Testing if string length correlates to $. For science!
(could not get a screenshot quick enough before the victory screen popped up, so uh. spoilers below?)
Hi, thanks for playing the game but most importantly thanks for advancing science! I think we can conclude that the Bee movie was indeed a positive contribution to the progress of mankind, but we should be careful about generalizing this result XD
(let me know if you want an actual serious answer to how this works)
so the string length isnt correlated actually whatever you put in the result is random between different types of outcomes (very good, good, mediocre, I think). This was a tough decision that I thought a LOT about because idk this seems important but these are the main reasons behind:
- it would be quite technically complex to judge the proposals meaningfully, best I could do would probably be an HTTP call to a LLM but that would prevent offline play.
- that way I can balance the experience for everyone, i.e. make a run where you do politics "relatively easy but not guaranteed", i.e. make sure you can win without too much effort but you do need a sustained investment, its not just a one-click thing. Creating that vibe is what I focused on.
- finally, and perhaps most importantly, I didnt want to bias the game with my own political thoughts, I wanna be open to every radical proposals. for instance i dont believe personally that anarchism would work well, but i do wnat to encourage people to think in that direction and maybe try it out even. It's in a spirit of "no bad idea except doing nothing", though ofc you can enter bad ideas and still get points as a side result xD but maybe someone has an amazing idea that nobody has ever seen, and it would be the opposite of the game spirit to discourage that.
