[FrozenHobo]

 

[Miller]

Frozenpopo, you get trolled to easily
But ye, online is fail though. The point of the tourney is to prove whos best, but then whats the point if its only for fun? Just challenge everyone else to a ditto instead of making it a tourney if you want it that way

 

[FrozenHobo]

i don't care. my sign up post explains my reasoning... i'm staying in though.

 

[Miller]

If you didn't care, then why would you say this.

what does being the best have to do with anything? why can't we just play because we want to? does everything have to be about who's the best?

I can't make any sense out of that hypocrisy =/

 

[momochuu]

And I use the Red Climber, so Nana is my lead too. Kawaii Bunny does too I think.

How in the world did you know that? o_o

 

[FrozenHobo]

because i don't care about competitions? i'm confused by your question. i said i don't care about being the best and then you post a quote that supports that. explain. \=P

OK!








T_T
you first.

 

[Miller]

you do realize that if he goes first, that if you'r using 1 bullet, he will have a 1/6 chance of living, while next turn you'll only have a 1/5 chance? Its best to go first

 

[FrozenHobo]

right now i'm more thinking why did i bother to reply.....

 

[Bnzaaa]

How in the world did you know that? o_o

I lurk AiB. But I'm too lazy to make an account. I was randomly looking for Kirby players one day.

I saw the colors on your Climbers and was like, "wow I use those color"

 

[FrozenHobo]

so how many people are we looking at for this thing?

 

[Ice Climbers P and N]

If anyone can't make it, I want to replace them.

 

[CDCP]

Umm, this is wrong. Your chances don't change, it is still 1/6.
Of course, I don't know the official rules to russian roulette, and if there is a bullet added, when switching, then it would be 2/6, or 1/3. Not 1/5.


Also, sign me up. :D

 

[pastaboy]

millar is right, we play all the time. example- u spin, probability of getting the bullet (1/6), the probability it isnt the bullet is (5/6) suggesting that he does not get the bullet the chamber it is moved. This lncreasing the probability of getting the bullet to 1/5 because there are less chambers to chose from.

MAO

Are you talking about Russian roulette with only two players? Assuming I know the rules of Russian roulette (which I might not, lol) and if you are talking about 2-player Russian roulette, then the odds of winning for each player is 0.5. To see this, note that if you number the chambers 1,2,3,4,5,6, where 1 is the the first chamber that is potentially unloaded, 2 is the 2nd, etc., then player 1 loses if the bullet is in chamber 1, 3, or 5, and player 2 loses if the bullet is in chamber 2, 4, or 6, and assuming that the chamber with the bullet is selected randomly, then there is a 50% chance that the bullet will be in chamber 1,3, or 5, and a 50% chance that the bullet will be in chamber 2, 4, or 6.

If you're playing with an odd number of chambers (let's say 2n+1) for some reason, though, it is better to be player two, cause there is an (n+1)/(2n+1) chance that the bullet will be in an odd numbered chamber and a n/(2n+1) chance that it'll be in an even chamber.

If you're playing with more than two people and the usual 6 chamber gun, it isn't necessarily best to go first. For example, if you're playing with 6 people and a bullet is inserted randomly into a chamber, then each player has a 1/6 chance of losing (player 1 loses if the bullet is in chamber 1, player 2 if it's in chamber 2, etc.) If you're playing with 5 people, it's actually worst to be player 1, cause player 1 will lose if the bullet is in chamber 1 or 6, while player 2 only loses if it's in #2, player 3 only loses if it's in #3, etc. Along similar trains of thought, it's better to be player 3 or 4 than 1 or 2 when playing with 4 people, and everybody's equally likely to lose if there are only 3 people. And if you're playing with more than 6 people, it's obviously best to be player 7 or above.

 

[Nintendogs]

LOL! Everybody's now going into a deep discussion about russian roulette in a Ice climber tourney thread. I just read a whole article about russian roulette on wikipedia, and I have PROOF that going second is best.

 

[FrozenHobo]

thanks. really helpful.









what was the point of this again?

 

[lain]

So... I see I'm in... though I didn't sign up... LOL

Whatever. I'll play.

The only reason I play IC's is for chaingrabs. What's wrong with that? You get a grab, you get a kill. I mean come on.

Obviously you are to play smart with desync blizzards and such, but then you catch them when they make a tiny spacing mistake, or you shield something, and it's raaaaape.

It's just fun stuff.

u forgot about single player

 

[CDCP]

Wait, i guess my mistake goes back to my misunderstanding of the rules.
I always thought that before every shot, the chamber was spun.

Yeah I know. I purposely signed you up (I know you didnt want to be lol), although I really dont want to hear about how you think this is stupid. I did say in the first post that if you post, youll be added to the tourney.

You have it right. Thats the main idea of how you play in most versions.

 

[lain]

It's always 1/6, you spin the chamber before you fire.

It's better to go second.

That's what I thought.
Now that we have that out of the way... :D

When is this thing starting?

 

[JustNoOne]

Once there is like 30 people, but since there is a lack of IC mainer joining...

I think it would likely start next month -.-

 

[CDCP]

Okay, cool.

By the way, I can record matches longer than three minutes, and upload them to youtube or something.
Idk if they would be fun to watch, lol, most likely horrible actually.
