One mans trash...

Perhaps there was something interesting in one of the Missions long-winded posts I missed?

I don't know why I got the feeling that DJTB was somehow encouraged by Mike to mess with everyone.

BBB, are you implying that Nathan's decision is about to cost us $50.

There won't be any repercussions.

Would not cost us $50 would pull the full 50 into the big pool if she did. It would cost the game $50 but as a big pool leader with I believe all big pool team she would take the whole thing

Not sure what I can say in this thread since discussing PMs is against the rules. I will say though that Nathan doesn't understand how the game works. She told me at she is voting one way but told me that I could vote a different way if I would like. uggg, I think she thinks we all get a vote.

The highest ranking Member is here now! If you live in the East Coast(IE Florida)you only have roughly 35 minutes to submit the final votes! If this were a Football game this would be the final minutes of the Superbowl, a really big deal. Let's throw our PM votes at The Highest Ranking Member now! :D

You can paraphrase PM's that are about the game. You can also lie about them. I would prefer not to see exact quotes.

20 minutes to go before the results are announced. Still time to change those votes.

I feel badly a couple people have been captains only once. So, I'm thinking of a $20/$40 round 13 with the following captains:

gordonm888
troopscott
Ayecarumba
MaxPen
RS
onenickelmiracle
Keeneone

Does anyone have a problem with these names?

All share was never going to happen. Good on the big pool to again get the mass majority of the prize pool. CLEARLY our best EV play. Hands down.

No, DJT and I were both shares until you convinced us otherwise.

Better still, the Big Pool didn’t even meet your and TroopScott’s stipulations! The two sharers were both big poolers.

You really couldn’t have played this round worse. Big surprise.

I guess voting share was the right call since two members on my team weren't pooling?

I am sorry I thought you were following the game closer or I would have sent a PM Since UK mark voted share it was best for you as it eliminated 2 small poolers share of funds. However if you both would have voted steal it would have been an all steal round which would have put $60 into the big pool I believe

It would have put $80 because Romes had also pledged twenty...AND that was if all big poolers or only one shared.

You guys have time to bicker with me, but not to communicate with your own teammates?

We have Romes declaring you guys the winner by virtue of sheer numbers, despite the fact that you guys managed to yield close to the worst overall result.

“Look at us, we’ve got most of the money!”

Yeah, you have 23/33 players, too.

Also, with an All Share, the Big Pool still would have most of the money, except they would have the most of MORE money.

Or, with an all steal.

You all play this incompetently.

20 minutes to go before the results are announced. Still time to change those votes.

I feel badly a couple people have been captains only once. So, I'm thinking of a $20/$40 round 13 with the following captains:

gordonm888
troopscott
Ayecarumba
MaxPen
RS
onenickelmiracle
Keeneone

Does anyone have a problem with these names?



Thank you for this. My only question is about miplet, whether he should also be on this list? Has miplet already been a captain at least twice?

If LYING is allowed in this game, changing a Promise is allowed too, right? ;) :/

So, what did you promise? Does it involve a video of a young Walmart employee streaking round their carpark wearing nothing but a Walmart ID card. Or maybe you've said you'll chip in $3,200 to be divided among all players.

Lying is allowed in this forum thread, but a promise by PM IS A SACRED PROMISE.

I’ll tell you guys this: If I were in the big pool, I can’t say for sure I wouldn’t take my funds out at the end if I had more than the mean big pool average.

I wouldn’t want to, but at a certain point, Romes, OnceDear, TroopScott and SOOPOO, blame needs to be assigned for the woeful inadequacy that is your performance last round.

Yes, it is. Part of the game.

Correction Wizard, Remember we agreed that lying within the thread is ok, but if Nathan's promise is in a PM, then it can't be changed, can it?

Too late. The highest ranking Member already said that changing a Promise is allowed. :)

You are correct we messed this round up. We let the small pool have some money. I take the blame for one of the two because I should have sent jofo a message. At the end of the day this game has given a several weeks or so of fun at no cost to me. Allowed me to annoy and antagonize you as well the last couple weeks. Wizard increased his pageviews by about 100% probably with most of us retarded monkeys coming back like a crack whore to see the latest posts so big benefit to him by doing it. More impressions make for a higher ad rate.

You're lucky that Wiz is so kind.
Now, assuming your little broken promise is forgiven, why not share the secret with us, for the comedy value.You know I would tell, even if it was embarrassing.
I can't imagine what you could promise which could be affected by us having a round 13.

Go on. Enlighten us. Give us a chuckle.

Tell Romes that once he comes back to this side of the track, he’s halfway around on his victory lap!

The only way the big pool could have done worse is if three or four big pool captains had shared. So, I offer my congratulations, you guys played in only the third worst way possible.

Meantime, 3/4 Small poolers got paid. That’s 75%. I believe a lesser percentage of big poolers got paid than that, but you’ll have to check my math on that one.

Bah. Returning escrow to troopscott. Will check with him first.

From page 205
Quote: AxelWolf

I don't know why I got the feeling that DJTB was somehow encouraged by Mike to mess with everyone.

As much as I’m friends with Mike, and would have followed his instructions, that would have been a big violation of Mike’s own rules.



From page 208
Quote: Mission146

No, DJT and I were both shares until you convinced us otherwise.

I sent a Share PM immediately after reading Mike’s post stating that I was a team leader.

I’m not sure what prompted me to switch, but, the time stamp on my change vote PM was August 6, 2018 3:34 pm


I then tried to mess with peoples heads, trying to make people think I switched back and maybe others would also so I could scoop the steal. It was worth a shot.
