Sorry, going to out. After thinking on it more I just don't think multitabling a non-post cap game is a good idea for me right now.

kirb play champs!

One of my favorite parts of playing mafia over the last year was getting to just calmly work through scenarios with sb/dq in the spec game. Theres just something so fun about being able to go back and forth with someone without any pressure or tension along with it.

sb/dq goat

I'll try this, thanks

hee ho

Thank you for playing Ampharos Thinks! I hope you found it fun.

Big shout outs to Ampharos for playing along while ordering what I can only assume is the Box Combo in the drive thru at 2am

my initial answer was 1500^3, which iirc is about 3.5 million

and then i realized "wait there are going to be a lot of repeat individuals in there. mutual acquaintances etc"

so i just said "$%#! it i'm knocking off like half of those and calling it a day"

billion* pretty significant error there lol

oh.

well in my defense i did these on my phone calculator in the canes drive thru at like 2 am

the idea of you checking your phone in the canes drive through and seeing a dumbass idea from me to answer random weird questions and being like "hell yeah lets do it" cracks me up

we have one question left

Question 2:

You are about to be sentenced to 10 months prison time at a low security, high end, white collar correctional facility in which your safety is guaranteed. However, you're offered an alternative. You can avoid all prison time and nothing will go on your record if you agree to have X% of every paycheck for the rest of your life withheld. What is the highest value of X that you agree to let them take instead?

All information presented to Amy A Amphraos has been posted, sorry (any clarifications were added to the questions already)

Originally Posted by LordQuas 1647763014 (#3)

i assume amy tried to seriously answer these and didn't say 69 five times? gamer as that would be

All answers were given serious consideration

This game is called Ampharos Thinks. Here's how it works.

1. I asked good friend and all around rockstar Amy A Ampharos 5 questions with a numerical answer. These could only be answered with positive integers. No decimals or fractions.

2. I'm going to post those 5 questions here.

3. You want to send me a PM with what you think Amy answered for each question. Your PM should have 5 answers.

4. After a period of time I will reveal all of the guesses and the answer that Ampharos gave. The person who is closest to Ampharos' answer (going over is fine) will receive 1 point, next closest will receive 2 points, and so on until all points are given. This process will repeat for all 5 questions.

5. The winner will be the person with the lowest total score.



Notes: You are not trying to give the correct answer. The correct answer is irrelevant. You are simply trying to guess what Ampharos thinks the answer is. There was no research done by Ampharos when answering the questions and was all done via napkin math and top of the head estimations.


Entries will close at noon eastern on Thursday, March 24th.


The questions are as follows:

1. What is the combined age of every single person (not account) that has posted at least once on Mafia Universe?



2. You are about to be sentenced to 10 months prison time at a low security, high end, white collar correctional facility in which your safety is guaranteed. However, you're offered an alternative. You can avoid all prison time and nothing will go on your record if you agree to have X% of every paycheck for the rest of your life withheld. What is the highest value of X that you agree to let them take instead?



3. How many ants would you have to stack on top of each other before they were as tall as a giraffe?



4. How many different people are within three degrees of IRL separation from you? To clarify: someone you met personally is one degree of separation. Someone they met personally would be two degrees of separation. Someone those people met personally would be three degrees of separation. Internet only interactions do not count.

Have you a personal opinion on accobra?

It wouldn't take long to read him

I thought Accobra was a low availability villager that focused on familiar people in their time around. Ladd disagrees and it sounds like you do too so maybe I'm turned around here?

accobra has been townie today in limited posts... not down

its the type of read I'd give a small fist pump for being right on
