Of Capsim Challenge II

And so it has began, the Capstone World Wide Fall 2008 Challenge is in progress

Decisions for Round 1 has been uploaded and the scores on the proforma didn't look good enough to win, its a long race against computer bots though and the tortoise might just win the hare..

having said that, there are distinct differences between a Tortoise, Turtle and Terrapin even if they all start their names with a T and share a somewhat common scientific name in some part of their .. eh.. scientific name

Tortoise are your flat footed, tree stump foot kind of animal which munch mainly on vegetation and can grow to a sizable.. eh.. size, just think the Galapagos tortoise

Turtles, however, have feet that are suitable for swimming and spend most of their time in water.. these are also the ones that seek the same beach they were both in to give birth again, the males.. they don't really bother to return, the mating is done out at the seas and the female makes the swim back up shore.. turtles are also made famous by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.. which i suspect aren't really turtles.. how? blame the rate for calling them wrong names then

Terrapins, finally, is also the love of one of the ladies in the blogs i read column.. to be exact, the terrapin is the author of the blog, not my friend.. so oh well.. back to terrapins, the red eared slider is the most common breed found in Singapore, that means almost every aquarium who are selling baby/youthful terrapins and also the ones that are abandoned in our local reservoirs, lakes, ponds and anywhere else barely habitable for these creature.. so the next time you think you want to get one from the pet shop for yourself or that kid who doesn't really know about caring for these creature, please, think again

Oh and yes, the capsim challenge, results for Rd1 decisions are out.. on profits alone, i'm in 4th place out of a total of 6 teams in the industry(other 5 are bots)..







7 rounds to go

Hey there, just about to do the challenge competition myself! I know you did it quite a while ago, but any information on how the computer players tend to play (you said they specialize, will they drop out of certain segments?) would be fantastic!

Thanks,
Sean
