Get ready to play a new version of the Giving Game, the Giving/Taking Game! The goal is to be the last person with points. At the start of the game, everyone who signed up has 20 points. Every hour, you may (but you can do none at all) subtract a maximum of 1 point from a single person for free (no cost to you). You do not gain points when you subtract them.However, if you would like to subtract more than 1 point every hour, then you must subtract 2 points from your balance for every extra point you subtract. You can also give points to other people’s balance. But, if you do give points to someone’s balance, you must take them out of your balance. Every time you post, include your current balance at the bottom of the post. When a person runs out of points, they are out. This will be a bit more interactive than the other Giving Games, because more strategy is required, you can’t get out by not posting, and you can subtract for free every hour instead of once a day. Unlike the original Giving Game, you do not have to post at least once a day. You could go on a 2 week wikiBreak and still be in the game. You’ll just be an easy target for others, though. The prize for the winner is 2000 wikiCash. Go ahead and start signing up if you’d like to play! Please ask any questions you have.
Here’s to subtract a single point every hour (assuming I have 20 points):
Here’s how to subtract points after I’ve done my hourly free one (assuming I have 20 points):
Here’s how to add a point to someone (assuming I have 20 points):
Question: How is each hour defined? Is it divided by when each hour starts real-time (like the difference between 12:00 GMT and 13:00 GMT), or do you have to wait until your last subtract says “One hour ago”?
You have to wait till your last post says “1 hour ago”.
