At the end of the game, when there was only one bullet left and Alydar knew where it was, I realized a fun fact I shared with Cyrus. It seems (fortunately for me) Alydar didn't realize that, but instead of shooting at four twice, it would have been better if he passed all the way the first round and then shot at five the second. Now, I lost 20 and he gained 20; otherwise I would have lost 62 (I would have passed all the way anyway) and he would have gained 0, shrinking the difference between us by 62 instead of 40. True, LGT would have gained money that way, but since I won by more in the game with Shagura it wouldn't have mattered to Alydar in any way. Also, I never actually intended to make you think my bullet is odd, Aly ... Instead, I wanted to make sure I don't give you any clues as to the parity of my bullet.

Yeah. I knew that I could have done that, but it would only work if you kept passing. And I was trying to see if you'd shoot. Realistically, there's no reason at all that you'd shoot, since there'd be no way for me to win the game from that point. The gap was... 100? ish? There were... 6 rounds maximum? The most I could do was the following, even assuming the bullet was in chamber 24. Pass Round 19, Shoot Turn 5 Round 20, Pass Round 21, Shoot Turn 5 Round 22, Shoot Turn 4 Round 23, Pass Round 24. The gap would close by 12+20+12+20+10+12 = 86. Basically, even in the BEST case scenario for me, as long as you didn't shoot, you would still win by that point. The most I could do is try to have you shoot at the bullet, and I wasn't sure that was going to happen. Basically, I took a gamble and lost. Which seems like much of what I did in your game. Next time I play, I'm going to actually use some strategy instead of whatever it was I did. Also, I realized partway through the game that my sense of time was really getting messed up due to the constant passing, and I was shooting so often simply BECAUSE I thought I had passed rounds MUCH more often than I actually had. If I had paid more attention and been more cautious, I'd have done better. But I didn't, so I didn't. Good game. ...and now you know why I'm a Dealer and not a Player.
