A Conquer Club Paradox

Lets say you eliminate someone, putting you at a total of 6 cards. Now lets say you decide to not take any action for an hour. Does your turn end after an hour with you still hold the 6 cards?

intriguing thought.lets try it.. lets get in a terminator game maniac.. you let me take you out when it would equal more than 5 cards.. and I wont take any action.

Sounds good, except how about you let me take you out.

How about to be fair to both of you, i'll be the mediator and i'll take you both out (4p game).

Me too.

It would be nice if we could get someone who wouldn't mind sacrificing a few points to solve this mystery.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 9:17 pm

well I could have just tried it. but I'm trying to make the big come back

Why dont you play 2 games and just do it once to each other?

maniacmath17 · Post by **maniacmath17** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:35 pm

I would end up losing points if we were to do that ...

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:38 pm

he makes a good point.. I'll be a private by then..

AK_iceman · Post by **AK_iceman** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:38 pm

So play 3 games and win 2 of them?

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:39 pm

Ak i was going to try it in grims "rt" game... when I took battlemstr out.

but I didnt.

Kyle gets 35 for killing me, I get 11 for killing him, so no, 3 games with me winning 2 wont do it either. I suppose we could do 4 games in which I win 3 of them. Im willing to sacrifice 2 points to answer this question.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:51 pm

in that case I'd actually have to sacrafice a point.. and you know in the end we'd both be losing points because there'd be a third person in there. .and we'd be suiciding on eachother.

how about normal freestyle and whoevers left deadbeats?

I cant remember what happens when everybody deadbeats. what happens to the points?

maniacmath17 · Post by **maniacmath17** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 12:16 am

lol, whoever's left wins the game, not sure how you would think the last person could deadbeat...

MeDeFe · Post by **MeDeFe** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 2:52 am

the last two then... I'm willing to be your third partner. Once I get a free slot...

ZawBanjito · Post by **ZawBanjito** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 3:54 am

Can't you just ask lack what happens? Hey lack, what happens in this case?

Phobia · Post by **Phobia** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 12:13 pm

well i think you gotta keep the cards till next turn... it wouldnt be good if you lost them

i could check the code but i prefer to let these guys figure it out through experimentation

But who is the last if all player who are left start deadbeting at the same time? When playing sequential it's obvious, but what happens when you play freestyle?
Just another paradoxon you two can try out.

Oh and there is yet another one: What happens if one player eliminates another, is about to cash in cards, but gets eliminated by a third player before he can cash in?

I've got it.. maniac how about we play a team game.. one of us takes one of them out then doesnt do anything.. neither of us lose points only those poor suckers who sign up do.
