Game Setup

A high stakes poker game played for life and death stakes. 9 men enter with 2 cheaters are at the table.

Each player begins the game with five chips. Cheaters begin with 8.

Each night a player can spend one chip on either a kill, guard, heal. One chip can also be spent to protect yourself (this negates a day lynch by the dealer or blocks one single nk attempt).

Each day one player gets the dealer chip. that player can instantly try and lynch one other player at any time of the day without affecting the timer (though voting requirements will of course change). The only way to protect yourself is by spending a chip the night before.

Dealer selection is done by a game of 7 stud poker. If you wish to be in with chance you must pay a chip into the pot before night and send the mod your card selections (2 cards) the mod will deal you two cards. These will be replicated on the thread once day starts. I will then use random.org card generator to post the five dealer cards. the player with the best hand wins the pot and the dealer chip. If more than one player use the same cards the earliest entrant wins. You cant use same cards twice in the game.

Successfully killing a player gains you a share of their chips. In a lynch the chips are shared out equally between the train with at least one chip going to each player regardless of the pot size. In a successful nk the chips are shared between all attacking players.

Betting on successful lynches must be done on thread, bets cannot be retracted or changed once made. A successful bet will double your investment. betting should be done as follows on a seperate line and in bold.

I bet 2 chips that XXXXXXX will be lynched today

This would earn you four chips plus your two back.

Betting is based on lynch trains, not dealer based lynches.

There will be NO off thread communication. The cheaters will know the other cheater but are playing for themselves.

Your Goal in this game is to end the game with the most chips. The game will end when two players are left.

Player List

alt, hd , tapper, hmqb, silencer, grief, veng, shin, Bent.

Days will only end with a lynch or a vote to night. Night is 0 hours in length.

First?

This game looks complicated.

[Path-Shaper]

very simple really and possibly short given the number of players. basic things to look out for are that each day must end in a lynch, and everyone can perform the same set actions including killing and defending themselves.

as a slight change of procedure the cards for dealer chip are being randomly drawn off of random.org. The first dealer chip + pot will be awarded tomorrow. and the cards you choose are in first come first served basis.

I can haz PM? Or is no-PM just another way of saying Town? XD

It seems complex at first glance, but it's not too bad as far as I can see.

Also, I'm employing my visibility-doctrine, as this is altless so I can see all of you whether you're invisible or not.

[Path-Shaper]

ONLY THE CHEATERS WILL RECEIVE A PM

[Silencer]

Oh yeah, and are you accounting for the cards being drawing duplicating with the player's choices? I.e. where you'd normally have four 2's, for example, if a player selects a two, then you have to 'remove' one of the two's from the deck? Or is that not a concern?

This is the part I'm referring to specifically.

Also, with regards to the betting on lynches (I hate to be a pedantic bear, but...) you say it CAN be done on thread...MUST it be done on thread, with a bolded new line? Or is it optional to be done via PM?

[Path-Shaper]

betting MUST be done on thread. and yes i have played multiple deck poker before so duplicates are accepted against the dealer and count as pairs or part of a flush.

Just to clarify - in seven stud the player has 2 cards. so if you wish to enter the pot you send me two cards of you choosing.

[Silencer]

I think you have two cards in most variants of poker, I was just simplifying.

But that's fine, just wanted to know.

(Do you then plan to deal with five-of-a-kind? Or more? Just curious...)

Also, thank you for your large, bold response to my first question. XD

[Tapper]

I am here. And now, I'm out for lunch. And then, work continues
Mac, as our resident Online Poker God, should have been playing in this game. And request Jesters, to boot. Even though they're not allowed in 7 card stud.

[Path-Shaper]

Some players have put forward that the dealer cards be generated randomly by me instead of chosen by yourselfs. If people agree that can be done, as i suppose it is fairer. apologies to anyone who has put in theirs already.

[Silencer]

/agree. I don't mind though...works either way.

[Bent]

Hey guys. Doesnt matter really about the cards, I guess. Either way is fine.

[alt146]

I don't mind either. How late in the day are we allowed to make bets regarding lynches? If we are allowed to do it al L-1 then we should organise it that whoever hammers holds back long enough for everyone to place the obvious bet. We need to earn at least two chips a day to be able to put in a guard/heal and BP ourselves, I don't see that happening just from lynches. I understand this is a last man standing game, but I think it is in our best interests to work together, at least until the cheaters are discovered.

Popping in quickly and without re-reading the OP to find out if there's any clue there, but how do you intend to discover the cheaters? They will just keep their extra chips aside for night actions and instead keep a tally of 5 + their deducable gains/losses for the thread... I doubt any of them will bet 6 chips, for example.

Can the cheaters protect themselves from a lynch?

Did you mean to put this in a pm to PS?

Also, when will the cards be dealt?

no one can stop a straight up voting lynch. protecting yourself only blocks a dealer chip insta-lynch.

[Path-Shaper]

you get your cards when you put your chip in.
