Btw, I hope that there are no holidays for this game. Otherwise it wouldn't make any sence...

You know of course that if this game has an enigmatic form, THEN the same game, with the exception of announcing any players play(how many points every player played) at the end of the turn, will create a totally different game that its enigmatic nature will be much higher and it will be based more on luck.
Now by knowing how much points every player has in any move, some mathematics can be applied to ensure in some cases "perfect play".

The "" at the perfect play have to be put, since there is no perfect play when randomness comes to play....This game is not a perfect-information-game, so there is no perfect play in general.

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:12:50

Chessmaster1000: I see. Of course, nobody knows other players' moves until the round is finished.

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:11:41

Well i don't mean that. I know that what you are saying will happen, i just mean until a move will end (for example move 4), noone can't see what other players play AT THIS move. Of course the validity of this is obvious, but i want to be sure.......

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:10:23

Hrqls: It will be displayed on the game page.

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:09:42

do you have to keep track of what everyone has left .. or is there a list of that as well ?

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:09:37

Luke: Yes.

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:08:39

Chessmaster2000: After a round is finished, everyone can see how many points each player used, who was kicked out etc. It would be no fun if you could see only your own score.

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:08:27

Luke Skywalker

if ALL players use the same amount will ALL drop out?

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:07:39

Crook

Hrqls (15:05): Yep.

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:07:08

can we place bets on how long certain people will stay in the game ? ;)

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:06:54

Of course noone will know what the player has played, right? He would just choose a number in each round........! I assume that no 7 days per move would happen as then the play will be slow, a 2 days per move is ideal for me. But it's your choice..........

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:06:18

Hrqls: Yes.

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:05:57

TonyH (14:54): I suppose if one read the rules, it should be clear enough, although the game is little bit abstract. :-)

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:05:49

when more than 1 player has the lowest amount .. will they all drop out ?
(i guess so :))

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:04:51

Oh, OK:-) I'm just translating everything with it's absolute meaning...........

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:04:01

furbster

this game sounds fun, even though i have no idea what it is lol... now i'm counting the days till it starts

7. Dicembre 2004, 15:03:05

Chessmaster1000: "Very unlikely" in this case means "no chance". Call it a programmer's joke :-D

No the rules are clear! I don't really know why you don't understand it...........??? I have just read it for the first time and i found it fun and easy to play...........

Just one comment. There is a rule that says: 4) If a player have no points left, he must make the next move with 0 points and it is very unlikely he will stay on the pondside.
How such a player stay in the game? I see the probability for that = 0. So (s)he would never stay in the game so what's the purpose of participating in the next move with 0 points?
Please explain where i am wrong......?

7. Dicembre 2004, 14:57:22

we need to know the minds of our fellow players .. will they gamble high or low ...

of course everyone could put in everything minus 2 in the first round .. so you could be the lonely winner if you put in everything minus 1 .. but thats a low chance :)

hmm change the bkr on every round gained instead of at the end of the complete game :)

Well, you've got 52 of us to sign up for a game no-one (except BB) knows anything about!! Do we need skill? Should we rename it Dark Dark?

7. Dicembre 2004, 14:49:30

Luke Skywalker

a vs b = 1:1/2:0 depending on who stayed longer in the game

7. Dicembre 2004, 14:46:07

eh .... i would ask fencer to make it up ;)

7. Dicembre 2004, 14:44:52

How would you calculate it? :-)

7. Dicembre 2004, 14:43:41

will there be a bkr for this ? ;)

7. Dicembre 2004, 14:41:30

blind date at that LOL

7. Dicembre 2004, 14:41:19

Bad Bishop (who asked me to add this game to BK) says that it will be absolutely clear for everyone after the first move :-)

1) Christmas Special! Everybody who pays for any kind of membership (or extends the current one) and makes it to the end of this year (2004), will automatically get one FREE month of the same membership as a Christmas present.
2) And for the doubtful ones, there is one temptation - BrainKing brings the first multiplayer game which is accessible for paying members only. The number of participants is unlimited and the name is Run round the Pond.

In the Interview with BIG BAD WOLF I noticed the discussion read like a book with the oldest on the top and I could read it down to the end at the bottom. Refreshing!

Thanks Paulo, but the guy made time out today and he is on vacation only tomorrow...

6. Dicembre 2004, 21:56:50

pauloaguia

Nuno: yes, paying members do have the option to set autovacation on which means that, when they timeout, the time will be extended for another day in exchange for a vacation day (if it's a rook, then they have 30 vacation days to use).

Fencer: Don't worry - Opera doesn't reload the pages when I use the back button ;)

6. Dicembre 2004, 20:53:49

Nuno Miguel

Hi! is there any special rule for paying members to never time out?
Thanks

Hi just did this a few days ago. Was a knight with about 10 months to go on that, and paid for a year of rook, and became a rook straight away.
