Excellent video.

ellie, you are simply AMAZING 👏🏼 and props to the ultimate show of humility at the end...how did it feel like being oppenheimer with the bomb

Codebullet make flappy bird on exel

Sadly after first season in Poland, in season 2 and 3, trying to act as a mole (pretending to be a mole) was so dominating strategy that show was unwatchable.

TRIBUTES! THEY ARE CALLED TRIBUTES!!

this is absolutely incredible, fantastic explanation, thank you!

Besides the part of people killing people always being the point (so far) the hunger games could be almost always different especially with quarter quells. But i feel like it could not last long enough. Especially since there are rebels trying to find the arenas and never reusing the arenas.

This was a brilliant video. It started getting really interesting after Ellie Rasmussen pointed out that the previous game master was killed and you could hear the fear in the voice.

They can't risk letting it go on for weeks. Because if the tributes realize they can just survive for weeks with the survival skills they were taught and on top of that become really close with their allies, eventually they will not want to kill each other. And that threatens the entire system. So they force encounters as much as possible, even if that means the show will be shorter

Pretty sure someone did this back in high school. It was 1 level but it was pretty big. I learned a hell of a lot from random students.

"Lets find an interesting video to listen while I clean my room, something light and simple" The video:

I love the original way more, we still get a new season every year of the OG wie is de mol, from the Netherlands where they also travel through foreign. I truly hate what Netflix did to it, the travel component made it so cool.

Remember the Real hunger game is a metagame played by the Capital to keep the districts subservient to the central state. So the Capital’s Symbol of the Cornucopia serves as an emblem of the gifts of the Capital, while also serving as a back drop to district Children fighting like savages.

I remembered watching this as a tween on Canadian television! I assume it was an American product. Not sure if I figured out who was the mole or not, but I'm excited to check out the video mention reboot and other countries' iteration me gio ed in the comments.

Amazing video, would love to see your take on surviving apocalyptic scenarios using the walking dead or the last of us as an example

The 4 people who made the show are in the closing credits: Bart De Pauw, Tom Lenaerts, Michiel De Vlieger and Michel Van Hove. Those 4 made a lot of memorable tv together between 1995 and 2010.

I would advise people to look into Jan Versteegh and Lennart Driessen. Both were the mole, Jan in NL, Lennart in BE, both were exceptional players. Jan was the best candidate ever, he threw himself into every task, ... to make them fail on seemingly details, or in the second part of the task. Most memorable was: transport as many items from this house to another house in 1 car trip, so he packed the car; second part of the task: the lady who lives in the house needs to go as well. Oops. Lennart was the best mole ever: the other candidates only suspected him in the finale, and the winner that season won just over 18K, lowest ever.

If I was in The Mole, I would secretly unionize the cast, maximize the earnings, and then split the earnings at the end with everyone but the mole and reveal myself as the anti-mole.

This didn't take long before it made me remember kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWTGf5ajoc5prrM from a few years ago, which also allows you to build these same systems, from scratch.

Can you please the excel file?

I wonder if this was a partial inspiration for Wendover's The Getaway. It's almost the exact same premise (as far as the players are concerned) minus the quiz, except all of the players are the mole. The production crew misled them each into thining they were the only mole. Spoiler: At one point, one of the players starts to suspect what's really going on, and realizes that if they could all collaborate to throw the challenges and increase their payout, but that he can't actually propose that without admitting to being the mole, and therefore the risk is too extreme, which is fascinating from a game design and strategy standpoint

Or, and hear me out, you make sure there are multiple different zones each with buildings with weapons in them, each play starts by dropping off of a flying bus.

This is peak cinema. 11/10 would watch

i have not seen any versions other than the dutch one, so idk how possible it is in others, HOWEVER, this video misses a HUGE part of strategy that is possible in the dutch show the dutch show has physical money to represent the prize money throughout the show, meaning this has to be kept somewhere and accessed relatively easy to add or subtract money between games. WHAT IS IN THAT STACK IS THE AMOUNT OF THE PRIZE MONEY if someone loses, hides, or destroys the money, that's a good thing for the mole. if the mole gets put in charge of the money OR gets access to it for some reason; BEING THE BREADWINNER IN GAMES IS A VIABLE MOLE STRATEGY meaning, in the dutch show, NO ONE can be truly eliminated from being the mole, no matter how much money they seem to be earning during tasks

I watched the first season on Netflix and it drove me up the wall, I hated this so much. The rules were never properly explained, what are the actual mechanics? Why specifically does the mole want to sabotage? Do they get the money lost or do they just need to be last man standing? What tools do the players have to route out the mole? The entire time I was watching I have no concrete explanation of how this all worked, till the very end I had no idea how the mole would win the money. Then there was my lack of information, the idea is for me to play along as well but I am severely outclassed by the players, they have 24/7 information of what's going on compared to me only seeing the clips shown on the show without the proper context of the rules so I could see Mole tells. I watched the entire show with my mother and she was convinced that this season's bread winner was in fact the Mole because neither of us had any idea how the game worked at the end of the day except Player good, Mole bad, (she thought being the bread winner would be the perfect Mole disguise, which is true but then why should anyone sabotage?). Additionally I don't get to see any of the quizzes or get confirmation from the quizzes like the players do. So eventually I just gave up entirely on trying to work out who the Mole was, the I may as well put my faith in a innocent player and just presume their answer is correct. So by the end of it I just ended up watching a group of players doing random tasks to get money which I never understood how they could take home, with a invisible threat that I could never see do anything. What frustrated me so much was one change would fix all my problems, tell me who the Mole is, that way I am no longer at such a severe information disadvantage having no idea if the players are just idiots, incompetent or traitors. I can easily see the games rules through the Moles eyes, and I get to enjoy the deception of this deception game.

Oo amazing vid!!

What about the value of hitting key modifier values like +8 (for a total 10 on all rolls not Nat 1), is there extra math or value there?

Your voice is between genders.

Minecraft Hunger Games is a much better Hunger Games cause there are chests full of items all around the map and there’s usually a grace period at the beginning

Am I just tripping or is the majority of what you "discover" or "come up with" just how the Original japanese Battle Royale Book/Movie works, where the Hunger Games drew their Inspiration from? 🤔

19:15 Even worse, I don't know what DND is !

Me at around 7:38: That's another XOR! That's another XOR! You must see it! Probably better to show all the necessary gates the way you did it.

I absolutely love the care that went into this video. The interjections to make you seem like a character in the universe, having a mental breakdown about their job; the accelerated and more stressed delivery; the dramatic music and more frantic ideas -- and then the actual content itself is A+, too. Amazing <3

5:45 Oooohh, so sky battle instead of survival games... 7:49 actually mc events could learn from this. Then again. Minecraft events require the players to actually enjoy their time

hearing your pitch drop to more reasonable levels and your weight and resonance improve from video to video is pretty satisfying

With computation redstone a lot of people are now passed binary and are using hexadecimal, redstone has signal strengths from 0-15 so 16 different amounts, because of those and competitors hexadecimal systems are becoming more popular, as a computational redstoner myself I’d love to show you some of my stuff sometime, and not just a calculator but a full CPU :), also the logic you used for the adders and decoders were more complex then they needed to be but they fulfilled the same logic tables needed, you definitely have the idea though :)

The reason the saving throw distribution is so distorted that previous editions of DnD used 3 special saving throw stats: reflex, fortitude, and will. In DnD 5e they split those up into the normal 6 stats, which favored Dex, Con, and Wis. Also, I feel like one lesson the game has taught by this point is don’t group your allies super close together, or you’re gonna get fucked by aoe effects. That first turn is a lot less distressing if only one party member goes down instead of all of them

bros trying way too hard with that voice

im def the explorer tbh ill go EVERYWHERE to make sure i didnt miss anything in any game

Just a quick note of appreciation for you, I found this channel like an hour ago and put it on in the background while i was cramming French (I am still, unfortunately, cramming French) but you're great ! Videos are nicely put together, the humour is funny and I like how you kinda sound like you are about to cry every second. Matches my study mood.

This is amazing. Utterly. My only question is whether as a game maker, are you also cognisant of the sociopolitical nature of the districts? District 1 and 2 are priority areas that as well as having pre-trained entrants, but they also supply citizens to form their peacekeepers. Having 1 and 2 win is useful for loyalty and prestige. One of the first issues driving Crane'd death was Katniss showing humanity to Rue, and Rue's impact changing the balance of loyalty in her district. How much is the placement driven by this, over player scores, abilities and popularity? The Hunger Games are about public control. Sure the Capitol citizens care about the entertainment factors, but how much do you adjust for things the capitol citizens know nothing about but could change the balance in districts? Especially without showing favouritism, or showing your hand as a game maker?

What is this is why we see UFOs as cubes withing a translucent sphere.

i love this thank you

great video!

I'm sorry but I don't like your voice

i really think all of this comes from taking a different definition of game than what was intended

The Quarter Quell was even worse game design. No interaction by the game maker at all to force them together, just 12 events in fixed zones on a schedule. It's a good thing the tributes escaped when they did, because it would have been incredibly boring to watch that cycle repeat for multiple days. Also, the events are almost all extremely lethal and fill the entire zone, and the arena boundaries are both lethal and invisible so tributes will sometimes die at random from a navigation error. I bet more tributes died from the arena than from their fellow competitors.

Or, you could have used Minecraft

among us in real life

My friend... You must play Football Manager or any Paradox grand strategy. They actually use excel as their engine (the FM main developer was using Excel as a hobby to capture Premier League stats and simulate matches).
