Murder in the Conquer Club [WINNER: Evil Semp]

Postby LittleMao on Tue Jan 28, 2014 6:25 pm

Dame Agatha Christieā€™s bestselling books have been adapted for many media - TV, film, radio, theatre and opera - but until now, not as a CC tournament!! At long last, this omission is rectified, with a fitting tribute to the Queen of Crime.

Settings ā€“ all games are auto, sequential, escalating; mixture of standard/terminator/assassin game types.

Number of players: 30 (premium only)

List of Players
show


Round 1: Poirot Investigates (30 players) - Complete
show


Round 2 ā€“ The ABC Murders (20 players) - COMPLETE
show

Round 3 ā€“ And Then There Were None (10 players)
Dame Christieā€™s most-loved and often-imitated book sees 10 strangers stranded on an island, killed off one by oneā€¦ and so the remaining 10 players are transported to Island of Doom where they will play a foggy assassin game.

The victim is eliminated, and the remaining 9 players play another foggy assassin gameā€¦ the remaining 8 players play another foggy assassin gameā€¦ and so on until 2 players remain for a standard game.

The winner of the round and therefore the tournament is the most successful assassin ā€“ the player with the most kills on the island over the 9 games. In the event of a tie, the winner is whoever lasted the longest (e.g. 2 players both made 3 kills ā€“ but player 1 survived until the end so wins).

Risk_Averse..........DEAD (2 murders)

As an Agatha Christie fan, I have to say this may be the coolest tournament idea I've seen. In please.

I love the concept but i don't love that the t.o. is just along for the ride. One player in some of our games will have a completely different agenda than the rest of us. I think it's classy of you as a t.o. to provide this unique opportunity at the expense of accepting a disadvantage that virtually eliminates you, but i'd much rather see a neutral person not in the tourney receive the pm's and when you are finished your round, you can then have them forwarded to you so you can still manage the tourney. That way you are an equal participant.

Having said all of that, my concern wasn't a selfish one so i'm in unconditionally with much appreciation for your efforts.

I love tournaments with creative themes!

However, I do think that in tournaments with secret PMs and stuff, the organiser should not play. Even though you're disqualifying yourself from Poirot Points, there's still a conflict of interest there. You could effectively control who gets in the final by carefully manipulating who gets what target in their letter during the first round.

I think I would love to play in this, but I hope you decide to recuse yourself.

Fair points stealth/Dukasaur - I honestly wouldn't be petty enough to try and manipulate the "murders" or let my knowledge affect my own turns, but I can see it adds an unnecessary concern for other players. I'll drop out, will be enough fun to organise...
