CC Trivia, anyone?

[CryWolf]

Yeah, i know it's kinda lame, but I came up with this question... I want to see if anyone can get my answer or possibly a better one than I have... So, here's the question:

How many cards can one player conceivably hold at the same time?

I believe I have the correct answer but if anyone can think of a way to get more than what I am thinking of I would like to know

Thanks

[Lhuth]

9? you have 4 then wipe out someone who had 5 and was waiting to cash in? can't think how you could get more than that

[Herakilla]

ya 9 is the most you can have at one time

EDIT: actually you can have a lot more but it aint going to happen willingly

[ParadiceCity9]

Ahh what was this...it was in the 20's i know..hmm

[poo-maker]

i think the answer is 29

[Herakilla]

you can have 8 people, one with 5 and 7 with 4. one of the 4s kills the 5 then has nine. but then another 4 kills that guy before they cash then they have 13 etc etc

[icedagger]

If it's freestyle.. 33?

[AndyDufresne]

Hm, imagine freestyle Battle Royales on large maps...

[ParadiceCity9]

i think the answer is 29

No I think that was before 8 player games. I think...

I'm pretty sure the theoretical maximum is 33 cards for an 8 player game...

7 players with 4 cards and 1 with 5.

player 1 takes out player 2 with 5 cards, but does not cash and lets time expire, ending with 9 cards.
player 3 takes out player 1, lets time expire with 13 cards (4+9)
player 4 takes out player 3, 17 cards (4+13)
player 5 kills player 4, 21 cards
player 6 kills player 5, 25 cards
player 7 kills player 6, 29 cards
player 8 kills player 7, ends game with 33 cards

therefore, the most someone could actually cash in one turn would be 29

There was a game just to show it could be done

That was before 7 and 8 player games though.

If it's freestyle.. 33?

yeah, that's what I was thinking... was hoping someone had an answer greater but I guess it can't happen XD

[whitestazn88]

so... does this only happen when people like discuss the possibility of this happening before hand?

and is that even allowed?

lol,
he cahsed about 7 cashes, all mixed but one was blue, and he still lost

[banana_hammocks]

team game 2v2v2v2

player 1 has 5 cards
player 2 has 5 cards

player 3 has 4 cards
player 4 has 5 cards

player 5 has 4 cards
player 6 has 4 cards

player 7 has 4 cards
player 8 has 5 cards

now player 2 deadbeat

player 1 has 10 cards
player 3 has 4 cards
player 4 has 5 cards
player 5 has 4
player 6 has 4
player 7 has 4
player 8 has 5

player 3 takes out player 1
player 3 has 14 cards
player 4 deadbeats
player 3 has 19 cards
player 5 takes out player 3
player 6 takes out player 8

player 5 has 23
player 6 has 9
player 6 deadbeats

player 5 has 32 cards
player 8 takes out player 5: total 36 cards.

don't know whether this would work in terms of deadbeating order. But there may be a way similar to this.


8 player game
everyone has 4 except player 1 with 5
player 2 takes out player 1
player 3 takes out player 2
player 4 takes out player 3
player 5 takes out player 4
player 6 takes out player 5
player 7 takes out player 6
player 8 takes out player 7

total 33

[CryWolf]

your 2v2v2v2 solution is interesting but player 8 cannot take out player 5 if he already has 5 cards. So, I think 35.
