Rules (please note the bold rules specifically):
* Players may join at any time. If you want to join, simply participate in the next round. Players already in the game can sit out as many rounds as they wish.
* Each round, players PM me with a number. All players who submitted the highest number LOSE that many points, all other players gain points equal to the number they submitted.
* You do not have to post to say you are joining. Just PM me with your chosen number, and please put "High Number Death Game", "HNDG" or something similar in the subject line, as well as the round number.
* Players can go into negative scores.
* There will be a bid cap on each round.
* Players who submit a number higher than the bid cap will lose points equal to their bid, and their bid will be disqualified. * The bid cap for round one is 100. * All bids must be integers.
* After each round, the bid cap will be become the maximum of the cap from the previous round, and twice the second-highest bid from the previous round.
* Each round ends when the next round begins. This will be shown by me posting to say so in this thread, and posting the updated scoreboard. I will aim to do a new round about every 24 hours, but if it goes on longer because I can't get to the computer, the round will be extended and it won't really affect the gameplay.
* You may post on this thread to discuss the game/formulate strategy/attempt to manipulate your opponents.
* At the end of 10 Rounds, the player with the most points is announced the winner for this game, and we'll start again from round 1!
The deadline for round one is 11:59 PM EST, Thursday June 4.
