1 has won!

I think he chose that name just for the alliterative effect - he had this planned all along, surely.

Current state of the game: finished.

Correction, it is an example of homophony.

And although the rules state it is 1's victory, we in the Super Cool Victory Fellowship consider a win for 1 a win for all.

So to sum up the glorious achievements of our Fellowship:

  • VICTORY! 1 has 307 points!
  • SPECIAL GOLD STAR! Unique to our Fellowship!
  • Coolness! The two coolest players in the whole game are members of our organization!

It's been an excellent game. Thanks to all the losers for participating.

Yes, it's true, thanks to the goings on in the point transfer forum I have either approximately or exactly 307 points and therefore am the winner.

Unjustly banned from Metafilter 4 lyfe, but still Mefino world champion.

You may ask, "1, how did you do it?"

well I will tell you:

superior gamesmanship.

anyhoozles, I couldn't have done it without the co-superior gamesmanship of my new bff and, let's be real for a second here, essentially co-winner Aaron A Aaronson, and also the inferior gamespersonship of all of you.

I kid, I kid. And, if it's not too late, I give six points to Jay for being such a good sport, and 1 point to AAA for being #1 in my heart.

But it's probably too late.

So I guess all that's left to say is,

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too.
And up in the nursery an ubsurd little bird
Is popping out to say cook-coo cook-coo, cook-coo
Regretfully they tell us cook-coo
But firmly they compell us cook-coo
To say goodbye cook-coo...
To you...

So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye
Marta
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu
Freidrich
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

So long farewell, au revior auf weidersehen
Liesl
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?
Captain
No

So long farewell, auf weidersehen goodnight
Kurt
I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye - goodbyyyyyyeeeee!

Brigitta
I'm glad... to go.... I cannot tell a lie
Louisa
I fleet, I float, I fleetly flee I fly...

Gretl
The sun... has gone... to bed and so must I...

So long...farewell...auf weidersehen goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye....
Goodbye....
Guests
Goodbye...

I just wish that could have been in bold, harvest gold Comic Sans. You no-fun jerks.

307 is within 51 or fewer points from the victory condition.

Um, no, sir, it is 7 more than the victory condition.

AAA & 1, while I hate to wreck your cavorting, I invoke on the question of whether or not 307 points is "within 51" points of the victory condition of 300 and thus if 1 has one the game or not. gerryblog?

I think you need to start a seperate thread for that sir.

#
  • By Aaron A Aaronson at 07/10/2008 - 13:04
 
 

Yeah, it's within 51 points and therefore not valid.

"provided said point transfer would not leave the receiving player within 51 or fewer points from the victory condition"

Dudes, the points I have transferred bring 1 to seven points MORE THAN, ABOVE, GREATER THAN, BEYOND the victory condition. Open an invocation already, and stop whinging in here. :)

This is just ... stupid. I'm invoking.

Although I'll admit I had a "I transfer one billion points" comment entered a couple days ago before reading closer.

Greater doesn't mean anything because fewer is referring to the 51 not to the winning condition. Please learn to read.

I think I have it worked out correctly now, shelleycat. So 458 points is not "within 51 or fewer" of 300, right?
