201 is not a prime number so it is a monster.

A prime number is a monster until you accuse it and tell it that it’s a weapon. Only primes can be weapons.

I’m really excited by this really dumb idea.

You’ve have to flee a lot too. I mean if my dude encountered 1092 I could get it as low as 4 but then have to run.

62

It’s a pretty good idea.

63

I would play this. I bet I could get my “will it divide?” heuristics to grow above 12.

64

Me and my 12 college friends might unironically buy an empty mansion and turn it into a commune

65

Sounds like by-laws!

66

Sounds great. That mansion’s gotta be in the middle of nowhere, though. Also, take a look at compounds. They are better at being communes than mansions are.

67

I tried to do this when I was younger and was the one who was serious in it, the others backed out.

Salty Games Done Quick.

Salty Bet, but wagering space dollars on

  • Kill or save
  • Which team going to win race X
  • Over/under estimate
  • Number of deaths in game Y

etc.

I’ve been thinking more about this. Some things I think saltybet did great:

  1. Short “turns” to keep interest high - the next match is starting in like a minute
  2. Even if you zero out, you always get bailed out salty bucks to get in the game

Both of those wouldn’t inherently be true for SaltGDQ.

Mitigating the above:

  1. Tough - sometimes the marathon is just slow. Also a player might have multiple wagers pending, and bets with a longer horizon (e.g. kill/save) won’t pay out for a week. If you go all in on Kill on Monday, you’re just twiddling your thumbs for 6 days
  2. But you could use a similar salt mines setup. Hit zero balance (even if you have other bets in play that might win) → get 5 salty bucks immediately. Probably only allow players to bet once per item then

Cons of this setup:

  1. Running it would require a lot of manual intervention. Creating bet opportunities, marking which side won, etc
  2. How to reward people that bet early, relative to latecomers with more information? Or don’t, and players just have to deal with it

Pros of this setup:

  1. Once people figured out the relative fighter strengths, saltybet got kind of predictable. Seems unlikely GDQ will have that problem
  2. As a consequence, Saltybet eventually got to the point where high rollers would collect basically the entire winning pool every match. Could reset everyone’s bankroll every GDQ to mitigate the small fry getting steamrolled constantly

Questions:

  1. Payout structure: use the same as saltybet (i.e. winners take money from losers based on % of the winning pool)? Use a sportsbook structure where the house has infinite money and everyone bets against odds determined by the house? Something else?
  2. Hide the current odds during betting like saltybet does? Or show them to bettors?

Learn from real sports betting. They have already solved a lot of these problems. Bored because the only thing you bet on is who wins/loses the game? Well, they solve that by letting you bet on all sorts of crazy long and short term shit. Bet on the next pitch. Bet on the result of the next at-bat. Bet on which team scores next. Bet on whether the next score will be a touchdown or a field goal, regardless of team. So on.

Would anyone actually play this?

Partial shit-talk conversion: I’m making it for my family to salty bet on March Madness.

73

No, I’m good, but I’m no master.

74

Well this isn’t ideal.

Anyone want something canceled? I can make another app.

Just had an idea for an app.

Everyone going to the bathroom, especially for number two, is taking out their phone. Usually we end up playing a short game like Neuroshima Hex, or just catching up on our doomscrolling. But what if we could use that time in a better way? I’m thinking something along the lines of chat roulette, but obviously without audio or video. You get connected to someone else who is also pooping for a quick text chat.

Sure, people could use the app when they aren’t in the restroom, and it’s basically impossible to do anything about that. But there is one set of protections I thought of to keep it at least somewhat honest. Your chat is time limited, so you can only talk to the person for a few minutes, then that’s it. Also, limit people to 1.5 chats per day. If you want to waste one of your limited chats when you’re not on the toilet, go for it.

Obviously there would be various reporting mechanisms in place. Any awful people would just be perma-banned. If you get a chat that’s awful and you have to report someone, you get that chat back, and another one on the house. Chats are text + emoji only, so we don’t have to worry about jpgs or anything. I don’t even think we allow URLs, which should avoid lots of spam/phishing problems.

Anyway, I already thought of a name for this app. I wonder if you can guess it.
