I asked Mas for a couple hours in between the rounds. Since we don't even know who is mining next, it seems unfair to be able to just jump into the next round without a little bit of time for teams to re-group and strategize.

Nyx is clearly getting last. Curious if she'll challenge someone or just drop out.
I'll probably just start stealing $1 to get a portion of Nyx's losing each round.

I bet 1 point on the next round. I might change that, though. If we can get Rachael to not mine at all, we'll have someone on each team to block Nyx. She'll probably rage-quit. Then you guys and Cherry can mine all you want to gain points and Nyx can only come out even at best.

Nyx said she was going to mine all the minerals. That means she guarantees to get all the bombs. The rules say that you'll earn whatever you planned to steal in the event of 3 bombs. So if she keeps to her word, the best play is to bid 50.

If she's lying about it, though, then you lose 50 and her -100 isn't so impossible to get out of anymore.

She also can't mine all of the minerals (I guess she can mine all but one, though) unless she's the last person to mine, and Rachael won't even be on until 1am.

I think I figured out the play. Nyx mines everything, puts Lukas' score over mine. Lukas mines everything, over 2 rounds puts Nyx' score back up to 0. Nyx uses you guys to give her a slight advantage, probably over Pete who's at -10 right now, or David.
There are a couple thoughts I had...
1.) tell Lukas you're going for all the bombs, then mine the bare minimum before stopping. That should get he and Nyx back down.
2.) Actually do mine all the bombs, I'll agree to Lukas doing the same (and if he doesn't, I will). So both of you get 50 each round, while I tell everyone else in the game to do the same, so everyone keeps a lead over Nyx. Then I'll just lose.
I'm sick of Nyx and Lukas. There are enough people in the game to work with to get them out right now. So ideally Nyx would lose and she can go against whoever. Otherwise, I want to lose so I can challenge one of them (which means neither of them can win).

I think Nyx is gonna do as she stated. She's heading for the death match for sure. Strange that David bid 50 that round lol

My thought was that she was trying to get Lukas to win, herself to at least not lose, he'd give her a token of life. If everyone set off bombs, and she was in the know, she'd be able to dig herself out of the hole. David bidding 50 that round threw me off though... that wasn't expected at all.
What did you 2 bid? ie: should I stop mining or set off all the bombs?

Cool. I need to see what Lukas will do first, since he changed his mind 15 minutes later. Lolz. But I think you can guess my goal if at least one of your bid 1.

I think it's next round that we need to be careful. Just in case Nyx and Lukas attempt one last trick. all the players would be tempted to bid 50, thinking that Nyx will once again throw a tantrum...but what if she doesn't? What if she says to Lukas, I'm gonna stop the mining after bidding 1..... 5 players bid 50 and Lukas bids 1, meaning he now bags 250 points and wins the game. No matter how unlikely that is to happen, it's still possible and we should get all our angles covered

I asked Rachael to take a page from Nyx's playbook and mine everything. And wow! 2 bombs in 2 minerals, with like 40 minerals remaining. wtf? That was a shock.

Rachael has agreed to mine everything. If you trust her (I do), bet big.
