Beefys' psychology game- Minority Rules (Easy)

[Beefy187]

So I was browsing the book shop and found something interesting. A book with lots of interesting psychology games in it. So I arranged those to make it more suited for online gaming. I hope you'll enjoy it.

The first game is very easy one. Its called Minority Rules.
When you want to decide what to do. You do a Majority Rule yes?
Well this one is little different. In this game, people in the majority will lose and people in the minority survives. Here is how this game is going to work.

- Each player will start off with 1 million dollars (Fake money obviously..)
- Host will randomly select a player who will decide the question of the day.
- The question must be answerable by Yes or No
- During the day, players may discuss the answers or tactics of this game.
- During the night, players will send me their answer via pm.
- Player may not change the vote once it is placed
- Host will announce the result, which players voted for which answer. Those player who voted for answer with fewer votes will advance to the next round. While the players who voted for the majority will forfeit their money.
- Last player standing will get all the money.
- Player with the most money wins.

And finally.
If you know where this game is from, please keep it secret
There is more to come and its much more fun if the players can come up with their own strategy.
If you have any question regarding the game ask me please

I'm looking for many players I can get in 72 hours. Join in and get rich (Well.. Feel rich)

I want to feel rich. :-p

I'll join!

[White_eyes:D]

This game is tricky but much like a mafia game in some senses....

I've forgot to add the rule "Once the vote is placed, you may not change it" so that is added now.

For those hesitating to join up, don't be frightened by illogical wall of text. The game is really simple, and if your lucky (or unlucky because you'll lose) you'll be out of the game in 24 hours, so it won't be too time consuming

More players I have, the better this game gets

[Pinman]

Ill join, why not.

Not exactly what I envisioned for my first game on the .org, but it could be interesting.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

In.

[Beskar]

In.


Is there a penalty for not making any votes?

[Yaropolk]

I'll play

[Iskander 3.1]

In. Vote: oh wait gotta vote by PM.

[Lord Winter]

In.

[Beskar]

Vote by PM? Ouch.

[Centurion1]

SO VERY IN

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'd like to make it clear that unlike the majority of you, I'm joining this game because I don't want to play.

[Beskar]

Being honest, I was very tempted to withdraw because I don't want to play. It is going to be evil.

It is like Rock, Paper, Scissors. There is very miminal strategy or tactics.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

seems like it will require minimal time. In.

[Beefy187]

In.

I knew I forgot something. Thank you Beskar
If a player forgets to vote, they will not advance to the next round.
If you know you are going to be absent, send in a vote before hand.

Yup, I thought its a nice and easy game to kick us off.
More evil, complex game which requires strategy will come later

[White_eyes:D]

Answering the question is like a huge WIFOM

Should be fun...

[A Very Super Market]

Alright, in. Sounds low effort.

How very wrong you are.

Phase 1

Players were summoned to the main hall where they met a masked man.

"Greeting players. I am the dealer of this game Beefy and I will be with you for all games hopefully. One million dollar is already dealt to all you players in the shape of expensive diamond on your name plate. At the end of the game, we will collect one million dollar from the each of you... That means. If you win this, you can have maximum of 12 million dollars. However, if you lose this... you will have to pay us back somehow... Never mind that. We'll think of the method later. For now let us enjoy the game!"

Players all shook in fear. Except a few of them looked confident.

"As I explained already, the first game we are going to play is Minority Rules. In this game, Majority dies and the Minority wins. I will distribute two sheets of paper, one saying 'yes' and one saying 'no'. In 24 hours you must cast one of those paper in the box in front of me. You are not allowed to put both sheets in. And if you cannot make up your mind in 24 hours, then you will not make it to the next round. "

"Now, first player to send in orders will get a bonus of asking a question in the next round. For the first round, I will take the honour

Question of the day is...I am an attractive male.

Send me a pm saying 'yes' or 'no'. If everyone sends their orders in early, I'll end the round short.

Feel free to talk

[Iskander 3.1]

Blarg! I am teh talkzorz!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Vote:Lord Winter

Got a guilty detective result??? I didn't think this was a mafia game beefy.

[Iskander 3.1]

Vote: Lord Winter gotta bandwagon before they start suspecting me...whoops, did I say that out loud?

[White_eyes:D]

This is not a Mafia game yet guys......besides, we need a Minority meaning 1 vote=win for voter

[Beefy187]

Unless i get all the votes in, in the next few hours, I wouldn't be able to do the write ups on time as I'm off to watch some movie.

But time limit is still the same. If I don't get all the orders in by next 8 hours, then I will have the eliminate those who failed to send.

[Beskar]

Everyone is going to vote Yes and No will win, I will probably even bet money on it.

My reasoning?

In everyones mind, everyone is going to say "Yes" for the joke, even if it is slightly homoerotic. So they would obviously switch to "No", in order to be in the minority. However, they will go "Ah ha! Everyone is going to think that, so I will vote Yes, as they would all go no!", so they vote for the "Yes". Since a minority wouldn't even think that far, they would just vote for "No" and as such, everyone will be voting for "Yes" and probably like Sasaki and White_Eyes:D would actually vote "No" and then:

White_Eyes:D: " you guys are predictiable, it is obvious you would try to go for the homoerotic answer thinking it is an minority!"
