RED CROWN TOURNAMENT DAY ELEVEN: The Contest of the Princes

[AniX]

Here we are, the dawn of the final day. All in All, 31 people tested their mettle in the Red Crown tournament, but there can only be one winner. And it is time to decide just who that is. As of right now, the top 11 have been locked in. These are now the only viable contestants to win the Tournament. They are, as follows:

Cook: 193
VashtaNeurotic: 141
Aureal: 135
Haschel Cedricson: 75
Schadd_: 68
Aisa: 57
Ircher: 48
GeorgeBailey: 39
Ythan: 34
T-Bone: 29
DeathRowKitty: 28


But the rest of you still have your parts to play. You have points burning a hole in your pocket. It is time to spend them. Hell, you might even want to earn more to spend more. Here are the contestants who have points left over:

the worst: 28

But WHAT do you use them for? Well, it is quite simple. If you are not in the top 11, your point are now currency, which you may spend as you wish off the following menu to enact the effects. You may select as many as you want, as often as you want, whenever you want, as long as you have the points left to do so. You may also pool your points with as many users as you’d like to go for bigger and bigger impacts. Simply post what you wish to buy and watch as your influence washes over the scoreboard:

[0 Points] I Don’t Have Time for This: Immediately transfer all your points to any other non-player user
[1 Point] Equivalent Exchange: A player of your choice gains 1 Point
[2 Points] I Don’t Care Who Wins, Only Who Loses: A player of your choice loses 1 Point
[3 Points] Take That, Buddy: A user of your choice may not pool points with other users, they may only spend their own points on their own.
[4 Points] Take That, Comrade: A user of your choice may not spend points, they may only pool their points with another user
[5 Points] Best 0 out of 1: Select a Contest entry and a user. That user’s entry does not count towards their final total. This does not change who qualifies to be a player. An entry is qualified as one point-earning occurrence (including bundles that earn more points if you do a bunch together)
[6 Points] Eternal Thursday: Select a Contest entry and a user. That user’s entry counts double towards their final total. Please note that all points earned in the Contest of the Treasurers were counted as their normal amount of points and doubled points from that will not stack with this.
[7 Points] Lock it Down: You may lock one Red Crown affiliated thread (other than this one), whether it was posted by another user or by me, for the next 11 hours.
[8 Points] Moderators Literally Are Cheating At This Game and AniX is letting Them: Double the points of a current moderator of your choice, whether they are still a player or a user who is spending points.
[9 Points] Wait, Never Mind, 8 and 9 Are Joke Entries: A moderator of your choice immediately loses all their points.
[10 Points] RUN THE NUMBERS AGAIN!: All scores, including the scores of players and other users, are compared again. A new Top 11 list will be produced from those results. Any user who was previously a player may immediately begin spending their points.
[11 Points] Power of the 11th Hour: A player of your choice gains 22 points
[22 Points] At the Last Minute: You may add another player to the list, Mr. 11th Hour, who enters the game immediately and with 111 points. This player is not affiliated with any account. They will not compete in any competitions, but they are otherwise treated as any other player including for the purposes of this Point spend Menu and for victory purposes. This immediately pushes the current player with the lowest points off the list and qualifies them to begin spending their points immediately.


Please note that all active Contests are STILL active. While users who are not in the top 11 are NOT eligible to win, they can still earn more points to spend. And obviously users still competing need all the points they can muster!

[AniX]

I pledge my single point to creating a weapon to surpass mithal Gear, Mr. 11th Hour. Surely there is a group of someones with 21 points to add to this noble cause.

[AniX]

Mechanically, AniX:
1. Can there be multiple Mr. 11th Hours and
2. If the lowest player has more than 111 points will they be kicked off and
3. Can Mr. 11th Hour be kicked off the list

As written, there is no restriction on the number of new players that can be generated by that menu item.
As written, a player will be kicked off when Mr. 11th Hour joins the list, but it could be Mr. 11th Hour if he is, upon his inclusion, the lowest entry.

[AniX]

Player refers to the now locked-in users with the 11 highest point scores listed above.

User refers to this group AND any of the people listed with points.

[AniX]

I am defining it now as above and any text in contraction to this errata should be considered constructively edited.

[AniX]

Users may otherwise use themselves as a valid selection, subject to those definitions however.

[AniX]

Yes

It feels a little off that now

only moderators can be awarded points to join top eleven

but it's probably for the best. Don't you love trying to balance games?

Didn't answer whether you need to authorize the point expenditure/boost though or if some moderator like T-Bone can just post a long sequence that modifies their own points repeatedly.

This is not technically correct

I do not need to explicitly authorize point spending, no.

[AniX]

This is not technically correct

Okay,

technically

0 could still be used to give non mods points. It's not very likely to be too relevant though.

Users, even those not in the top 11, are not forbidden from earning points through the methods that have been used to generate points throughout the tournament.

But the rest of you still have your parts to play. You have points burning a hole in your pocket. It is time to spend them.

Hell, you might even want to earn more to spend more.

Please note that all active Contests are STILL active.

While users who are not in the top 11 are NOT eligible to win, they can still earn more points to spend

[AniX]

Your points have been doubled, you didn't want to do anything else?

TECHNICALLY the game has ended, but I assume worst thought to do this prior to 11:11pm EST so I will PERMIT it. Let us go through each of his actions in turn.

[AniX]

The Winner of the First Red Crown Game is Cook! I will give this a day or two to make sure I didn't make any mistakes but it seems unlikely that Cook's massive contributions to the Wiki will be able to topple her from her hard-won seat.

[AniX]

Right you are! She has indeed been sent to a fate worse than death row, the non-player user list.

[AniX]

One last minute change in rankings, which does not impact final result, is George Baily rises above Ircher (thanks to earning an additional 11 points for having the longest RC thread) to take 8th place!
