LOL I was gonna hit you KOH but the fact that you had turns unspent whereas every other bot I spied didn't was a red flag so I moved on.

Now that makes the game worth playing. Props to KoH for coming up with it, amazing that Yeti tumbled it and commiseratione to currydubs - but someone had to trigger the thing and you take it like a sportsman.

I was wondering if someone else would think to do that. I considered creating a country just to do it, but briefly.

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

Yeah- what's sad is that I read this post and I still attacked him (#97). I just assumed he was the bot that was TG. So, I know I'm next on the hit list. Good one KoH.

"The Bot that Hit Back" - great, we have the title for our film.

We have the title and the star, just need a theme tune now. Something by Music Machine perhaps?

Nah, we're going to let Nolan direct this so we're going with Hans Zimmer.

Good choices, Frybert.

It's starting to seem like a "G" rated film - originally I was thinking "X" but, hell, we can hide the blood and delete some expletives.

Gotta be a blockbuster!!

Found it...

((turnsleft/31.7)^2+1.05)

Though I'm not quite sure how to use it...

((turnsleft/31.7)^2+1.05)
((400/31.7)^2+1.05) = 160.271407318 (not really sure what this # represents)

I found this old post by Qzul,. but I still don't understand it.

Originally posted by Xinhuan:

8. Humanitarians change. Stops last minutes suicides, nice. But don't really get the formula ((turnsleft/31.7)^2+1.05). At 30 turns left, that gives 1.94562... At 15 turns left, that gives 1.2739. At 1 turn left, that gives 1.050995. What does this number mean? Does that mean, at 30 turns left, you can only attack someone that is within x1.94 to /1.94 of your NW? That is smaller than the GDI range, but you said there is a minimum range of GDI still in effect, so it doesn't work?

it's the range (say 12 in alliance) times that

so like

min(12,1.05+12*(turns/31.7)^2)

8 for tourney
4 for primary

not sure why it's 2 for the last column

1. What does the #s 0 - 30 represent.

Can you give me a hypothetical on how someone with 500 turns left and $200,000 networth would be calculated using this chart on EXPRESS?

Well 0-30 means the number of turns left in the set

so for example, with 10 turns left in express, the humanitarian range between you and your target must be 2.24. Meaning if you are 5m nw, ur opponent has to be in the range of 11.2m or 2.2m nw in order for you to hit him back.

So for your example,
with 500 turns left in a set, nothing is gonna change. Note that , "turns left in a set" not "turns yet to spend in a set"

Basically, this does not affect express much, since 30 turns left in express is only 1.5 hours.
