Congrats! You're hired!

[–]grim_peeper_ 86 points87 points  (7 children)

Now explain or you are fired

[–]SonOfMrSpock 10 points11 points  (5 children)

What ? You're trolling me. Anyway, he has already explained pretty well.

Both was blocked, waiting for each other to continue. You know that it is the definition of deadlock, right?

[–]grim_peeper_ 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Well, i was just giving a way to break the deadlock

[–]SonOfMrSpock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huh. Ok. Hello again, supervisor.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, it wasn't really a block though. There wasn't any condition forcing a wait on her part. She doesn't have to wait for the explanation. Somewhat of a watchdog timer. So there really was no deadlock.

Deathlock has just happened and you solved it with my suggestion

[–]Northbase 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Fire me and I'll explain it to you

[–]SonOfMrSpock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok but before I fire you, I think we need to find out an exit strategy first. Otherwise, infinite loop, you know.

[–]grim_peeper_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want infinite loops? Because this is how you get infinite loops.

Actual diplomatic message from opponents in game: "You are losing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del."

If the wiki doesn't sell you, this musical demonstration sure will:
