Felt bad for speisr...everyone kept going for him. I've enjoyed this little game, but it would be nice if you could think up perhaps a better way to decide the game when it gets to 2 people. Perhaps say the final two have to type out a sequence of plus and minus (of whatever number you determine)... " --+-+++-+" One person chooses 'odds', another chooses 'evens'...and the person who chose evens gets points for every time there is a double in the sequence, and the person who chose odd gets a point for every time it is different.

Example A.

<User 1=Evens> - - + - + - + + +
<User 2=Odds> - + - + + + - - +

So User 1 would get 3 points for the first position, fifth, and ninth.

User 2 would get 6 points for second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth.

Maybe it would make the end of the game go quicker, along with make it a little more fun to try to dupe your opponent. Perhaps have 3 or 5 or 7 rounds of that. Just an idea to make the end a little more exciting!

Well the way I originally played it, anyone could vote the entire game, even if your name wasn't on the list. So instead of being a real strategy game it was more of a "keep your favorites alive" game with a bit of strategy involved. I guess this ending kind of replicated that feel because I didn't know how else to end it with two players while sticking with the feel of the rest of the game.

I intend to create another some time though (hence the #1 in the title) so I'll make sure there is a different way to end it then.

[P Gizzle]

what if u asked for everyone who got out to vote on a winner (like survivor and big brother)

[sully800]

Yeah, good suggestion P, because I was basically thinking this seemed a lot like survivor (narrow it down to two people and then the tribe decides)

ANNOUNCEMENT

Alright, so forget about the points spiesr and I have. If you were one of the players eliminated in this game you will simply cast a single vote for the winner.

I also think we need a Jeff Probst (the host of survivor) to collect the ballots and determine the winner. Would anyone like to volunteer to collect the PM's? (I don't feel I should do it since I would just rig it )

[AK_iceman]

I set up my account to sing, "You've got mail!" whenever I get a pm.

I will do it.

[sully800]

Thanks AK!

I sent a message to each player asking them to PM you. There are 9 players, so once you get 9 responses we'll have our last man standing.

To quote MXC- "Don't! Get! ELIMINATED!"

[strike wolf]

I used to watch MXC all the time. Is it still on?

[AK_iceman]

Is there a list of the 9 members who will PM me? In case someone pm's me that isnt in the game.

[spiesr]

[Roger Dodger]

any news yet on who won??? being one of the voters i can not reveal who i voted for but, good luck to both of u

[sully800]

I checked earlier and dussle still hadn't opened the message. Now all have been opened so assuming everyone sent their message out after reading it, it won't be long until the final tribal ceremony

[AK_iceman]

Still need votes from edmundomcpot and terrafirma.

[happysadfun]

Still need votes from edmundomcpot and terrafirma.

[sully800]

Alright, let's give them through Monday night to respond since it is Thanksgiving weekend and all. If they don't reply by then we will just go with the current voters since that is still an odd number of votes.

Ok, since those 2 didnt vote I will just announce it now.

Speisr wins 4 votes to 3... let me check my inbox to see if i still have the pm's...

Edit: The only one that wasnt booted from my inbox was from Dussle...

I vote Spiesr.

Good game guys!

[P Gizzle]

gg speisr. i guess you taking me out of the game was pretty popular

[sully800]

Well done spiesr

At least its finally over! That took way too long to come to a close.

I'll start another game some time but not any time soon. It wouldn't be much fun to play that very often.

EDIT- And thanks AK for helping out!

[notyou2]

Is this over already?
