Sorry, but I'm still rereading the rules and everything... Somehow. I have a question that derives from a misread I had. When a player chooses to pass, the current chamber doesn't change, correct? So if it were chamber 1, and the player passed, it would stay at chamber 1 instead of moving to chamber 2? I just want to make sure that I'm not misreading anything further. (bleh, I'm really out of it somehow. 3 papers assigned the same time... and due the same time as well... Curse my luck! ...unless that makes it worse.)Just like the manga, a Pass only changes the chamber if it's the 5th consecutive Pass for that chamber (in that case, the LGT collects the pot and fires the gun in the air).

10k, where does the penalty money come from? Is it split from both games? Or is it simply deducted at the end of the game? Say for example (no particular reason, I swear) that both Freih and Reynard the Fox are facing a $100 penalty. How does that affect the totals of the three games?

Say for example (no particular reason, I swear) that both Freih and Reynard the Fox are facing a $100 penalty. How does that affect the totals of the three games? Well, the penalty would have to come from somewhere, so... from my understanding, it would be one of the two following situations: 1) Freih pays $100 from his vs. Alydar and vs. Reynard fund, respectively, to each Alydar and Reynard in their game. Reynard does the same to each Alydar and Freih in their game. ResultsFreih vs. Reynard: Freih = $900, Reynard = $900 Reynard vs. Alydar: Reynard = $1000, Alydar = $1100 Alydar vs. Freih: Freih = $1000, Alydar = $1100 2) Freih pays $100 to Alydar in his vs. Alydar game and $100 to Reynard in his vs. Reynard game. Reynard does the same to Alydar and Freih respectively. ResultsFreih vs. Reynard: Freih = $1000, Reynard = $1000 Reynard vs. Alydar: Reynard = $900, Alydar = $1100 Alydar vs. Freih: Freih = $900, Alydar = $1100 Either way, mine stay the same, but the difference is where the $900s are and how far ahead of the other two I am in our games.
Also, a suggestion for organization: you could do a separate thread for each bullet. Yes, there would be a lot of threads, and I suppose it might be a hassle, but it might look nice. Or you can just have one big thread throughout. It's your call. Oh, and I'm guessing the conflict of bullet placement could go on indefinitely, since there's no tiebreakers of any sort?

I considered doing a separate thread for each bullet, decided against it, but now it seems more and more appealing. Alright, I guess I'll do that. I don't think I can change the names of threads, so imagine that the "Russian Roulette" thread in each of your sub-forums is titled Round 1.
And yes, eventually you just have to get lucky or something. Two players colluding could stop themselves from playing forever. If it looks like that is the case, the big penalties come out.

Gameplay: pretty much like the manga. Please POST your move AND PM the Dealer; the Dealer will update ASAP. If you want to change your move, make a new post, but DO NOT EDIT. HOWEVER, you cannot change a move once the opponent makes a move or the Dealer makes an update. I don't imagine how multiple threads for each bullet would work. Well, they could.

I don't imagine how multiple threads for each bullet would work. Well, they could. It's not that difficult. It may be unnecessary, but since there can be anywhere between 1 and 5 shots per bullet, it helps keep track of how many chambers have been emptied, even if they're just shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, etc. Of course, it's a whole lot of threads, but they're in separate sub-boards for that reason. Also, I'll get to seeing if I can make Cyrus able to lock his threads. Or something.

Thank you, Alydar. I know that it's a rather trivial matter, but it seems far more proper, somehow.

Alright, looks like we need my rulings. A few things... 1. If one game has to reconsider bullets, that does not stop the other games. So yes, it's possible to prolong one game's set-up phase continues indefinitely until the other games finish. If the other games want that third game to play at the same time as they, the only thing that needs be done is delay carrying out decisions ALAP. Unlikely as it may be, I'll add this rule: If the last in-progress game finishes and another game has yet to leave the set-up phase, then the in-players of the game(s) still in set-up phase each pay their game's out-player $100 for every 24h that passes since the last in-progress game ended. Example: Game 1 ends but Games 2 and 3 are in set-up phase. In-players of Games 2 and 3 start paying their out-players $100 (or whatever they have left versus that other player, say $95 in a game with totals $95|$1905...see comment 2 below) for every 24h that passed since Game 1 ended. Example: Game 1 ends and soon after, Game 2 ends, but Game 3 is still in set-up phase. In-players of Game 3 pay its out-player $100 every 24h that passes since Game 2 ended. 2. If the out-player didn't select a starting shooter (and I explicitly specified that), transactions are carried out through his in-player games. So if Reynard forgot a starting shooter, his starting totals look like: vs. Alydar, $900|$1100; and vs. Freih, $900|$1100, and the starting shooter of Alydar vs. Freih is randomized...but if the game has to reset the set-up phase, the randomized player (and starting chamber) carries over (the out-player won't have multiple inactivity penalties) unannounced, but the out-player is now free to change who is the starting shooter (and starting chamber, if he wants). 10k, where does the penalty money come from? Is it split from both games? Or is it simply deducted at the end of the game? Say for example (no particular reason, I swear) that both Freih and Reynard the Fox are facing a $100 penalty. How does that affect the totals of the three games? Starting totals: Freih vs. Reyanrd: $1000|$1000 Freih vs. Alyar: $900|$1100 Reynard vs. Alydar: $900|$1100 3. Separate threads per chamber is a good idea. I mean, if Alydar went through the trouble to set up an entire subforum, there's no reason not to take advantage of that. And most of the other "main games" use separate threads per round. Also, nice mask, Cyrus.

REYNARD! I'd rather have you play the game than testing inactivity. These guys are just gonna eat you for lunch if you can't log in a lot. Inactivity kills souls. You guys mind if I sub in for this guy when he's absent? I won't join unless everyone consents to it. And if you all do, would you mind pausing the game while I catch up to speed? I know I said this game isn't my top priority, but watching inactivity is worse. Even if I'm starting behind, I'd still like to see this game go properly.

If inactivity persists I will simply withdraw anyway. I'm not interested in playing an inactive game. I don't mind you subbing in. I don't mind pausing the game.

I don't mind you subbing in. I don't mind pausing the game. I would agree with the above statements, across all three games. Dealer? May we have a ruling? Also, should I attempt to contact Reynard first (during the pause, of course) and get his thoughts (not right now, as I'm off for a little while, but when I get back)?

Actually, I would put that game on hold indefinitely, and start another game. If Rey becomes active (regualrly logging in twice a day) during the second game's consideration phase, we continue the first game; otherwise we continue the second game.

As the Dealer of this game, I am simply here to facilitate the game. If the Players decide to universally pause, I say go ahead. I'll leave this up to you guys.
