Game streaming is honestly a terrible idea.  There'd be considerable lag between input and what's on screen, and I doubt anything beyond turn based would even be playable.

+1

Though my only experience of playing a streamed game was when my cousin let me play RE4 on the PS4 via SharePlay.

4,000 miles creates a great deal of lag when the information has to go from his system to my system and then back again. That experience lasted all of 10 minutes.

Sony also has PS Now, or whatever it’s called, a subscription service for streaming games from various past systems. Too many pennies when I know there are other ways of playing those games.

He doesn’t get killed.

He does do dirty things to the wife of a man he kills though.

I would suggest the third one.

I generally only watch people play games that a) I am interested in but not enough to buy.

b) I have already played and enjoyed significantly.

c) are competitive multiplayer games in which I have a passing interest.

But the solution is easy for some non-perishable good that's scarce and you need to hand them out in some order.  Hand them out on an oldest-first basis.

Interesting idea actually.

But how would you account for preferences?  For instance, what if there were white toilets and tan ones?  How do you decide who gets what color?  What happens if you have more variables, like single vs dual flush, round vs elongated bowl, etc.

I suppose if we live in a manufacturing utopia what you would hand out is not a good itself, but an order fulfillment slot?  That is "it's now your turn for a new X.  Please select the options you want and it will be delivered on <date>."

I could see that as a possibility actually.  It gets more interesting when it's not "durable goods" but something where the ordering timespan is much shorter than the production timespan, like food.  Maybe you'd have to just get the average consumer to better understand the concept of lead time?

There's also the question of how to deal with "warranty". Maybe if your product breaks between the normal ordering cycle time, you would get inserted into the queue early.

The other thought is - what about people who want things updated more often than the standard ordering cycle time?  Would you allow people to trade their slots?  Could you avoid abuse if you only allowed a one-for-one trade? I don't think you'd be able to "store" production slots.

Actually to expand on that - I wonder if you could improve things today (e.g., lessen the severity of business cycles) if we went more toward an order fulfillment culture instead of a retail "buy off the shelf" culture.  That way manufacturers wouldn't be guessing about their sales, they would just be fulfilling orders.

Anyway, this is getting rambling and I don't think it's really in the realm of politics so much as economic theorizing...

I wonder why we don’t already do this, it seems to me that order filling would be easier than what we have now

I think if we play with the same teams and while we can continue using the rules as Haspen has processed them so far, or we restart and he processes them the way it was set out in the OP.

Using two sets of rules in the same round for a game in which the rounds have had rule updates seems a bit silly.

It would be possible to reprocess the rounds as the OP lays out

That one’s up to Haspen ‘cause that’s an awful lot of work.

How did you approach the fight?
