ShipWrecked! Round 22 Results and Winner!
- Thread starter Spiderman
- Start date
This time I never received train's cards for this round.
Oversoul stopped the bidding at Round 3 (3 gems). The cards played at that point are:
Oversoul: Stop
Ransac: Pass
train: <no card>
turgy22: Strike
Once again, turgy22 was the only one to play a Strike, so he gets the Piece of Driftwood. One more 50 pointer and he wins!
Round 4:
Current Turn: turgy22 (0 income)
Player/Gems/Resources (color-points-income-value)
Oversoul: 15/none
Ransac: 12/Volleyball (purple-20-2-2)
train: 15/none
turgy22: 9/Jug of Water (red-50-0-5), Piece of Driftwood (purple-50-0-5)
Sold Resources: none
You're bidding on a Picture of your SO (purple, 10 points, 2 income, value 1).
PM your bid by Monday, 6/19 by 7:00 AM EST. If everyone gets their bid in earlier, I can post the round earlier.

Ransac stopped the bidding at Round 4 (2 gems). The cards played at that point are:
Oversoul: Stop
Ransac: Stop
train: Stop
turgy22: Pass
No one played a Strike card, so normally the person who played the Stop card would win. But three people played Stop cards, so whoever played the most Pass cards in the preceding rounds wins. So the cards played before Round 4 are:
Oversoul: Pass, Pass, Stop
Ransac: Pass, Pass, Strike
train: Pass, Strike, Stop
turgy22: Pass, Pass, Stop
So Oversoul, Ransac, and turgy22 all played two Passes before Round 4. Thus we have a "Bidlock" - those players pay 2 gems each as if they had won the resource, but need to re-bid on it. train's out of this one.
Round 4a:
Player/Gems/Resources (color-points-income-value)
Oversoul: 13/none
Ransac: 10/Volleyball (purple-20-2-2)
train: 15/none
turgy22: 7/Jug of Water (red-50-0-5), Piece of Driftwood (purple-50-0-5)

A reminder: You don't have to stop the Bidding even though you've played a second Stop. If no one stops the bidding by Round 6 and everyone plays a Pass, the card is thrown out. So be sure to say if and when you're Stop Bidding. If you just list your six cards, I'll assume you are NOT stop bidding and hope to get the card for free at Round 6. If you stop listing your cards after your second Stop, I'll assume you Stop Bidding at that point. But the only two times you should stop listing your cards is either after you've listed all or after you've played your second Stop.

Since turgy passed on round 4, doesn't that mean that only Oversoul and Ransac are doing the rebid?

either way I'm out of it...
As I understand it, no.
This is kinda like a strategy game. You play a Strike when you think someone is going to Stop the bidding and no one else will play a Strike (or if you do, you want to be the one who played the most Passes in the round before). You play a Stop (bidding) in hopes that no one plays a Strike that round and no one else plays a Stop (else you go to the finding out who played the most Passes in the preceding Rounds). If you don't want the card, you have to figure out how to play your cards so you don't end up with it AND so you didn't play the most Passes if there's a tie on the Stop bidding round.
So even though turgy22 played a Pass on that Stop bidding round, he got "caught up" in the tie-breaker when the other three players played Stops. And since he played two Passes in the preceding Rounds and tied Oversoul and Ransac when determining the tie-breaker, he needs to re-bid.
So I'm just waiting on your bid, turgy22... the others have theirs in.

Nothing Special
I'm pretty sure, looking at a previous game, that I should never have been in the running for the tiebreaker and my previous cards shouldn't have been revealed.
Refer to this thread where a similar situation happened, everyone played a stop except Gerode, who was immediately excluded from the tiebreaker.

I stand corrected. Thanks for searching all of those past threads/Game Rounds for me 
Okay, so it's only Oversoul and Ransac in the bidlock.
Ransac stopped the bidding in the first round and Oversoul played a Pass, so Ransac gets it for 5 gems!
