Western Meddling in Iranian Protests
So this is great and all. Encouraging protests and stuff. Um didnt this happen in Iran in Arab Spring too? When people start dying were gonna look pretty bad again. Like we encouraged a coup but didnt actually care about the consequences.

With respect to generating random pairings, one way to do it is to just make a metric that measures how many bad things (people playing together in multiple games) and then just have the computer generate about a million random pairings then just pick the best one.
damian (675 D)

Haha that is basically what my program did cspieker.

I kinda liked playing with some new people. The interface definitely frustrates me a bit but I’m still happy I played. Things did get a little hairier once Carebear left. That was unfortunate.
Condescension (10 D)
10 Dec 17 UTC
I don't think you need to generate random pairings, I think you can just loop through all iterations in a reasonable amount of time.
Condescension (10 D)

I forgot my perms and combs though so maybe there's billions of groupings or something.
Condescension (10 D)

Nevermind, you definitely can't loop through the entire search space.

Just a few more until I can get pushed into the third tier. I really wish you had stuck with FP GR because I genuinely suck at FP.
Condescension (10 D)

Damian, I think it's possible to generate the complete set of minimally-overlapping games. Let me think about it.
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Dec 17 UTC
I already made it and gave it to him. My solution is pretty simple algorithmically but idk if I could generalize it well without some more thinking.

Ghug, did you post it in this thread?
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Dec 17 UTC
No, I sent him a hardcoded list of numbers cause I was on my phone.
Condescension (10 D)
10 Dec 17 UTC
Do you still have it? I'm curious what the solution is.
ghug (5068 D(B))
10 Dec 17 UTC
Basically with 21 players any given game is split up 2/2/3 into games in the other round. You can ensure that nobody plays anyone thrice. With 28 you split it 2/2/2/1, you can ensure that nobody plays anyone thrice, and you can ensure that the people who don't play with anyone from one of their games only get that privilege once.

It's trivial to generate the first two rounds in constant time, and then your search space for the third is small enough that slightly intelligent brute force solutions become feasible.
Condescension (10 D)
10 Dec 17 UTC
Yeah that was basically what I was thinking (I was doing the 28 player problem). I think there's a non-bruteforcey solution. I guess that's just an academic problem though.

76. LongTermParking - I presume it's 0 since I just started up here.

I'm new, but it would be awesome to play some regularly scheduled games with hopefully fewer NMRs!
damian (675 D)
10 Dec 17 UTC
I've added both justinnhoo and LongTermParking to the list.

At the moment we have enough players for 21 in tier 1 and 28 in both tier 2 & tier 3.

I mean it's barely brute force. A backtracking algorithm like they use for sudoku night actually solve it without ever even backtracking.

There's probably a more mathy solution involving Latin rectangles too.

It looks like you're adding people and their GR. My most recent is 157.63 . Add me?

This thread is long so here's hoping I did this right. It looks we switched from using FP to regular GR based on the numbers on the list, which would give me the following entry using damian's last post:
