Friends, Romans, Countrymen... lend me your El's
OK, I've had an idea for a new game. We've all got a few El's kicking around which by themselves are not much use (ooohh, light radius!). However, cubed together we might be able to get somewhere. Each individual SPF member probably doesn't have enough El's to get anything decent... however, if we put our supply of El's together, we might make some progress!
Here's the game I propose:
Anyone who wants to enter sends me a mule/stash full of El's - no higher runes allowed. They also post a message in this thread saying:
1. How many El's they've contributed.
2. What rune they want out of it.
The way it works is... I cube all the runes together. If we get to the rune that you request, you get one, and I keep going.
SO: If you go for a lowish rune you're likely to get it, whereas if you go for a rune that's too high you'll probably end up with nothing - but it does all depend on how many El's we have contributed!
e.g. MrSPF and MsSPF contribute 5 El's each, no-one else enters. MrSPF asks for a Thul, and Ms SPF asks for a Tir.
I cube...
10 El -> 3 Eld, 1 El
3 Eld -> 1 Tir,
so MsSPF gets her Tir, MrSPF gets nothing, and we have an El left over. Not quite sure what to do with the remains, we'll think of something.
If 2 people go for the same rune, but I only produce one of them, then the one who contributed the most El's gets it, and the other person gets the next rune down (as they did guess correctly how far we would get).
Hope this is all straightforward. Could I have a rough idea of what sort of participation this might have, together with any suggestions as to what to do with the leftovers?
Thanks,
Jez
