I’m on the app (chrislear, predictably), and I enjoy TS, but I have one infinite game going on (we just reset every time I lose - I mean every time it ends), and I’m so bad at ignoring the little icon on my phone that I don’t want to add more distraction, much as I’d enjoy it. Being an onlooker in this thread was the perfect level of additional involvement.
I have an account on playdek under this name as well. Having finally beaten the AI a couple of times in a row now, I feel qualified to lose against a human opponent.
I just noticed this exchange of Playdek names. I hope this experiment doesn’t put people off playing with me - I got lucky in this game, I don’t (can’t) sink this level of analysis into normal games, and I do lose sometimes! I’m in the process of losing 3 games at the same time against 3 different opponents right now…
You have become quite the legend. The main problem I experience with the app is that I can lose track easily if I have more than 3 games on (probably even with less); I have had big blunders considering I was playing as the USA when I was actually playing with the USSR, and vice versa (@Captbnut and @lalunaverde can testify to that). In a game with an expert, I know that is the beginning of the end.
But I would love to have a go against you, just for the experience of playing a different opponent. I’d like to say, I am still to beat a human being, so that may make me slightly more popular
Yeah, I don’t really like playing multiple games at once, but I entered a small tournament that required starting two games while I had one ongoing. Once I lose them all I’ll have some free focus to spare.
