude +10
Timekeeper +10

The scoreboard will be updated shortly

I would also like to point out that contracts and bets must fall within the timelimit. Contracts or bets made outside the time limit will not be counted!

Yet again everyone is automatically included. I think maybe I will extend the time for each round to 72 hours.

And the question for the next round is:

Will you make any points this Round?

You have 72 hours

GAME 4 ROUND 1 START!!

[Crimson]

I'll skip this one and observe till the next game. :P

[Timekeeper]

Oh cool, I got points!
I probably wont get any this round though...

[blackmage_nuke]

A wise hint to all contestants...to get points you actually have to play!

[Timekeeper]

Interesting concept there.

[blackmage_nuke]

AND THE VOTES ARE IN!!

Sorry I lie, THE VOTE is in.

Demon Dude - No

Well it seems DD doesnt want his points but im sure if hes in the mood he'll pass them along to someone else.

Points update:

Demon Dude +20

The scoreboards will be updated shortly

Now for the next question!

Did you vote in the last round?

You have 72 hours.

GAME 5 ROUND 1 START!

[Timekeeper]

Oh what?
Darn I meant to vote that round xDD

[scrumpleberry]

Can I jump in here? If so, no. If not, oh well :X

[blackmage_nuke]

Yes you can jump in but you have to wait for the next game, If it was anything like the last 3 games it'll only last one round! I'll send you a PM notifying you of when you can play!
