Quote: OnceDear
Here's the list of those who I believe are NOT in the big sharing pool.
Quote: Face
Nathan said pool. Nathan is captain. Face is in the pool.
Hi Face,Quote: Face
Sorry but I'd not seen your commitment to being in the 'big pool', nor interpreted any instruction from Nathan to have your winnings pooled. Unless I'm reading this wrong, that was an omission on my part and I'll now mark you down as being in the big pool in the table of results. That weakens my case for having Axel vote 1, but only a little bit. He'd still be effectively stopping 3 non-sharers from getting a chunk of this round's winnings.
[edit]
This is where Face committed to be in the big pool. I'd overlooked it. So, I'll amend the results table to reflect his commitment. Not bothering to edit every other derived post that carries that error.
It also looks like GWAE's commitment was also overlooked
[/edit]
Go team 5. go go go.
Quote: AyecarumbaQuote: OnceDearApart from jokingly saying I'd picked 3 a few posts back, I have not lied in any round. I'd lobbied and cajoled, but not lied. I'm absolutely sticking with #1 for this round. I invite Axel, or some other captain of 'non-big pool' team to also bid 1. I support the big pool. No inclination to give the small pool or the no pool anything.
A reminder that the big money finale is approaching soon, and I will remember who brought a gift to my daughter’s wedding, and who didn’t. There was some big money on the line in round 7, and I showed good faith by sacrificing for the big pool.
A small remembrance now will yield benefits in a few rounds.
HAHAHAhahahajaa...right.
That makes sense, thank you if you do decide to pick a number greater than four.
Which, again, is the only thing I really care about this round. Although, if I do sense any collusion to deliberately shut the small pool out of this round, I’ll remember it. If it happens organically, no big deal.
Quote: PokerGrinderI don’t get why anyone in the big pool would want to “shut out” the small pool people. It’s everyone against Mike, he wants us to fight lol. Now play nice children!
I just want to maximize what I get, and as a big pool member, that means maximizing what the big pool people get. Mike has made this round a winner take all round, so since ALL the money is going to one team, and there are differences in number of big pool people on each team. It just makes sense to attempt to have an all big pool team win the round. I understand the lone wolves and small pool people have a different goal. It is just that there are enough big poolers to guarantee a win, if they decide to follow my easily understandable and achievable plan.
All non big poolers had the option of being in the group most likely to use cooperation as there would be a single goal; it is not my fault they chose a different path.
Because there is no way in hell that we don't beat Mike on this round. We'd absolutely need to be braindead.Quote: PokerGrinderI don’t get why anyone in the big pool would want to “shut out” the small pool people. It’s everyone against Mike, he wants us to fight lol. Now play nice children!
And if it's to be any fun, there has to be an objective. that might be me sticking it to Foxy, Foxy sticking it to me, the majority (rabble) big pool sticking it to the (other rabble) small pool, or both pools sticking it to AyeCarumba, the only declared non-sharer.
Choose your objective and collude to achieve it. This game is nothing without rivalry and mischief.
Meanwhile, in big breaking news:-Oncedear has just been informed that GWAE is in the small pool. It was always a matter of uncertainty since this and this But I've now had clarification.
I wonder if other members of the small pool even knew!.
So, folks, please check your own status in the big table at the bottom of this post
Very well said!Quote: SOOPOOAll non big poolers had the option of being in the group most likely to use cooperation as there would be a single goal; it is not my fault they chose a different path.
Hi MidwestAP,Quote: MidwestAPI'll listen to what my team has to say, but I'm not in the big pool, small pool, or even a wading pool. To me, this isn't about extracting as much from Mike as possible, but trying to maximize my expectation. I'm inclined to go with 1 at this point in time, but that may change.
I thank you for making my accounting easier by confirming your allegiance, or lack thereof.
Remember... I HAVE ALREADY BID 1, irrevocably on behalf of team 6. If you do so also, neither your team nor mine will take the prize. That suits me down to the ground, because one of my objectives is to prevent non-members of the big pool from getting a share of the prize. So, I support your inclination to vote '1'
Team 5, Team 5, Ra-Ra-Ra.
Having everyone vote in the next round with this "lowest unique number" rule may not be a good idea. If there are, say 18 big poolers, they could all agree to pick numbers 1 to 18, assuring someone in the big pool will win.
We are where we are, we know what we know and we don't know what we don't know.Quote: gordonm888Not sure its wise to be get greedy and antagonize the small poolers.

DON'T expect the final round to be a big money round.
We need to get amusement from each round while maintaining amusement for Wizard. Animosity, suspicion, mind-freaking, are the lifeblood of the game and Adrenalin to Wizard.
I look forward to the new gameplay rules of the next round.

Quote: JohnnyQ"Maple Street, U.S.A., late summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, barbecues, the laughter of children, and the bell of an ice cream vendor. At the sound of the roar and the flash of light, it will be precisely 6:43 P.M. on Maple Street...This is Maple Street on a late Saturday afternoon. Maple Street in the last calm and reflective moment - before the monsters came".
That is my favourite episode of the Twilight Zone, and considering what a great show it was, that is saying a lot.
I'm fully expecting to pay this round. It would be very unlikely that I don't. The only question is who I pay. Carry on...
Thise four captains pock 1-2-3-4. That leaves 3 non pool captains. They can only block three of the numbers with the 4th being the winner correct?
Quote: troopscottIf i recall reading there are 4 team captains who are big poolers.

Correct. But Axel, for example, captains a team with only two big poolers. So if his team wins the big pool only gets 1/2 of the money, even though the big poolers are way more than half of the players. So that would be a failure for the big pool. But since this is only a $25 round, it is really small potatoes we are talking about.
Axel should vote 1, so as to ensure my team and his team get our reward in heaven.Quote: SOOPOOCorrect. But Axel, for example, captains a team with only two big poolers.

Nobody from our team has cared to PM me yet, I don’t think. Sounds like they’ve not contacted you, either. I’ve already given my opinion in the thread.

JQ PMed me with a few thoughts. I liked his ideas, but it didn't think it would be possible. We have a few rouge team captains. TBH, I want to do whatever will FK them up the most, even if that means we all get less. However, I won't make that decision on my own, I'm just totally down with it and I encourage it.Quote: Mission146Nobody from our team has cared to PM me yet, I don’t think.

I don't remember what your thoughts were/are. Just take the lead and PM the members and see what they have to say. Then PM me with the decision. If you don't want to take the lead please designate one of the others.

That we pick a number greater than four to insure the $25 goes out. I’ll PM everybody later on.
