AC Wagers

[Revenant]

Alright everyone, the Adventurer's Crown gambling hall is open. The house is matching wagers at this time for the following:

Round 1 Winners - Groups 3, 4, 5, 6
Highest Scoring Group - Group 6
Lowest Scoring Group - Group 7
First Dropout Closed - Slayer of the Rot
Number of Round 1 Dropouts - 5
and ...

Tournament Winner (if you guess correctly you will get x10 GP back on your wager!) - Ongoing

All you need to do is wager GP or an item that you're willing to part with. If your wager is correct, you'll gain that much back (or a coupon for a bazaar equivalent in the case of an item), but if you lose you lose it all.

Best of luck everyone!

[Rayse Valentino]

All my wagers are 200GP unless stated otherwise.

Round 1 winners: Group 1, Group 3, Group 5, and Group 8. (800GP total)
Highest Scoring Group: Group 1.

I'm not sure if I ever got paid for getting the tournament winner right in the Serenti.

I'm not sure if I ever got paid for getting the tournament winner right in the Serenti.

I wasn't around during the Serenti, so I'm not sure about that but I'll make sure that these ones get their due.

[Dana]

200 GP total for my bet;

Round One Winners; Group 1, Group 3, Group 5, and Group 8.

Stay active, Slayer. ; )

[Silence Sei]

Lets see what we can do here....

100 GP on Groups 1, 5, 6, and 8 to advance to Round 2 -400 GP total

50 GP on 3 dropouts in Round 1 (no, I will not be one of them)


On behalf of the IK bank I'd like to make the following wagers.

300 gp on group 1

100 gp on group 4

300 gp on group 5

100 gp on group 6

200 gp on group 8

[Mordelain]

Betting gold is a fool's game.

[Nasr Moghadam]

winners round 1: 1, 3, 5, 8; 50 gp

If we do not have an item of any true value, can I put up myself? A month of indentured servitude (say 3-5 threads) where I am at the beck and call of whoever is accepting the bets? Or, perhaps, someone will allow me to put that down in place of, say, 1000 gold and I have to work off (IC, via threads) to return all of that to whoever would place a gold bet on my behalf?

If you want to make a deal with someone to that effect (posts for GP) then that's between you and whomever.

Any takers?

[SirArtemis]

To be fair, he could just write a decent solo and use that GP in the wagers. He has time.

[Revenant]

True, but if Mr. Nasr Abdul-Aziz Moghadam wishes to trade his time directly for GP then that's his business.

[Nasr Moghadam]

I prefer to earn gold illegitimately through IC work, instead of having it rewarded for writing something that does not pertain to working for it. That's the reason, plus as a herbalist, poison-maker, cook, and warrior I'm sure there is plenty of things I can do for a wide array of people that almost anyone (probably not a non-human race) would be able to think up. =)

[Christoph]

600 GP on round 1 winners: 2, 3, 5, and 8.

400 GP on highest score: Group 3 (may as well bet on the home team)

500 GP on Christoph (that's me, :p ) to win the tournament. That's mostly to keep me motivated. Lol.

[Nasr Moghadam]

If it makes anyone feel better about the bet I'm asking for: I want to put what I can on group 1 to win the whole thing. Preferably would like to trade 500 gold towards a month or 5 IC threads (whichever is preferred), add a month and/or 5 threads for every 500 gold added up to 1500 gold.

[Letho]

I don't think you can bet on any specific group to win the whole thing because the groups are randomized each round.

[Nasr Moghadam]

Oh, so the winner is a specific person? I thought it was a group effort from beginning to end? The only other AC I saw I was part of for the first two rounds, but had to drop off the internet for 5 months after.... so I didn't get to finish.

[Revenant]

There will be a single winner for this one.

[Nasr Moghadam]

Ohhhh, well in that case my offer stands. Though, I'll put it down on one of the people that take up the offer, depending on who's up for the wager. Sorry I've turned your wager thread into a mess..

[Revenant]

No problems at all. Just let me know if you get anyone to fund you.

[Hysteria]

Gold bets of 100

Team making it through to the final:
1, 5, 8 and 4

Number of round 1 drop outs:
7

Highest Scoring Group:
8

First Dropout:
Slayer of the Rot :p

Final Winner:
Sei

[TheOnlyGhost]

Number of round 1 drop outs:
7



That's not very nice, that's the one I'm in.

:(

lol

[Silence Sei]

He meant there would be 7 drop outs, silly.

[TheOnlyGhost]

oic....

Although it will suck immensely if I get poor posters. I guess it's hard to place a bet because it depends on everyones' availability at the exact same time within the time frame. For example, even though my rping skills are immensely massive and flawless (immense sarcasm) my other teammates might or might not be bringing me down with them, simply because they hav'nt posted nearly enough.

EDIT:

So far that's true ... we have the least amounta posts atm. :( We shall see though.

[Revenant]

Post count doesn't mean as much as post quality. And I understand there's difficulty in trying to figure out who will advance because of the randomness involved with team design. That's why you win so much back if you guess the winner correctly at this juncture.

[Hysteria]

@the only ghost, I'm in team 7 too, Harbinger. I might be a bit pesamistic with so many drop outs, but we shall see!

Also, I am in the forerunning to get first drop out. 42 more hours and the moneh is mine :D

[Nasr Moghadam]

Ah, that's the way to look at it. Someone else's shame at not posting is another person's gain. Lol. Does it suck, yeah, but does it also mean that someone is going to gain something, for damn sure. :p

[Rayse Valentino]

Get it together group 1!!!!!!

[TheOnlyGhost]

Round 1 Winners (make four predictions and get 1x extra payback for each group guessed correctly)

a. Group 4 --- Talen Shadowwalker - Hysteria {Highest score solo in the group}
b. Group 6 --- Inwuhou - Inwuhou {Highest score solo in the group}
c. Group 5 --- Erissa Tarsul-Caedron - Sagequeen {Highest score solo in the group}
d. Group 3 --- Letho Ravenheart - Letho {Highest score solo in the group}

Highest Scoring Group --- Group 4

Lowest Scoring Group --- Group 7

Number of Round 1 Dropouts (This will payout x3 if you can guess correctly)

If you mean people, I'd say 8 (eight) people.

Tournament Winner: Hysteria

Round 1 Winners (make four predictions and get 1x extra payback for each group guessed correctly)

b. Group 6 --- Inwuhou - Inwuhou {Highest score solo in the group}
c. Group 5 --- Erissa Tarsul-Caedron - Sagequeen {Highest score solo in the group}
d. Group 3 --- Letho Ravenheart - Letho {Highest score solo in the group}

I can take the group wagers if you'd like, but individuals will not be scored so there won't be a highest solo score, just the group score.

[Christoph]

Okay, looks like I lost my 400 GP for the highest score bet (good job, group 6! I didn't give you guys enough credit). And I got two teams correct for round 1 winners (600 GP each).

[Rayse Valentino]

Damn you, Group 1!!!! My hopes and dreams, shattered.

[Revenant]

I'll be collecting everyone's wagers shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

[Christoph]

Can we place bets on Round 2 winners?

[Mordelain]

As long as it's on me and Ceidon, yes. Yes you can.

[TheOnlyGhost]

I'll be collecting everyone's wagers shortly.

Thank you for your patience.



Will you pm us when you get them? That way I'll know when I'll receive my 200 GP for sure for guessing right ^.^

[Revenant]

Rayse Valentino - Wins 200 GP

Nasr Moghadam - Wins 100 GP
Christoph - Wins 800 GP with 500 GP riding on Christoph to win it all

[Revenant]

Alright everyone, the Adventurer's Crown gambling hall is open for Round 2. The house is matching wagers at this time for the following:

Round 2 Winners (there will be two) - 1:1
Highest Scoring Group - 1:2
Lowest Scoring Group - 1:2
and ...

Tournament Winner - 1:5 at this point

Christoph - Christoph to win it! 500 GP at 1:10

All you need to do is wager GP or an item that you're willing to part with. If your wager is correct, you'll gain that much back (or a coupon for a bazaar equivalent in the case of an item), but if you lose you lose it all.

Best of luck everyone!

[Christoph]

400 GP for round 2 winners: Groups 6 and 7.
400 GP on Group 6 for highest score.

[Rayse Valentino]

This is gonna be tough. All bets are in 200 GP.

Round 2 Winners: Group 2 and Group 6.
Highest Scoring Group: Group 2.
Lowest Scoring Group: Group 3.

[TheOnlyGhost]

TheOnlyGhost - With a staggering amount of correct wagers, gets nothing as I noticed that no actual GP was bet.



I just told you it was 200 GP BEFORE your post Rev you silly man.

[SirArtemis]

I just told you it was 200 GP BEFORE your post Rev you silly man.

I believe you needed to have specified the value you were wagering at the time of your bet, not after you had already won. =p and it wasn't in your post

[TheOnlyGhost]

Ahhhh that sucks, I could have SWORN I posted it.

ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGgggggggggggggggggggggggggg. ...

Lol, oh well.

[Sagequeen]

What wagers can be made now that the second round is a few days in?

[Revenant]

Go ahead and make the wagers that you want. We're not half way through yet.

[Nasr Moghadam]

My profile says I have only 200 gold.... so I'm putting all of that on group 6 to win this round (as one of the two to bet on)

[Sagequeen]

OOooooooo. So once Round 3 begins, what wagers can be made???

[Rayse Valentino]

Why do the groups I keep betting on keep flopping? Next time I'm betting on the underdog.

[Christoph]

My group (6) didn't flop, lol.

[Mordelain]

That's a matter of perspective, Christoph :cool:.

[Christoph]

We finished. :p

[hoytti]

As did Sorish's But Tourneymant had a bad partner :( :mad:

[SirArtemis]

EDIT: Statement rescinded for multiple reasons, including rewording on the original poster's part.

[Silence Sei]

Rayse was making a general statement about several groups, Artie. hoytii made a comment about one person. One person who didn't even have truly proper net accsess and can't worek a ps3 screenkeyboard like I forced myself to. Please resist going after a mod who is doing her job in the future.

[Jasmine]

.

[Amber Eyes]

Thanks for sticking up for me guys but it isn't a big deal. People who read the thread can make their own decisions. I let the mods know when my computer crashed and Sei did his best to help me keep up when he had time at work but I couldn't. It happens and if Hoytti thinks having computer issues makes me a bad partner then so be it. I promise I won't be hurt by it :)

[hoytti]

I wasn't talking about style it was the actual time of posting. Three days in between posts is too long for a timed tournament. She also started out fine but then suddenly dropped and I had my hands tied. We couldn't really move forward much at all. If she knew that she wasn't going to be on much, at least send your partner a PM to let them know so they can move it along quickly, as well as post a full day after them.

[Silence Sei]

You were more than capable of moving your thread along as she was. But when all one has to go off of is 'invisible man chases group around with a candle holder', that doesn't provide your partner a lot of room for creativity.

[Vigil]

saying such things publicly can be very hurtful. I do not believe you intended for it to be hurtful, but adding the angry smiley at the end made the opinion come off as mean-spirited.

mean-spirited smiley's? Hahahaha! What the fuck? :):(:rolleyes::eek:;):o:p:mad::confused::cool:

[Enigmatic Immortal]

I'd really appreciate it if we'd all just drop this issue at this time, and refocus on the intent of this thread. Thanks!

[Revenant]

Here are the totals for Round 2 wagering:

Christoph - Loses 400 GP with 500 GP still riding on himself
Rayse Valentino - Loses 400 GP
Nasr Moghadam - Wins 400 GP

[Revenant]

[Letho]

Shit, can I bet on a tie between Sage and Chris? :P

Seriously, though. 500 on the following order: Sagequeen, Christoph, Zack Blaze, Iwnuhou.

[Rayse Valentino]

So that's still winning something if I get the 1st place person wrong but the 2nd place person right. Also, the way you make it sound, everyone is a winner!

Highest: Sagequeen
Lowest: Inwuhou
Order: Sagequeen, Christoph, Zack Blaze, Inwuhou
