Do you have to be alive to win if your win condition doesn't say survive?

Nope, if you are the mouse and the lion wins, you for example win.

Predators aren't suppose to eat other predators. That is what went wrong. Predators should have only target other predators when they felt their amount of prey was growing too little. It seems like to me the snake scared the other predators a little too much.

The lion absolutely should eat the other predators. We saw in the show what happens if he doesn't.

The lion is the exception. The lower predators should be buddies and friends. The lion is kinda an oddball.

Even then with the lion, it isn't so much "it should eat all predators/prey" because its such an exception due to being the top of the food chain and starving in one round, that it really can't say to itself "I had to do everything one way" because the Lion requires the food chain to have some sort of balance.

What is the benefit any predator derives from having competitor predators still in the game?

loving over the lion for the hyena for example

Fast Luck posted:

True for the hyena, any other examples though?

That works for other predators too, since most of them don't need as much prey as the Lion, its the lion that really screws the other predators over.

The predators want to work together so they can break up at least some of the prey.

Fast Luck posted:

It works for the hyena because his win condition is that the lion dies. I'm not sure how it works for any other predators who have the win condition of surviving. The more prey die, the lower their chance of survival. Personally I knew you were the eagle and was telling people to kill you because I thought that would help the croc. What do you mean by "breaking up the prey"?

The lion needs to eat a total of 4 to win the game.
The croc and eagle only need to eat 2 if they plan correctly.
The hynea only needs to eat once, and doesn't even need to survive to win the game.
So that is only 4 or 5 times the croc, eagle, and hynea needs to eat. Its the lion who throws thing off by needing to eat himself 4 times. Breaking up the prey comes into play with the group that can stick together to survive together.

Superrodan posted:

Unless I am doing the math incorrectly, even if the top three predators found eachother and could work together there is no way they could all win. The snake and one of the creatures with the invulnerability power would survive and that would leave 7 prey total (including the hyena). In order for the lion, croc and eagle to survive they need to collectively eat 8 things.

Again, the lion is the exception, he is the one that screws everything up for the other predators because of how much it needs to eat. The proper play for the lion is to try to infiltrate a predator alliance, but never say he himself is a lion and then striking when the time is right.


Mills posted:

I thought the Eagle would just assume the Mallard would pick the sky thinking it was the safest place on a pure numbers basis, start there and eat him. That seemed like the most likely thought process for a Mallard (and turned out to be the actual thought process).

Yeah, I thought the Mallard was going to do this so I was saving him for later.

Screwing up the lion is fairly easy too, eating it's mouse can really gently caress up its game.
