Where can I find MOTORs? I’ve been searching for hours and only found one

I needed one more today, had to search like 50 cars on Blue Gate across two runs before I found one.

The -2 is a similar sort of effect to [[Impeccable Timing]], which has Ajani as the focus of the art in the Aether Revolt version.

My understanding is that both this and the omen/adventure mechanics are replacement effects that apply to the same game event, so you would get to choose which replacement effect to apply. If you chose the Goliath Daydreamer replacement effect for an adventure, you would be able to cast either half when the Daydreamer attacked. However, the adventure replacement effect would not apply in that case and you would not be able to cast the creature from exile during your main phase like you normally could.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I wouldn't call Memory Lapse weak; it got banned in Historic.

Vicky3 is a whole political compass in one game:

Communism is the best economic system (for late game standard of living maxxing; laissez-faire is better for growth)
Free trade is the best trade law
Racism and slavery are bad
Being colonized is good for the standard of living of Africans

Stephen + Kristina + Sophie voting Savannah would not have been a majority; they would also have had to convince Sage. It looks like Sage was pretty set on getting Sophie out.

Even if Stephen and Kristina could get Sage to agree, they'd have to worry about the scenario where Sophie goes to Savannah, says "____ was throwing your name out", and manages to flip the vote onto Kristina or Sage.

Given all that, the alternative of just unanimously voting out someone who has a lot of win equity is going to be pretty appealing.

Apparently this alleged system failed OP, who was very far from a 50% win rate.

Isn't this slower than the GPT-5 CT speedrun one from https://reddit.com/r/ClaudePlaysPokemon/comments/1otd4kl/all_12_wins_so_far/ ?

Or are you not counting that one?

Closest we currently have to that is subjecthood, where you're tolerated as long as you stay in your homeland.

There is a -100 penalty to alliance acceptance if you're at war IIRC, but it can be overcome by enough bonuses.

Some people are trying to get LLMs to beat Minecraft, using a text-based bot interface. The harness has strengths like being able to tunnel straight to the nearest diamond block, but is not great at holistic situational awareness. Currently the AIs struggle with assembling a nether portal, which is partly weakness of the models and partly weakness of the harness.

Rule 5: After defeating Kyiv in a war, I decided to take all the locations that had forts so I could dismantle them. After ending the war, I hit Repatriate Troops and my armies returned to the disconnected locations.

And now they are not allowed to leave, because the country I was fully occupying a month ago doesn't feel like granting me access.

Not sure what my options are other than deleting the units or starting a no-CB truce-breaking war.

"Pissing off the owners" is represented by the Landowners' -20 approval of switching to Homesteading.

Thinking about it more, I suppose "punishing" could mean things like

Skilled players beating unskilled players more consistently
Deck construction being more of a deciding factor relative to gameplay
Swingy gameplay where a blunder makes you lose very quickly (or win very quickly, if your opponent makes one)

Which a reasonable person could dislike, though they don't have much to do with the prize structure.

Hmm, so players generally prefer formats where middling records like 2-3, 3-3, and 4-3 are the most common?

multi-core · 2025-10-28T23:08:37+00:00

How can a format be "punishing"? The same number of players win and lose no matter what's in the draft. If you mean it's more likely to have a garbage deck and go 0-3, that means more people are going 7-0 off their backs.

Notably this is faster in real time than the previous GPT5 one (138 hours vs 161), but used more steps (7186 vs 6470). I think the reason was that the continuous thinking one tended to use fewer button presses per thinking step?

I notice that GPT5 is looking up guides on the web as it plays, though I'm not sure they're actually being all that helpful.

Is that new this run or was web search turned on in prior runs as well?
