Yet another face-off,

The last two guys I targeted challenged me. I have no doubt this did not change this round. If I get through this round, it'll be a damn miracle.

I hope someone targets TAC because he thinks this setup is for a video game!

TAC is so old he thinks Dungeons & Dragons is a video game

Podaar · « **Reply #3048 on:** May 15, 2020, 02:31:00 PM »

And I'm so old, I was probably playing Dungeons and Dragons about the time he was born.

Since we're dorking out, I must still have mixtapes I used to make 30 years ago with tunes to play during campaign key moments.

Gotta find one and post the track list

Podaar · « **Reply #3050 on:** May 15, 2020, 02:37:33 PM »

God, that would be great, Al! I'm sure if I looked around enough, I could find the self-authored campaign player's guide I typed up in 1980.

Coming off the D&D topic, whoever wins, I hope it's a result of a final mono-et-mono battle. I'd hate for the winner to come out of this round because they were not attacked. I mean, if it were up to me, I'd put an asterisk beside that victory.

That's not mathematically possible. Two people are in a head-to-head. One of them will beat the other. If the untargeted person targeted the loser, then the winner also survives and it goes to a final round. If they targeted the winner, then they have to defeat the winner in order to win the roulette. So whoever wins can only do by defeating someone.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #3060 on:** May 15, 2020, 04:53:25 PM »

But if the untargeted person targets the winner of the head-to-head matchup ... and wins, then he wins the roulette. For example.

RJ/Tim head to head. RJ wins this match; Tim eliminated
Rich targets RJ. Rich wins this match; RJ eliminated
Rich wins the roulette without being challenged in the final round.

Based on earlier rounds, even if a person WINS against their target, if they were also targeted and lost, they got eliminated.

TAC · « **Reply #3061 on:** May 15, 2020, 04:54:22 PM »

It is possible.

For example..
Let's say that Lonestar and I target Ariich, and Ariich targets Lonestar.

Let's say the song standings are:
TAC
Ariich
Lonestar

I win!!!

I get that, but in a 3-way match with one person untargeted, the only way that person can win the roulette is by sending the best song of the three. I.e. in your example, I could only win if I sent the best song, because I'd have to beat RJ who'd have beaten Tim. So that seems pretty reasonable to me.

That doesn't sound too reasonable to me.

So the double teamed guy either has to have the best song or the worst song.

Indiscipline · « **Reply #3076 on:** May 15, 2020, 06:56:38 PM »

Or the one in the middle. The unchallenged player is not eliminated if his song is worse than the double teamed's one.

My brain is bleeding

TAC · « **Reply #3077 on:** May 15, 2020, 06:59:11 PM »

So are you saying I'm unchallenged?

Indiscipline · « **Reply #3078 on:** May 15, 2020, 07:02:08 PM »

No, I'm not saying that, Mr Belichik

I'm saying:

A is double-teamed by B and C; either B or C is unchallenged; we have another round because:

A has the worst song, hence B and C survive
A has the best song, hence A and B or C survive
A has the middle song, hence the one who beats A and the one who doesn't but is unchallenged survive
