Some of you have given instructions for distribution a long time ago. However, Wizard asks that if you gave instructions before the end of round 13, to please do so again. To be specific, the only instructions Wizard has recorded in his spreadsheet are from beachbumbabs, Mission146, DJTeddyBear, and prozema. If you are not one of those people, Wizard would prefer you PM him with instructions.

To those not familiar with WizPay: It's not an actual payment platform. It's just Wizard's own recognition and accounting for his debts to us.
Wizard, Please clarify what payment methods you are ok with.
Till now, I'd assumed PayPal and maybe ChasePay for US based players and maybe PayPal for European players subject to fees being borne by recipient?
Or direct donation to charity?
Hopefully, collecting up 22 players worth of funds and diverting to Axel will save some effort.
Players, please get your instructions to OnceDear by PM. If you wish to extract your funds immediately, also send your PayPal address to Wizard. If you don't wish to involve OnceDear, that's fine but it may slow down resolving the payments.
Quote: OnceDearWizard, Please clarify what payment methods you are ok with.
I'm happy to do Paypal. As of a recent policy change, I think that recipients outside the US will have to pay a transaction fee. Checks from a US bank account are fine, but I prefer Paypal. DJTB asked to settle up when next we meet, which is fine, but I would prefer to just pay by Paypal and get it over with. Also, I'm happy to donate winnings to the Three Square food bank here in Las Vegas. If you have a Bitcoin wallet, I think that can be arranged too. I don't know much about the transaction fees, but I'm concerned they will eat into the small amounts we are talking about. Transferring to a pool is highly recommended because it makes things easy on me. Both pools I'm aware of will be run by people I see often here in Vegas. I can't think of any other convenient options.

Looking at both ways, I think the overall game winner is PlayYourCardsRight with ten wins and coming in second in money (first if not counting round 11). How about a speech from the winner?
First off, I'd like the thank the Academy ... oops, wrong speech. Seriously, thanks Mike for running this .... it was a lot of fun.
I think the key to the success truly was cooperation. There were several weeks in which people worked their tail off to orchestrate the best possible outcome. Other weeks, captains didn't seem to be on board. Each round, especially when i was a captain, I read the comments of others carefully, took into account what I thought was going to happen and voted (or recommended) accordingly.
I also made very few posts declaring my intentions, but did relay messages as needed. It wasn't about me, it was about the team and I'm glad it worked out.
Now, where's my trophy!

Your trophy is that you know you ran a very clean and honest game and truly helped other people out. :D

I will hate myself for saying this..... But I guess I'm "Trump" and you are "Clinton" in the last election! The idea was to win the most money, and only one of us did that! But you won the 'popular vote'!
I think it's now over to Axelwolf.

You're not going to see a dime of that money. Even if he wins, he'll say something happened and spend the money on hookers and blow.Quote: NathanAxel, please do not let us down. If you do I will be more upset than a guy who lost almost a million making high and stupid bets because he was beyond drunk. ;)
Quote: onenickelmiracleYou're not going to see a dime of that money. Even if he wins, he'll say something happened and spend the money on hookers and blow.
I sure hope that was meant as a bad joke. Axel has been generous and forthright in the past. The game is over, so I recommend you be very careful about throwing doubt on another member’s character without supporting evidence.
I'm quite convinced that ONM was joking, but for the sake of clarity, don't suggest or state that a member here would cheat fellow members out of money unless you have extremely strong evidence or apply a disclaimer that it is your idea of humour. To do so is an unacceptable personal insult.Quote: onenickelmiracleYou're not going to see a dime of that money. Even if he wins, he'll say something happened and spend the money on hookers and blow.
1 day suspension to OneNickelMiracle. Another moderator may over-rule me and apply a longer suspension or cancel this one.

I'm not going to overrule you, but I too think ONM was joking, and probably thought it was in the thread where lying within the game is allowed, so was done in fun. Certainly worse shade was thrown without repercussions. If you decide to retract the suspension based on what I'm saying, feel free, but I don't think you're wrong, either.
So for clarity. For everybody. THE GAME IS OVER. LYING OR INSULTING IN FUN ENDED WITH THE GAME. Regular rules are back in effect. Thank you.
Quote: NathanI never thought I'd see the day that Onenickelmiracle got suspended. I too thought what got him temporarily suspended was a light hearted joke.
I thought you didn't want to talk about banned members here? Or is that only if it's Kentry?

OK, I did think it was borderline and almost made it a stern warning, but to me, having your integrity questioned so strongly, is the worst personal insult, especially for a member who values his reputation so much. A smiley would have made all the difference.Quote: beachbumbabsI'm not going to overrule you, but I too think ONM was joking, and probably thought it was in the thread where lying within the game is allowed, so was done in fun.

ONM had just 1/3 day suspended. Seems a more appropriate sentence.

I presume that The Cooperation Game Thread will stay active for about 3 more days before falling by the wayside. ;)
Hey, as long as you are spending my money on something worthwhile, I'm good with it! ;)Quote: AxelWolfDID SOMEONE SAY HOOKERS AND BLOW!!!!????
I think I'm only working with around $300 I'm not sure how far that would get you. I have a feeling I would have to downgrade my expectations to crack and whores.Quote: JoemanHey, as long as you are spending my money on something worthwhile, I'm good with it! ;)
After the crack kicks in, they'll seem like high class hookers then...Quote: AxelWolfI think I'm only working with around $300 I'm not sure how far that would get you. I have a feeling I would have to downgrade my expectations to crack and whores.
No doubt that statement was based on a vast amount of first-hand experience.Quote: RomesAfter the crack kicks in, they'll seem like high class hookers then...
In your case, they are usually referred to as gigolos.
You should know... you were there. It was your idea to order the gigolos.Quote: AxelWolfNo doubt that statement was based on a vast amount of first-hand experience.

Are you talking about the time you and Axel double teamed that gigolo?

pretty sure everyone took that as a joke
Plus, I'm one of The Untouchables.Quote: troopscottpretty sure everyone took that as a joke
This is final I assume. Still leaves wiggle room, thinking senders won't even think to let people know the money is coming from them.Quote: WizardI have to wake up at 4 AM every day to be able to work out outdoors before it get brutally hot by 7 AM. At this point everyone has submitted a vote, but one person specifically reserved the right to change it at the last minute, as everyone may do.
In other news, I'm thinking of reversing myself on doing hidden transfers only. Instead, I'll indicate who a transfer is from to the recipient, if requested by the sender.
I've asked OD to send you my money, believe it is $12.72.Quote: AxelWolfDo we have a final tally? If so, assuming Keeneone is available Thursday or Friday Ill get started. It will take a little time for the final results.
Actually $12.27
onenickelmiracle
$10.84
$1.43
$12.27
$12.27
Again, It would be best just to let Mike hold onto the money untill I'm done. And then we can go from there. I just need to know the amount we are working with.Quote: onenickelmiracleI've asked OD to send you my money, believe it is $12.72.
Ok, sorry didn't know.Quote: AxelWolfAgain, It would be best just to let Mike hold onto the money untill I'm done. And then we can go from there. I just need to know the amount we are working with.
Ya, there's just no reason for me to meet up with Mike to get the money and then just have to return it. I think I can muster up enough money to front the play's and then figure out where we are at.Quote: onenickelmiracleOk, sorry didn't know.
