Endurance: Nintendo Style (SIGN-UPS)

-Sonic Ring (N/A)

Weeeeeeeeell... technically Sonic was in a couple games on the Nintendo Wii, even if he's not really a Nintendo character.

[KageLord]

So, out of a list of the twelve most memorable and quintessential Nintendo totems is one that was created by Sega, once Nintendo's greatest competitor? And does, in fact, belong to the veritable mascot of that same #1 competitor to Nintendo? And the best you can do to justify this is that he cameo'd a couple of times?
lol.

lol I'm not the one that put it up there. I'm just trying to give a reason why mallow would put it up there. Not saying I agree with it.

[KageLord]

Also @ CSL: A coin is kinda generic, and we already have two items from Mario Bros.
Maybe something from the Metroid series?

Screw Attack maybe?

[KageLord]

Also the Triforce image isn't showing up (at least for me).

[KageLord]

I'm with sakshijain.

Orange and blue now, huh? Fighting Illini!

Zang, if you read this, go put up some MB against chenhsi in Illuminati.

True. I think 24 is more reasonable, especially since this is a team game. 12 hours most probably means that it'll be just one person from the team making the decision.

[KageLord]

Was gonna wait for my partner, but I'm not gonna be home in time to respond to them anyway, so:

Team Color: Yellow
Bowser's Remaining HP: 25
Damage You Deal: 2
Bowser's New HP: 23

[KageLord]

Awwww... dana... why?

[KageLord]

KM?

And yeah, the whole thing about that game with this many groups is that the sure losers get to decide who wins.

[KageLord]

Yeah... you kind of cut the deadline in half there without notice...

I mean, I'm on one of the teams that submitted, but that seems really unfair to the others.

[KageLord]

The game's not loading properly for me, so... go sakshijain!

[KageLord]

Yellow Team wins Endurance Mission?

[KageLord]

*sigh* In the end, the L was mightier than the gun. Now we need to find the White Subtracter to get rid of this guy.

[KageLord]

the challenge, the infectious touch.

Sounds like a game from Liar Game... which would be awesome.

[KageLord]

Yellow Team

!

Not the best color to write in...

[KageLord]

What grudge do you have against us?
Sorry,

Yellow Team

, it's gotta be you.

And what grudge do you have against us? >>

[KageLord]

Wait, are we not actually eliminated from the competition?

Nah, that was just the challenge to see who gets to give the samadhi. There's still the normal endurance mission and then the temple mission (where one team gets eliminated from the entire game).

[KageLord]

Well...

[KageLord]

Hi people. Still working here.

[KageLord]

Ojama shimasu!

Good game, Green Team. I'll probably be joining you soon if any challenge ever requires more than one person since I'm down a partner.

[KageLord]

Uhhh... k. I'd be happy to find a new partner, if that's okay with the remaining players.

[KageLord]

Hm... good plan.

Btw, thanks for the opportunity to take out the Green Team with my own hands, BB. It felt great.

[KageLord]

Just to clarify, I'll replace onto KageLord's team.

[KageLord]

That was my fault, Lady. I was going to ask you about coordinating, but then got sidetracked. Sorry you got stuck with such a lame partner. >.>

[KageLord]

So... is yellow playing orange then?

[KageLord]

The pink super team apparently loses without 1 since pickemgenius edited his post.

KageLord: Serve

KageLord: Serve

i don't recall my post being anything game related.

I do. It was your serve post.

[KageLord]

Also, even if it wasn't game related (even though it 100% was), the rules just say that you can't edit a post. They don't say that post has to be game related.

But really, why do you care if you lose the challenge? Didn't you want to go up against Grey at Temple anyway?

[KageLord]

Retarded challenge is retarded.

Word.

[KageLord]

lol it's okay, if we lose and get sent to temple, we'll just have to own there.

[KageLord]

You could get a replacement partner. The only teams left are Orange (you) and Yellow (me and Lady).

[KageLord]

So... we don't really have a choice here. We put a piece on 3.

[KageLord]

More like obliviously. Boom roasted.

[KageLord]

*sits on the sideline with a pom-pom*

Goooooooo Lady! Ganbare!

[KageLord]

laaaaaaaaawl. Good game, I guess, Orange Team.

[KageLord]

Yikes. Getting vicious.

I mean, it was almost 100% luck, but... that's the way the cookie crumbles. >.>

[KageLord]

Actually, by the odds, I'm pretty sure LL was playing the right strategy. The only difference I would have done was going for all the low numbers. It shouldn't make any difference, but for some reason mallow got low numbers on the rolls consistently. It's very likely just a coincidence... but why not go for it?

She made max odds for us to win every time. Doing any less would just be giving greater odds for us to fall into a deeper hole.

[KageLord]

For sure. I would much rather take 86% odds on one roll than 71% and 13% respectively (or 57% and 29%). And, if it had been me submitting, we would have won that round and taken the lead. Not that I blame LL at all.

[KageLord]

Yes, but don't tell me you didn't notice at all that you would auto-lose if the RNG fucked you up. And if you won, you would have gotten ONE piece. How is that a good idea again? The risk vs. reward thing doesn't really work out there.

I see what you mean with risk vs. reward, since it does seem like we are getting such a small reward for risking losing, but you have to take into account odds. It's not so simple as how can we take the least risk and gain something. For example, putting just 1 piece each time would give us small risk and high reward (n-1 pieces every time), but based on a purely statistical basis, there would be a very good chance (much greater than 50%) of us just losing every single time.

It's hard to make an analogy because of the nature of this game, but... I would rather risk everything with pocket aces to get a small chip lead than risk most of it with a middle pair to get a slightly bigger chip lead.

[KageLord]

I would have made it slightly greater than 50% odds in my favor every time. But I guess we agree to disagree.

Same problem if we lose though. We could go greater than 50% for the first one (but if same result and we lose, which is now more likely than before), we would then have only 29% for the second.

But yeah... I guess it's a difference in playing styles. LL and I play less risky I suppose (in one sense... more risky in the other sense ).
