Cribbage is pretty simple. You probably just aren't used to keeping score between rounds.
Anyway, don't play games with people in a psych ward. Too much chance of one getting violent for some random stupid reason.
and what if they get violent from being bored?
I bet you think chess is simple too lmao
Catapult rules. Try it out!
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/411625/catapult
Your game sucks, anon. Every move the first player takes immediately sets their opponent up to capture.
moron. It's not my game and you just haven't figured out the strategy! Try overshooting a single to avoid recapture by your opponent. Try drawing away his pieces with a number of trades so you can get the pieces that would reciprocally capture out of the way. I had the exact same concern with the game until I figured out some strategies.
>frogposter
>in a psych ward
Many such cases!
It's literally a solved game.
>Solved
Not quite but the rules are very complicated for what you get.
>"very complicated"
>6 types of piece with simple rules for movement
>knight hops over things
>pawn can move extra the first time
>en passing
>check and checkmate
>promotion when pawn gets to other side
>castling
>other castling
That's literally the whole set of rules.
>Stalemate and the various combos that make a game a stalemate
>Superko
>50 move rule
>75 move rule
>Have to remember if the pawn jumped two for en passant
Games like Tumbleweed mog this garbola to death!
>It's literally a solved game.
It isn't. This is a cope by and for insecure autistic morons.
The rules are.
There's complexity to play (and in cribbage as well), but comparing it to Cones of Dunshire means it has elaborate and complex rules. Which cribbage does not.
No it just has many arbitrary rules that I doubt result in much emergence. Here is a game of mine not yet published due to laziness. If you have a lot least one group on the board you must orthogonally expand one of these. Alternatively you can split off a stone from a group of yours and move it queenwise onto an enemy group, such that the stone creates a new group (not adjacent to any of your other stones orthogonally) and all stones in the enemy group are removed. Following this you place a third group somewhere on the board. Singletons cannot be captured. You may leap over your own stones only. The first player who can do neither action wins.
Every rule does at least two things; for instance the no capture of singletons rule means singletons can be used to block access to bigger groups but also ensures a longer game for the given board size as all captures will at least be dominoes. The whole basis of the game is that there is an ever-increasing number of groups and thus the game must end and there is an incentive to make large groups to target more of the board. This is what the designer Mark Steere calls "architecture"
...That's not chess.
Go is computationally much more difficult, actually.
It's not Go, you turkey, it's my own game: Panopticon
more like gay panopticon
ajajajajajajjjajajajajaj
Idgi
see i took the name panopticon and put the word gay in front of it to make it funny
Didn't work. Try again.
more like uhhhhhh hmh h gay didn't work try again
>A lot
At least*
>You must orthogonally expand one of these
EXACTLY one of these*
>Mark Steere
Literally whom?
The guy who started it all (naturally finite games)
https://www.marksteeregames.com/MSG_game_index.html
Reversi and Hex are a lot older than that!
Their finitude is trivial and just comes down to an ever-increasing number of pieces. The new games that have followed in the footsteps of Steere involve things like groups gradually growing larger (Oust, Bug by Nick Bentley) or a limited number of groups which grow and die (Tanbo, Rampart) or even an increasing number of groups being the limiting factor like in this
That's a very common misconception. Mentally ill people have the same chance of being violent as anyone else, and that's before the treatment psych wards provide. I'd rather be with a schizophrenic than a meth addict.
Better advice is to not make lasting friends with people you meet on the inside, and whatever else you do, for the love of frick do not sleep with anybody or start a relationship, you have no idea what emotional baggage someone has.
>I'd rather be with a schizophrenic than a meth addict.
That's not setting a very high bar. But the rest of your post is absolutely correct.
Well AkShUaLlY
Psych Ward inmates are a subgroup group of crazy people, that have been deemed unfit to dwell among normies, because their behavior is for whatever reason, unacceptable.
Most crazy people live with their relatives, I've had some near misses with being sectioned myself, and have visited persons in psych ward, who were in because they were not infrequently violent, but were considered "non-culpable", in this particular case, it was a big deaf schizophrenic guy I knew who used to smoke crack and shoplift.
He had an episode once and threw his mother down the stairs.
Yeah the wholesome PC line doesn't apply to psych wards, that's literally the point, anon is very naive.
I don't know what kind of person would even need to be told not to start relationships or sleep with people in psych wards.
Me. I nearly had sex at the psych ward but I thought I was possessed at the time
I self-admitted to a psych ward once. It was awful. Much worse than the movies make it seem. I imagine prison's no different. Also everyone else there except for one guy was a junkie in for substance abuse. I played a few games of chess with that guy. Anyway next time I'm just going to go through with suicide.
>Anyway next time I'm just going to go through with suicide.
There's more options than suicide and psych ward.
Remember that dude who went to Mexico and blew $20,000 literally on hookers and blow and then decided that maybe life was worth living after all.
It doesn't need to be so dramatic, but often a change if scenery can help a lot. It costs money, but so does a psychopathic ward suicide can also be expensive sometimes, as your family can be held liable if you cause damage or disruption when you die, though I guess you don't much care if that happens.
to do that you'd probably need $20,000 and i have maybe $3 if i went through my drawers and found a quarter
nta btw
the psych ward i went to was free though since the college counselor called a wellness check on me
they sometimes bug me for my social security number though and i keep dodging their calls
That's why I said it doesn't need to be 2 cocaine-fueled orgy weeks.
Anyway, I'm just sayin', if you're serious about not dying, there's a middle ground. Otherwise, good luck I guess.
i was never actively suicidal personally, i just had a stress-related breakdown and they took that as me being a danger to myself
that place was straight up hell though
the kind of place where if you're not crazy going in after a while you will be
also they made me squat and cough and most of the staff were on a power trip, they saw us as animals at worst and didn't know how to interact with us at best
the doctors were pretty cool though
anyways that was unrelated but for anyone in the thread considering self-admittance i'd strongly recommend against it
if you're considering it you're still sane enough to alter your course
I'm sorry your experience was so bad. At my facility I get a private room, handfuls of mind-numbing pills and my own bathroom. The nurses are nice and I don't have to leave my room if I don't want to. Generally boredom only sets in once the psychosis recedes.
Same
Yeah I went to place to detox off alcohol once. It was full of Black person nurses who acted rude about everything. There was a white guy who didn’t know how to read a clock.
You can’t actually have a nice one because Medicaid will force you to take the dredges anyway.
>Le suicide and major depression means you can become the Jonkler meme.
>you don’t need to kill just spend $20,000
Reminds me of when I worked a minimum wage factory job that was the sort of advice the boomers and GenXers gave for everything.
>’Money can be found’
Rings in my ears for eternity
If substance abuse and prostitutes cured suicide the rate would be a tenth of what it is now.
Mental illness takes a lot of forms, but most people are not prepared for psych ward mental illness.
I've dealt with OCD and MDD forever but I'd stopped taking my meds at this point.
the bigger issue is if you're in that place you often don't have the motivation to do something so dramatic. and almost certainly don't have the money.
but if you can find a way, if you're right at the edge of the abyss anyhow, the change of scenery is not worthless. get out of town on your own feet, or with a bus ticket, and just head somewhere different. just pick a direction and see how far the road goes. it could all go horribly wrong of course, you could die of exposure or get stabbed by a junkie or eaten by a mountain lion, but what have you got to lose at that point? frick it, roll the dice one more time.
This advice is stupid. If you don't want to be depressed, just opt out of the ratrace and find some hobbies. As soon as I stopped caring about success and sex, my depression disappeared.
I checked and it turns out the dude spent $2000.
Still a lot of money.
That's an order of magnitude less money than you said.
