Voting Phase 26
Quickly, Kokuryu walks up to Alydar and informs him of the numbers that he definitely wishes to flip over. "Oh, you seem very sure of yourself. Well, with the odds with you, why shouldn't you be? Or maybe they're against you? We'll have to check to see! What were those numbers again? 6 and 32? We know one of them, but is the other Iain7 as well?" With slight delay for slight suspense, he flips over the two cards. They match. "They match! Congratulations! Kokuryu pulls even farther ahead of Iain7! Will Iain7 be able to discover where Kokuryu's last card is, or will he fall to Kokuryu's sudden win? Only time (and the next few rounds) will tell! Ahahahahahahaha!"
Votes Iain7: -6 votes Kokuryu: -6 votes *Votes were automatic. This is just figurative*
Kokuryu wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 6 and 32. They do indeed match, each with the name Iain7, so Kokuryu receives one point. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will remain flipped over for the rest of the game. There is still one more 4-point pair on the board.
As we are now down to only two players, you don't have any choice of who to vote for - you vote for the other person. Currently Iain7 has a 7 vote turn penalty while Kokuryu has an 8 vote turn penalty. Per tiebreaker rules, Iain7 will go next. Then, it will be randomized again. I will be flipping a coin to decide for randomization: Heads = Iain7, Tails = Kokuryu. Iain7 has 24 hours to send in a decision on which cards to flip. If you know that you won't be changing it before the deadline, simply say something about finalizing it. If the vote is finalized, I'll end the phase when I get the vote and post the results. Of course, if you don't finalize the results, they will be posted at the end of the voting phase. Hopefully this will speed up the game!
The twenty-seventh voting phase ends at 12:02 pm GMT on Tuesday, May 15th. If Iain7 does not send in a vote, the vote will pass to the next player for the next Voting Phase. This would not go without penalty, however. For every two times that a player is inactive (only counting when there are 2 players left; in total, not just consecutive), the LGT will reveal two of his cards (randomly chosen), taking the points for themselves.

Voting Phase 27
Once again, the round ends quickly. Iain7, after a little pondering, approaches Alydar with his numbers. "Well, well, well! This could be the end of the game right here! Has Iain7 picked the correct cards to insure his win? Or will he fail yet again? The moment of truth!" The cards are flipped, and the match! Or not... "Hmm... it appears that Iain7 does not have luck on his side, but there's still the randomization! Who will go next? Will Kokuryu once again get a chance to live? Or will Iain7 get a chance to match the now-revealed Kokuryu cards? A coin..." He flips it, catches it, and slaps it on the back of his hand. The hand is raised, and it is... "Heads. Congratulations! Iain7 goes yet again! The game appears to be drawing to a close!"
Votes Iain7: -6 votes Kokuryu: -7 votes *Votes were automatic. This is just figurative*
Iain7 wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 20 and 25. They do not match, so Iain7 receives no points. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will remain flipped over for the rest of the game. There is still one more 4-point pair on the board.
As we are now down to only two players, you don't have any choice of who to vote for - you vote for the other person. Currently Iain7 and Kokuryu both have an 8 vote turn penalty. Per tiebreaker rules, the vote will be randomized. Then, the next player will go. I will be flipping a coin to decide for randomization: Heads = Iain7, Tails = Kokuryu. This (the third) randomization resulted in Heads, so Iain7 will go next. Iain7 has 24 hours to send in a decision on which cards to flip. If you know that you won't be changing it before the deadline, simply say something about finalizing it. If the vote is finalized, I'll end the phase when I get the vote and post the results. Of course, if you don't finalize the results, they will be posted at the end of the voting phase. Hopefully this will speed up the game!
The twenty-eighth voting phase ends at 12:39 am GMT on Wednesday, May 16th. If Iain7 does not send in a vote, the vote will pass to Kokuryu for the next Voting Phase. This would not go without penalty, however. For every two times that a player is inactive (only counting when there are 2 players left; in total, not just consecutive), the LGT will reveal two of his cards (randomly chosen), taking the points for themselves.

Voting Phase 28
A long time passes, with Iain7 showing no intent of giving numbers. After a while, Alydar grows impatient and claps his hands. "It appears that Mr. Iain7 here has no intention of winning at this point. As such, he will take the inactivity penalty, and Kokuryu will have another chance, followed by yet another randomization! Iain7 may have given up his last chance at winning! Well, that's his decision for this round, it seems. Ahahahahaha! Ahah..." He turns sharply to Kokuryu and asks, "So, do you have numbers to flip?"
Votes Iain7: -7 votes Kokuryu: -7 votes *Votes were automatic. This is just figurative*
Iain7 did not choose numbers to flip. As such, he takes a vote penalty for inactivity. In addition, if he is inactive one more time from this vote on, the LGT will reveal one of Iain7's pairs, taking the points for themselves.
As we are now down to only two players, you don't have any choice of who to vote for - you vote for the other person. Currently Kokuryu has an 8 vote turn penalty while Iain7 has a 9 vote turn penalty. Per tiebreaker rules, Kokuryu will go next. Then, the vote will be randomized. I will be flipping a coin to decide for randomization: Heads = Iain7, Tails = Kokuryu. Kokuryu has 24 hours to send in a decision on which cards to flip. If you know that you won't be changing it before the deadline, simply say something about finalizing it. If the vote is finalized, I'll end the phase when I get the vote and post the results. Of course, if you don't finalize the results, they will be posted at the end of the voting phase. Hopefully this will speed up the game!
The twenty-ninth voting phase ends at 12:40 am GMT on Thursday, May 17th. If Kokuryu does not send in a vote, the vote will pass to the next player for the next Voting Phase. This would not go without penalty, however. For every two times that a player is inactive (only counting when there are 2 players left; in total, not just consecutive), the LGT will reveal two of his cards (randomly chosen), taking the points for themselves.

Voting Phase 29
After a while, Kokuryu finally arrives at a decision. "I will flip cards 5 and 18." Alydar grins and replies, "As you wish! Those cards have been flipped. And they match! Who would have guessed? Iain7 takes another hit, bringing him down to even with Kokuryu. However, Kokuryu does have a 4 point lead right now... At any rate, with two players and two pairs, the end of the game is near! It all rests on the next match and the next randomization! Let's flip a coin!" He does, and it spins on its side for a while before landing on Tails. "Ah, it appears that Kokuryu will go yet again! Has this been a complete turnaround game? Or will Kokuryu make a crucial mistake, losing him the game? We'll find out in the next round, as the game draws to a close!"
Votes Kokuryu: -7 votes Iain7: -8 votes *Votes were automatic. This is just figurative*
Kokuryu wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 5 and 18. They do indeed match, each with the name Iain7, so Kokuryu receives one point. The two cards have been flipped over in the first post and will remain flipped over for the rest of the game. There are now two 4-point pairs on the board! The game concludes at the next match!
As we are now down to only two players, you don't have any choice of who to vote for - you vote for the other person. Currently Iain7 and Kokuryu both have a 9 vote turn penalty. Per tiebreaker rules, the vote will be randomized. Then, the next player will go. I will be flipping a coin to decide for randomization: Heads = Iain7, Tails = Kokuryu. This (the fourth) randomization resulted in Tails, so Kokuryu will go next, followed by Iain7. Kokuryu has 24 hours to send in a decision on which cards to flip. If you know that you won't be changing it before the deadline, simply say something about finalizing it. If the vote is finalized, I'll end the phase when I get the vote and post the results.

The thirtieth voting phase ends at 12:40 am GMT on Friday, May 18th. If Kokuryu does not send in a vote, the vote will pass to Iain7 for the next Voting Phase. This would not go without penalty, however. For every two times that a player is inactive (only counting when there are 2 players left; in total, not just consecutive), the LGT will reveal two of his cards (randomly chosen), taking the points for themselves.

Voting Phase 30With two pairs left, basically revealed, the end seems finally near. And someone will win, and soon, at that, but who? Now that's unclear. Will it be Kokuryu, whose turn is now, who wins this small game? Or maybe Iain7, now fallen behind, who soon reclaims his fame? The time ticks by, and Alydar waits, as Kokuryu continues to ponder. So long it's been, what will he do? Alydar begins to wonder. The deadline past, no decision made, inactive penalties fall. But now it comes to this last round, where Iain7 should determine all. For if he stays inactive, such a pain, it will be his loss. But if he chooses correctly, he'll win... like a boss. VotesIain7: -8 votes Kokuryu: -8 votes *Votes were automatic. This is just figurative* Kokuryu did not choose numbers to flip. As such, he takes a vote penalty for inactivity. In addition, if he is inactive one more time from this vote on, the LGT will reveal one of Kokuryu's pairs, taking the points for themselves. There are now two 4-point pairs on the board!

If Iain7 does not send in a vote, the vote will pass to the next player for the next Voting Phase. This would not go without penalty, however. The next inactive player will have their last pair flipped, resulting in his loss. The LGT will claim those lost points in that instance.

FINAL RESULTS The time ticks by as Iain7 stands there, considering his next move. After a while, he finally decides, thinking he has remembered the layout correctly. He tentatively walks to Alydar and informs him of his decision before backing away from the table and waiting nervously for the results. It seems his recent losses have weighed heavily on his mind... Alydar prepares to flip the cards: "We have our decision, one that could change the game right here! If Iain7 is correct, he wins the game, knocking out Kokuryu and regaining his lead, by a full 4 points! If not, he could potentially lose the game in the next round, or even here, to be overtaken by Kokuryu after gaining such a strong lead in the beginning! Ahahahahaha! This is what this game is about! Who will win? Let's find out... now!" He flips the cards with little hesitation (though a lot of buildup). With a loud bang, confetti rains down from the ceiling and pours down on Iain7. "They matched! With the name Kokuryu! Congratulations on your win! With that, you have eliminated the final player and gain points for all remaining pairs on the board. As such, you are the winner both in length and in points! A great win for you, and a not-too-shabby performance from Kokuryu either, our proud second place winner. Now, let's bring out the results and see how you all fared!" With that, the electronic scoreboard changes to display the winners and payouts... VotesIain7: -8 votes Kokuryu: -9 votes *Votes were automatic. This is just figurative* Iain7 wins the vote and decides to flip over cards 12 and 25. They do indeed match, each with the name Kokuryu, so Iain7 receives one point. As Kokuryu now has no cards left on the board, he has been eliminated from the game. Additionally, Iain7 gets a bonus 3 points for eliminating Kokuryu. With only one player left standing, Iain7 is our winner! As such, he removes the remaining pairs from the board, gaining himself another point with another 3 bonus points for eliminating himself! Congratulations! Our final standings are as follows: 1st place: - Iain7 with 16 points! He wins 16 poker chips, for a net gain of 11! 2nd place: - Kokuryu with 12 points! He wins 12 poker chips, for a net gain of 7! 3rd place: - NastyMan with 5 points! He wins 5 poker chips to break even! 4th place: - ShadowFire with a mere 2 points. He ends with a net loss of 3 poker chips. 5th place: - 10k with a mere 1 point. He ends with a net loss of 4 poker chips. 6th place: - Darconis with -3 points. Our inactive's net loss totals 8 poker chips... And with that, our game is finally completed, after a full 31 rounds. The full board has been revealed in the first post. Congratulations for all your hard work and for each currently having over 200 poker chips (barring the On A Roll signup fee and our inactive friend over there...)! Your bank accounts will be updated shortly. I hope you enjoyed this game and will further enjoy your experience in the Casino! Good luck!
