Add a plaque to a random Gambler.  Repeat this until a Gambler has 3 Plaques.

My proposal for a quick finish.

against We’re close to an actual winner, I’m happy to see how this plays out.

Running a quick simulation of that with the current player roster, this has a 39.1% chance of giving the win to Pokes, a 39.1% chance of it going to me, an 8.5% chance of it going to Jumble, and everyone else is at 1.9%.

This is an old problem and I think reducing the remaining game to a single-die-roll simulation of itself is fine if we can do it fairly. But as someone who’s rolled a d20 before, I don’t much like the 5% chance of the game being won by (from a look at the gamestate, and with an eye to the fact that anyone can unidle to get in on this) a player who has not actually been playing the game.

against I’d take a 45/45/10 split on Pokes/Kevan/Jumble, though, which is the equivalent if discounting the 1.9 percenters.

against SK and yeah I’d be cool with that
