You guys are generally good about deadlines and all, but with such long ones, I'm sure you've just forgotten... Anyway, there's about 5 hours left before polls close! And somehow it almost converges with the On A Roll deadline, for the many of you who've forgotten with that as well.

Bluffing Phase 2
"You've been talking long enough. It's time to come together and accuse everyone about their claims! Won't that be fun? Would Mr. ShadowFire come up here and restate your claim? The rest of you may then respond with your thoughts on its validity." ShadowFire returns to the podium: "My 9 of Spades is the 5th highest card in my hand."
Almost immediately, 10k and Iain7 speak up in accusation: "That's a blatant lie!" From the group, Kokuryu replies confidently, "Umm, sorry to rain on your parade, but I have it in good confidence that that's the truth." With Joshua echoing that "I- I think he's telling the truth as well!" the room appears to be divided. As the dealer turns to ShadowFire for the verdict, ShadowFire begins to laugh. "My, that claim was indeed false. Now, Kokuryu, Joshua, your cards please?"
Following this remarkable performance, 10k restates his claim: "My 3 of Clubs is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." There's an (almost) unanimous outcry of "He's a liar! That's clearly false! Anyone could see right through that!" Somehow though, Joshua finds the courage to speak in opposition, "Hey, can't we trust in each other? That's... that's the truth!" 10k shakes his head and replies, sadly, that he was indeed lying, and as such, Joshua must give him a card.
Confident that he can prove his worth in the game, Kokuryu steps up to the podium: "My 10 of Clubs is the 5th lowest card in my hand." While most players seem confident that, "He's telling the truth, like last time. He doesn't have the guts to lie when he knows we'll catch him." Iain7 speaks up, saying that "You know, I'm pretty sure this is a lie, you guys... Kokuryu, disappointed in being foiled admits that he truly was lying and takes his almost-perfect bluff in stride: he gains a card from ShadowFire, 10k, and Joshua.
The next person to go is Iain7, claiming that "My 9 of Hearts is the 5th highest card in my hand." Once again, the room is split, so Iain7 knows that he will be gaining two cards this round. The question is, whose? 10k and Joshua seem convinced that "Someone must be telling the truth this round!" but ShadowFire and Kokuryu believe that "He's a liar! Don't let him get away with it!" Iain7 smiles and glances toward 10k and Joshua, regrettably informing them that... oh wait, not regrettably, as they don't have to give cards! Iain7 was indeed telling the truth, and ShadowFire and Kokuryu must give away a card each to Iain7. Oh, and Joshua gets the privilege of choosing which card to exchange to Iain7!
Then, Joshua steps up again to state, kind of awkwardly, that "I have a Jack of Heats." Everyone glances at one another and replies: "Of course that's the truth. What do you think we are, stupid?" Joshua nods abashedly and returns from the podium.
The attendant takes the claims and puts them into a pile, face-down in front of him. "We seem to have much more discord in this round! And a player will be eliminated shortly, following those cards he owes everyone... How will the game go from here? The halfway point appears, just around the corner! Good luck, all!"
Card Exchanges ShadowFire must give one card each to Kokuryu and Iain7. 10k must give one card to Kokuryu. Kokuryu must give one card each to ShadowFire and Iain7. Iain7 gives no cards away. Joshua must choose one card to give to Iain7. Joshua will randomly give one card away to each ShadowFire, 10k, and Kokuryu. This will be done with the cards in his hand and will be done after he chooses the card to give to Iain7.
Standings 1. Iain7 - 9 cards 2. ShadowFire, Kokuryu - 7 cards 4. 10k - 6 cards 5. Joshua - 1 card - ELIMINATED
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 Iain7. The only person not receiving cards is Joshua(but you're eliminated now, so the point is moot). At the conclusion of those 24 hours, the Claim Finalization period will begin.
It is the beginning of the third Claim Phase. The Card Exchange period ends at 5:41 am GMT on Thursday, May 24th. Results will be out soon after that point (or not, depending on how late I dare stay awake). The Claim Finalization period will end 24 hours from whenever I post the Card Exchange results, not 48 hours from this post. Make good use of your time, and good luck!

For those of you who haven't decided which cards to exchange, you have less than 5 hours now. If you don't, they'll be randomized. Not the end of the world, but, hey, who knows what plans it could be ruining?

I'm up and getting everything ready for the card exchange period. Results should be up soon. In the meantime, your cards have been randomized if you didn't decide on them. Make sure, however, that you make a claim, as the penalty for missing that is a lot more severe...

Claim Phase 3 - 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 10:49 am GMT on Friday, May 25th. Please take note and make sure your claims are made by then. After claims are out, the Bluffing Phase will begin. Good luck!

Just a reminder to you all: 11 hours left to make claims! It would be in your best interest to make one, so you don't fall behind in this game!

Claim Phase 3 - Claim Finalization
With the conclusion of this third Claim Phase, the attendant calls each player up by number to state their claim.
ShadowFire, yet again, is first up: "My Ace of Spades is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." Second in order is 10k: "My 6 of Diamonds is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." Following him is Kokuryu: "My 2 of Spades is the lowest card in my hand." Next up is Iain7: "My 8 of Clubs is the 6th highest card in my hand." Finally, the attendant calls up Joshua and sends him away from the game, as he has now been eliminated.
The attendant speaks next, "With 4 players left, you only have 3 decisions to make! Make use of your time wisely, and discern who is lying and who is not! Oh, and, of course, see if you can convince as many people as you can to vote opposite your actual decision. How well can you bluff? Will we keep the same standings this round, or will another player rise up on top? Let's get to bluffing!"
Claims: Gambler #01: ShadowFire - "My Ace of Spades is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." Gambler #04: 10k - "My 6 of Diamonds is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." Gambler #12: Kokuryu - "My 2 of Spades is the lowest card in my hand." Gambler #13: Iain7 - "My 8 of Clubs is the 6th highest card 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 third Bluffing Phase will end at approximately 2:20 pm GMT on Monday, May 28th. 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 fourth Claim Phase's Card Exchange period. Good luck!
Also, a RULE AMENDMENT: If you, for whatever reason, make a claim about a card not in your hand, whether it be by typo, forgetfulness, or something else, and whether or not your intended decision can be deduced, the claim will be considered invalid, and you will be considered inactive. As such, watch for typos. And remember, don't fix them in an edit; do so in a separate post. This should have been obvious even before, but, as it hadn't been explicitly stated, I'm doing so now. So, from now on, pay attention to this rule.

You have about 43 hours left to make your decisions, so make them by then. I know you've got a lot of games going on to worry about right now, but hopefully you can get on enough to make your decisions.

Well, I forgot about the 24 hour reminder... and the 12 hour... sorry, but this is ending soon, and if you haven't made accusations, the polls close in 7 minutes.

Bluffing Phase 3
"The four of you have had enough time. Do you feel confident on your decisions? Let's see how well you know each other by now! Mr. ShadowFire, your turn, please?" ShadowFire nods and goes up to speak his claim, ShadowFire returns to the podium: "My Ace of Spades is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand."
After slight delay, 10k and Iain7 respond in unison: "He's telling the truth." They wait, and wait, and wait, but it appears that Kokuryu does not have a decision on ShadowFire's claim. Regrettably, ShadowFire agrees that he was telling the truth, but he does gain the consolation of receiving a card from Kokuryu!
Next up is 10k, claiming that "My 6 of Diamonds is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." ShadowFire and Iain7 appear quite confident that "That's no lie," and Kokuryu yet again gives no response, lost in his own world, still thinking about these claims. 10k agrees that he was telling the truth but receives a single card from Kokuryu.
"Kokuryu!" the attendant calls, and Kokuryu looks around. "Your turn! Up to the podium?" Kokuryu hastily makes his way up there and claims, "My- My 2 of Spades is... the lowest card in my hand." 10k and Iain7 nod and reply, "That must be the truth. 2 of Spades is pretty low, right?" However, ShadowFire seems convinced that "This is where they'll try to trick you! That's a lie!" Kokuryu informs them that he was indeed telling the truth and as such will receive a single card from ShadowFire, one that will hopefully help him out from his inactivity this round...
Finally, Iain7 steps up to restate his claim that "My 8 of Clubs is the 6th highest card in my hand." ShadowFire and 10k smile and say, "I'll give you that. Truth." Kokuryu, now noticing that he's missed much, is pretty flustered and stammers, "Uhh.... I- I- I don't... don't know..." Iain7 informs them that he was telling the truth and as such will receive a card from Kokuryu.
The attendant receives the claims and puts them in his little discard pile. "Well, standings have changed very little, it appears. Now past the halfway point, will the player in first be able to maintain his lead? Or will he lose in a sudden last minute turnabout? Good luck, as we enter the second-to-last round!"
Card Exchanges ShadowFire must give one card to Kokuryu. 10k gives no cards away. Kokuryu must give one card each to ShadowFire, 10k, and Iain7. Iain7 gives no cards away.
Standings 1. Iain7 - 9 cards 2. ShadowFire, 10k - 6 cards 4. Kokuryu - 4 cards 5. Joshua - ELIMINATED
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 people not exchanging cards are 10k and Iain7. Everyone receives at least one card. At the conclusion of those 24 hours, the Claim Finalization period will begin.
It is the beginning of the fourth Claim Phase. The Card Exchange period ends at 2:59 pm GMT on Tuesday, May 29th. However, I may be busy with graduation and as such will not be posting results for a long while. Since I'll be so late, I'll give you until I'm back to make your decisions for the Card Exchange period, but it will be best if you just do it by the 24 hour deadline. The Claim Finalization period will end 24 hours from whenever I post the Card Exchange results, not 48 hours from this post. Make good use of your time, and good luck!

Claim Phase 4 - Card ExchangeUnder 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 2:34 am GMT on Thursday, June 1st. Please take note and make sure your claims are made by then. After claims are out, the Bluffing Phase will begin. Good luck! EDIT: ...ah mistakes. Well, I have an excuse: it was the 29th in my time zone, and late at night after a long, long day. It felt like tomorrow should have been Wednesday, but no. I was off. But you are all smart boys and girls, so I'm sure you caught on.

Claim Phase 4 - Claim Finalization
With the conclusion of the fourth Claim Phase, the attendant calls each player up by number to state their claim.
ShadowFire, is first up: "My 2 of Clubs is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." 10k is second: "My 10 of Spades is the highest card in my hand." Kokuryu is third: "My 6 of Clubs is the lowest card in my hand." Iain7 is last: "My 4 of Diamonds is the 3rd lowest card in my hand."
The attendant speaks next, "Each of you must make your decisions on these claims within the time limit. Make use of your time wisely, and discern who is lying and who is not! Can you reach the top in this penultimate round? Or will you be eliminated, so close to completion? Let's get to bluffing!"
Claims: Gambler #01: ShadowFire - "My 2 of Clubs is the ONLY card of its suit in my hand." Gambler #04: 10k - "My 10 of Spades is the highest card in my hand." Gambler #12: Kokuryu - "My 6 of Clubs is the lowest card in my hand." Gambler #13: Iain7 - "My 4 of Diamonds is the 3rd lowest card in my hand."
