Bank or Gamble?
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2012 1:38 pm
I'm making a lot of Bored Games right now, and here is another one.
Basically, the first person to post posts Start: 1. The next person has two options, they can gamble and double the score to 2, or bank 1 point and say Bank: 1. The next person, again, either gambles and doubles it to 2, or banks and sets it to 1. If they gamble, the next person can bank it and reset it to 1 or gamble and double it to 4. When you bank, the amount is added to your score.
OTHER RULES:
Please don't bank until the score goes over 4. This is not a resriction, but it would make the game more interesting.
No double posting except for bumping.
If an outpost occurs, then you must treat the posts in the order they appear. Examples:
User1: Gamble: 128
User2: Bank: 1
User3: Bank: 1
User 3 got outposted, so user 2 collects 128 points and user 3's post is treated as a gamble. So the next user would bank 2 or gamble to 4.
User1: Gamble: 128
User2: Bank: 1
User3: Gamble: 256
User 3 got outposted, so user 2 collects 128 points, not 256, and user 3's post is treated as a gamble. So the next user would bank 2 or gamble to 4.
Example of a game:
User1 - Start: 1
User2 - Gamble: 2
User3 - Gamble: 4
User2 - Gamble: 8
User1 - Bank: 1
User3 - Gamble: 2
User4 - Bank: 1
In that instance, user 1 would score eight points, and user 4 would score two points (these are the scores they banked). Every time you bank, your points are added to a running total. Note that you never use the Start: sign, that's just for me to start the game off with. After a bank, you always use Bank: or Gamble:. Please do put your posts in the form which I did in the example above.
Of course you can use a calculator, but here are the first twenty score values for your reference:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072, 262144, 524288.
So as you can see, if you keep gambling, the user who banks can score A LOT!
These are the scores for everyone who has posted:
KecleonFan - 4
benjamin2 - 0
Game on!
