Quote from: Molybdenum on FunForumsSo... Here we go.
This game is based on players accumulating points. The first player who gets 1000 points wins.
Each player has 0 initial points. They get points by the Accumulator.
A player may post at any time unless he will double post can't double post. Addendum 4/4: No double playing either.

The accumulator works like this. The accumulator starts at 1. Each time a player posts, he may choose to double the amount in the accumulator, or take the entire accumulator and reset it to 1. The value taken from the accumulator is added to the score.

Keep track of everyone's score in your posts (and the accumulator)!
"It sounds like a waste of time, but it reduces "What's the score?" questions to zero and makes updating unnecessary."

Here is a sample game.

You can see how long strings of doubles can lead to huge profits, but a single person taking leaves everyone else with none. (And no, you can't redistribute points, that ruins the point)

Isn't this like bank or gamble?
Play me on chess.com! Scratch group!   √-1 2³ ∑ 3.14, and it was delicious!

Either your internet was too slow, or you're using the wrong theme, so you lost the game.
