From page 208I sent a Share PM immediately after reading Mike’s post stating that I was a team leader.

Wizard did say that if EVERYONE shares, he'll double the pot to $100 last Round. It seemed the right way to go until people began stealing anyways and then there was no real reason to still stick with Share so Steal became the better ideal.

I don’t have any power this round, but here’s my suggestion: Let’s not play games.

AyeCarumba-Independent-Steal
DJATC-Independent-Steal
MaxPen-Small Pool-Steal
OneNickelMiracle-Independent-Steal

Let one of the other four captains share or everyone gets nothing, screw it. Given the average competency of the big pool at this game, chances are at least three of them will share.

From page 205As 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.

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.

Had you let me know you were committed to sharing I think we could have had an all share round. I would have at least tried my best to get others to all share.

Mike said he COULD encourage people to steal and mess with people. He just could not bribe them.

Anyways, I really think there's a good possibility with the team captains(i didn't really look at the composition of the teams yet) we have in this final round to get an all share vote.

Your other teammates were dead set against offering any value to MidwestAP to share. All they had to do in the beginning was offer those two value or let them in the big pool, and I’d have been perfectly happy to share.

I had my share vote in immediately.

I refuse. If this round is an all share, I block everybody in this game for two years.

Yeah, I tried to be chill about it, but it’s not happening.

No reason an All Share couldn’t get done last round aside from vindictiveness. Do you guys think losing is funny? I can promise you all that Wizard enjoyed last round’s result.

If we weren’t good enough to work with then we aren’t now.

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.

Okay, I nominate the blame to Mission, for not even being in our pool and doing nothing but demeaning us and our decisions despite the fact that the large pool, with no central leadership, has managed to capture the VAST majority of the wizards money for our pool.

Thanks for continuing to try to stir our pot, that you're not in.

Quote: Mission146

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.

Okay, this has been all in good fun (at least from my end) but I'm pretty much done with the personality you've brought to this thread. The ONLY WAY we could have made last round better was to have 1 more captain steal. So yeah, I'll take the 2nd best way possible given all sharing was NEVER going to be an option. If you feel differently, then go write it in your diary. Your OPINIONS don't matter to us, and you're not even in the big pool so why do you care? Why do you consistently try to degrade and berate us when you're not even in the big pool?

Ayeeeee you made it to where I've been feeling, but a little late. Should I now make at least a dozen posts berating you and how INCOMPETENT your play is, like you have???

Round 13 - don't care, do what you all wish.. I'll be waiting to actually have fun with the pooled money in either an AP play or whatever the masses vote.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

I really think the problem was the fact that DJTB was f*****g around. Even if he was always committed to sharing from the start, it doesn't matter one bit unless others believe it to be true. Had that not been the case(him f*****g around), I do think with the right approach and some behind the scenes PM's it wouldn't have been that hard to get a full share round.

I think this round would be moderately easy unless we have someone like you who is committed to stealing. Personally, I understand your scorched earth tactic and need for vengeance. I won't stand in your way or try to convince you to change your mind(you go girl *Z-snap). However, if you do calm down and change your mind, I might be up for leading an all share campaign.

It's just not worth the time and effort if there's even just one unreasonable person or someone dead set on playing little side games.

1.) The Big Pool questioned us first and had players dead set against working with us from the beginning.

2.) You have the VAST majority of players. You’ve also managed to capture vastly less of Wizard’s money than optimal.

There comes a time that somebody sucks so badly at something that he should be told about it.

DJ and I HAD ALREADY SHARED, all you really had to do was get Midwest on board.

Keep writing your delusional narrative of what took place last round, if it makes you feel better.

I’m berating you because Axelwolf and BBB are too polite to do so.

Feel free. Here’s what I did prior to last round:

1. Announced I would do nothing but share.
2. Did nothing but sharing and encouraging sharing.

I couldn’t join the big pool if I had wanted to, or Wizard would have no incentive to make me a leader. Do you think Wizard would do seven leaders who are all in the big pool?

So, I did everything I could to make it clear I could be trusted, other than joining the small pool.

I even sent PM’s to people I was bickering with in this thread to the effect that I’d always share. Gordonm888 and OnceDear were going at it with me for show, though I don’t know what TroopScott was thinking, he never opened the PM.

Read my post above. It's meaningless what he did if you can convince others what your intentions really are. This game is about convincing other people you are telling the truth and will stick to your commitments. If everyone trusts that everyone else is going to share they are more likely to share themselves. Ya, there's not much you can do about a few members when they are captains who are selfish and love to steal.

When you have people in your own big pool literally paying if enough people steal, it becomes difficult. You also have SOOPOO who absolutely refused to give independents any value.

Somehow people seem to think that as much money would be put into the game if 33/33 players were big poolers. That notion makes absolutely no sense at all. This is a game of trust, so you have to have people who at least LOOK like they might not cooperate, or there’s nothing interesting about the game for Wizard.

Not acceptable. If getting as much money from Mike as possible wasn’t the right way to play last round, then it must not be the right way to play this round. I hope everybody steals and nobody gets anything, that’s what all of us deserve for how badly we screwed this game up.

This is why the Final Round should have been a Rogue Round where everyone chooses either Share or Steal by themselves, for themselves. Look at what a Mess this game is turning out to be at this very moment.
It started off as s much fun. Would have been so much better as a Rogue Round.

It doesn’t work if nobody is going to give Midwest a proper incentive to share, anyway. They didn’t even try to let him in the big pool. They refused to allow anyone in the big pool.

You had people in the big pool refusing to do business with anyone.

They also called me out because RS was on my team. Why the hell wouldn’t I share?

We can paraphrase PM’s in this game. Just ask AyeCarumba, he opened last round practically begging me to steal and I gave him a flat, “No.” I told him no vote would matter, and even if there was a vote, our team was him, RS, two big poolers and myself, so the vote would be share anyway.

Wrong-way value wise, yes, perhaps. It seems as if DJTB got some value entertainment wise.

I think you are missing the point I'm trying to make. It all comes down to who the captains are and who's leading the campaign. What would have happened if you didn't go all batshit crazy and just chilled last round? It may have been your long-winded technical posts that made people uneasy and confused.

Then share it is. Can all other captains confirm? Maybe we can get this done in less than 3 pages. 👀

It won't happen. I can almost guarantee one particular captain will absolutely steal unless Mission calms down and takes back his blocking everyone statement.

And then there's Nathan. (I don't think Mike picked her at random)

Nothing confused SOOPOO or TroopScott, they weren’t working with anyone anyway.

TroopScott tried to send me a PM to encourage an ALL STEAL the first round I was a captain to teach people who weren’t in the big pool a lesson. The funny thing about that was he somehow thought I was in the big pool. What was that, Round 6?

That’s how well he plays this game. He sends PM’s to non big poolers to get them to collude against non big poolers.

It can happen easily. Not a single one of us is an agent of chaos. I see 5 dudes I wouldn't think twice about, 1 i don't know too well but am totally confident in, and one that's about as good natured as they come. Those who would like to jerk around for kicks will easily sacrifice that pleasure for the obvious opiate of finishing properly.

Feel free to play your games, though. Just do so quietly; the adults are speaking.

I was done with this "game" several rounds ago. Didn't need a bonus round for people to keep carping at each other, especially people who are supposedly friends.

So, Face, do as you like.

I would greatly prefer this bickering would stop.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Here is the truly final round 13. The leaders are the two people who have lead once only and the six people who have lead twice, but never since and including round 8. So, there will be eight teams this round. Prize pool is $20 for a mixture of shares and steals and $40 for all shares.

Votes due 9 AM Vegas time on Friday.

1. My first preference would be an all-share.

2. If that's not happening I will work with other big pool captains.

3. I also welcome input from my team members.

4. Mission, I like you guy, but how about relaxing on this round?

I would be in favor of PG as leader of Team 6, but KeeneOne would need to stay on team 6 to maintain balance.

Sure thing. There’s nothing else for me to do anyway, but suffice it to say an All Share isn’t happening. It’s all taken care of.

I'm willing to make a side bet on the team captain I'm confident will steal.

I promise that I won't or haven't influenced them in any way shape or form whatsoever. I will not conspire with them in any way. You can try, however, no bribes. I have not heard from the person regarding this or anything as of late.

If you are in, just let me know the amount. And no, I won't accept an amount that will be significant enough to change the way someome might vote based on our side bet.

I will send my prediction to Mike and he can announce it at the end.

I have the right to change the bet if extra money is added to the pool or that person is offered money something or like that.

Doh, mission, you're too kind to point out that we keep winning and that we have the vast majority of the prize lot from the entire game. Thanks bud.


You also have a majority of the players. Grats. What's your guys average prize per person?

Quote: troopscott

I agree wholeheartedly.



Quote: Romes

Okay, I nominate the blame to Mission, for not even being in our pool and doing nothing but demeaning us and our decisions despite the fact that the large pool, with no central leadership, has managed to capture the VAST majority of the wizards money for our pool.

Thanks for continuing to try to stir our pot, that you're not in.

Okay, this has been all in good fun (at least from my end) but I'm pretty much done with the personality you've brought to this thread. The ONLY WAY we could have made last round better was to have 1 more captain steal. So yeah, I'll take the 2nd best way possible given all sharing was NEVER going to be an option. If you feel differently, then go write it in your diary. Your OPINIONS don't matter to us, and you're not even in the big pool so why do you care? Why do you consistently try to degrade and berate us when you're not even in the big pool?

Ayeeeee you made it to where I've been feeling, but a little late. Should I now make at least a dozen posts berating you and how INCOMPETENT your play is, like you have???

Round 13 - don't care, do what you all wish.. I'll be waiting to actually have fun with the pooled money in either an AP play or whatever the masses vote.


Bruh, you're the one that started it. There was no ill-will from #SmallPool towards #***Pool, then you came along trying to cut your face to spite your nose while catching bees with bear honey but ended up with vinegar. Darn rascals trying to ruin our fun! :(

All the riffraff on the sidelines that are going to attempt their influences. T'was a joke, or an attempt =p

Quote: AxelWolf

You can try,...



Seems pretty simple. Whatever alliances and/or petty beefs anyone has, or whatever AP aspirations one may hold, the object of the game is co-op. Doing so relieves Wiz of the most, and that is the point. Regardless of personal leanings, everyone here is a competitor. That means share.

Poking and jabbing is fun. It's nice when you feel someone steps over the line, to poke them right in the eye next chance you get. Feels good when that happens. And we did that. Now it's the final round. No one wants to be "that guy" who doesn't know when to quit, and ends up ruining the party. That means share.

AP is the point for some. To take what is given and create more from it is the be-all, end-all. But this isn't that. Taking money from a player-banker is fair play, the banker agrees to the risk. Here we have intentions to go against the dealer, and you're saying some folks here, after having a good idea of the outcome, would change at the last minute to attack the player for some personal reason? That's not AP. That's Sidney Crosby level douchebaggery. That means share.

See? Simple.

As in previous rounds, My team’s vote will reflect the input of all our members.

I’d like to share since I am on a four person team for the first time, but there are also 8 teams this round. I can’t win for losing.

I appreciate Mike kicking in for a bonus round. Thanks Wizard!

A Rogue Round would have cut out the posters who voted blindly voted Steal or Share based on what their Team at the time wanted them to vote. I'm not naming any names, but there is a certain Poster who did just that. ;)

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.



Mission, I'll say this bluntly.... I LOVE YOU in Blue! The amount of time you have spent discussing a few pennies is truly remarkable. I frankly can't wait for the game to be over, as I am not interested in whether we big poolers end up with $12.68 per person versus $12.87. I am interested in what Axel proposes for us to do with the money to try and multiply it.

This game has been like playing no limit hold em with fake money. Many decisions are made that would be different if real money was involved.
