(unrelated to AMC's request)
I'm going to expand/clarify/remind people of the following rule:
Quote:
All that I would like out of you is a "Deal" or a "No Deal" after each round, posted in this thread. Realistically, I don't really need "No Deal"s as much, but it reassures me that people are actively playing. I'll interpret a lack of response as a "No Deal", but that doesn't mean people who don't participate automatically win what's in the box; you have to post a decision at least once over the course of the week in order to be counted.
Some people who posted in the first two rounds have yet to post again; this is fine, but this means that you will be counted as saying "no deal" to every offer before the current one (£13,000 at 5-box). On the other hand, there are certain forum members who have yet to post for this week; this is also fine, but in order to be considered as a player you need to post either today or tomorrow your decisions for the respective boards, and your first four decisions all will have been "no deal".
This is all in order to preserve fairness and honesty to these games while still being lenient. I understand that people may be too busy to check up on this thread everyday, or will wait until the endgame to make decisions since the first half doesn't matter (unless you don't have an aversion to dealing the first few offers
), or possibly forget that this thing exists (especially since this is new). But in order to prevent people from using hindsight in making previous decisions, I can't have people jumping in at the final offer only to say "Well, I'd have dealt the fourth offer since the game crashed afterwards!" or "I knew the fourth offer wasn't good; just look at that finish!" ...well, I suppose the latter can't be prevented, but the former certainly can.
What this really means: The "In live play" list consists of those who have posted at least once in the thread but have yet to deal. If your name is on this list but you haven't posted in days, that's fine; you have been considered as saying "no deal" to each offer in your absence and should carry on with the current round. If your name is not on this list and you wish to play, there is nothing wrong with that at all; as long as you post at least once before the week is over, you will just be considered as saying "no deal" to each offer until this point.
Now, for the "expansion": I will grant a bit of leniency here in terms of people who post once but forget about this thread later: If you can make the case that you have forgotten about the current game (which, for now let's say counts as "not posting in at least two days"), and you don't think it's fair to be considered for statistics or whatnot, you can either post here or PM me about taking your name off the "in live play" list, and your game will not be counted. This policy certainly has potential for abuse, so it will be up to me whether I can take your plea honestly and whether I do anything about it.
In the end of the day, this is all just for fun (for now), so please do nice things!
tl;dr: As long as you post at least once this week, you will be considered as playing this game, regardless of whether you remember to check up on it later, unless you request otherwise.
