Overall it seems like people don’t really “regret” it - it was appreciated as an experiment - but also don’t really think we should do the next tournament this way. I was a bit vague beforehand about what counts as regretting, but I think 1/4 is about fair.

@Conflux I got scammed

If anything we should regret not making the rules clearer to everybody. As for me I don't feel bad about seeing people throwing or bribing, that was expected and part of the wider game

No, we'll be entertained by it rather than regretting it.

@Multicore I have changed my mind now that @IsaacKing threw in order to take my mana.

@Multicore Sorry!

What happens if we ban it partway through the tournament?

What happens if we think it's a bad idea for future tournaments, but we don't regret trying it out this once, since it gave us useful information?

@IsaacKing Good questions. For the first one, I would lean towards YES, since we regretted it enough to switch!

For the second one, probably a percentage, but the main question I’m considering is “Will we think this was a bad decision in retrospect?” So leaning towards NO.

Oh interesting. I was thinking about it more as "is this a good idea?", in which case I thought the second scenario should also resolve to YES.

@IsaacKing Yeah, maybe it should?

@Conflux Okay, lemme clarify. If it’s more that people liked having done it once but don’t want to do it in the future, that’s more toward NO. If people didn’t like having done it but just have very nuanced opinions about exploration/exploitation tradeoffs, that’s more toward YES. I maybe was answering your hypothetical as if it was the first thing, when you meant the second thing?

@Conflux I was thinking of the first. I generally don't "regret" doing things that turned out poorly, as long as I think the decision was correct in expectation given what I knew at the time.

@IsaacKing Alright. I think if it goes badly, it will probably go badly in the predictable way, so probably this market will end up as a proxy for whether not banning throwing makes the tournament less fun.
