Okay, then my entry and A1 for tie-breaker. You can use my direct image link if you want: http://i.imgur.com/vcgboMg.png

I wonder if Mayo is also going to force us to show that the tie-breakers can be completed with score at least 4? I don't want to ask because that might make the other teams check their own tie-breaker and then they might notice it's not possible and thus chance their tie-breaker to a better tie-breaker.

Edit: Oh, and since this a new page, here's my move list again, since Mayo REQUIRES that the moves also be typed in some fashion.

Start: J6
Move: SWWWN WNWNN ENWWN EEESS EENNE SSSWW SWNWN WWNWW NWSSS SESEE ESWWW WSESW SEENE SEEEE NNWWN NESES ESSEN NNWNW EE

I'm attempting to slightly manipulate Lucky. I PM'd him a little while ago "worried" he'd beat Gemini and asking him various questions (like what he think Scorpio would do in various voting situations that could happen this week). The purpose of this PM was to a small degree to make him think Gemini doesn't have a really good submission, but I doubt he fell for that. So the greater purpose was actually to just make him waste time. We all know Lucky spends a long time typing replies, and if he's typing replies then he's not working on the challenge at those moments.

Of course, I didn't give him any indication of what Gemini's score actually is, but when he said in his reply "Hard to tell. It's not like we know whether it is possible to get really large scores or not, since the keys and doors were randomized, so it is hard to tell what is a large score or not. I am certainly trying to get as many points as I can though, especially given that my neck is on the line." I then included in my reply to him "High scores (whatever "high" means) probably aren't possible because there are only 102 keys and you'd have to pass through 99 doors to get a "perfect" score of 100, so that would only leave 3 keys extra." which is of course a lie because you need 100 doors to get a perfect score of 100. I'm trying to make him think Gemini may accidentally submit something that doesn't end where it began, and that might make him feel less pressure right now to continue coming up with a good submission.

Oh, and since this a new page

I suppose I could've changed the default setting for everyone, but I guess that isn't a default I thought about changing, kind of like smileys per post.

Alright, I'm going to guess you wrote yours my listing all the spaces instead of all the directions taken.

Anyway, I tried several more squares to see if a max score of 4 or 5 is possible from any starting square, but I can't find any. I also tried once more to get a long path worth a bunch of points, but I couldn't get close to 81. I may still be able to try once more but then I'm likely giving up. Deadline is soon-ish anyway.

I just sent in the best thing my program ended up finding + a tiny tweak by hand to improve it http://puu.sh/cEWSQ/4d7fa62f47.png

it basically just shrivels up and dies when I ask for paths longer than length 40

So, we lost. ._.

But Scorpio would be foolish to bring Gemini down to 3 players instead of Taurus down to 4 after seeing how much Taurus crushed the competition.

If scorpio is really going to vote out "lucky" this time we could consider vote-splitting 3-3 just in case somehow we missed a special item and Lucky has and uses it. It seems unlikely, but if Scorpio is really with us for this vote then Baruch will only get 2 votes so a 3-3 vote ensures one of Dragon and FvP are gone.

Of course, the risk of that is that then it only takes one betrayer on Scorpio to (maybe) flip the vote. For example, Hapex could sign up to be a vote against FvP but decide to vote against Baruch instead. This would mean Baruch and Dragon tie for 3 votes and Cody breaks the tie and votes out Dragon. But if Lucky does have an item (I don't think he does), then he could use it on Dragon and then maybe Baruch would be eliminated.

...

Anyway, I doubt yoi guys are going to worry about all that, and I'm unsure on whether or not you should. All 6 votes against Dragon seems like an okay strategy too.

They'd have to have a secret item AND Hapex be an idiot for us to lose with the 3-3 split though.

Whereas with the all-6-on-dragon plan they only need the secret item; Hapex being an idiot or not is irrelevant.

i get the feeling that they don't really do secret items much at all

Baruch, I had a dream that all of Scorpio decided to vote you out.

Let's hope it's just a dream.

Dreamwalker: Machete not online. :/
Crimsonflashofjustice: makes sense
Dreamwalker: I had a dream that all of Scorpio decided to vote Baruch out, and I recognize that my dream has absolutely no impact on reality, regardless whether Baruch is voted out or safe.
Dreamwalker: (If you did vote for Baruch though, you can still switch it to Dragon. We only need 2 Scorpios to vote out Dragon for Cody to break the tie and have Dragon get eliminated.)
Crimsonflashofjustice: Scorp is voting Dragon
Dreamwalker: ok I guess you have no reason to lie right now, so I'll believe that
