WebMafia Olympics: Bonus Qualification Round

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

This DOES NOT make any SENSE.
Just HOW do you KNOW what the gambler would bet??????
They MIGHT have bet that THIS would be your posting frequency.

I am reasonably confident that the Gambler didn't bet that I had within 15 posts of 200 posts because that's absurd.
Simply put, there are a theoretically infinite number of possible postcounts for me to have. The most likely ones are 30-100, so I am going to avoid that range.
Which means I need to make at least 120 posts.

Why not make exactly 200 posts because of it being absurd then?

If you're asking if this turns into wifom, no, because I have an infinite number of options. It's like this:
Ghug, choose any positive number. Try to guess a number within 15 of the number I am thinking of.
See?
It's not a cycle of wifom because there are infinite options.
Of course, in practice, it doesn't quite work out this way, because writing, for example, a million posts is unlikely to happen.

Like posting at 120 posts is more risky than 200 based on what it sounds like you are saying

Well that's an entirely different point
but sure
anyways im trying to post a lot (>100 posts per day (NOT out of game day))
that seems like a decent strategy given the mech
agreed?

His preemptive self defense of a post.

"in 10 seconds" "Disclaimer"

So now instead of you interrogating me about my not-very-serious-or-thought-through readlist, you are going to interrogate me about why I do not want to be judged based on a readlist halfway into d1?

In fact...I did neither.

But your reading comprehension is interesting.

Hi this may be a really stupid question but if the gambler bets on themself how would that interact with the target?

The gambler is the target?
It's fairly obvious how this ends up working
for example, if the gambler bets on themself voting for someone, their vote won't work if they vote for that person, and it also won't work if they vote for someone else

[ghug]

There IS no N0...he undid that at game start!

Ok I found the may before game start thing. Where did he undo it?

My mistake; he only made it optional.

Oh fuck did Bunny townslip no

I think you're right about ##vote Haze

It's d1 though

This is why I don't associate with people who don't read the setup.

Not reading the setup is based and I hope everyone understands the sacrifices I am making for this community.

[ghug]

S as in on a tier list or s as in scum?

Small sample size

Fine, but you can't turn around and decide that my play also looks similar to my play as scum in another fashion if that's your call.

Your play looks similar to your play as you but I posit that that is who you is.

I will also ##vote haze because I feel that they have posted a lot and contributed nothing.

Have you read Chaqa's role PM?

[Jamiet99uk]

I say you chaps, balloons.

Where?

Haze with a Z is scummy for pontificating about the difference between gambling and betting instead of looking for scum.

Haze has at least declared one accurate read.

How many solid reads do you have?

Let the record show that 10 minutes later, Jamie is still on WebDip and is ghosting me.
