ive done some calculations on this game and the mechanics
by 2014, there will be 900 participants
by 2017, this thread will represent 90% of the traffic to 2p2
by 2045, this thread will exceed wikipedia in total word count
by 2091, this thread will be larger than the rest of the internet combined, 70% of the world's population will be playing, and most of the initial participants will be dead. no one will have scored a single point.
i hadn't really thought about the geopolitical ramifications
given the fact that the last person alive on Earth is the likeliest winner of this game, the probability of this thread leading to global war will slowly climb to 100% as that is the optimal strategy
This is the game that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend, somebody started playing it not knowing what it was, and now they'll keep on playing forever just because this is the game that never ends....
