Who should CB hate! ''Temptation the game" Part 3! (in Contests)

Last time this game ran, it was in March 2008 so its that time again! :)

A very entertaining game thought up by Mythology, last edition over $1.3M was sent around in this contest! And "won" by Sefton!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Now read the rules carefully below, with enough participants we shall start this of on Sunday the 4th of October :)

The RULES! Read below!
-
1) The game is : pass temptation.

2) Once you have 'passed temptation' you will never have to face it again.

3) When it is your turn to be tested you will be sent an amount of money with the note "I trust you". You then have 2 options :
Road of disloyalty : "The person who sent me this is an idiot to think I wouldn't keep the money, I hope everyone sees how stupid they are". Then keep the money.
Road of loyalty : "I'd kind of like to keep the money, but its only a few $s cost to pass this on, and I dont want to make the person who sent me it and trusted me look stupid, I'll pass on the money". Then post on this thread you are taking the road of loyalty, then move to step (4).

4) Send the money you received PLUS another $5,000 to someone on the game you KNOW is ACTIVE and you TRUST. If they already passed temptation then you cannot send to them. Basically think to yourself 'who do i trust not to keep the money, who wont let me down?'. Once you have chosen attach the note "I trust you" and dont forget to send $5,000 more than you received and passed (You can send more than 5k based on how much you trust them, but you must send at least 5k). NOW - Post to the thread the transfer log of you sending it, well done. You have passed temptation, you have proven you friend right, lets hope you sent it to a decent person... Good luck.

5) Note if temptation is not passed within 48 hours of it being sent, it is assumed the road of disloyalty has been chosen, so make sure the person you're sending it to will be online with 48 hours and does not take too long over decisions.

Play on!

I will make the first transfer this Sunday, I'll do 25k to get it started. Everyone get pumped!!!

Sweet :) I wondered when someone revived this one :)

Make Shade the last person this gets passed to. I want to see if the temptation of a smaller debt is too great for him ;)

Ha this is neat.

Once it gets over 1m, send it to me. :)

Ohhh... me likey.

Sounds good to me! I enjoyed this last time too!

Oo, very interesting!

This still on? Or?

My weekend was a little more than.. umm... we'll go with hectic. But, alas we are starting. The pot is starting at 200k thanks to a donation by Dinh.

Bump for effect

TheHatchetman (not my NCB) 65.9.38.208 Admin{CB1}Slayer333 (Nimbus) $205000 -- I trust you homie! 5:36 PM EDT

I am Assuming that by "note" you mean CM because some people might not notice an extra 200k (later 1 million yea sure) but with rentals and items for sale in auctions a person could miss an extra 200k and be assumed to not pass it on.

Just a suggestion :-)

Reminder that this is still going.

*pokes Zenai*

Hey, pass it on, ya know ya wanna!

I'm presuming somebody has sent him a CM. He's got a bundle of cash on his char, he might not have noticed the difference...

Zenai (FuerGrissa ost Drauka)75.53.140.25QBnovice (Dagobah)$555000 -- I Trust You! 6:41 AM EDT

Don't send it to me on a friday or saturday, cause I won't be on, and I don't want the 48 hours to go up on me

I hope people won't trust me like the previous times they also did not trust me =)

Shade,

You're so honest it would not be fun giving the money to you :)

honest but 55mil in debt, remember LA last time? He sent that money to the guy he had a debt with.

That's about how much money I owe. I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it :) {cb2}Dinh (Coheed) 74.138.26.110 Tal Destra (Fantastic Four) $75000 -- youvebeentrusted ;) 12:06 PM EDT

You sent Tal 75k?

What just happened? I don't think Dinh read the rules...
So from my interpretation he took the money and sent Tal 75k that he owed him?

rofl, it isn't too late yet. Either he didn't read them right, or he did read them right =)

Haha. I think he kept what wasn't needed to pay off his debt. Nogo for you this year Shade.

Wow, that one didn't last too long. I figured it would break 1 mil.

I'm not going to lie, If It was sent to me I thought of keeping it. =S

I was going to keep it if I ended up with it. I plan on running a solo Archer. lol

So wait, he kept what he needed to pay off his debt, then sent on a mere 75k to try and continue the game? What? I'm pretty sure thats not how this game is supposed to work...

whoops...transfer fail ;) Yeah i would have had to keep about 50+ million to "take what I needed" SG, anywho I sent the rest to Tal= {cb2}Dinh (Coheed) 74.138.26.110 Tal Destra (Fantastic Four) $520000 -- trusted again ;) 6:55 PM EDT

He still sent it to Tal...

Tal Destra (Fantastic Four) 32.144.55.112 Zenai (FuerGrissa ost Drauka) $600000 -- Youvebeentrusted 8:08 PM EDT

Tal Destra (Fantastic Four) 32.144.55.112 Zenai (FuerGrissa ost Drauka) $600000 -- Youvebeentrusted 8:08 PM EDT


It is ok to make mistakes when it is with a trustworthy person ;-P

"2) Once you have 'passed temptation' you will never have to face it again."

Tal: Zen's already 'passed temptation', you need to send it to someone else. Everyone else, make sure you read the rules.

Tal Destra (Fantastic Four) 32.144.55.112 Demigod (Demigod) $750000 -- youvebeentrusted 8:20 PM EDT

sent extra because of my mistake

If that were 2 mil, I SO would kept it.

Such a nice twist!

Bast is holding a FS/WTB for the game :)

QBBast (Dixie Cousins) to deifeln8 (Spirit Soaring) $1000000 -- I trust you! 10:06 PM EDT

So DoS is out 2 mil if he goes along with this, ouch. Technically, it's still on Bast's head, lol.

yeh bump

Paying 1.2M for the temptation of 1.0M.

Seems like the fiscal strategy of the US government.

lol Ranger

Lets make this a little more interesting. Always good to throw away cash I guess...

This was actually very tempting as it would give my ncb 3 days of bought ba. With that in mind I am sending it on to someone who might be even more tempted!

dudemus (just a jigoro)72.12.116.183Last Gasp (Jingleheimer Schmidt)$2605000 -- trust schmust! ; )4:53 PM EDT

Wow, reading the entire thread struck me with awe...


September 28 7:12 PM EDT...

mmm 2.6mil thats a lot of temptation

Agreed... Thats bringing my bow up to my Enc and being able to grow more...

Its killing me... right in my run 2 save up 4 a NCB. (L0st a key 0n my keyba0rd... can y0u guess which?) What 2 due! must must must must must add add add things things because spell check!

Last Gasp (Jingleheimer Schmidt) 67.183.235.93 Lochnivar (Anbhas) $2100000 3:06 AM EDT

;) Does that count as falling to temptation?

Looks like it to me!

I will take bids....
you can buy 2mil for a little as 500k...

Honestly, I think we should hate the people who trying to sell off Temptation. There aren't very many active players left. And three of those remaining have already stated that if you give it to them, they're keeping it.

so you failed in the temptation!

Which three?

What happened?

I'm going to say that LG has the rest of the two days to send over the rest of the money, or he failed temptation, AND gave someone else the opportunity to fail temptation XD.

Heh... LG failed at it... I just noticed that.

LG failed for little over 700k worth while Lochnivar wins 2 mil?

Last Gasp (Jingleheimer Schmidt) 24.17.246.65 Lochnivar (Anbhas) $600000 -- Dang... 11:42 AM EDT


Busted.

Thanks for skipping me, guys.

I'll reduce the 'hate' if he bribes me.

I have 24hrs total before being dubbed a selfish jerk do I not?

I am still assessing targets.... mabye the blacksmith dwarf?!?

Don't tempt TourneyPrizes or Mr. Chairman. I hear they're heartless, soulless, unfeeling machines. Oh wait...

And can you offer me proof of your existence Mitt? How can you, when neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is?

Eh... I'm a philosophy major, and I definitely disagree with that idea. Philosophy does most definitely explain what life is, depending on your beliefs. Example: existentialism. :P

so who won it? At present the ball is with Lochnivar

He's thinking of which Admin run NPC to give it to... Just give him time.

Jir, I'm pretty sure I can pass the Turing test if needed to.

"Who won?" Someone doesn't understand this game.

As a 'prize' can the person who submitted to temptation have some kind of flag attached so we know who to pelt with rotten eggs? ;)

"Note if temptation is not passed within 48 hours of it being sent, it is assumed the road of disloyalty has been chosen"

Loch still has another 26 hours to pass the money on. So, no one has lost yet.

actually just under 24 hours*, I forgot what time it was. ^

Lochnivar (Anbhas) 24.68.230.160 Godwolf (Blighted) $2800000 -- I trust you :-) 2:23 AM EDT


And you all thought I would keep it mwahahahah!

Cheeky Loch, keeping us in suspense for so long.

I may be keeping it and distributing it back out to the community. I figure someone has to do it eventually, and at least I trust myself to put it back out there :P

But who knows!? I may just send it on to someone else. I'll decide within 24 hours! Probably :P

.... but... but.... I trusted you :-(

Actually I was contemplating using it to help some CBers who have big debts, but I couldn't decide how to do it in a fair and impartial manner.

I think not.

Fel (Blighted) 24.30.76.244 QBGentlemanLoser (Rune Priest) $3000000 11:17 PM EDT


I trust him, but didn't want to put a comment in it :P Feel free to keep it for the NCB, GL!

I'd totally pass it on... to my ELB.

It's at 10$ worth of CBD, surely it can keep getting passed on upwards to atleast 7-8M

A fun contest I had awhile back for a sort of "Help Shade's Debt" thing was the Dagger toss... That was a lot of fun, 100k for every dagger sent to him over the course of 24 hours.

Just a thought ^^

Burton, there are not enough active players to get it that high.

Silva, it all depends on how much money people rise with.

QBGentlemanLoser (Rune Priest) 82.29.125.104 Nemerizt (Team Rocket) $3005000 -- I Trust You! 6:12 AM EDT

And on it goes!

Oh Jeez. I don't think I have enough money to cover the transfer costs and still have enough to buy ba lol.

Pfft, the xfer cost was 30K for me! ;)

I have a suggestion....

See if someone would agree to hold said money to avoid these large xfer fees every time it switches someone. Once the temptation is to much for someone the host would send the money to the person and only have one large xfer fee...instead of repeated large xfer fees a one time xfer fee would be implemented.

Gl just paid 30k to xfer money if this happened 5 more times the total would 150k which could be kept in the players hands/tourny fund/Some poor smuck/ or to increase the temptation. I am not great at math so this might not make any sense. For some reason I think it does.


You have just read another suggestion by AK

=) I'll hold the money! >)

Honestly, the "Temptation" of it is that the money is right there, in your hands, no questions asked.

Nemerizt (Team Rocket) 76.200.152.114 three4thsforsaken (testman) $3010000 -- I trust you ;) 9:05 PM EDT

Hehe, I managed to get rid of the temptation but 3/4ths might have a bit more trouble. Not with the temptation but in figuring out how to afford to get rid of it. I want to see how he overcomes this :)

three4thsforsaken (testman) 76.105.5.109 [P]Mitt (Mittar) $3015000 -- I trust you! 9:40 PM EDT

Thanks for the help guys. I'll pay you back out of principle.

its honestly reaching an amount now that it is kind of worth being hated over

Being hated over for 3mil? Psshhh

Thats alot of damage onto my ELB...

what is hatred worth?

actually, i think this becomes more about who doesn't want to shell out the darn transfer fees when they didn't ask to be involved at all!

hatred is worth proabably about a week of being able to buy ba, combined with fight rewards

that's about right!

I don't either. And here I was hoping to eventually get it for my ELB. lol

Don't point your hate fingers yet my friends.

lol, LR better give me a turn tho, I didnt even get to add my funds to it to make it really tempting :)

Given the current poll just what level of subterfuge are we looking to thwart here?

bunch o' muppets!

We have trust in your Shade. :O

I trust you to keep the money and split half of it with me.

No1 trusts me ^^

Same thing Rwar.

Silva, why would anyone send you the money when you have openly said you would keep it on several occasions. That would be kind of stupid, don't ya think?

Oh please, we all know someone is going to keep it. At least I'm open about it.

Someone isn't everyone. That's why you haven't received it, I was simply informing you...

I already knew I wasn't going to receive it. Did you honestly think I needed informing?

*stands behind someone and shouts 'send it to Myth!'*

Send it to Myth.

Well my work is done :P

You're selling out and you want people to just hand you CBD? Wow... That'll really get you hated.

Silva, Myth invented Temptation, and I believe he was just kidding anyway.

Wow.. Do not send it to me. I don't even want to think about it. >_>

Hmmm what time is it now, do I still have a day?

Shade Has FAILED Temptation!

*Insert Pointing and Gasping Here!*

O_O!

*Gasp*

50 mil in debt, duh? I still can't believe marlfox for sending it to shade.

Shade shade shade, how you disappoint me. Let me get this dagger out of Marl's back really quick.

Can we get a show of hands? Who wants to ban him? Maybe take away admin rights? At least a kick to the crotch?

BOOOO!! HiSSSSSSSSS! Bow to her if you want. Bow to her! Bow to the Queen of refuse. The Queen of Slime , Muck, Filth! The Queen of Puuuuutrescence! ( Hi Shade! I know you are not a queen... i just love that quote! ) (from the Princess Bride)

Was it really necessary to point out that the quote was from the Princess Bride? People who don't know that might just as well have 6 fingers on their hand!

I have six fingers on my hand!

>.>

Oh, sure, blame it all on me! Besides, the the poll shows that more people wanted Shade to keep it instead of passing it on.
He's just obeying the will of the people.

110 Votes: 52.7 For and 47.3 Against

I talked this over with a good friend of mine.

She suggested I would keep the amount of money to pay off my debt to GodWolf. Also I chose to keep it to prevent a player who would be inactive or a player who would be more lame than me from getting it.

Hate me if you want to, I don't care.

if you are going to lie at least make it believable...

"She said"?

this is the internet, there are no 'Shes'

/me glares at Shade

I believe I was just called lame...

/glare

You can always depend on Shade. Give him a bit and he'll decide this thread is too inflammatory and close it.

Loch: did I mention it was a friend online? I think not.
Silva: you're just jealous that you didn't get it before me.

"Loch: did I mention it was a friend online? I think not."

This implies that you have friends in real life. Caught you in a lie again! XD

Whooooo!

Heh, I'm glad he kept it.

i think payment 33 was you sending your mum over, stating that she was a pretty good dishwasher! ; )
