{mods are warned against the use of sarcasm, sadly this fails sometimes, much like common sense} SirSebstar feels the need to speak in the third person against stahrgazer, who seems to doubt generic game mechanisms because they are the invisible hand of god/Lack and His will be done in strange and mysterious ways... BR works much the same way with deadbeating in freestyle as a regular game, just trust me on this....again.. (note to Lack; i just signed up to help a local party, Me is in Politics.. sigh)

Intentional deadbeating test, eh? Might be fun for the mods to agree to test to see what happens, if no one has yet. (I'm not sure a BR qualifies as an appropriate test)

So read the thread oneself, and see that even almighty Lack did NOT predict accurately what that BR game was going to do; speak again one's "sarcasm because one doubteth 'generic' game mechanisms from the invisible hand of god/Lack" (who Himself predicteth not, that BR game); discuss again the common sense to explain how it DID work; and tell one again "it works exactly the same way."

(One is not the only one who speaketh third, plus one raiseth one a dabble of informal form.)

Also, please noteth that when a program is forced into unusual circumstances, its other reactions will not always be what they were thought to be... as such, suggestion that BR might not be the most accurate test, is purely logical, rather than nonsensical. One might presume that the first player on the game will always be eliminated first, but perhaps not.... and, again, Lack was unable to accurately predict the outcome; based on his comments, he thought all would be eliminated at the same time.

and from that much like with nukes, we have learned that it works line by line.
before the br game something like this has never happened before, after the game we knew, and with the exp fro nukes we learn more. those 2 cases bring too much similarity to be ignored
