TFF-20: Battle for the Gold Round 5 Picks

Thank you, Crow! I find the confidence multipliers interesting. (I guessed wrong. It seemed to be 50/50 that a higher number could equal a lower value, but I see now that it seems to be literal.) I wonder how it would influence the behavior of a guesser if (1) confidence values weren't limited to single use, and if (2) a wrong guess, instead of yielding zero points, yielded negative points? Just hypotheticals....

You should ask @Trig about that. I'm just the grease monkey around here.

The single use limit of every lock widens the variables.
I'd imagine you could do a type of 3 tier system where your limited to 4 top locks, 4 mids and 4 lows.

The outcome would be a very different looking game though.

I don't hate that idea because it's crossed my mind a few times if you mean the confidence level of your lock turns into a negative then yeah that could work. Both above examples could be turned into an entirely new game.

Welcome btw.
