except for combinatorics mafia
i will have to add more optimizations and put it in C :pensive_cat:

one time I was working with txt files as storage because my cloud hosting thing didnt allow hard storage or databases without paying money (evil) (also I was stupid at this time but thats unrelated) and the best most memory efficient way to select a random line from the file was in python and I had to port it over to go

This resonates with me on a personal level.

  1. it is rounding after all. what does 8.5 do however? uhhh lets say 8.5 does not matter and I do not care
#22757

8.5 goes to 8, I think.

one time i was working with .csv files as storage because i was dumb and didnā€™t realize i should just use jsons (this is in terminal of lies and now itā€™s painful to change so it will just be there)

#22759

so like what is combinatorics mafia if you ahve to optimise it and put it in C im intrigued

8.5 rounding up for closest is just as weird as rounding down. I dont think its very important

COMBINATORICS MAFIA!!! itā€™s the setup May is hosting soon

i would like to find a strategy that optimizes the worst case number of guesses*, and how many guesses this strategy requires

*Iā€™m imagining it as a singleplayer game where itā€™s just town guessing mafia, rather than two sides actually competing, as itā€™s way simpler that way

i love mafia theory
though i usually stick to setups without claiming because it makes the EV functions really easy to write

def jailEV(town, mafia):
  if mafia == 1:
    return 0
  if town <= mafia:
    return 1
  townLimChance = town / (town + mafia)
  mafiaLimChance = 1 - townLimChance
  return townLimChance * jailEV(town - 1, mafia) + mafiaLimChance * jailEV(town - 1, mafia - 1)

jailEV(8, 3)

nya nya nya :flushed:

specialising in semi opens was the worst mistake of my life. I only calcā€™d based off subalignments and not roles, but even then man it was evil. maybe my brain was just too small then
