Death Match #10

We have our 2 Death Match Players:

PETE and SAM

Tomcat has 23 garnets. Mets has 13 garnets.

We will begin the death match for garnets and advancing.

I will reveal the 10th Death Match.

The 10th Death Match is "Quattro".

I will explain the rules again.

A "Quattro" refers to when 4 cards all have different numbers and colors.

You will trade cards with 6 virtual players and the player with the higher-summed quattro will win the Death Match.

There will be red, blue, yellow and green cards numbered from "1" to "6" along with two "0" cards for a total of 26 cards.

These 26 cards will be shuffled randomly and FOUR cards will given to each elimination candidate.

If you are not happy with your cards, you may ask for a mulligan and exchange them for FOUR NEW cards.

You may mulligan up to TWO times and you may keep your cards if you do not wish to mulligan.

Once you have received your cards, the six virtual players will each receive THREE of the remaining cards.

When all the virtual players have received their cards, you will each show one of your cards. You must state the number and color of the card. E.g. "RED 6"

Once you have shown a card, you will start trading with the six virtual players.

You will take turns deciding to trade cards beginning with the starting player.

If you decide to trade a card, you may trade a card of your choosing with a virtual player.

The card you traded to the virtual player will then be revealed.

The virtual players will choose a card to trade according to the following rules:

• They will consider the cards that were already revealed and choose the best card that can complete a quattro.
  
• If they only have cards that cannot complete a quattro, they will choose a card with the highes number.
  
• If there are multiple cards with the highest number, they will choose a card in the order of RED, BLUE, YELLOW and GREEN.

However, if the virtual player has a "0" card, they will always choose the "0" card to trade.

The card traded by the virtual player will not be revealed.

Cards that were shown cannot be traded.

When both players wished to stop trading, they will each reveal their next card.

You may trade with the virtual players in any order but you must trade with all the six virtual players before showing all 4 of your cards.

If both players complete a quattro at the end, the player with the higher sum will win.

If the sums are equal, the player with the highest numbered card will win.

If one player did not complete a quattro, they will lose.

The "0" card will be accepted as a card with a different number and color from the other cards. Therefore, you can still complete a quattro if your other 3 cards are of different numbers and colours.

If both players fail to complete a quattro, the player with the highest sum will win.

If both players have the same score, the player with the highest numbered card will win.

Both players now need to decide on a common time to play the death match.

I am only free on Wed, 10 PM EST to 11 PM EST. I will be free on Thu morning from 6 AM EST to 10 AM EST if you guys want too. hehe.

For Thu night, I'm free from 8.30 PM EST to 10 AM EST. And anytime after 6 AM EST for Fridays.

Alternatively, it can not be done live and both players check the boards periodically and do it turn by turn.

Thu morning / night is fine. Friday is fine too.

Can't do Wed , sorry

Can do wed. Thursday/Friday I won't be available.

Then it got to be Sat or a sun then if you all want a live match.

i'm only free 630 pm est to 730 pm est and 830 pm est to 930 pm est on sun nite.

alternatively, we can do a non-live death match where each of you take turns doing it. you both just have to check the boards whenever you are free

which would you all prefer?

I don't have a preference but Sunday works for me.

sunday is no good for me

would you both be alrite then doing it as a non-live challenge then? you all will take turns and just need to check whenever you are free. if ok, we will do that. cos i'm trying to lengthen the game as we still have 2 more rounds to go.

That's fine with me Mas

Okay that's fine

I need Pete now to decide who will start first, since he has more garnets. Once he makes his decision, I will assign the cards in order of who to start first.

Sam can go first

ok, we will start the Death Match now then. Sam will receive her cards first then Pete. Sam will then decide if she wants to change her 4 cards and we will alternate until all are happy. Remember, you can exchange cards twice. Then, the remainder cards will be shuffled again and three cards given to the 6 virtual players.

Cards have been posted on the confessional. Sam, please post if you are exchanging your cards or not. Once Sam has posted and I'm not here, Pete can just post whether if he wants to exchange too.

Sorry. At work. I'm gonna ask a question in my confessional.

I'm gonna exchange thanks

I'll exchange too please

I meant that I would wait until they have their cards. * Thanks for the clarification

so just to clarify, is sam keeping her cards or do you want to exchange?

I'm keeping my cards.

ok, does pete still wants to change then?

lol , she says she wants to exchange them, then she's allowed to change her mind once I've posted that I want to exchange too ?

In my confessional you said that If I was to pass , then I couldn't say I want to exchange afterwards, so it should be the same for the other way round, no ?

forget it , I'll keep mine too, let's get this over and done with

she thought she could only exchange 1 card so i said no. so she said she didn't want to change if she had to change all 4 cards.

Lol can you relax? Had nothing to do with you, it had to do with something I discussed in my confessional. Take a breather.

can you read the rules ?
