CORDIAL MINUET ENSEMBLE

Hey Cayce, email me when youre done playing Defiant. I'll take the original 100% challenge even though I'm somehow way below you in ELO .

I was planning on recording the audio/video of me explaining my strategy during this challenge. Then if you want, you can supply the audio of you playing while explaining your tactics and I'll edit together some commentary. I like this approach because it won't affect the strategy of the game as much as having us be in skype during the match. Plus it would give the viewer a take on everyone's perspective including some hindsight and commentary.

I always felt bad that I didn't do a good job of explaining my strategy to new players (in fact I made it seem like I preyed on new players, which was true, but new players could have avoided my preying completely by practicing 1 cent games-- which I never went out of my way to explain). So maybe this will be a chance to get new people into the game and hopefully revitalize the game as much as I can. It's worth noting that my strategy is not much different from Jere's, who has been very transparent about his play style from the beginning and of course has a guide posted on these forums.

Hey all!

I don't have time to edit/upload any videos but I'd be glad to play a few games over skype or whatever else...Anyone can feel free to set up games with me, just shoot me an email.

Actually let's do 12am midnight, sorry for the confusion. Maybe I'll show up at a few 12pm noon's as well.

The trailer is epic! Took me a minute to figure out that reverse effect. This game truly IS about human nature...Jason really understands the system he made here...and it's quite a unique system to say the least!

I think Jason's voice is beautiful but Troy Baker might be available to play Jason: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/goty-20 … 2300-9859/

YOU too may be one of the FEW and NOT EVEN KNOW IT.

One thing I noticed in the comments of the article is that everyone seems so sure that a bigger penalty for leaving will "fix the game". That or they suggest a bigger ante.

Maybe I abused the system by quitting games, but maybe the system itself is intentionally evil to serve as a commentary.

Yes, I think we both started feeling guilty and told him advice at the same time xD. He's really good now, although there might be some room for improvement from what I've seen.

When it comes to preying on unskilled players in this game, it's easy to see yourself become their demon...and I didn't enjoy that feeling!

I definitely stand by my decision, based on that info!

I'll send in my W9 in a few days!

Also, before I even played Judge, I would often lure people into a 5 dollar game after throwing a couple 1 dollar games. I used this tactic (and many others) to become #1 on the profit board before I even played Judge. This artificially lowers my elo but boosts my profitablity, which I did on purpose. This is the main reason that I think the elo system is wrong for the main game, but right for tournaments: it ignores the meta game of profit.

"pipe arbiter" "oats phantom" "meadow lubricant" "disaster pole" (which is what I call my pencil)
"essence buffoon" "beggar physician" "pep bungalow" "mind hound" "strawberry dummy" "moral rubble"  "flesh weapon" (which is what I call my other pencil)
"position grandmother" "body garden" "kiss anecdote" "sobriety management" (which is what medical marijuana is often for)
"outcome soil" "obediance university" "alcohol tree" "passion peacemaker" "horse proxy" "development refrigerator"
There's enough repeats  to make me think he's not using a complete dictionary, just a clever selection of the dictionary that tends to make interesting combinations.

I can't really show it publicly yet because of music licensing issues, but when I can show it, I'll be sure to dig this thread back up and post a demo xD.
