Okay, fine. This alliance worked out and I was wrong. I'm glad you pursued it.

I for one never doubted our Scorpio brethren, and certainly wasn't influenced by Dream's paranoia and beginning to worry that they might be lying. Nope, not me >_>

I just realized if someone super-reads into my post in TES2 about the update being lame for non-players, they might realize that Gemini isn't sharing with me what they got. For Scorpio, this would make them trust you more because you're really devoted to the new forum with them. For Taurus, this would make them suspect a strong Gemini-Scorpio alliance and that might be bad (or not, idk).

Well, we haven't put anything about the challenge in the new forum yet either since sharing isn't that valuable when everyone has different grids

You weren't the one who contacted Machete about potentially dropping out, are you?

When I heard you were dragoning the challenge, I thought you meant you were taking all your orders from someone else (hopefully not Lucky), not that you were dropping out of the challenge.

Realistically, I think every player in the game should drop out of the challenge

Wow you got lucky, only 27 possible grids. I'll put them up on pastebin or something later.

(for comparison, I have 924)

So Baruch is best off using all his guesses this turn on the 27 grids, right? And if he doesn't fit the right grid into this turn, he can just complete it next turn?

Btw, who contacted Machete about mathematical difficulty and requested he add more questions? Sounds like someone is influencing the host (whether justly or unjustly).

I didn't recommend he add more questions, I just submitted a formal resignation from the challenge along with a list of all 924 possibilities and he decided to do it himself. I wasn't expecting it at all.

I don't think he should just randomly guess among the 27 now that there are new questions to narrow it down

But we aren't aiming to optimize Gemini's mean score. We're aiming to give Gemini the greatest chance of winning. What if numerous other people have grids as good as Baruch's and mighy be guessing now or next turn as a result?

I guess I won't say for sure that Baruch should guess now. I'm not sure now if that's the right move. But it should at least be proprly and mathematically considered before being dismissed.

Plus, aren't the colors still left? Or is 27 the combination of all possible solution grids?

Yeah, the colours are still left. 27 is just the possible number grids

I'm just about to sleep, might be a bit of a scramble the next morning if I try to direct you for number related clues since I still have some stuff to sort out

I'd suggest trying to work out the colours this round while I get my act together

maybe it depends on the creator's location.

My location was different for Ebony's forum than for the other 3 (Gemini, Chimera, Quake), but all 4 servers were w11. But it was still in the same country, so there's still a chance Choco is right.

Kirby, thanks for the program.

not saying you were being "wrong" or stupid

Choco/Kirby, just in case Scorpio would want to take me out now that we are close to the end of the challenge, don't post in the Scorpio topic what you are sending.

Personally I think lucky will Stay, so you two should too.

You guys would need Scorpio's support to survive anyway. It might help your case if they see you being honest and forthcoming there. Also, if it doesn't matter whether Scorpio or Gemini wins, then wouldn't it be better that Scorpio wins so that Gemini has more eligible players in the next Rebel Comp (regardless of whether or not Gemini loses someone this week)?

I've been in my phone for the past 72 hours where I don't have access to Scorpio's forum. Could someone go there and ask why they were ****ing idiots in this round and voted both reverse, instead of following the previous plan?
