if im not mistaken, can't coffee only try and gobble california, or is it now 1 big state?

Fritz · 04-08-2003, 07:06 PM

Excuse me. What about the Colossal Squid?

Airhog · 04-08-2003, 07:51 PM

Is it possible to gobble a state gobbled by another state?

Oklahoma Gobbles Wisconsin 7 times

Counter Gobbles 3 times

Nevermind

Coffee Warlord · 04-08-2003, 08:07 PM

Yeah, I'm unclear on that. Does California now count as part of Arizona, or are they still seperate states for gobbling purposes.

Swaggs · 04-08-2003, 08:55 PM

West Virginia: 5 points to gobble Tennessee, 5 points to gobble Maryland

WSUCougar · 04-08-2003, 09:14 PM

A state is always a single entity, regardless of the other states it gobbles. The gobbled states are only listed for purposes of shared borders & points. Gobble a state and you get the whole shooting match.

Frtiz - I'm sorry, but the Colossal Squid was gobbled by a Gargantuan Piece of Kelp. R.I.P.

Blade6119 · 04-08-2003, 09:28 PM

Arizona
since 5x20%=100%, and he has 2 counters=10%...100%-10% equals 90, but with another 20 your back up to 100%(don't want)....
meaning ill throw:5 gobble california(oregon)
6 counter gobble

EDIT: Spelling

Coffee Warlord · 04-08-2003, 09:53 PM

In that case. Gobble away!

I am not sure I understand how Louisiana's Gobbles were calculated last time...

But anyway

La. gobbles Mississippi 5
La. gobbles Arkansas 5

Swaggs · 04-09-2003, 06:39 PM

Why are some of these states gobbling beyond 10 points?

tucker342 · 04-09-2003, 06:51 PM

If you gobble a state, you get a bonus of 1 point

This is what it said in the rules:
(6) Once a state has been successfully gobbled, it is out of the tournament. It will provide one point to the state which gobbled it, and will be considered that state’s territory in determining adjacent states.

He didn't put one up, but his post was at 10:59 PM for the end of the last round, and you posted at 11:22....i got screwed for the same thing first round

WSUCougar · 04-09-2003, 11:30 PM

Sorry, Masked, you did miss the deadline. But here’s an explanation of Louisiana’s Turn 3 gobble attempts:

vs. Texas, (6) x 20 = 120 gobbles; vs. Mississippi, (2) x 20 = 40 gobbles

Both TX and MS defaulted (no entry) to all counter-gobbles, so (10) x 5 = 50

So…120-50 = 70% vs. TX, and 40-50 = 0% vs. MS

WSUCougar · 04-09-2003, 11:31 PM

Turn 4 Gobble Attempts

Alaska gobbles Canada (70%).
Arizona gobbles CA (90%).
California gobbles AZ (100%).
North Carolina gobbles WV (100%) and GA (45%).
Oklahoma fails to indirectly gobble WI (35%).
West Virginia gobbles MD (50%), but fails to gobble TN (50%).
Wisconsin fails to gobble ND (70%).
Colossal Sea Barnacle, not being “formidable,” fails to gobble Colossal Squid

State Update
Alaska (+ Canada) = 11 points
Arizona* (OR) = 10 points
California (+ AZ) = 11 points
Connecticut (+ MA, NH, NY) = 13 points
Missouri (+ KS) = 11 points
North Carolina (+ VA, SC, WV, GA, AL, PA, OH, KY) = 18 points
Oklahoma (+ TX) = 11 points
West Virginia* (MD) = 10 points
Wisconsin (+IL, IA, MN) = 13 points

So I was totally confused. My last post missed the deadline, not the previous one.

No problem this time.
6 to gobble Mississippi

more to come, probably after the deadline

Swaggs · 04-10-2003, 08:05 AM

I'm confused, too.

WV had already been gobbled by Virginia. Why did it loose PA and OH when neither of those two states had been gobbled by anyone else?

WSUCougar · 04-10-2003, 11:05 AM

Under the "State Update" section, states are listed with their gobbled states in parentheses. This is only to indicate what their boundaries are - the state itself is just one big entity.

So in West Virginia's case, after Turn 3 it was listed as: West Virginia* (PA, OH, KY) = 12 points. This meant that though it's original territory was gone (it being marked with an asterisk), its new territory was comprised of PA/OH/KY.

During Turn 4, North Carolina successfully gobbled WV (the entity, not the original state territory), and thus PA/OH/KY.

Does that help any?

Coffee Warlord · 04-10-2003, 11:13 AM

Under that assumption, can't one participant come along at the end of the game and gobble up the state with the greatest amount of points and win without really participating much?

I assumed that since I took over PA as WV was being gobbled, that PA became the new territory of WV, while the original territory of WV became part of VA. Then, I expanded my territory to include OH and KY. Does that make sense?

That's a good point. I agree. But I was just playing by the rules given by WSU here:

It wouldn't really be possible, the state with all the territory would have so many more points than the other state...
