Theory's posts

@Dipper: I had no idea T was more common than A! So many surprising things! I guess it used word frequency too (like the word "the" and "to" and "this" are more commonly used than "azalea" and "aurora"). Until I saw that, I was basing my frequency assumptions on the letter distribution in Scrabble!

Black strategy is really cool though!

Sure, I'll get on board with hit. I have no idea what Vanora's up to xD

Yeah so I now believe that Vanora will never hit, so in general, we shouldn't either unless we have like... 13 or less?

Yeah, no guys, ignore my chart, we are not actually playing blackjack here.

@Dipper: bby I saw that letter frequency stuff you posted and I got tingly~

Ohhhh but she didn't hit. Why didn't she hit? Dealer always hits until they have 17 or higher.

@Rainbowpanda: You just look on the column for your hand (in our case, 16) and compare it with the card the dealer is showing (for Vanora, it's A). Chart says H for hit.

I'm gonna be like Dipper for a minute and drop some cool blackjack strategy resources on y'all.

We should hit when she has an A.

I've definitely only seen the Yu-gi-oh abridged series so I know like... four references. But I use them liberally~

Yeah, I don't know. I'll vote stay and see what happens!

@Lance: Almost as interesting as card games on motorcycles! ~obscure references~

@dragoness129: Yeah, that's what I mean... maybe she doesn't show them to us until after? That significantly impairs our odds of winning though... and in regular blackjack they're already under 50%.

Staying on 16 is good unless the dealer has a high card like a 9, 10, or A. But does Vanora even have cards?

@Vanora: Umm, do you have cards too? Or is this just us, and our only goal is to get 21 points?

@littlewhitedragonlet: Ah, maybe you're right. This is what I get for trying to count in my head. :P
