This is the thread for the best 4 out of 7 match between mathgrant and Selden.
1. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board ceeeff
2. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board ceeeff
3. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board boxes
4. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board boxes
5. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board diagonals2
6. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board diagonals2
7. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), random board
-
Here's the opening move I propose. Would you like to continue playing as O, or swap and be X?
-
As tempting as it is to switch, I'm going to make a move and see how it plays out.

Didn't remove your piece from the stock, Grant! But I took care of that for you. |;)

Odd, I could have sworn I posted my move yesterday afternoon...

Unless I'm mistaken, there are now two moves left... but both require that last red piece.

Ah - I missed that option. Oh well - you win.
-
What's funny is that if you'd made the right second-to-last move, you would have tied me, and won by virtue of playing the last piece. I think my fourth move could have been better. ]:P
1. mathgrant wins 13-12.
2. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board ceeeff
3. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board boxes
4. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board boxes
5. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board diagonals2
6. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board diagonals2
7. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), random board
Begin!
-
If you say so. I don't see it.
-
Hmm.
-
Going to change things up a little from last game.
-
Oooh.
-
Bit of a defensive strategy. Not sure how it will do in the long run.

...?

???.

Punctuation.
-
It's going to be a close game!

Aaaand you win again. Big surprise, huh?
-
By my calculations, we are tied 15-15, and I win by virtue of last move.
Instead of an S, you should have played an I vertically in the upper-left corner. This would have prevented all further moves in that area and saved 1 more X, making the score 16-15 in your favor.
1. mathgrant wins 13-12.
2. mathgrant wins 15-15.
3. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board boxes
4. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board boxes
5. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board diagonals2
6. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board diagonals2
7. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), random board
Since you have stated that you will be gone for some time, I'll give you until my half-birthday, November 26, to start this game without getting a strike. After that, you'll have until November 30 to avoid elimination by default. I'll post in this thread on November 23 to remind you. ]:P
-
It's November 23. ]:)
-
Seems like a good way to start it off.
-
I'll go for it, and stick with O.
-
Okay by me. This is probably my best chance to not get skunked. |:P
-
*plunks down a piece*
-
I admit I hadn't considered that move. I hope I'm not doomed by it.
-
Posting.
-
Not doing too well this time around. Pity.
-
Pity is something that Television Without Pity lacks.

I concede. Why exactly am I still playing this?

At least I expected that move. I just didn't have a really good counter to it.

Can't say I'm entirely happy letting you have the initiative elsewhere, but if I'd waited on that you would have just blocked it.
-
You know you've designed a good game when even the people who are losing 0-3 are talking about initiative and other words ordinarily reserved for chess and other games that are actually old.
-
Thanks. I needed that rubbed in my face.
-
I'm a heartless opponent.
