I'm putting too much thought in the first round. Will people vote honest? What has been the trends of the other polls? Why is that all the members who think more than necessary lose? -____-
Problem is that there is little to no strategy in the game, specially the first round. How can you use any form of strategy when there is not much for people to lose and members aren't online for the most part of the game? Since the game is just luck -at least the first round- then you are a slave of statistics. Since the majority of people are gonna get disqualified in the first round, then logically the odds of making it to the second round are extremely low. You and me have been victims of statistics lol -assuming statistics can even be used with such a small number of people-.

We need a larger survey size, then we can collect enough data to draw a graph and predict outcomes. I wonder what the standard deviation of our graph would be? xP I can't think of anyway since it's just yes or no vote but trends could be possible. I need to take Statistics again. xD

There is a strategy…I have played this game before and I won it using that strategy…I’ll use my strategy soon when it's my time to play the game.;)

Hey, don’t blame the questions. Blame the game!:D

LOL! You reminded me of all the stuff I studied in my Statistics class last year. :XD And well using Statistics has been very useful in some of the LG canon games...

To few people participate in this game for relevant statistical data to be possible. We would need a great number of games and at least several dozens of players in each of them (hundreds or thousands would provide even better data). Unfortunately statistics work in the long run and with a good number of samples only....

I voted "no" because I had already voted yes to almost all of my previous answers.... The truthfulness of my answer was purely coincidental.

Ah. So you wanted to give your answers a change…the irony is that if you would have voted “Yes”, like you did all those other times, you would have passed to the next round...

True…so maybe....your vote in a way gave the winners of this round their victory?

Mmmm…I do wonder what the results would have been if the other 3 players would have voted.

Same could be said about anyone else who voted though.....

I blame my loss entirely on them, I made all of my calculations based on everyone voting:rolleyes:

I've tried lying, I've tried telling the truth, and this round I tried flipping a coin. I just can't get out of the first round :darn.

Awww, poor predsfan. :(
Well…maybe next time you’ll pass to the second round. :)
-------------------------------
I’ll wait until 11 /12 AM for goldb to see the results, if he hasn’t seen them by that time, then I will go ahead and start the next round if everybody is okay with it.

Allow me to introduce myself once again. I am the Liar Game Secretariat, Destiny. If you are reading this, that must mean that you decided to participate in the "Liar Game", didn't you? Cancellation of this decision will not be accepted.

I am now going to explain the rules of this round of the "Liar Game". The rules are very simple.

1)Anybody can play, but you have to write a post indicating that you want to take part in the game.

2)Once there are enough people to play the game, the game will start.

3)All of the players will be faced with the same Yes or No question. One of the players will be the one making the question. It can be any kind of question, as long as it can be answered with a Yes or a No. You don’t have to answer the question in a truthful manner.

4)You can only vote Yes or No.

5) You can only vote once and once you have voted you can not change your vote.

6)Those people whose choices fall under the minority sides shall win and continue the next round. For example, 10 choose [Yes], 12 choose [No]. The 10 that choose [Yes] will remain in the game.

7)The results of the voting won’t be known until the voting time has expired and everybody has voted. Your choice won’t be known to others until the result time.

8 )Once the game starts, you will have 36 hrs to answer the question . If the player does not answer the question within 36hrs, the player will be disqualified. However, if all the players answer the question before the 36 hours are up, the secretariat will write a post in this thread informing the players about this and the poll/round will be closed/over.

9 )You can vote at any time during the voting time, but you do have to indicate once you have voted by writing “My vote is in”.

10)Another Yes or No question will be given again, and the minority sides will continue to stay in the game.

11)It will be repeated until there is only 1 person left and that person will be the winner of the Minority Rule game.

More rules:

One of the players will be designated as the Liar Game secretariat. The Liar Game secretariat will be in charge of tallying the votes. The Liar Game secretariat will make sure that the rules are followed and that there is no foul play going on, as well as enforcing penalties for violation of rules or foul play. As punishment for breaking the rules or foul play; the player:

-will be face automatic disqualification
-will not only have to use an avi chosen by the winner of the game, but also a sig too.

-The winner of the game gets to choose the losers’ avatars. The losers will have to have these for four days. No offensive avis are allowed!! The losers will have to accept the avis the winner chooses for them without complaining, even if they don’t like the avis or the characters.

-Once a player is out of the game, the player cannot have any contact with players that are still in the game; but only in regards to the game.

-Players are allowed to sign contracts among themselves. Only contracts pm to the Liar Game secretariat will be honored! The secretariat will not interfere in the way contracts are made; the secretariat only will make sure that the contracts are honored.
Now that the rules have been explained, let’s start the game. Here’s the first question:

"Do you read One Piece?"
Question was asked by ~Buggy*Fly~ sama


The question has been posted, please answer yes or no. Starting from today at 12:45 PM Eastern Time, you have 36 hrs to answer the question.
