Perhaps, for favours in the liar's memory game...

I'd just like to make a point here: I will be voting up this round. it offers less rewards than going down (if 2 people choose up, I get one coin if the rest choose down, whereas the other way round would net me an extra coin). If more than one other person chooses up, the chances are that everyone on the board will lose TWO COINS. However if you all choose down and one of you chooses up, then you will lose two or one coins, but the bumpy rule will be reset. Thus it is most beneficial for you all to vote down

...why are you focusing on up and down? The way I see it, if we want minimal coin loss (e.g. one coin), we have up and down cancel out, or at least make it so they don't bump. Then, one player goes left, and no one goes right. One coin is lost. So, if we go 3 up, 3 down, 1 left, only the person who went left loses one, to end up tied in 6th with Iain7 (or, if it's Iain7, ends up in 7th...). If we focus on the up/down method, it just becomes more likely that everyone will lose. Two more people would need to vote up than down in order to bump, meaning that two people at least would lose at least one coin. Three more people would need to vote down than up in order to bump, meaning that three people at least would lose at least one coin. And five more people would need to vote right than left in order to bump, so... I doubt that's happening, and even so, that would be five people losing coins there... But hey, do as you like, but I wanted to publicly offer an alternative! Though, everyone's free to make their own decisions and get the consequences of said decisions...

You know, there was an extremely easy strategy to win in this game. I'm kind of surprised nobody did it up to this point. I haven't done it because I'm not going all-out for a 5-chip prize, or maybe neither is anyone else.

The problem is with left/ right is that it's easily exploitable as it's more sensitive. Only someone with no fear would go kb that direction

Apologies for the delay, real life and whatnot. Yes it does. The votes are as follows: LEFT : Komatsu Tatsuya (1) RIGHT : 10K (1) UP : Alydar; Kokuryu; Perlamonta (1) DOWN : Iain7; ShadowFire (2) Inactivity : n/a O | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
End of Round 310k : 6 coins Alydar : 6 coins Iain7 : 5 coins Kokuryu : 6 coins Komatsu Tatsuya : 6 coins Perlamonta : 6 coins ShadowFire : 6 coins No bumps. This dilly-dallying will not do. This time, if TWO rounds go without a bump, you'll each lose two coins. The rightmost column is now removed from the game!

Wow, so there's a lot of untruths going around, I see... Anyway, we're at a corner now, so I wonder what will happen! Also, dilly-dally shilly-shally! It's what we're best at, so say I. It is 3:34pm GMT at the time of this post (did I get it right yet?). Almost... 3:3 5 pm GMT!

I have my doubts about this game XD the number of people needing to go an opposite direction in order for it to bump is pretty high so even if everyone's moves were random it would be difficult... Oh well, I'll be going down this round.

I'm finally switching what direction I'm going! ...I don't know if you noticed, but that "right" meant "okay..." Though if we're going for plays-on-words, then maybe Iain7 is "going down" as in losing!
