Do we really need to be sent a message when we get the 500 point bonus for a round?

no

that was really cunning grenv. You must try it again

The 5th player had 0 points. It was my best play since I clearly couldn't get the bonus.

i know, but it's just so funny to see a bid like that so late. However, I wouldn't know much about surviving into late rounds...:)

I'm just surprised the other 2 players didn't bet 1 as well!

it's initially such a counterintuitive bet that it probably was immediately discarded, but you've forced a paradigm shift already, i'll bet!

what is paradigm?

Subject: Re: Re:
BerniceC: well, a paradigm is like a mode of thinking or a belief system, and when you are forced to re-examine them and conclude you need to adopt something new, that's a paradigm shift.

no, you're right, men tend to intentionally overcomplicate things. Oh, wait, or was it women? Hmmm...never mind

Alesh should not have 500 points ,he should have 171 less than their last points only ..after bidding 671 and then 500 bonus added back on.

30. January 2005, 12:09:33
Stevie 
I think he had 300+ left didnt he?

30. January 2005, 12:10:19

Modified by Stevie (30. January 2005, 12:10:37)
So for example 350-671+500=179 not 500

don't know but just noticed you're kicking ass! keep it up, Stevie!

Subject: Alesh
Stevie: I'd say, first are all given points substracted from the pool, i.e. he has 0 points remaining, and *then* he get the bonus of 500.

Subject: Re: Alesh
Bad Bishop: That means from now on..he will always have 500 points then

30. January 2005, 12:22:24
Crook 
I'm quite sure this is his last round, because it makes sense again to go for the bonus.

30. January 2005, 12:24:08
Stevie 
But going by his last move..( he bid way more than points he had left) he will bid 671 again ( auto) his points will not go to -171 then add 500 bonus..It will actually go down to 0 but no further...then he will win 500 bonus ( unless another bids more) and he will once again be at 500

30. January 2005, 12:27:12
rabbitoid 
until (probably soon) someone bets 501

30. January 2005, 12:28:10
Stevie 
Nope...because he is bidding 671, so they would have to bid more than 671

30. January 2005, 12:28:46
Crook 
This is correct, but I bet there will be at least one player with a bid higher than 500 points.

Stevie: He is bidding 671, but he can actually bid only 500 points.

30. January 2005, 12:29:47
Stevie 
aahhhh right...so because he only has 500 left, the auto bid will auto drop from 671 to 500 this time then?

30. January 2005, 12:31:08
Crook 
Yep.

30. January 2005, 12:31:59
Stevie 
I remembered wrong numbers didnt I.....he was auto bidding 1400+ before wasnt he LOL

wake up Steve LMAO

30. January 2005, 12:32:24
Stevie 
wheres your table again BB? LOL

30. January 2005, 12:35:06
Crook 
My table is deleted. :-) I can't manage tables for all ponds (not even for the ponds, in which I'm participating), so I'm managing none. Why should I do Fencer's business? :-P

30. January 2005, 12:36:10
Stevie 
Its your fault I remembered wrong numbers then LOL

30. January 2005, 12:36:59
Crook 
Sure. :-)

30. January 2005, 12:38:10
Crook 
Hehe, what do you mean? There are five autobids of 8 points. Should we bid 9, is it safe? :-)

30. January 2005, 12:39:16
rabbitoid 
maybe for 1 round, improbable that all the autobidders will wake up at once

30. January 2005, 12:39:49
Maxxina 
Safe is 10 :]

30. January 2005, 12:40:15
Crook 
They all logged in in the last three days, so maybe they will change their bids...

30. January 2005, 12:40:19
Stevie 
safe is 11

30. January 2005, 12:40:42
Crook 
Maxxina: I'd say 11 is 100% safe.

Subject: weve been proved wrong
a pawn in this game http://brainking.com/game/Pond?p=0&g=10 changed their bid.....it was 16 last round, then 19 this time.

Auto Bid - If a person does not put in a bid, it will use what was used last round. If they do not have the points to cover that amount, it will use as much as the user has left.

So if Alesh was bidding 671 points per round, but last round only had 350 points left - the auto bid would place the bid for only 350, not the 671 since they do not have those points to cover the bet.

30. January 2005, 16:58:44
grenv 
Then there is a bug, because Alesh got the bonus for betting 671. 350 would not have got the bonus.

30. January 2005, 17:03:32
coan.net 
Actually I don't remember how much Alesh had left last round (someone below said something around 350)

All I know is Alesh had less then 671 points. But if they had over 555, then they should have gotten the bonus.

If they had under 555 left, then Molly should have gotten the bonus.

Does anyone know for sure what Alesh had last round left? If under 555, then grenv is correct - a bug!

30. January 2005, 17:35:41
Mike UK 
Subject: Re:
BIG BAD WOLF: I think he must have had 671 left. His autobid was eleven hundred or so I think which would have been knocked down to 671, leaving him with the 500 bonus. Makes sense to me.

30. January 2005, 17:36:15
ScarletRose 
Subject: Re:
Stevie: "So for example 350-671+500=179 not 500" How is he allowed to bid 671 when he only starts out with 350??

30. January 2005, 17:39:32
coan.net 
Subject: Re: Re:
Mike UK: Now that you mention that, I think you are correct - Alesh's auto bid WAS over 1,000 - so they only had 671 points left which is why the auto-bid changed from the 1,100+ big to the 671 bid.

Next round will the the auto-bid of 500 - and as long as someone bids more then 500, they will run out of points.
