Double Bluff
The gamblers, slightly bored while waiting for new games to appear, sign up for a small minigame. After some time, an attendant comes out in front of a card table and begins dealing out a deck of cards that he first shuffles many times. Each player receives 8 cards and arranges the hand in whatever order they please. The remaining deck is left in the same order and placed in front of the attendant. The attendant announces: "Let the game begin! Build up your hand as large as possible by deceiving your opponents and outwitting them. Once the allotted time for your claims has concluded, you will be called up by gambler number to reveal your claims. You will then each have to decide, conferring among yourselves as needed, to determine who claims truly and who falsely. Again, you will be judged by gambler order. Then, you shall transfer cards as needed, and the cycle will begin again. Any questions? Good. Let's begin!"
You each have 48 hours from this point to make your claims (in your confessionals). If you do not make a claim, you will be considered inactive, and you will have to give one card to each active player as compensation. You will also not receive any cards from other players. Also, take care not to make edits to your claim posts, as it will invalidate that claim. You may always change your claim with a new post.
EDIT: Oh yes, in case you wanted to know (or just hadn't realized), your cards have been updated in your inventories. Check them out before deciding on your claim!
The first Claim Phase will end at 10:56 pm GMT on Sunday, May 13th. The Bluffing Phase will begin shortly afterward and will last for 72 hours.
Players:
Gambler #01: ShadowFire - 3 cards
Gambler #04: 10k - 3 cards
Gambler #12: Kokuryu - 0 cards
Gambler #13: Iain7 - 11 cards
Gambler #18: Joshua Harnet - 0 cards

Claim Phase 1The attendant claps his hands and calls each player up by number to state their claim. ShadowFire is first, stepping up and announcing his claim that "My 5 of Hearts is the highest Heart in my hand." When he steps down, 10k steps up to announce that "My 3 of Diamonds is the 2nd lowest card in my hand." Next to the podium is Kokuryu with a claim that "My 9 of Clubs is the 5th 6th lowest card in my hand." Following him is Iain7 who claims that "My 8 of Hearts is the 2nd highest Heart in my hand." Last to state his claim is Joshua Harnet, who claims that "My 7 of Clubs is the highest Club in my hand." The attendant speaks next, "Please, hand me those cards, so I may verify that you truly have those cards in your hand. They will be laid out until the allotted time for your decisions is up." He collects the 5 of Hearts, 3 of Diamonds, 9 of Clubs, 8 of Hearts, and 7 of Clubs from the players and lays them out in front of stand-up electronic cards with the player's name on them. He then inputs something into a keypad, and the claims appear under each player's name. "It is now up to you to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying. Can you discern the lies of others? Can you trick others with your truths and lies? Only time will tell! You may begin placing your votes!" Claims:Gambler #01: ShadowFire - "My 5 of Hearts is the highest Heart in my hand." Gambler #04: 10k - "My 3 of Diamonds is the 2nd lowest card in my hand." Gambler #12: Kokuryu - "My 9 of Clubs is the 5th 6th lowest card in my hand." Gambler #13: Iain7 - "My 8 of Hearts is the 2nd highest Heart in my hand." Gambler #18: Joshua Harnet - "My 7 of Clubs is the highest Club in my hand." The polls have been placed in your confessionals, apart by no more than 3 minutes, for fairness. Your polls will automatically lock after 72 hours has passed. You have until then to make a decision as to whether each person has told the truth or lied. If you guess wrong, you must give the person a card from your hand. If you do not put in a decision for someone, you must give that person a card from your hand. You may retract your vote as many times as needed in order to revote, so long as you do so before the Bluffing Phase ends. The first Bluffing Phase will end at approximately 10:56 pm GMT on Wednesday, May 16th. The results of this Bluffing Phase will be out soon after that point, to be followed by the second Claim Phase and the first Card Exchange period. Good luck! EDIT: I miswrote this everywhere, but Kokuryu's claim was NOT that the 9 of Clubs was his 5th lowest, but that it was his 6th lowest. Take note of that, and apologies for the mistake. The claim is now TRUE, as it was meant to be, so there's no problems with the card exchanges/standings/etc. Sorry for the mistake!

Another reminder: you have about 13 hours left! Make sure your accusations are in, or you'll lose one card to every active player, randomized.

Bluffing Phase 1
The attendant claps his hands and brings everyone together once again. "It's time to decide on who told the truth and who lied. Would Mr. ShadowFire come up here and restate your claim? The rest of you may then respond with your thoughts on its validity." ShadowFire obliges: "My 5 of Hearts is the highest Heart in my hand."
His fellow gamblers look at one another and nod. At approximately the same time, they speak divided. 10k and Joshua exclaim, "That's a lie, and you know it!" while Kokuryu and Iain7 respond, "Sure, I'll accept that as truth." ShadowFire grins and replies that he was indeed telling the truth. For their false allegations, 10k and Joshua are both required to hand over one card to ShadowFire during the next Card Exchange period.
Next to the stand is 10k with his claim that "My 3 of Diamonds is the 2nd lowest card in my hand." The gamblers look at one another and reply, "Yes, that's true." ...except for one person. ShadowFire looks in amazement at the others and explains, "What, are you crazy? He's lying!" 10k shakes his head and regrettably informs ShadowFire that he was indeed telling the truth. As such, ShadowFire must give one of his cards to 10k during the next Card Exchange period.
The third person is Kokuryu with his claim that "My 9 of Clubs is the 5th 6th lowest card in my hand." This time, there truly is a unanimous decision. "He's trying to trick us. That's the truth." Dejected, Kokuryu does reveal that he was telling the truth. Kokuryu gains no cards this round.
Following him is Iain7 with his claim that "My 8 of Hearts is the 2nd highest Heart in my hand." All except one are confident that "He's telling the truth." Joshua, however, is fairly certain that "That must be a lie!" He is informed of his mistake by Iain7 and must give Iain7 one of his cards during the next Card Exchange period.
Last to go is Joshua with his claim that "My 7 of Clubs is the highest Club in my hand." Again, people are fairly certain that "Hmm, that must be true." However, Iain7 gets retribution by accusing Joshua of the same, that "Yours is a lie!" Joshua informs Iain7 of the lie in that statement, meaning Iain7 must give Joshua one of his cards during the next Card Exchange period.
The attendant takes the claims and puts them into a pile, face-down in front of him. "It appears that you all have been truthful! However, there are still many rounds to go. Will you all keep your honesty? Or will some of you turn to lies? Fufufufu..."
Card Exchanges
ShadowFire must give one card to 10k.
10k must give one card to ShadowFire.
Kokuryu gives no cards away.
Iain7 must give one card to Joshua.
Joshua must give one card each to ShadowFire and Iain7.
Standings
1. ShadowFire - 8 cards
2. 10k, Kokuryu, Iain7 - 7 cards
5. Joshua - 6 cards
You each have 24 hours to transfer cards as needed. If you wish to make your claim, you may. However, that claim could very well be changed to true or false, depending on what cards you receive. The only person not exchanging cards is Kokuryu. The only person not receiving cards is Kokuryu (so your claim would not be affected). At the conclusion of those 24 hours, the Claim Finalization period will begin.
It is the beginning of the second Claim Phase. The Card Exchange period ends at 10:59 pm GMT on Thursday, May 17th. However, as I've got something to do, I may be late in getting out results. In that case, the Exchange period will end as scheduled, but the Claim Finalization period will end 24 hours from when I post results.

Claim Phase 2 - Card Exchange
Under the attendant's supervision, players exchange the cards they are supposed to and begin deciding what claims to make this round. Other than that... not much has happened!
The Claim Finalization period will end at approximately 3:00 am GMT on Saturday, May 18th. I may yet again be late with results (somehow, I'm really busy), but the last time to post or change claims is then. Please take note and make sure your claims are made by then. After claims are out, the Bluffing Phase will begin. Good luck!

Umm... yes. So, the concert went later than I had thought (well, actually, that's not quite true, but it's still really late), and I don't have time to figure out and write up results. So, instead of just having you all wait around doing nothing, I'll allow you to change your claims (or make them if you haven't) up until I put up the polls and begin the Bluffing Phase. That will be some number of hours from now (I'm guessing 9? 10? earlier? later? some time from now...), but I don't know when. So, if you don't have a claim in by then, you'll have no excuse. Good luck y'all! Oh, and a shoutout: Styx is an awesome band! You should see them in concert!  |

And... once again, an edit. There was a mistake that I made that needs to be cleared up, and in order to do so, the player must be given ample time to respond. As such, despite Claims being finalized (so if you need to change/make one, too bad), the round will not end until either 24 hours has passed from this post or this incident has been cleared up. As such... apologies for the delay, and could players please check your confessionals? I've notified the player in question there, so if you don't have anything new in your confessionals, it's not you.  |

Claim Phase 2 - Claim Finalization
With the conclusion of this second Claim Phase, the attendant claps his hands and calls each player up by number to state their claim.
ShadowFire reveals his claim first, "My 9 of Spades is the 5th highest card in my hand."
The attendant calls up 10k, "My 3 of Clubs is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand."
Next to claim is Kokuryu, stating that "My 10 of Clubs is the 5th lowest card in my hand."
Following him, Iain7 walks up, "My 9 of Hearts is the 5th highest card in my hand."
Then, the attendant calls up Joshua. And again. And again. "Hmm? What? A card? Uhhh....." Joshua fumbles with his cards and chooses one. "I have a Jack of Hearts!"
The attendant speaks next, "With a player inactive, Joshua will be unable to receive any cards this turn, and you won't have to accuse him! Good results all around! Oh, except for Joshua, who must give one card to each player... Now, hand me your claim cards, so I may verify that you truly have those cards in your hand. They will be laid out until the allotted time for your decisions is up." He collects the 9 of Spades, 3 of Clubs, 10 of Clubs, 9 of Hearts, and Jack of Hearts from the players and lays them out in front of stand-up electronic cards with the player's name on them. He then inputs something into a keypad, and the claims appear under each player's name. "It is now up to you to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying. Can you discern the lies of others? Can you trick others with your truths and lies? Only time will tell! You may begin placing your votes!"
Claims:
Gambler #01: ShadowFire - "My 9 of Spades is the 5th highest card in my hand."
Gambler #04: 10k - "My 3 of Clubs is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand."
Gambler #12: Kokuryu - "My 10 of Clubs is the 5th lowest card in my hand."
Gambler #13: Iain7 - "My 9 of Hearts is the 5th highest card in my hand."
Gambler #18: Joshua Harnet - "I have a Jack of Hearts."
The polls have been placed in your confessionals, apart by no more than 3 minutes, for fairness. Your polls will automatically lock after 72 hours has passed. You have until then to make a decision as to whether each person has told the truth or lied. If you guess wrong, you must give the person a card from your hand. If you do not put in a decision for someone, you must give that person a card from your hand. You may retract your vote as many times as needed in order to revote, so long as you do so before the Bluffing Phase ends.
The second Bluffing Phase will end at approximately 5:22 am GMT on Wednesday, May 23rd. The results of this Bluffing Phase will be out soon after that point (e.g. when I wake up that morning, hopefully with little delay), to be followed by the third Claim Phase and its Card Exchange period. Good luck!

So, I had completely missed something else in the first Claim Phase, and I've made the edits now (see anywhere concerning the first round claims). It shouldn't affect the current standings, but you may want to check the edit at some point. Sorry for the mistake, and it shouldn't happen again!

A heads up: you have around 38 hours left in the 2nd Bluffing Phase. If you forget to put in your accusations, you'll have to give a card away (randomly) to each player you forgot to accuse.
