I would lol a little bit if someone got disqualified for being an alt.

Higher chance of me winning then. Log in to see images!

But you’ve got an alt in the running, so aren’t you hoping to get away with it?

I know I am.

Everyone has responded to my request, and no one is claiming any Alts.

I’ll be back later to post the Final Phase rules.

I trust everyone here, so the request by a Mod to confirm will simply be a formality.

Welcome to the Sixth & Final Phase.

In this Final Phase, the Grand Prize is 5 Brownie Points. Winner take all.

Who will win? I have no idea. That’s actually for you to decide.

The first part of this Final Phase will be Discussion & Persuasion.

For the next two days, until 7 p.m. EST on Thursday, February 26th, you will explain to each other why you should be the Final Winner, and why they should be the Final Losers.

Tell your sad, sad story of lost love, demonstrate your manly might to impress the others, or try to persuade your fellow players with a little of the old ”Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean, Governor?”

But you’ll need to convince them to at least toss a vote or two your way.

Why?

Because the second part of this Final Phase will be Secret Voting.

Here’s how you’ll vote during this part:

Each of you will have 6 Voting Stones and 1 Voting Cup.

For every Voting Stone you place in another Player’s Voting Cup, that Player earns 1 Vote.

For every Voting Stone that you place in your own Voting Cup, you earn 1/3 of a Vote.

For every Voting Stone that you do NOT use, you lose 1 Vote.

(Participation is Mandatory)

The player with the most Votes (not Stones) wins the entire prize. Your final Vote tally could range from -6 to +32.

You will Tubmail me your Voting Stone choices in secret. The Votes will not be revealed until all Votes are in.

Only the Secret Votes count. Regardless of what was discussed in the first stage, the official results will be based on the Tubmailed Votes. Once submitted, Votes cannot be changed, so be 100% sure before you Tubmail me.

The Secret Voting Phase will last for at least one day, or until all Votes are in.

In the event of a tie…

Well, let’s just say that will be even more evil.

The first part of the Final Phase will begin in 30 minutes, at 7 p.m. EST. Feel free to ask any questions at this time.

Prisoner’s dilemma is pretty fun. So, here we go:

If we all vote strictly for ourselves, we get 2 votes. We can publicly plot and scheme all we like, but psychology suggests that we are all very likely to take the selfish route and vote for ourselves after promising to vote for one other person with which we are ‘colluding’ but secretly intend to screw over.

That being said, I’ll make this offer: I’ll split the pot with the first person to respond to this post with a tubmail. I have BP already, so don’t need to win all 5. I’ll give you 3, and take 2 for myself. You get the better end of the deal, and we break out of the prisoner’s dilemma problem. It’s the best option. It’s the only option.

To make this clear, by the by, it means that I (like you all) am going to cast all of my votes for myself, and you, my partner, will cast all of your votes for me.

Because I’ve got nothing left to hide, my cards are on the table. You know exactly what to expect, and I don’t need the BPs, so I can’t trust you to not screw me out of them.

Also, note the multiple quoting.

Yeah, like anyone will believe that, especially since toxx appears to apply only to contest hosts and we will never know who voted for whom.

EDIT: We will know who voted for whom, but people still aren’t held to their promises.

It’s nonRP – something I always forget before I do my [ code ] tags.

Congratulations EB, stage 6 is way better than the others.

Also, if anyone here is going to give up (I doubt it), give your balls to me Log in to see images!

2 things:

1) Why do you have an Episode 2-exclusive E-Peen? Are you trying to trick us?

2) Why are you Level 15 when you’ve been playing for months? Are you someone’s alt?

EDIT: Crap, I forgot that Internet Attorney is available before you buy Episode 2. My bad.
