Open 175 - Picking Simplicity (Game Over)

yabbaguy · Post Post #25 (ISO) » Mon Oct 12, 2009 1:50 pm

I've seen other games go down due to bad gambits just through my readthroughs. They're just pointless and mean nothing, and everyone gets pissed later.

I'm not talking about your inhibited docclaim from our last endeavor, that's not a gambit. Don't worry.

Evidence?

Nikanor · Post Post #38 (ISO) » Tue Oct 13, 2009 6:49 am

My evidence is in my front pocket. Want to reach in there and grab it for me?
Also, you should revote. Try not to use the dice this time.

Cast a random vote, Blastinus. It'll help get discussion going.

You don't recognise Nikanor? I'm offended!
As a side note, your false reasoning for your random vote makes it look like early distancing.

Why? You are going to base a serious vote on a random vote reasoning?

What? Games here usually start with an random voting stage to get the game off the ground. If you don't like random votes, fine. Just don't expect that to be the normal opinion around this site.

Nikanor · Post Post #48 (ISO) » Tue Oct 13, 2009 9:26 am

Everyone here who doesn't have at least 10 posts is obv lurkinng. The last one here to score his 10th post will score a vote from Nikanor.

Ah but what really is the point of a random phase in the end? Working under the assumption that a random voting phase is the effective equivilant to just baselessly bandwagoning a player off the bat and then progressing from there giving reactions, we reach the conclusion of it doesnt matter, or at the very least is not as effective.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a random phase of voting will likely end up in either a wagon on a player for weak if any reasons, or a wagon for an odd vote move in a majority of games. Basically look for a slight tell and blow it out of porportion. Now, this is accomplished by a baseless wagon too, and I think it actually brings out more tells then random phases, which can usually be forgotten by "its random"

So why random votes? All we are doing either way is going through the motions untill someone does something stupid.
