leafy wins her 73rd match of tic-tac-toe
assuming no bfdi contestants know that tic-tac-toe is solved and dont play strategically perfect every single time, leafy has some sort of low-level probability manipulation, as she will always lose her 73rd round.
what happens if the other player DOES know the strategy and intentionally tries to force a draw? i believe there are a few ways this could go.
1. definitions are changed to fit with the universe's narrative. either both players are counted as having lost, or the round is disqualified as a "true" game of tic tac toe entirely.
2. the game is prematurely (and likely tragically) ended before leafy can make her last move.
3. one or both players are psychically compelled to stop playing.
questions remain...
- at what point does a tic-tac-toe session end?
- if leafy was to play 146 times, would she lose again, or does it only count the first 73rd time?
- what happens if there is no possible scenario in which leafy could lose...?
golf ball is interested in what would happen, so she builds a robot hardcoded to throw the match by any means necessary, including wins by default. in this hypothetical scenario there is no possible way leafy could lose.
leafy and the RPSbot are placed in a dome with 10-meter thick walls consisting of concrete and reinforced steel.
since tic-tac-toe doesn't have a standardized ruleset, golf ball is allowed to set them. she decides it's the same as regular tic-tac-toe, but if you die or otherwise become incapacitated, you lose. it is assumed that golf ball is perfect and leafy cannot be harmed. this also assumes that leafy is unaware of the rule involving her, eager to play tic-tac-toe, and cannot stop until instructed.
leafy and the robot play until the 73rd match. then, the robot is remotely shut off by golf ball.
since leafy is perfectly safe. there is nothing that could possibly injure her, nor is there any rule or technicality that could make this considerably a loss. leafy has just won her 73rd tic-tac-toe match.
golf ball checks the aftermath.
okay this post went a little off the rails. i completely forgot the original point i was going to make
