Game: Deal or No Deal Tourney

I have heard from all the necessary participants for the sixth offer of round 3. Since at least one player has not accepted the offer we will continue with round 3.

The next case opened is:

Case 7, $400

This leaves the following values in play:

10
25
100

200000
The offer from the bank is now $34000.

Any player who has not accepted an offer for round 3 should send me a PM saying “Deal” or “No Deal” before 8:00 AM CDT on Monday, March 22. I would appreciate it if you would put “Round 3 offer 7” in the subject of your PM. Once I have received a valid PM from all the relevant players, we will proceed to the eighth phase of round 3.

There will be one case opened in each remaining phase of round 3.

Previous offers:
$19000
$19000
$21000
$25000
$31000
$27000

Round 3 has ended with everyone accepting a deal.

The first offer for $19000 was accepted by Mahaloth and Bootis.
The second offer for $19000 was accepted by Taber, notfrommensa, and MadTheSWine.
The third offer for $21000 was accepted by Larry Borgia.
The fourth offer for $25000 was accepted by Biotop.
The fifth offer for $31000 was not accepted.
The sixth offer for $27000 was not accepted.
The seventh offer for $34000 was accepted by Leaper ending the round.

If play had continued, the next case to be opened would have been case 11 containing $200000. The offer would have been $40. The next case opened would have been case 15 containing $10. The offer would have been $60. Case 1 contained $100 and the other remaining case contained $25.

So the standings after three rounds are:

  1. Larry Borgia $42500
  2. Biotop $37700
  3. Leaper $34010.01
  4. Bootis $31000.01
  5. Taber $22360
  6. Mahaloth $22010
  7. notfrommensa $19860
  8. MadTheSwine $19160

I will start Round 4 as soon as I can.

Beginning of round 4. After this round, the field will be reduced to the top 6 players (and ties). The values for this round are the same as for round 3.

The values have been randomly assigned to the cases and case 1 is set aside for the players.

The first 5 cases open are as follows:

Case 14, $1000; Case 19, 300000; Case 12, .01; Case 11, $500; Case 8, $1.

This leaves the following values in play:

The first offer from the bank is $19000.

Please send me a PM saying “Deal” or “No Deal” before 11:00 PM CDT on Monday, March 22. Once I have received a valid PM from all eight players, we will proceed to the second phase of round 3. I would appreciate it if in the title of your PM you would put “Round 4 offer 1”.

I will be accompanying my son’s fifth grade class to Washington, D.C. beginning Tuesday evening and returning on Saturday. I do not know how much internet access I will have while I am gone. I would like to players to try to check in regularly to see if the game has continued, but if it has not, please know that it will continue eventually.

taking note that the first offer of Round 3 is identical to 1st offer of round 4.

Round 3.1 dollar amount eliminated: $310,756 ( Case 5, $750; Case 4, $1; Case 20, $10000; Case 16, $300000; Case 9, $5 ).

Round 4.1 dollar amount eliminated: $301,501.01) ( Case 14, $1000; Case 19, 300000; Case 12, .01; Case 11, $500; Case 8, $1 ).

I would have thought a ~10K difference would have made a little difference in the bank offer.

The first phase of round 4 has ended. MadTheSwine is being removed from the game due to lack of response. I have heard from all other respondents.

The next 4 cases opened are as follows:

Boy, I would be really mad if I was playing this game for real money.

Wow, that turned around quickly.

Note to self: Always take the first offer.

Man, this whole game, in every round so far, absolutely everything that has happened that was against the odds has resulted in lower offers.

Are we close to the next round? I took the deal already in this round.

I forgot to reply to offer #2 in this round, while MG was on his field trip. he assumed that I was out of the game. And then I posted to the thread, and he IMed me saying that I hadn’t responded. OOPS. I said No deal. Turns out, I wish he had defaulted me to that deal.
