What the UK did is a step in the right direction. You can’t argue that this is only valid if they ban the other things you listed as well. You need to start somewhere. Norway for example went a different route and increased taxes on alcohol and sugar to reach a healthier population

Fish belong to the family of clouds (i.e. floating), trees belong to the same group as rocks (see sudowoodo)

This comment is how you get a lot of complaining and shouting Frenchs I guess

That’s an interesting thought, but is there more to it? The German market is one of the biggest ones where almost everything gets dubbed, but that’s a country with a pretty stable democracy.

Do you have examples of fascist regimes that dub to advance propaganda?

It’s simply calculating how many times a player has been picked from all possible players. If 100 users made their pick and 25 picked LeBron you’d get 75 points. The tier system is using these percentages, but needs to be tuned to be somewhat realistic.

As there aren’t many users I need to initialize the guess_counts with historical data, which isn’t perfect. It distributes the guess counts a bit too equal, so that almost each pick is “rare” in the end.

Also factoring in is that currently almost only some friends of mine play the game, all of them basketball nerds. They rather pick some random guy from the end of the bench instead of players like Lebron, Curry or Westbrook.

I’m still tuning that part, just made changes to it yesterday.

Regarding historical data: that was a decision I made in the beginning. Allowing players from other times would’ve made the game logic much more complex.

There’s another nba grid game similar to mine that uses historical data (i found out after NBAGrid was mostly finished). I’m on mobile, can’t easily link right now.
