Oh, and you were dubbed Gui since it's by far the simplest for us lazy peons and also your most used label

Gui was your name when you started posting on the forum and when you were most active on the forum. Therefore you are Gui, forever and always.

I played with you as Yuanshuai but hardly remembered you as you weren't so abrasive.

Thanks for the spellcheck Dick. Speaking to or tapping my cellphone doesn't allows spell things right. Maybe Fizzer can implement an edit function that only Dick can use so Dick can give the community the greatest gift: perfect orthography. We are all lost. Our nonsense is both ultimately meaningless and misspelled. To be only meaningless would be so much better.

OMA, I used to enjoy playing with and against you in tournaments and realtime. Now the only game worth playing with you is meaningless banter. Too bad you and Dick never talk to each other on the forum. That would be entertaining.

Dick, I like your authoritative half-truths. I checked my usernames. When I was called Gui even when I no longer used that name, I had been Yuanshuai three tikes and had been Gui only once or twice.

62% wow. Maybe I should have cheated =/

Predictably the ones I got wrong were:
the ones that dont use standard settings (so fuck those questions =P)

9. I assume it is E rather than D incase I was counterpicked in Africa? That is a cool idea but I would be happy to bet the outcome of the game that it isnt the case. I have never fallen prey to such a counter in all my thousand and something strat 1v1s I would much prefer to finish the bonus with my leftovers slightly closer to ant so they can help complete it. I would be interested to see the game that inspired this question. Who counterpicks like this?

10. The question is "how and where will you attack?" not "which of these letters describes your best options?" and I answered with how and where I would have attacked in a game. It was as good an answer as could have been given. In a game you get to pick one option. Noting another option is as good is a waste of time. I actually think A is the dominant strategy because it is more flexible. If your opponent moves into scand next turn you want to be able to finish SA and deploy to fight him (assumptions made by the question clearly could be wrong), not have a few armies patiently waiting in SA for the skirmish to be over so they can be used to complete CA.

12. No C&D are not equally good, assuming the enemy tried to take SA first either option is likely to be crushing because I will have a bonus and he wont. What if he isn't in SA? or doesnt take it first? Then completing antarctica first turn with highest likelihood is obviouly better.

I trust Sze will find my explanations of the failings of his (otherwise excellent) quiz accurate. I will award myself an honorary 100% and be on my way =D. I very much look forward to your next quiz.

P.S. what do you mean by 'net income'?

12. Read my response to John, obviously they are not "equally" good, but there is no objective way to find a dominant strategy between them... Precisely because the opponent might try to take SA and you'll have to counterattack.

10. Eh, next time I'll ask someone else to write it for me, since my wording might be off... I specifically said in the assumptions that you do not deploy in scandinavia and in the introduction I asked to find best answer... Maybe it was not necessary for me to try to "trick" people, but the point of this question was to a) raise awareness about preserving leftovers b) check if people can visualise more than one turn, and they will see that the follow-up in CA and SA is the same in both strategies, I think I won't use "trick" questions in the future.

9. SA and Antarctica for a completely safe pair of bonuses, so if you get both of them, you should suspect something fishy, definitely the biggest possible threat is north africa, since opponent leaving you SA and antarctica will very likely know you are there and, with that positioning, it gives him a lot of intel (he knows yuo'll start with SA). Because of that not taking Brasil should be considered a mistake.

Net income is the difference between armies killed and armies lost on specific attacks (7vs10 attack gives you 4-7=-3 net income for example)

About q9, Maybe not inspiration, but I have games like this in the back of my head when doing this.

You were also very prolific on the forum as Gui. I only remember reading that one "who are the best 10 (20?) players?" thread you created where you were called Yuanshuai. I'm part of the Kongregate/onemorelevel/etc. influx so I don't know about your forum presence from more than one and a half year ago. And I wouldn't have met the requirements for your games for a long time anyway. A lot of people that actually use the forums are like me.
Also, Gui is just easier to remember than Yuanshuai. Oh and if we count the Guillaumes as Guis then Gui is the name you carried the longest.

Hahaha, I love that he tried to ambush you, but you ambushed him, a turn earlier and so much more effectively. And I love his response...

I think you were right about question 9. I was being greedy. As for 12 there is a way to find a dominant strategy, its the one that is best if your opponent doesnt bother with SA (which isnt unreasonable. It is such a bad idea).

Who got the highest score?

Income is the wrong word. It means something very different. The quiz is interesting. It could be more useful if more questions were related to situations that happen in most games. Memorizing straight round attacks if you never play straight round (or don't even have a membership to create such games) doesn't seem to be part of basic mechanics. Knowing the exact probability of multiple simultaneous attacks isn't necessary to be a good player either. On such matters knowing your chances are not great is good enough. But maybe it is exciting for guys who like mathematical equations. Where else can one use math in ordinary daily life?
Altogether, I'd say only 7 of the 13 questions are worth knowing by heart.

I agree with piggy here. Its 4+4+3 equity vs 5+3+3 equity. 4+4+3 is superior unless you were a huge underdog entering the game.

also i think you lose .62 not .48

I got 77

I thought the two questions on deploying to take the three contradicted each other though.
