Haven't read my PM's yet, so I will call nhight either -

Sorry for the disjointed nature of this game, I am usually better

Feel free to import the rules post from your previous jeep if you need it.

Chapmionship points -

1st place - 4 points
2nd place - 3 points
3rd place - 2 points
4th place - 1 point

Changes from the last game appear in red.

I just got a nice safari jeep and I can take some hunters with me. We will be hunting big game, so this is not for the squeamish.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough supplies for everyone for the entire trip, so I will have to leave one person behind each day. Who stays will be based on a mixture of hunting success and group decision. I don't want to keep those who can't hunt, but I also don't want to keep people that the group doesn't like. So here is how it will work...


The Animals:

Cheetah - If only one person hunts the Cheetah, then they will be successful and get 16 points. If >1 person hunts the Cheetah, then the Cheetah will get scared and run away, leaving each hunter with 0 points.

Grufalo - Is worth 14 points. These points are divided between all players that hunt it, rounded down. It is impossible to unsuccesfully hunt the grufalo.

Lion - If 1-2 people hunt the Lion, they will be successful and get 13 points each. >2 people = 0 points each.

Hippo - This animal requires 6 people to bring down. So if 6+ people hunt the Hippo, they'll each earn 12 points. If <6 people hunt the Hippo, they get 0 points each.

Elephant - It takes 5 people to kill an Elephant, so if 5+ people hunt the Elephant, they'll each earn 10 points. If <5 people hunt the Elephant, they get 0 points each.

Rhino - It takes 4 people to kill a Rhino, so if 4+ people hunt the Rhino, they'll each get 8 points. If <4 people hunt this animal, then 0 points each.

Giraffe - It takes 3 people for the Giraffe, so if 3+ people do so, they'll get 6 points each, otherwise 0 points if 1-2 people do so.

Zebra - It takes 2 for Zebra, so 2+ people hunting Zebra means 4 points each. 1 person gets 0 points.

Warthog- Anyone who hunts a Warthog gets 2 points automatically and becomes a Pacifist for the subsequent elimination phase.


The Eliminations:

After 2 rounds of hunting, 1 person per round will be eliminated. There are 3 ways to determine the elimination, and I will rand() each time amongst those 3 options.

Method 1:
Democracy - Everyone except pacifists votes on who to eliminate. You get as many votes as you have points so far in the game. You can use all your votes on one player or spread them out amongst several players.

Method 2:
Dictatorship - The non-pacifists person with the most points will decide who is eliminated. If there is a tie, Democracy or Darwinism will be used instead.

Method 3:
Darwinism - The person with the least points is out.


Immunity:

Pacifists are immune to elimination by Democracy and Dictatorship. No one is immune to Darwinism.



Timeline:

We will run this Normal-Speed; in other words, 1 round per day + 1 round over the weekend, so this game can end by the end of next week.


Hunting:
until 8pm uk time, the hunt is on! So you have until 8pm uk time to pm me your hunting choice.
From 8pm-10.30pm uk time, elimination occurs, so pm me your votes by 10:30pm uk time (if applicable). As always, all actions are available to do in advance.

8pm uk time is at 3pm est. If this is a problem let me know. Please remember, all actions are sendable early.

To avoid sniping, I will call night/lock the thread 5 minutes before the hunt deadline.

Logistics:

In-Thread Discussion - You may discuss all you want in-thread with the players, including which to hunt and who to vote. You may not pm any players or talk in private in any way

PMs - All actual, binding actions take place in a pm to me. So you will pm me your actual hunting choice and your actual voting decisions. You may alter your pm's, but for my sake I would request that if you consider yourself likely to change your mind, that you refrain from sending until the last minute, or until you plan to be afk.[/QUOTE]


Day 1 all animals are available, on all subsequent days, one or more animal will be unavailable. You will be told which animal is unavailable for the following hunt itt the day before.

Yeah, I did it, so what?

The gruffalo is unavailable for today's hunt.

Who's up for Rhino hunting?

OK, all Pm's are discarded, new day imo.

Please re-submit if you allready have, please submit if you haven't. Hunt ends at usual time tomorrow.

No gruffalo today (that's right isn't it?)

No Cheetah/Elephant tomorrow

hey, I'm hunting cheetah

i am going for 4th (or whatever place gets 1 point), so keeping me around is +ev for u...i will help ur group get ahead but i am no threat for top places

i will go lion today for now, unless i need to go elsewhere to help out the group

lion, pm already sent

i went cheetah. i haven't lied about what i'm going yet this game

i need the points and most others dont so please to not be blocking me

ya, pretty sure i'm going to **** one of you up, either lion or cheetah, not sure which yet.

Zebra maybe? Anyone? Bueller?

we need to make sure they don't get points in order to secure our victory


myself and manupod will block because we have the most points on our team.


MANUPOD: Cheetah
LUCKAYLUCK: Lion


the other two of you can do whatever you want to maximize your pointage (while minimizing theirs - maximizing all of yours is fine too)

we're going to vote out the person with the most points from their team if possible - obviously, submit conditional orders to go down their list in order of preference

Nez > Dustin > Pocket > Nich
for democracy and dictatorship

i already submitted cheetah and im not changing

that's too bad dustin since you'll get 0 points

I'm going Zebra if anyone wants to join me

i will go zebra with you

Cool.

Also submitted zebra.

wanna go giraffe if there are 3 of us?

if 2 people commit here to go giraffe, then I will change to giraffe

Sure, I'll go giraffe if there's a third.

My only beef is that the giraffe would be my third PM to Hitch for this day's hunt; kinda feel bad about that.

jjp, u in for giraffe?

giraffe it is
