Yep, that's correct. I am using a broader definition of luck.Squigs44 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:26 pmBasically what it comes down to is that you are ascribing an incorrect guess to luck, and I am ascribing an incorrect guess to a players decision. You are saying that luck comes into play when there is incomplete information, and I am saying luck comes into play when the rules call for some sort of rng.
We both agree that a player cannot guarantee a win in certain situations because of incomplete information. We both agree that in a game theory situation, a player can have no greater success rate than a coin flip. We both agree (I think?) that game theory perfection does not exist in real life full press diplomacy.
Does that about sums things up?
Though I think that as skill mutually increases, play will generally approach game theory optimal play.
