please dont start talking down on someone (for what reasons whatever) ... but investigate this theory .. dont be like the people at Dokkum hacking away at Bonifatius ;)

rabbitoid: *shrug* the reasons are his ... it does raise some curiousity in me though .. although it wont change my bets until i am 'converted' ;)

EdTrice: please answer my question which i asked before .. what kind of distribution do you assume for the bets of all players 1 one round to be ?
a gaussian distribution ? appearently not a straight distribution ? ;)

what distribution do you assume for the bets of all players in 1 round ?

lol .. i will multiply by 2

even numbers are more likely to be guessed .. when i am making a new bet i simply let my mind pick a number .. which is often even ... and then add one .. so my mind thinks it will be bet less often .. although everyones mind works like this

Stevie: you first ??? lol

heh ... thats the number of the round ... not my bid ;)

but of course you can think its my bid

true ... in the future people wont resign .. or at least it would be very rare :)

the only fair way would be to redo the round when someone resigns in that round ...

everyone places their bets as normal, 1 player resigns, everyone has the same points again as at the start of that round, and can bet anew

this would increase the time though

ok :)

fencer : the smiley above the box in which you can type a message in the pond games when you make your bet ... it doesnt give the popup for me when i hover over it .. clicking on the ? does give me the normal screen though :)

fencer types too fast! :)

its the total number of games .. the ones which require you to move are now next to the 'main page' link (looking as if you are being invited)

when you are now invited you see (37/1/1)

(i just tested .. its fun :))

the part with the games waiting for you now has two extra boxes for pond games (one for waiting for you, and one for you waiting for the next round)

woohoo!!

*worship* all hail fencer */worship* :)

changnig the starting number can reduce the number of rounds ... when you use a low number (for example 100) of points to start with people will have to be very careful to have enough points left in the end .. and will start to bid much lower .. also with less points its more likely to have more than 1 player to have the minimum bet and so more than 1 player can easily fall in the pound per round

grenv: *nod* i agree with that .. the same like a normal time out on other game types .. the reason why thats not on 'pond' right now is because there are no weekend and vacation days allowed on there

is it possible to bet 0 points on purpose ? (even when you have some points remaining) .. no i wont test it! ;)

i hope you are filling the table automagically ;)

nice table badbishop! thanks! ... i bookmarked it .. i guess the url will be the same for next rounds as well ? :)

(it just took me some time to teach them to leap in phase and stick to their right place ;))



(weehee i little screen with emoticons stayed behind to chose from ... a new(er) toy to play with :))

hah! i beat you at being first fencer .. all the little froggies in the pond are making fun of you

*snap* i cant put another message when i edit my bet :)

nice!!! ... and graphs ??? thats what made me become a rook ... ;)

ah stats!!! like the average bet in previous rounds ? the max bet and the min bet ? and the max and min bet averaged over all rounds ? ;)
