Voting Phase 6
A cuckoo clock on the far wall announces the time, and Alydar collects the ballot box, bringing it to the back room. After a few minutes, he returns with the results of the voting. "Ah, it seems like you've once again reached some sort of consensus for voting! Compared to last round's tie, 10k's 2 vote lead easily earns him the flipper position! Now, will he finally get lucky and match a set? Let's see!" He walks over to 10k and receives the two numbers which are to be flipped. "Hmm... Interesting! Well, 10k flips these cards, and... they match! Congratulations! 10k now has 2 cards remaining on the board! Oh, and a point... Ahahahahaha..." Alydar chuckles to himself as he flips a poker chip in his hands.
Votes 10k: 2 votes Iain7: 0 votes Kokuryu: 0 votes NastyMan: -1 votes ShadowFire: -1 votes
10k wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 2 and 3. They do indeed match, each with the name 10k, so 10k wins one point. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will remain flipped over for the rest of the game. We now have a tie at 1 point each! Congratulations! Also, there exists the first pair on the board which will gain the flipper a full 4 points, bringing them the lead and returning their signup fee. Who will take the lead next?
You have 24 hours to make a decision on who should be the next flipper. Remember to include which two cards you would like to flip over in the event that you win the flipper position. Also, 10k now has a two vote penalty, as he has gone for two turns.
The seventh voting phase ends at 2:02 am GMT on Thursday, April 26th. If you are missing either of your two pieces of information, you will be unable to win the vote, regardless of your vote score. Take care as you have only 24 hours of deliberation. If you would like to put a placeholder vote, so you don't get declared inactive, you may do so. Votes may continue to be changed until the end of the round, but make sure the votes you wish to have counted at the end of the round are the last votes you send in!

Voting Phase 7
The votes are read and counted, and the decisions are posted on the table. Iain7 is voted the winner with a 2 point lead. "It appears like you are once again unified in your voting! Well, Mr. Iain, please inform me of the cards you wish to flip." Iain7 tells him. "Ah, is that so? Well then, you have flipped cards 34 and 35, and they do indeed match! You have found the elusive last cards of 10k! Congratulations on being the first person to eliminate a player! It seems like the rehearsal round is repeating itself in multiple ways... There was talk about clairvoyance, no? Ahahahaha! At any rate, with a single flip, Iain7 has gained a great lead above the others and has broken even! And 10k has lost a total of 4 Poker Chips from this... But he's still better off than he was when he started, so no complaints there! Now, I'll need your voting ballots, please." 10k grudgingly hands over his remaining vote ballots. "You may no longer vote for 10k. But the good news is, there's now 4 more points left for you all to claim! Ahahahahahaha!" 10k takes a seat on a nearby chair and continues to watch the game, though he appears disappointed about his performance...
Votes Iain7: 2 votes
NastyMan: 0 votes Kokuryu: -1 votes ShadowFire: -1 votes 10k: -2 votes *NastyMan did not send in a vote*
Iain7 wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 34 and 35. They do indeed match, each with the name 10k, so Iain7 wins one point. As 10k now has no cards left on the board, he has been eliminated from the game. Players may no longer vote for him, and he may no longer vote. Additionally, Iain7 gets a bonus 3 points for eliminating 10k. Oh, and the two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will remain flipped over for the rest of the game.
You have 24 hours to make a decision on who should be the next flipper. You may no longer vote for 10k. Remember to include which two cards you would like to flip over in the event that you win the flipper position. Also, Iain7 now has a two vote penalty, as he has gone for two turns.
The eighth voting phase ends at 2:02 am GMT on Friday, April 27th. If you are missing either of your two pieces of information, you will be unable to win the vote, regardless of your vote score. Take care as you have only 24 hours of deliberation. If you would like to put a placeholder vote, so you don't get declared inactive, you may do so. Votes may continue to be changed until the end of the round, but make sure the votes you wish to have counted at the end of the round are the last votes you send in!

Voting Phase 8
With one less player, the game begins to speed up, and the votes quickly go into the ballot box. Alydar reads them and marks the totals on a sheet of paper, revealing it to the remaining players. And the one observer. "Well, we have a disparity of votes, but it has not resulted in a tie! Kokuryu wins the vote this round! As such, he has the privilege of choosing two cards to flip over! And they are...?" He is told them. "Ah, 9 and 28, hm? Those... do not match. Oh well, perhaps you'll get luckier next time? Or not... Ahahahahaha... As it stands, Iain7 has taken a large lead above the rest of you. Which of you can catch up and defeat him? Or will any of you? Only time will tell... Onward, to the next round!" The ballot box thumps on the table and echoes around the room...
Votes Kokuryu: 1 vote NastyMan: 0 votes Iain7: -1 votes ShadowFire: -1 votes
Kokuryu wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 9 and 28. They do not match, so Kokuryu receives no points. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will be flipped back over at the conclusion of the next voting phase.
You have 24 hours to make a decision on who should be the next flipper. Remember to include which two cards you would like to flip over in the event that you win the flipper position. Also, Kokuryu now has a two vote penalty, as he has gone for two turns.
The ninth voting phase ends at 2:02 am GMT on Saturday, April 28th. If you are missing either of your two pieces of information, you will be unable to win the vote, regardless of your vote score. Take care as you have only 24 hours of deliberation. If you would like to put a placeholder vote, so you don't get declared inactive, you may do so.

Voting Phase 9
Four players, four votes, one winner, two cards, no match. NastyMan wins the vote with a total of 1 vote! ...well, after the turn penalties take effect. So, Alydar approaches him for the numbers to flip, and is presented with them. As mentioned, they do not match, so NastyMan takes a turn penalty without gaining points in return... However, he does gain some interesting information from it! The placement of two cards, to be exact, as would be expected! ...oh wait, that's not quite true... NastyMan has flipped over a card that was revealed simply last turn, card number 28. So, with no further points, only one more card known, and yet another turn penalty, is NastyMan worse off? Only time will tell!
Votes NastyMan: 1 vote ShadowFire: 0 votes Iain7: -1 votes Kokuryu: -2 votes
NastyMan wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 8 and 28. They do not match, so NastyMan receives no points. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will be flipped back over at the conclusion of the next voting phase.

Voting Phase 10So once again, on fives by fives, a rhyme appears once more. And Alydar goes, with box in hand, behind the closed back door. Well, a tie again, of course, of course, that's what we have today. And that's not all, for even stranger, the tie goes all four ways! But once again, the tie's not true - not all are tied in turn. And so, this time, ShadowFire now, picks which names to learn. Two numbers told, the flip is made, and they correctly match. And so with two left unrevealed, Kokuryu could lose the match. Now once again, a 4-point pair, is hidden on the field. Who shall choose to choose said cards, when is it revealed? With two points now, at second place, will ShadowFire prevail? There's more to see, yes, much, much more, so who can truly tell? VotesIain7: -1 votes Kokuryu: -1 votes NastyMan: -1 votesShadowFire: -1 votes EDIT: NastyMan forgot to send in a vote. I forgot to note this earlier, due to rushing. Whoops! ShadowFire wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 14 and 23. They do indeed match, each with the name Kokuryu, so ShadowFire receives one point. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will be remain flipped over for the remainder of the game. Also, there now exists yet another 4-point pair on the board. You have 24 hours to make a decision on who should be the next flipper. Remember to include which two cards you would like to flip over in the event that you win the flipper position. Also, ShadowFire now has a two vote penalty, as he has gone for two turns. The eleventh voting phase ends at 2:02 am GMT on Monday, April 30th. If you are missing either of your two pieces of information, you will be unable to win the vote, regardless of your vote score. Take care as you have only 24 hours of deliberation. If you would like to put a placeholder vote, so you don't get declared inactive, you may do so. Votes may continue to be changed until the end of the round, but make sure the votes you wish to have counted at the end of the round are the last votes you send in! A note: I will be at a concert, most likely lasting past the deadline. Thus, the round ends when I get back, or at the deadline, whichever is later. You have until I post to send in your votes, but to play it safe, 2:02 am GMT on Monday would be a good deadline to keep to.

Voting Phase 11
"Ah, we have a tie... Again... Well, because of your indecision, it appears I'll have to make a decision for you." Alydar looks at the four remaining players and pauses. "Hmm... well, this only concerns the three tied with negative one votes... so ShadowFire, you don't count." He appraises them for a little while longer. "Oh, and it only counts if you've placed a vote, so... NastyMan, you can stay out of this. Just like your vote. Ahahaha... So, down to two, are we? Hmm... Well, let's see... Eenie, meenie, miney... Iain7. You, when I flip this coin," - Alydar flourishes one from seemingly nowhere - "say your choice of heads or tails out loud. If you're right, you win the vote. If not, Kokuryu does. But please, wait until the coin's in the air." He flips; it's called: heads. It falls: tails. "Ah, I see, you don't get ahead. Well, Kokuryu, as the winner for this round, which two cards would you like to flip?" He's told, and they're flipped. "Well, with no match, the point totals stay as they are. Let's carry on with the next round, shall we? Ahahaha!"
Votes Iain7: -1 votes Kokuryu: -1 votes
NastyMan: -1 votes ShadowFire: -2 votes *NastyMan did not send in a vote*
Kokuryu wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 11 and 29. They do not match, so Kokuryu receives no points. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will be flipped over at the conclusion of the next voting phase. Remember, there currently exists a 4-point pair on the board!

Voting Phase 12
Again, Alydar takes the voting box and brings it to the back room, counting the votes and bringing out the standings. This time, Iain7 is voted the flipper, with a total of zero votes! When asked for numbers, Iain7 readily gives 11 and 28, matching ShadowFire's second pair! "Congratulations! Iain7 gains an even greater lead! And we now have two different 4-point, eliminating, yet-to-be-revealed pairs on the field! If either Kokuryu or ShadowFire loses another pair, we're down to three! Good luck!"
Votes Iain7: 0 votes Kokuryu: -2 votes NastyMan: -2 votes

Voting Phase 13
"Once again, a tie! Congratulations, all! Everyone is tied at -2 votes! Let's see how these tiebreakers work out, now shall we?" Alydar looks around, expecting some answer which he does not receive. "Okay then! Well, Iain7 and Kokuryu have each gone 3 times, so... Either NastyMan or ShadowFire should win, correct? No! Of course not! Because... they both forgot to send in votes! ...or sent in invalid ones... But anyway! They both take a turn penalty, as if two more turns have passed than there have been! So... the next voting phase will be labeled... sixteen!" He applauds and presses a button on his remote, adjusting the display first to turn 14 with NastyMan at 3 turns and then to turn 15 with ShadowFire at 3 turns. "Now... who shall be the winner of this tiebreaker? Come over here 10k! As you're out of the game, let's have you pick! Take a die from this bin! Even is..." He's awaiting a response, which 10k eventually gives him: Kokuryu. "Okay then! Roll any die from here and roll it! If it lands on even, Kokuryu wins; if it lands on odd, Iain7 does! Go!" With little suspense, 10k rolls the die which falls to rest, surprisingly, on the number 1. "Congratulations! Iain7 wins the flipper position!"
Votes Iain7: -2 votes Kokuryu: -2 votes
NastyMan: -2 votes
ShadowFire: -2 votes *NastyMan sent in an invalid vote* *ShadowFire did not send in a vote*
Iain7 wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 12 and 26. They do not match, so Iain7 receives no points. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will be flipped over at the conclusion of the next (16th) voting phase. Remember, there are currently two 4-point pairs on the board!
You have 24 hours to make a decision on who should be the next flipper. Remember to include which two cards you would like to flip over in the event that you win the flipper position. Also, NastyMan and ShadowFire now each have a three vote penalty, and Iain7 has a four vote penalty.
