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.

How exactly did Final Phase Part 1 start 30 minutes after your post? Does persuasion before 7 PM server time somehow “not count”? Is DOPE-HARDCORE-0 disqualified for trying to persuade us too early?
