Buy the Bullet is a negotiation, bidding, and targetting game based on concepts similar to Ready, Aim, Fire! and Ferris Wheel. Each round one bullet will be offered and the player that earns the bullet can then target any player who will then be executed. However, earning that bullet will require negotiation and strategy based on the limited resources that you have to start. Furthermore, executed players still have a chance to affect the outcome, because their unused cards can be pledged to alive players for use later in the game! Who will buy the bullet and who will bite the bullet?
Rules- Every player begins with four cards in their hand, one of each card suit. Players will not be granted any new cards until all cards in the alive players have been used. No new cards will be given to any players unless everyone is empty-handed.
- Cards are used to bid for the bullet. Each round, players will either privately play a card in their hand or no card. Players are given 48 hours to PM the mod their choice. The player that bid with the highest ranked unduplicated card for that round will win the bullet. In the case of ties all around, no one will win the bullet and all cards in that round will be discarded. Each round all bid cards will be discarded whether a bullet has been bought or not. If all bids are in, the results may be announced earlier than 48 hours but at minimum 12 hours will pass before results are announced.
- Cards are ranked in this order Diamonds ♦♢ > Hearts ♥♡ > Spades ♠♤ > Clubs ♣♧.
- For example if in round one, five players played the following:
A - No card
B - Diamond ♦
C - Diamond ♦
D - Heart ♥
E - Club ♣
Then D would win the trick. Diamonds cancel each other out for duplicating, and the next highest card in the trick is Hearts. However, if E played a Heart, then no one earns the bullet, and all played cards are discarded. All bids are made public on each round. All cards in hand are also public. - If all alive players submit "no card", then all dead players will have 24 hours to publicly vote for which alive player should lose their highest-ranked card as a penalty for the unanimous "no card" submission. The alive player who receives the most votes will lose their highest-ranked card. If there is a tie, then all of the votes on the tied players will be removed and the alive player who received the next most number of votes will receive the penalty and lose their highest-ranked card. If this means that no player has earned the most votes due to cancellations, then no player will receive the penalty to lose the highest-ranked card.
- The player that earns the bullet will have 24 hours to then announce in thread whom s/he would like to execute/shoot. Please bold like so Shoot: pablito. The executed player is then removed from contention from winning. The executed player retains all cards still in his/her hand and will likely affect the outcome of the game. Alive players can communicate via PMs. Dead players can continue to post only in thread after death to continue negotiating with players.
- Because it is very likely that alive players will run out of cards before the end of the game, dead players may pledge one card each round in his/her hand to any alive player. To do so, a dead player must post in bold like so Pledge: Heart to xofelf(pun intended). Once a card is pledged to an alive player, the choice cannot be undone unless the recipient is later executed.
- Once all alive players run out of cards, all pledged cards will be given to alive players.
- After pledged cards have been given to alive players,once a round occurs in which all dead players run out of cards or no more cards are pledged in a round, then all dead playersare fully removedcan no longer pledge cards in the game and all alive players are given four new cards.
- Failure to submit a bid before deadline will give a player a strike. First strike - Submit "no card". Second strike - Submit "highest non-winning card". Third strike - Modkill/DQ. Failure to shoot someone before deadline leads to receiving a strike and a 24 hr extension of deadline. Penalty will apply during next bidding phase.
- Play continues until only one player remains - who is then announced the winner.

As I was away from the computer I realized I didn't make that specific.
I'll leave it as a vote to the players. Dead players for sure can only post in thread.
Vote for YEA for PMing between alive players or NAY for PMing between alive players?
Also, all choices will be made public upon each round.Sup, later.-

Game has started. Round 1 begins! Feel free to communicate with any alive players right now. The deadline for round 1 is Monday night 21:00 EDT. Before the deadline each player must PM me a bid. You may choose to bid a card of any suit or you may choose to bid "no card". Once I receive all bids, even if before deadline, I will announce results. Once the final bid is in, all choices are final. Before then you may switch your choice via PM. Once the results are up, I will notify all players that there is 24 hours for the shooter (if there is one) to publicly announce a target.
Please refer to the rules in post #2 to see how the bids will resolve. Remember that ties will cause all of those cards to cancel out and all cards, once played, will disappear.
Questions? Feel free to PM me.Sup, later.-

Deadline later today in about nine hours or math.
Just a handful to be prodded this round.
Also I failed to post activity rules. 3 strike system. On first strike you will submit "no card". On second activity strike you will submit the highest non-winning card (no card if highest winning bid is clubs or lower) OR the highest tying card if highest bids cancel each other out. In other words the highest card possible in your possession to not win. On third strike you will be mod killed. First round is a freebie all around.Sup, later.-

Apologies. Just went into a meeting and only wanted to notify that bids were locked. Results now! (as long as I'm not interrupted)
All players submitted their bid of a card or no card! And before deadline! Will anyone have actually successfully bought the bullet? Remember that Diamonds is highest, followed by Hearts, Spades, then Clubs. Ties cancel each other out, the highest unduplicated card wins. If all are tied, then no one wins.
Let's start with Realeo (announced in dramatic order). What has Realeo bid?
Spoiler:
Next we'll announce Aronis!
Spoiler:
What has StrangerCoug bid?
Spoiler:
RedCoyote, what have you bid?

Finally - Kappy, what will you do after all these suspenseful results?

Btw if the suit icons are not showing up for you, please let me know so I can post additional information. Empty suits are used, solid suits are still available - in case you're interested.Sup, later.-

Okay thanks for the quick execution! Aronis is deaded and can continue to post in thread. You may no longer privately communicate with Aronis about this game. Aronis may once per round publicly pledge any of his four cards by bolding such. So be nice to Aronis and maybe you can get something in return. Or Aronis can spite you all if desired. 48 hours for Round 2 bidding. Please pm me your bid of a card or no card. See opening post for all your remaining cards.Sup, later.-

7/9 received. If current deadlines hold, then there will be a wait for the next round completion due to v/la. At least bidding wise.
Also, I'm loving this game. Feel free to notify me of your gameplay/strategy if you'd like - no requirement. I know some of you are using me as your confessional booth.Sup, later.-

Deadline midnight eastern tonight. Usually I would not extend but due to Survivor meet and me being extremely busy today I will do it.In post 103, Realeo wrote:@Pablito:
Can you extend the deadline by 6 hours? The deadline falls while I'm asleep & I haven't send in my pick. If you extend the deadline by 6, it should fall on 7 pm local time right?
I will offer extensions mostly only when we beat a previous deadline and the cycle is offSup, later.-

Please note rule updates in italics.
- After pledged cards have been given to alive players,once a round occurs in which all dead players run out of cards or no more cards are pledged in a round, then all dead players are fully removed from the game and all alive players are given four new cards.
- Failure to submit a bid before deadline will give a player a strike. First strike - Submit "no card". Second strike - Submit "highest non-winning card". Third strike - Modkill/DQ. Failure to shoot someone before deadline leads to receiving a strike and a 24 hr extension of deadline. Penalty will apply during next bidding phase.

This enables the guard card token being played. The player must then ask what distinguishes a guard card from a non guard card. Upon such, the dead player gets the pledged card back from the now-dead recipient. The dead player can then re-pledge but still only at a rate of one per round. Therefore xofelf does not have the right to give away your heart but she has the right to give away her heart. And I hope you both give them to me if you're both dead.

Er...no. Mafia games don't allow it, so I don't want to be setting precedent here - despite the differences. But quote towers or whatever are allowed - no to screenshots.In post 194, Kappy wrote: xofelf didn't necessarily join forces with me. But that quote is accurate.
@Mod: Can we take screenshots of PMs to post?
If so, I will post it to prove I'm telling the truth.Sup, later.-

Deadline passed. Xofelf earns a strike and must submit "no card" during next bidding phase. Extension of 24 hrs from this post before next deadline hits.
Please note that over the next few days I will only be able to check exactly at Friday 12pm noon or Sunday 12pm noon due to my v/la. As such the next deadline will occur at one of those times regardless of any actions occurring soon.Sup, later.-

My bad. I don't pay attention to pagetops. Claim them before I realize please. Also once a shot is made, always assume that the next round of bidding/pledging is open. Thank you Aronis and Kappy for abiding by such.
Deadline for Round 4 bidding is Sunday 11am eastern. I have no internet access until then, so just keep submitting as I will look at all timestamps to determine when all bids are in. So in other words, if you want to change your bid, just change it and hope for the best that not all bids are in.
Remember that xofelf's penalty applies during this bidding round. Also, if someone gets a second strike, the automatic submission will be the worst card possible (even if it's no card).

Ok. Rudimentary result post.
Xofelf must submit no card
Realeo submits spade
Majiffy no card
Red coyote no card
Cheery dog no card
StrangerCoug plays club
Radja first strike no card
Heuristically_alone second strike no card (any other card would win).
Realeo wins the bullet and has exactly 24 hrs from this post to execute someone.
After the execution the next bidding deadline will be Wednesday at 7pm eastern no matter what. Please submit bids any time after the bullet has executed someone. Game will resume with normal deadlines afterward.Sup, later.-

I'm confused how there are joint wins. There's just one winner? I need to figure out if this ruleset allows for ties so I'm legitimately wondering if there's something that needs to be looked at. If pledged cards are expired, and there are no more pledged, then it goes to "sudden death" and all players are given four new cards and all dead players are removed.In post 1, pablito wrote:Buy the Bullet is a negotiation, bidding, and targetting game based on concepts similar to Ready, Aim, Fire! and Ferris Wheel. Each round one bullet will be offered and the player that earns the bullet can then target any player who will then be executed.

Furthermore, executed players still have a chance to affect the outcome, because their unused cards can be pledged to alive players for use later in the game!

For the second game, I'll incorporate a different rule actually. Likely will be "Upon a single round of all alive players submitting 'no card', the dead players will hold a plurality vote to remove the highest ranked card from a single player. Each dead player will submit a public vote for whom they would like to target for the 'penalty card removal'."Sup, later.-

And we're early with the results.
Before the results, I just want to say that the current rule regarding "no card" is that if there are 3 total rounds in a game where all alive players submit "no card", then all alive players will be killed and no winner will be announced. For the next game, that rule will change. Let's hope it doesn't come into play.
First let's go to xofelf!

And with that, we're down to three players: Radja, StrangerCoug and xofelf.
Round 8 bidding deadline 48 hours on Thursday the 30th at 20:00 EDT - as there's no guarantees I'll be online earlier that day. However, if all bids are in early, I will announce results early. Remember that for this game if there are 3 rounds overall in which "no card" is submitted by all alive players, thenno onewins (except CuddlyCaucasian).
Kappy and Cheery Dog have their cards returned for re-pledging.

Alrighty, Radja submitted heart, so there's no way StrangerCoug can win at this point (newly pledged cards would not go into play until both alive players run out of cards). So I'll call the game as over. Especially since the game debriefing and discussion has already started.
Congrats Radja on the win!
Spoiler: trophy
Well done all players! This game far exceeded my expectations and the effort placed by all of you was tremendous. Thanks for making this a success! This was just a simple game I told CC I wanted to make and it turns out it was much more complex in gameplay than I realized.
Game 2 will close signups once there's at least 10. If I don't get that many, I'll place a deadline once there's a significant amount.Sup, later.-

Rule additions for Game 2:
- If all bids are in, the results may be announced earlier than 48 hours but at minimum 12 hours will pass before results are announced.
- If all alive players submit "no card", then all dead players will have 24 hours to publicly vote for which alive player should lose their highest-ranked card as a penalty for the unanimous "no card" submission. The alive player who receives the most votes will lose their highest-ranked card. If there is a tie, then all of the votes on the tied players will be removed and the alive player who received the next most number of votes will receive the penalty and lose their highest-ranked card. If this means that no player has earned the most votes due to cancellations, then no player will receive the penalty to lose the highest-ranked card.
