Do we really need to be sent a message when we get the 500 point bonus for a round?

Good job, Radiant...

30. Tammikuu 2005, 04:07:34

Otsikko: 1??? with 4 players left??!!!

that was really cunning grenv. You must try it again

30. Tammikuu 2005, 05:32:18

grenv

The 5th player had 0 points. It was my best play since I clearly couldn't get the bonus.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 06:52:14

i know, but it's just so funny to see a bid like that so late. However, I wouldn't know much about surviving into late rounds...:)

30. Tammikuu 2005, 07:05:02

grenv

I'm just surprised the other 2 players didn't bet 1 as well!

30. Tammikuu 2005, 07:25:46

it's initially such a counterintuitive bet that it probably was immediately discarded, but you've forced a paradigm shift already, i'll bet!

Otsikko: Re:

redsales: I dint realize that this was a game for the University Professors amongst us ROFL.....the counterintuitive isnt a problem I dont think LOLOL but PARADIGM?? *getting out the google*...can only find a company call that....
what is paradigm?

30. Tammikuu 2005, 07:41:42

Otsikko: Re: Re:

BerniceC: well, a paradigm is like a mode of thinking or a belief system, and when you are forced to re-examine them and conclude you need to adopt something new, that's a paradigm shift.

no, you're right, men tend to intentionally overcomplicate things. Oh, wait, or was it women? Hmmm...never mind

Otsikko: Bernice

are you really a member of the cave? LMAO

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:09:11

Otsikko: first run

Alesh should not have 500 points ,he should have 171 less than their last points only ..after bidding 671 and then 500 bonus added back on.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:09:33

I think he had 300+ left didnt he?

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:10:19

Muokannut Stevie (30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:10:37)

So for example 350-671+500=179 not 500

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:11:54

don't know but just noticed you're kicking ass! keep it up, Stevie!

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:19:38

Otsikko: Alesh

Stevie: I'd say, first are all given points substracted from the pool, i.e. he has 0 points remaining, and *then* he get the bonus of 500.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:21:07

Otsikko: Re: Alesh

Bad Bishop: That means from now on..he will always have 500 points then

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:22:24

I'm quite sure this is his last round, because it makes sense again to go for the bonus.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:24:08

But going by his last move..( he bid way more than points he had left) he will bid 671 again ( auto) his points will not go to -171 then add 500 bonus..It will actually go down to 0 but no further...then he will win 500 bonus ( unless another bids more) and he will once again be at 500

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:27:12

rabbitoid

until (probably soon) someone bets 501

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:28:10

Nope...because he is bidding 671, so they would have to bid more than 671

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:28:46

This is correct, but I bet there will be at least one player with a bid higher than 500 points.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:29:30

Muokannut Crook (30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:33:01)

Stevie: He is bidding 671, but he can actually bid only 500 points.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:29:47

aahhhh right...so because he only has 500 left, the auto bid will auto drop from 671 to 500 this time then?

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:31:08

Yep.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:31:59

I remembered wrong numbers didnt I.....he was auto bidding 1400+ before wasnt he LOL

wake up Steve LMAO

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:32:24

wheres your table again BB? LOL

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:35:06

My table is deleted. :-) I can't manage tables for all ponds (not even for the ponds, in which I'm participating), so I'm managing none. Why should I do Fencer's business? :-P

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:36:10

Its your fault I remembered wrong numbers then LOL

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:36:59

Sure. :-)

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:38:10

Hehe, what do you mean? There are five autobids of 8 points. Should we bid 9, is it safe? :-)

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:39:16

rabbitoid

maybe for 1 round, improbable that all the autobidders will wake up at once

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:39:49

Maxxina

Safe is 10 :]

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:40:15

They all logged in in the last three days, so maybe they will change their bids...

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:40:19

safe is 11

30. Tammikuu 2005, 12:40:42

Maxxina: I'd say 11 is 100% safe.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 13:34:34

Otsikko: weve been proved wrong

a pawn in this game http://brainking.com/game/Pond?p=0&g=10 changed their bid.....it was 16 last round, then 19 this time.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 16:50:48

Auto Bid - If a person does not put in a bid, it will use what was used last round. If they do not have the points to cover that amount, it will use as much as the user has left.

So if Alesh was bidding 671 points per round, but last round only had 350 points left - the auto bid would place the bid for only 350, not the 671 since they do not have those points to cover the bet.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 16:58:44

grenv

Then there is a bug, because Alesh got the bonus for betting 671. 350 would not have got the bonus.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 17:03:32

coan.net

Actually I don't remember how much Alesh had left last round (someone below said something around 350)

All I know is Alesh had less then 671 points. But if they had over 555, then they should have gotten the bonus.

If they had under 555 left, then Molly should have gotten the bonus.

Does anyone know for sure what Alesh had last round left? If under 555, then grenv is correct - a bug!

Otsikko: Re:

BIG BAD WOLF: I think he must have had 671 left. His autobid was eleven hundred or so I think which would have been knocked down to 671, leaving him with the 500 bonus. Makes sense to me.

30. Tammikuu 2005, 17:36:15

ScarletRose

Otsikko: Re:

Stevie: "So for example 350-671+500=179 not 500" How is he allowed to bid 671 when he only starts out with 350??
