Seigheart Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) [u][center][b]Fierce Boss Head Contest Pool![/b][/center][/u] So, starting today, I would like to start taking bets(?) on who will win the First [b]Fierce Boss Head Contest[/b]! This is how it will work. In order to participate in this Pool, you must pay a minimum of 1sc and bet on who will win. The money collected will be put into a giant pool, the money that is gathered is then split amongst the people who chose the winner of the FBHC based on how much of the winning total of the Winning bet they won. So, if I was the only person who bet on Lightsage, and Lightsage won; I would get 100% of the pool. If I bet 1gc, and Chewett bet 1sc on Lightsage, I would get 15/16 of the pool, and chewett would get 1/16 of the pool. PS: I will not be taking any of the money for myself, I am just organizing it for fun! Edit: So, please post your bets in this thread and who you would like to bet on. The participants are allowed to bet as well. Current List of Participants: Eon (46sc) *Shadowseeker* (82sc) Shemhazaj (12sc) *Clock Master* (4sc) Manda (2sc) Lifeline (51sc) Ivorak (2sc) Hedge Munos (2sc) sasha lilias (1sc) *BFH Lightning* (1sc) Ravenstrider (2sc) *dst* (1sc) Current Pot: 206sc All gold bet must be paid within 24 hours of the contest starting.

awiiya Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Perhaps a blind ballot would work better, so that people were not influenced in their bettings? Awi
Kyphis the Bard Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 And either a list of participants, or a link to such a list?
Seigheart Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I would like the list of betters and their bets to be made public, that way there isn't any fear of tampering of the numbers. As for the list of participants, I am relying on the betters to be informed of who is participating. Edit: If the participants would like to pm that they are participating, they will be included on this list. Edited May 18, 2011 by Vicarious
Fyrd Argentus Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Well, somebody better start.... I will support Marind Bell's champion and place 5sc on Lifeline to win.
Junior Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) place 3gcs on Lifeline Edited May 18, 2011 by Juni0r
Seigheart Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Updated Bets. Edited May 18, 2011 by Vicarious
Fyrd Argentus Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 So slow... I'll put 1sc each on the other five (not upping my bet on Lifeline) so I get Junior's gold if nobody else bets and we lose....
Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Updated once again. If anyone has any word on anyone else that participates, please pm me their names. Thanks! Edit: Two new competitors and updated once again. Edited May 19, 2011 by Vicarious
Hedge Munos Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Out of curiosity, can participants bet? (Not saying I will, just wanted to make this clear...)
Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 Read the top post again Yes, they can.
Curiose Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Seigheart is NOT doing this under the name of the TKs. He is doing it on his own time. Not ours. Unless otherwise stated by Mur, what I say is on official grounds as Manager. The Treasure Keepers are to HELP Mur with his dealings. An Information Specialist keeps track of Mur's Posts, the Announcements. MUR SAID THAT IN THE MEETING. If you ever dare undermine the importance of this role again, there will be consequences.

Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Okay, total misunderstanding, this was not for the TKs, but as a fun to celebrate my selection for the TKs... They have absolutely nothing to do with it. O.o Edited May 19, 2011 by Vicarious
Curiose Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Alright. Please word it clearer next time instead of leaving it so vague. Edited May 19, 2011 by Curiose
Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 [quote name='Curiose' timestamp='1305776631' post='84624'] Alright. Please word it clearer next time instead of leaving it so vague. [/quote] Will do! Sorry about that again.
Fyrd Argentus Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 You say "All gold bet must be paid within 24 hours of the contest starting" (silver too, I assume) I am in process of clawing my way to the East lands again, and I'm not coming back just for this! Where are you? And how do we know BHC has really started given all the mystery Mur is putting up around this?
Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 [quote][2011-05-18 04:29:36 - Stage 10] Boss Heads Contest - Fierce Edition - Signup started Anyone can participate, but this will be a blood bath with only one winner. Rewards updated, check signup page. Contest starts on day 144.[/quote] The Contest Starts on Day 144. All bets must be payed before the end of Day 145.
Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 The reason why I am allowing that buffer time is two part. 1. It allows a complete and fully updated list of all participants. 2. It allows others time to view this list and make appropriate bids.
Root Admin Chewett Posted May 19, 2011 Root Admin Report Posted May 19, 2011 To avoid any complaints after this has all been done, What happens with leftover silver and such? Because as the amount of people entering the bets increases, the amount of silver that will be a "remainder" will increase, what will happen to it, assuming that some people wont just randomly recieve more than others who placed the same amount of bet [quote] PS: I will not be taking any of the money for myself, I am just organizing it for fun! [/quote] Because you did say that, So my suggestion would be to donate it to some "just" cause, Such as the Lhos for example. Prince Marvolo, nadrolski and Seigheart 3
Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Any left over silver (if any) will be used for future events/quests. I will not use it for my own personal gain. Edit: Or I will use it to reward people for being helpful to others. In any case, it will go to something worthwhile. Edited May 19, 2011 by Vicarious
TTLexceeded Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) 5 silver on SS. Edit: And another 5 silver on Eon. I have to bet on him as well... Edited May 20, 2011 by TTLexceeded Chewett, nadrolski, Seigheart and 2 others 3 2
