Do you realize that's the previous day's Daily Challenge scores getting registered?

I knew your score wouldn't hold up, though I expected a green square player to win today.


dogfloss and TH10 let 4-2 leads slip away in The Big Seven semi-finals.

Enjoy the donation.

Probably shouldn't have played the match now being too tired and trying to finish all the games in ~10 mins to be able to watch football. But whatevs.

The amount of matches I've been donating through mistakes in recent weeks has been a bit too high for my liking. Should probably take a break from playing to see if I could manage to care a bit more after that instead of auto-piloting too much.

mikeb is playing 2s like this ever since he started, so I was pretty sure he would be a top3 score for yesterday.
87% probability that more than 2×2 arrive in racks 5-8, putting you behind the field.
6.3% probability that 0-1 2s show up in rack 5-9


So I guess everybody with DC winrate less than 6.3% should start "pulling mikeb's".

Really annoying spot from today. Doesn't seem like any option is good. Didn't matter in the end, would've lost regardless.





Also introducing yet another Triplechain spreadsheet! Rack odds calculator. I've had it for a long time, but never made it even close to user-friendly that it would make sense to make it public, until now that is. It still isn't that great, but should at least be usable. Added two more possible rack conditions too to make it a bit better. It is still limited to just one rack, and not everything can be calculated directly, complex situations have to be done in parts, or through some other method. But it should get the job done in not-so-complex situations. Haven't really tested it properly since making the changes, so there is >>0 chance that something doesn't work as supposed to. If anyone uses this, and finds a bug, please let me know.

Let's see how it is used. Using the two bonus numbers thing from yesterday as an example case.



So this is how it looks. The grey and yellow are the only cells that need to be modified, grey ones have a dropdown list and just two options. The overlap one doesn't matter if only the 1st condition is used. In this case the other two should obv be "NO". I've typed in "at least one 1" and "at least one 2" as 1st conditions. So the odds of getting a rack with at least one 1 and one 2 are 32.79 %.



Here I've added the 2nd condition of having "at least two 2s". With this I have to change the 2nd condition to be in use by choosing "YES", and since I want the odds for a scenario where the rack has at least one 1 and one 2 or at least two 2s, the overlap needs to be changed to "OR". Otherwise it would give the odds for a rack with at least two 2s and at least one 1.



Here I've added a 3rd condition of "at least two 1s" to get the odds of a rack having at least two bonus numbers. The conditions can't be different, both use the same "AND/OR".

Let's see the other option for overlap in use.



Here I've tried to get the odds for a rack with no 3s, no 4s, at least one 6 and at most two 6s. Unfortunately the calculator doesn't understand this, there can only be one option for a number used in each condition. So there is an "ERROR!" text to notify that something doesn't work. The errors don't cover all situations, so some responsibility is on the user. Ok, so how to get this done then?



By using the "AND" option for overlap and moving one of the options of 6s to the 2nd condition. And there we go.

As you can see, there can be multiple options chosen in the same condition, as long as they don't interfere with each other in a way that is impossible.

4 to centre, 6 to left zone (top square), 2 to top zone (right square).

So you want to just dump 5s, and leave snaking 4s and 6s open? I thought about that. I really hate that spot though, I don't like any option there.

Pretty fun Advanced game:


Not THAT far from having just 1s/2s/6s.

oh wow dat bonus

Iirc that game actually had two more 2s. I had to change them to 5 (2->5) and 6 (re-roll any) though, think both of those may have been in last rack.

I wonder what the highest bonus ever played is. 26 is probably close. But I would guess 27, maybe even 28?

Almost got 27.



Obv. used re-roll rack on last rack, result:


That was actually played normally until rack 6, at which point I changed my strategy to "trying to get a high bonus".

What is the max bonus with a snaked chain? 31?

I have lost 13 rating points in the last 4 days, AMA

and I am so full of RAGE because of it.

Only 13? Lightweight.

I have a real need to break something right now

Be patient, it's gonna take you at least another day to break the 1400 barrier.

If I become blue again I'm gonna chuck my computer out of my window.

Tree Fiddy!

this was me btw.

Today I started the DC just a couple of minutes before deadline and before I ended I already saw who won that DC.

I wonder if it is possible to cheat like this and just start 1 minute before deadline, not place the last number of rack 1 and look up the board and play the rest in pseudo puzzle mode? Maybe even replay the winner and play actual puzzle mode?

would your score count though?

Well, today I finished my game after time and it seems to count.

I think it is about time for you to create an account!



That DC bug seems pretty bad. Zac should add a trigger, where a game that isn't finished before deadline scores 0. That should fix it.
