Gamble 2023: Task 1. Identity. Results revealed.
 

So I've set up social groups for you as teams to join where you'll be able to discuss the game and the tasks.

Teams. Please work together and create a team name plus nicknames for each team member. Cherie will be the judge of the best identities. Also please state in this thread how much you want to gamble on winning this challenge.

Reminder.

Each team will start with £500 Tibbloons. There will be a series of tasks and challenges in which teams will compete and for each task the teams must wager some of their kitty on the outcome. Teams may gamble any amount between £1 and 50 Tibbloons on each task, winning that task will then result in whatever amount was gambled being doubled and returned to their kitty.

For example if a team gambles £50 and wins the first task then £100 will go back in the kitty. Therefore that team would then have a balance of £550 Tibbloons.

The other teams will lose half of the amount they chose to gamble from their kitty. So a losing team in task 1 who gambled £50 would lose half that amount from the kitty, leaving them with £475 Tibbloons to play with.

How many tasks will nyerere be?

8. And they are all quite easy Alf.

There's a list in the other thread.

I'm still at work. Will have a look after 5 pm.

I'll wait unti Vanessa is ready.

OK no problem. I've not set an official deadline for it.

God sake. This is going to be a nightmare for me. I'm so unsociable, swan you are going to have to pm me.

You can do it by pm if you prefer yes. Then when you're done, pm me please. Don't post your team name and nicknames in the thread.

Judging will be as follows.

Cherie will mark each team name and individual nicknames out of 5. I'll give her a list in no particular order so she won't know who's in which team. Then I'll do the maths and the team with the highest score wins the task.

Remember I need each team to post in here how much they are gambling on winning this task.

Good one thanks Kate

Can we go all in?

Edit: Just read that we can't. I would suggest a higher upper limit than 50, to allow for bigger swings.

OK. 100. I'll amend. I think that's enough?

Whatever you think is best as I was only offering a suggestion. I don't really know how it will all play out over the tasks, but have to give teams the opportunity to get back into it/lose it all.

I'm getting some food.
Can't think on an empty stomach :laugh:
I have a few ideas.

Yep, always open to suggestions. Ty.

So do you bet before we see yhe challenge?

Have I missed you posting the challenge oe haven't you posted it yet?

For the eyes of Slim and Annie, Alf has spoken in the group chat.

You bet after you've seen the challenge which is now posted yes. Then you can work on the task together.

Vanessa and Parmy, you may wish to pm your team mates. X

I did

The most important thing for you to do first is post how much you are going to gamble in here. You are betting on winning the task.

I want to bet 40 and Slim wants to bet the maximum we can bet. I'm a percentage man and Slim is gung-ho. We're waiting on Annie to make our final decision for us, she has the purse in her handbag.

We can compromise by doing exactly what I want :smug:

We both know that I am the dominant one in this relationship.
