I'm playing a goofy game of Discord baseball called Rookie League NumberBall, where the pitcher dms the GM a random number between 1-1000, and then the batter dms the GM a random number in the same range. The GM privately compares the two, and the closer the two numbers, the better the hit. It rolls over from 1000-1, so the biggest difference between the two numbers could be 500.
You'd think the best move would be to use a random number generator, but true randomness will only give random results. Turns out you need to play mindgames like that one northernlion clip in order to actually be good at the game.
First pitch of the game, pitcher throws 823, batter throws 127. Difference of 304. Not close enough for a hit. Out.
Second pitch, pitcher copies the previous batter, 127. Batter said 57. Good hit, only 70 away. Gets on 1st base.
Third, pitcher says 127 AGAIN. batter said 504. Differential of 377. Out.
Fourth pitch 127 AGAIN. Batter expected a mindgames switch up, swings with a 627. Absolute blunder. 500 Dif. 3 Outs. Runner on 1st stranded. Inning over. Die mad about it. Fuck you.
