Malfatron Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) But i will concede that most of the pure skill games are in the Survivor/Amazing Race forum games. Not the Big Brother forum game. I generally enjoy the WIFOM type games the most, or games with a mix of skill/chance. There are some pure skill games mixed in as well of course.

Wine in Front of Me Basically, its like trying to outthink what your opponent is going to do. I stole the below from a wiki, but its a good example In situations such as the Princess Bride scenario mentioned above, one often may try to use what he knows of his opponent to make a better choice. However, in some cases this leads to recursive reasoning: "But that's just what he wants me to think, so I'll do the opposite. But maybe that's what he wants me to think, so I'll not do the opposite. But maybe that's what he wants me to think..." A life example A large business is attempting to drive a smaller competitor out of the market. The smaller business must begin production on one of two products: The Smidge, which will bring in $1 million worth of income, or the Widget, which will bring in $2 million worth of income. If they select a different product than the large business, they will gain enough money to compete directly with the larger business. If they select the same product, they will be run out of business. What product should each company manufacture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Also, I still maintain the dice roll games have more skill than some are willing to admit. I really don’t want to get into it again, but the skill is in knowing that the dice rolls are built on an algorithm that is not perfect. You have to know and respond to the frequency with which Discord and/or [spam] roll. It’s why I’ve finished top 3-ish for all of the dice roll type games. You also have to know which builds typically last the longest in the monster/battle bots games. I will not be revealing my secrets there because I’m still in the game, but it very much is more skill/knowledge of how those algorithms work rather than all luck. Also, when you do all skill games, you’re opening yourself up to controversy. Because a rake is not a cleaning device. It’s a maintenance/lawn care device, but nobody in the world I’ve lived in says, “Well I’m out to clean the yard.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
