I just got a nice safari jeep and I can take 8 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 someone behind each day. Who stays will be based on hunting success

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.

Gruffalo - 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 - One or two people may hunt the lion, earning 12 points each. If more than 2 people attempt to hunt the lion, they will earn 0 points.

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


The Eliminations

After 2 rounds of hunting, 1 person per round will be eliminated. There are 2 ways to determine the elimination:

Democracy - Everyone votes on who to eliminate. Everyone gets a single vote for free, but you may also spend as many of your points as you wish on additional votes. Points spent on votes will be subtracted from your total for the next round.

Darwinism - The person with the least points is out.

The eliminations will proceed as follows:

Round 1: No elimination
Round 2: Darwinism
Round 3: Democracy
Round 4: Darwinism
Round 5: Democracy
Round 6+: Darwinism


Timeline

1 round per day + 1 round over the weekend.

Deadline for daily hunt submissions will be 6pm Server Time

After the hunt deadline, the results of the day's hunt will be posted. On Darwinism days, a player will be eliminated immediately. On Democracy days, you will have until 10pm to submit your votes

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 privately in any way

Submitting Actions - All actual actions take place in a pm to me. You may modify your submissions up to the deadline

Looks like submissions are binding. Regardless, will not be changing under any circumstances.

According to the finest online tests, I'm a St Bernard.

Seems like the obvious solution here is for us all to hunt the elephant and then vote off the greedy cheetah hunter at the first available opportunity.

Bloo, you want to maybe reconsider your interpretation of the meaning of "binding"?

Awesome. If I wasn't at work I'd find a gif of two St Bernard's high-fiving. It must exist.

If everyone goes elephant this round then I may be willing to reconsider my strategy in future rounds.

But for round one, no, I want them points on the board. I'm locked in on cheetah.

Would probably be good to get mod confirmation on that interpretation if it's up for debate. I thought it was pretty unambiguous though.

Mod Ruling: the binding bit was mostly a transcription error. It's from previous game rules and then I deleted the following sentence about changing your submission. I'm inclined to allow you to change up to the deadline, although I'd really appreciate it if you didn't change 87 or more times.

I'll fix the OP

If everyone else is willing to go elephant except you in this round, frankly I'm not too concerned about your strategy for future rounds.

I can wait.

This round is about establishing who's willing to be remotely cooperative and trustworthy (me) and who needs to be shat in the face at the first opportunity (apparently, you).

What we will establish over three rounds is that I will always be 100% honest about my plans.

So far no-one else is committing to anything, I'm just putting my cards on the table for this round.
