Seigheart Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share 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 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Perhaps a blind ballot would work better, so that people were not influenced in their bettings? Awi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphis the Bard Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 And either a list of participants, or a link to such a list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigheart Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share 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.

Fyrd Argentus Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curiose Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curiose Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Alright. Please word it clearer next time instead of leaving it so vague. Edited May 19, 2011 by Curiose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyrd Argentus Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted May 19, 2011 Root Admin Report Share 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. nadrolski, Seigheart and Prince Marvolo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigheart Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share 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.
