  5. Even Odds

    in Quest Archive

    Posted · Edited by Myth

    Adding a pinch of gambling. :P

     

    Miq and myself will be throwing dice on May 23rd, fighting each other for a certain creature. Whoever throws the dice and gets odd values on most throws, wins the creature. This is where you come in. What you need to do is guess the outcome of the throws: will it be an even value, or will it be an odd value? Here are the details:

     

    - Number of dice rounds = number of gamblers.

    - Minimum number of gamblers is 3.

    - Gamble is between 5 silver coins and 3 gold coins per player.

    (you may put in up to 3 gold if you wish, but this gives you no better chances; it only makes the pot larger)

    - Sing-ups are required, to determine the number of rounds Miq and I will be playing.

    - Signup here and send the gambling fee to dst until May 15th, 23:59 ST.

    - Post proof of the fee transfer here.

    - Number of people who post proof determines the number of guesses (rounds) you each need to make.

    - Send these guesses via forum or in-game PM to me, anytime before May 22nd, 23:59 ST.

    - Form of guess is any of the following: odd-odd, even-even, odd-even or even-odd. (Miq-myself)

    - Game between Miq and myself will commence on May 23rd.

    - May 24th, logs will be posted, guesses will be made public and results will be announced.

    - Prize distribution will occur afterwards.

     

    Score is % based. How many dice you get right out of how many will be thrown.

     

    Prizes are:

    1st place: 50% of pot

    2nd place: 30% of pot

    3rd place: 20% of pot

    (values are rounded up, and additional coin requirements would be sponsored by anniversary rewards)

     

    Now... this is a gamble. Because of this, there's a possibility that 2 or more people might get 1st place. Should this happen, prizes get split accordingly. (for instances, 2 players getting 1st place will win 25% of the pot, each)

     

    [log='Example']3 players: A, B, C = 3 rounds. Pot = 15sc
    Player A says: odd-odd, odd-even, even-odd
    Player B says: even-odd, odd-even, odd-even
    Player C says: odd-odd, even-even, odd-odd

    Rounds, Miq-Asthir:
    1. 7-10
    2. 6-12
    3. 3-7

    Results:
    Player A: yes-no, no-yes, no-yes = 3/6 = 50%
    Player B: no-no, no-yes, yes-no = 2/6 = 33.33%
    Player C: yes-no, yes-yes, yes-yes = 5/6 = 83.33%

    Rewards:
    1st = Player C = 7.5sc rounded up = 8sc
    2nd = Player A = 4.9995sc = 5sc
    3rd = Player B = 3sc (no roundup required)[/log]
