These took a bit of time to organize, so I'm not going to start these back up unless I know I have time (and a good idea for a game). If someone else wants to take this on, they can go ahead and I might enter in a submission of my own.

Shouldn't one of the Englands be an Italy? I assume no repeats.
Repeats are permissible

Whilst waiting for Squiggs to post the results of the latest Game Theory Game, I've been conducting some detailed, methodical and entirely made up research in to which country is favourite to win when diplomacy gets down to the business end and only two countries remain. My results are posted below:

Italy:
Beats: Turkey Germany Austria
Loses to: England france Russia

Turkey
Beats: Germany Austria Russia
Loses to: Italy England France

Germany
Beats: Autria Russia France
Loses to: Turkey Italy England

Austria
Beats: Russia England France
Loses to: Germany Turkey Italy

Russia
Beats: France England Italy
Loses to: Austria Germany Turkey

France
Beats: England Italy Turkey
Loses to: Russia Austria Germany

England
Beats: Italy Turkey Germany
Loses to: Russia Austria France

Your challenge is simply to select a country or countries that will represent you in SEVEN rounds of business end diplomacy. Your selections will be pitched against every other player who enters. If you select the same country as another player, you draw and score zero points. If your country beats your opponent's country you will score one point. If your country loses to your opponent's country you will score minus one point.

At the end of Round 1 all the players who selected the country that scored the fewest points will be eliminated. If two or more countries tie for last place, no country and players are eliminated.

Countries and players will continue to be eliminated until there is a winner. If two or more players survive after round seven, there will be a playoff - to be announced.

My selection is as follows: England, Russia, England, Germany, Austria, France, Turkey.

If I happen to draw with other players, then I will be awarded one extra point.

You must PM me ONCE with a list of SEVEN countries.

Entries close Midnight (GMT) on 30th Sept 2020.

Between the 1st October 2020 and 14th October 2020 you must also post you entry in this thread for it to be valid. The group can then work out who has won.

The results of my 'research' is not up for discussion.

Good luck...

Apologies for not posting more on this. Crazy weekend for me. I will be posting results some time in the next day or two probably. This week will be a 'bye week' if you will, and this Friday/Saturday I will post another game/riddle. If any of you have ideas for a game/riddle concept, feel free to PM me about it, that might save me some work.

What happens in the event that two of more players bid the same amount?
If two players tie on the highest bid, it is the next highest bid that wins.
If two players tie on the second highest bid, they split the pot.
3 players tie first?

4 players teie first?

Surely if 2 players tie first they have also tied second?

In the 20 max game if all but one use 20 and 1 uses 19 , the 19 would win?

I doubt entrants' strategies have been based with this assumption.
My strategy for this one involved a dart board, dice and a random number generator tbh

255-20=235

235<240
My understanding of the high roller game is that we can still bet 0. But if we bet above 0, it has to be above 20.
this is correct
Sorry. My mistake, misintepreted the rules

Btw at least 20 not above 20.
