Well since I am posing, I would like to request 500g to be placed in my account

could i have 1000g of credit?

CivGeneral
I applied the loss to your account first, which left a remaining balance of 50g due. This amount has already been posted with the FRA for payment.

I will add another 500g to your account per your request.

Thank you for opening an account with the casino. I look forward to seeing you around the facility from time to time. We have opened an account for you with your 1000g deposit which qualifies you for an additional 150g credit which can be used for anything within the casino grounds.

40J, I suffered a humiliating loss, defeat, whatever in 1505. I thought I was going to lose by a UN vote, but I never got a chance to vote. I didn't much like being stuck on an island. I like room to grow.

Me neither... The inept manservant that generated that starting position is long-since fired from the casino.... Hopefully, his replacement will learn from that lesson and make sure that the next game is more enjoyable for all.

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Sorry I've been gone(from here and chat) I've been busy plus I'm trying to get my chat client working again(damn thing keeps breaking..)

 

[Chieftess]

I've been playing it, and I must say... It's a nice island. I'm pretty much on my way to domination. (Then again, you're playing against the tournament moderator. :floppa: )

 

[GenMarshall]

I just started playing the GBC Challenge . I hope that I can mix my play time with both the GBC Challenge Game and the Tourny .

There has been some talk about the next version of Play The World and when it will be released. To add fuel to this fire, the casino has started accepting wagers on this topic.

And the wager is...

What Version Number will the next patch contain (current version is 1.14f, I believe...)?

All wagers will be accepted. Simply post the amount and your prediction for the patch number in this thread. The winner will receive the entire pot*. If more than one person selects the winning version number, then they will split the pot* evenly.

Wagers will close the day before the patch is released. For example, if the patch is released on a Friday, then no wagers will be accepted after 11:59 EST Thursday night.

<><><><><>

* total available pot = sum of all wagers less 10% house fee.

No offense intended to those citizens who favor the GMT time zone, but since Firaxis is a company whose headquarters are located in EST, I figured it would be better to use that time zone.

And just what is to stop me from wagering one gold piece, winning, and taking the entire pot of the saps who bet more? ;-) What benefit is there to betting more money?

 

[FortyJ]

Good point... I was originally thinking that the pot would be divided proportionately between the winners, meaning if you bet 1g on a certain number and somebody else bet 9g on the same number and that number was the winner, you'd get 10% of the pot and the other person would get 90%.

However, upon further reflection, I think I'd rather make it a set price per bet... and allow unlimited bets, so...

The wager is hereby changed as follows:

You may "purchase" a choice for 50g. Each choice can be used for a single number (ie. 1.14f). You can also purchase up to 10 choices. Winnings will still be distributed amongst the winners in the event of a tie.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

50g on 1.15! and another 50g on 1.18!

 

[Plexus]

50 g on 1.22
