I updated the TGM series price graphs with auctions from 2021. It seems that prices hit a ceiling in 2020, and have since walked their way down somewhat. In December 2021, TGM1 sold for 33~37k, which is more in line with prices prior to Japan's April 2020 arcade lockdowns.

Finally ready to release an article on #tgm_series pricing I've had in drafts for a while. What started as advice on how to spot price-gouging ended up digging deep into a few events in the game's history as well.

@MoonlitSnow_ @kirpy0x @tchukkelz @summoningsalt @bungerfan_27 No, I've thought about this plenty. There's potentially interesting conversation to be had with a fundamentally good person who thinks red is a pragmatic choice, but there's no point in wasting time with anyone attached to a fundamentally evil ideology. Kindly fuck off.

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@AndrewGspeedrun I think you hit on something interesting earlier when trying model your wife's potential vote; in the event that she voted blue, you needed to vote red to ensure at least one parent survived to care for a (hopefully also alive) daughter. Also minimizes risk of 2 red vs. 1 blue.

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@AndrewGspeedrun How are you calculating that?
Regardless, I think "coinflip" probability is a poor model for the problem. The aim of the game is to accurately model the voting strategy of your teammates, and the expected outcomes of either win.

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@kirpy0x @leonhart_1993 @tchukkelz @summoningsalt @bungerfan_27 It's just complicated. If you can accurately predict the voting strategy of your partner or other caretakers, the locally advantageous strategy might be to aim for a vote split; minimizes risk to a child (in the 2 red vs. 1 blue case) without risking the whole family unit.

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@leonhart_1993 @kirpy0x @tchukkelz @summoningsalt @bungerfan_27 It's the equilibrium of the rational voting populations' strategies that will yield an outcome.

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@leonhart_1993 @kirpy0x @tchukkelz @summoningsalt @bungerfan_27 I think you still misunderstand. The existence of a "coinflip" voting block does not affect the risk of life or death in any way. They can be effectively discounted in direct voting impact, just that 100% red vote is impossible and its win will always have costs.

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@AndrewGspeedrun What is the 1/16000 based on? Why is it being held in comparison to the perceived 1/2 outcome?

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@AndrewGspeedrun Ultimately yes, a blue coalition ensures survival for the maximum number of people regardless. If someone really thought it through and is certain they can live a good life regardless of the outcome, maybe they can rationalize a red press to hedge their bets.

[Alex Kerr @KitaruTC]

@AndrewGspeedrun If that's the case, then how well do you think things are going to go if red really does win? I don't see that as a stable condition for the continuation of the species.
