Political Coalitions game (Round 4)

[Hoppster]

To clarify, I am not going to end this round early. It's only two more days anyway. This is to prevent me accidently screwing over people who are working via PM to wrap up a different deal and just pretend to agree to the decision to prevent people getting suspicious.

[TonyMontana]

4 seats: yabbaguy (Rent Is Too Damn High Party) 60 mill
4 seats: UltimaAvalon (Pirate Party) 60 mill
4 seats: Twistedspoon (All of Your Base Party) 60 mill
3 seats: Cirno (Ultimo Dragon party) 30 mill
1 seat: TonyMontana (Get Rid Of Slimy girlS (GROSS)) 10 mill

I support this at the moment.

same

the rest of you need to confirm to wrap up this deal

This.

[Lowell]

I think I'm replacing Ultima. As the new Pirate Party head I'll review what's going on.

[Lowell]

Lowell aka new Ultima supports the plan above.

[Cirno]

I'm down.

Let's all PM Hoppster our coalition and force him to go back on his word of not ending the round early.

[Twistedspoon]

PM'd

[Lowell]

I PMd as well.

[Hoppster]

Damnit people, I am not ending this round early.

I can confirm that Lowell is replacing UltimaAvalon. Anybody who wishes to be a future replacement should PM me.

[Twistedspoon]

need Yabbaguy and Tony to PM methinks

[yabbaguy]

Sent.

[TonyMontana]

PMSed

[Cirno]

Tony its already friday you did it wrong

[TonyMontana]

I PMed before Hoppster reaffirmed his stance on deadlines, if it makes you feel better

[Hoppster]

Aaargh. Sorry for missing the deadline, but for what it's worth:

ROUND 1 - DISCUSSION OVER

To reiterate, this includes communication over PM as well. You now have just over 36 hours to PM me your coalition proposal.

NB: Even if you have no coalition to propse, PLEASE PM ME TO CONFIRM YOU STILL WISH TO PLAY NEXT ROUND. A couple of people distinctly did not post in the topic, and although they may have been actively pushing for a coalition via PM, I cannot know this for sure. If I do not recieve a response from you, I may decide to replace/eliminate you.

I also would prefer for those who PM'd me with an earlier coalition proposal to PM me again (whether with the same proposal or not). Just for organisational reasons really.

[Zang]

Sorry, I forgot about this.

[werewolf555]

I would like to continue playing

[Hoppster]

Sorry, I forgot about this.

No matter. You're only an insignificant 1-seater anyway.

I would like to continue playing

Duly noted - however, I did ask for a PM . Although there's no point in you PM'ing me now!

[Twistedspoon]

when's the coalition revealed and our monies shown?

[Hoppster]

When I have recieved a PM from everybody (there's still one person left) - failing that, in about 12 hours.

[Hoppster]

Discussion progresses well. A coalition looks certain, then... a few parties jump ship in an attempt to pocket a bit more money for themselves. After all, that luxury yacht isn't going to pay for itself.

Discussion progresses even better. A coalition looks certain, then... a few parties jump ship in an attempt to pocket a bit more money for themselves. After all, those 2 luxury yachts and that 3rd mansion aren't going to pay for themselves.

Discussion progresses fantastically. By the end of the negotiating time, everybody is confident that a coalition will be formed.

Result: No Coalition

Oh dear. Now you're going to have to stick with your crappy little boat and 2 mansions. Or...
We can hold another election! Perhaps you'd better get your campaign up to scratch this time though.

Pot:

$440m

You now have just under 24 hours to PM me an amount between $0m and however much money you have remaining (in a multiple of $20m) for the amount of money you wish to spend campaigning. Each $20m gets you one extra 'ticket' when the number of seats won is determined. PM's must be to me by 10pm, Monday 7 February (GMT).

NB: There was some confusion due to Lowell's replacing in, however, this was not the reason the coalition failed. I will not disclose who 'betrayed' the coalition. Note that it may be more than one person.

MY PLAN HAS SUCCEEDED

I PMed a bunch of coalitions to everybody and agreed to every one I got sent so that people would be confused about which one to run with.

[yabbaguy]

Do we have the precise same card distribution as last time, or is it just something that adds to 30?

[Hoppster]

Do we have the precise same card distribution as last time, or is it just something that adds to 30?

It will be different (but still having a total of 30).

There is a saying out in the farmlands of Missouri. It goes 'Never attribute to Gandalf that which can be adequately explained by Tony". Pretty sure Tony just thought "They gain money while I lose it? NOPE.". I happen to be a psychic and can confirm this as fact.
