punkman: yeah but let's say death stays at %70 for
the rest of
the game. Someoney buying 1k ATC at year 950 gets
the same amount as
the guy
that bought on year 437. Shouldn't
the earlier guy win more?
mike_c: heh. improved help is also on
the list. i'm
thinking video
tutorials.
kakobrekla: making people
think. always a dubious idea.
mike_c: in any case, point is
that
there is a shifting balance
that rewards paying attention at multiple points
through
the game as opposed
to rewards just decreasing over
time.
mike_c: the best
time
to buy life is still
to be determined.
mike_c: so, for example in game 10,
the best
time
to buy death was frame 1
mike_c: the weighting is different from
time (and better imo).
punkman: mike_c, is
there a reason it doesn't have any sort of
time weight when buying shares?
mike_c: thanks. i am encouraged by early feedback. it will continue
to get better.
punkman: mike_c: great game btw, can't wait
to see how it works with more players
mike_c: a recognized one. it's currently a polling architecture. i want
to switch it
to sockets, which would speed it up.
mike_c: well
that's a problem!
punkman: slow
to start game, place bets
punkman: is it one minigame at a
time for everyone?
punkman: why's
the minigame so slow btw?
mike_c: heh.
that is more an excercise for
the interested player.
punkman: or maybe simulate with random bombs so it's different every
time
mike_c: punkman:
that is actually very doable. it's on
the list somewhere.
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Fuck it, I'm hung over. Anything
that needed
to be said has prolly been said already.
punkman: mike_c, also in wishlist, simulate further rounds assuming no more bombs go off, probably not very useful, but it'd be nice
to watch
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, btw looks like your friend
TF is back on IRC
mike_c: hm. i'll have
to
think
through mechanics/implementation of
that. seems like it would just make
the bomb pot hidden until all
the bets landed on
the last frame.
punkman: like let me bid 50 on
the last round before
the next bomb, without having
to wait for
the Next Bomb
timer go down
to 1 or 2

mike_c: got
that. not sure what you meant about bomb-in-advance bidding
punkman: the animation, I want
to watch it slowly
punkman: mike_c, I'd love another button
that lets me step frame by frame
BingoBoingo: Also mike_c How sure are you
that
the decimal odds on
the order/chaos minigame are... correct.
mike_c: problem with making it odds based on pool is
that it offers reducing incentive
to contribute. i fell on
the side of winner
take all being more interesting. i am not married
to it
though.
punkman: mike_c: about bomb sniping, you could let people bid in advance (maybe with some limit logic), so
they don't have
to watch until
the last minute
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Yeah. I'm noticing
the bomb mechanics seem vulnerable
to last minute sniping with a bid one unit higher. I dunno if
time weight or maybe making bomb
type a chance based on
the size of life or death pools might make
things more interesting
BingoBoingo: ;;later

benkay: now - for my favorite part of django archaeology: why is
this code

benkay: ah, kakobrekla you and she are both in
the house all day
then?
kakobrekla: i do, just 16 a day is way way
too much
xmj: there'll still be an overlap of 8 hours wake
time
benkay: what - do you not actually want
to spend any
time with her?

mp_on_a_boat: If
the answer
to

then
the
thing is useless."
mp_on_a_boat: "Every
time a new startup launches, or a new software project announces, ask one question: “Does
this new
thing improve
the black market?”
mp_on_a_boat: anyway, excellent point from justusranvier. at
this rate ima end up a negligible voice in
this space or some shit.
mp_on_a_boat: because make no mistake about it, what
the scum of
this world calls "black market" is actually
the free world.
mp_on_a_boat: Those of us who do not participate in
the underground economy are often unaware of its breadth: it grew
to include one half of
the world’s workers by 2009, and is projected
to include
two-thirds of workers by 2020. <<
this is important. i make it a point
to contribute whenever possible. my cards here for instance ? paid cash, no paper
trail, 20% discount for me and so another hundred bucks added
to
the free world.

mp_on_a_boat: justusranvier, i
think
that arrangement may suffer from statistical problems i don't readily grasp.
justusranvier: mp_on_a_boat:
There are always outliers. Imagine a hypothetical experiment where you start 100 companies with
the goal of capturing growning shares of shriking markets, and another 100 companies
that
try
to gain market share in growing markets, and at
the end see which group ends up better on average.
