Elevator game was really cool. I really enjoyed Sangmins subtle manipulations, but then the Revengers turning their back on him at the end after they helped him win was fun to watch. Sangmin really feels unstoppable, Yohwans "0 Garnet" strategy worked out well for him too.

If anyone wants to try out 12 janggi I knocked up an AI you can play against here. You can play as 2nd player by changing the player=0 in the url to player=1 and similarly raise or lower the difficulty. For various reasons the AI isn't that great but its an alright challenge at difficulty 7 or 8, past that I think it actually gets worse because I set a 30 second limit for it to generate moves so you aren't waiting minutes for it to evaluate a billion moves.

Bug report: After I captured two men, the second disappeared when I dropped the first (might also be related to having captured pieces too). I'm also not sure if the AI gives up when it determines it can't win; in one situation it didn't move after a minute of waiting. I'm not 100% sure it was a lost position. I had made a stab at building an AI that could solve it but never made a UI past console input. (Also the AI might sometimes be locking up so it never ended up solving it).

The AI seems to randomly give up a lot of the time for me (I've had more failed games than completed games now). Usually it comes up with a move within about 5 seconds, but sometimes it randomly does nothing even when leaving it for minutes (so significantly longer than the full 30 seconds calculation time). This even happens for the opening moves of the game, where it can't possibly be in a lost position. Not sure what's causing that.

Looks like I didn't actually upload the version with the 30 second limit oops. I think there's something weird going on with my hosting, its lovely shared hosting so its possible I'm coming up against some CPU limit. When I run it on my PC it never fails to generate a move, even if it knows its going to lose, but you're both right it does appear to be locking up on the live server. I think I'll have to rewrite the AI to make it more streamlined.

Max posted:At the very least, I think Sangmin would have known where Dongmin's bombs were in the first match, and may have played that game better than Kyunghoon did. I'm not sure who could have beaten Dongmin in the second game. Except for his stalling gambit, Kyunghoon played the worst possible game he could. I was cringing every time he moved. Dongmin understood the key to victory from the start: make your opponent lose pieces faster than you do. I think if he had the chance, Dongmin would have sent a piece to take on 3 pieces at once. He didn't have a chance at Mystery Sign, poor guy. Dongmin was just too good. Also, I discovered that I'm pretty bad at it. ViggyNash fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Sep 29, 2015 |

I have a whole new respect of 12 Janggi after trying to play it myself, it's really hard. I managed to hang the AI for awhile with the sheer stupidity of my moves though. Edit: It's pretty hilarious how my terrible moves make the games not resemble the Genius games at all though. NowonSA fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Sep 30, 2015 |

Well, I can see the argument as 'given that we were able to place these pieces at any point on the board we wanted, any movement that isn't forward is going to result in a position that's off the cuff, and incidentally give me more intel on which pieces aren't bombs.' It's not a great argument but it's not thoroughly awful.

But then he totally ignored anything he learned and just zerg rushed. I think the other issue with that is he only has 3 bombs, and at the beginning of the game your opponent isn't likely to move a lot of pieces. But yeah, he also just kinda forgot where the obvious bombs were.

The interview is fantastic so far. Apparently, during the S3 open audition process, someone started a rumor that the producers had hidden a "Token of Immortality" at the interview site and if you found it, you would automatically be cast on the show. So Kyunghoon saw a bunch of people in the waiting room running around inspecting the furniture and poo poo. Edit: The main PD of the show has a rule that there should be less than 5 women on each season. qbert fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Oct 5, 2015 |

uhm, everyone -- this just happened: (emphasis mine) http://www.c21media.net/itvsge-signs-korea-format-deal/ quote:MIPCOM: ITV Studios Global Entertainment (ITVSGE) in the UK has signed a format collaboration agreement with South Korea firm CJ E&M here at Mipcom. So... Yeah. ITV's had a couple of deals in the US here recently (The Chase, Best Time Ever) -- if some of the people who've worked with them in the past are attached to it (Bob Boden in particular), this could be good.

It sounded genuine, they asked Kyunghoon why that was the case and he said he didn't know. Finished listening to the whole interview, which was crazy long but totally worth it. It sound REALLY unlikely that there will be a Season 5.  Kyunghoon said that the same writers and crew worked on the show from the very beginning, and for S4, some of the crew knew they'd be leaving for various reasons after it, so the PD really wanted to finish the series with the same people and go out with a bang. Also after S4 all the contestants did like a weekend trip together with the crew, and as a gift they gave everyone a garnet, which Kyunghoon thought was a bad sign because they never did that in previous seasons since they needed to reuse the garnets as props for upcoming seasons.

I have no doubt it was genuine, what I meant was is having an openly sexist hiring policy something that can get the producers in trouble in South Korea? Kyunghoon said it pretty matter-of-factly, but I wasn't sure if that was because its normalized or because Kyunghoon's just pretty matter-of-fact about stuff.

And that's an improvement from what it was historically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_in_the_Joseon_Dynasty A choice quote: "By the end of the era women almost became "nameless" in Korea. They were mostly referred to by their husbands' or children's names ("...'s wife", "...'s mother")."

Yeah, I feel the same way as pokeyman. Need to check out the Tittycast later. I'm glad the Genius is getting a shot at an English language version. If they can make it half as good then it'll be a fun watch. With four seasons to choose from you don't even need to come up with your own main match games, just pick and choose some of the good ones. I would personally freak out for a best of three chess deathmatch near the end or in the finals. Even better if they go with a variant form of Chess with different rules, but I expect if they do Chess at all it'll be straight up.
