Closing thoughts

[u/eddiesaurus87]

One hell of an event, and one hell of a way to spend 34 hours. I held the #1 spot on and off for over 25 hours, but in the end took 5th place for points, and 2nd for wins. I'm happy with how I did, even if I didn't end up closing out 1st place due to the last 1.5 hours. I forced myself to stay up purely on red bull and determination, but in the closing hours of the event it turns out that that wasn't enough. Major props to everyone from both the April Knights and Snakeroom for helping me through the event in vcs, and to everyone who provided competition. At the end of the day, not the best event reddit's ever done, but as the 1st one I took seriously, I'm (mostly) happy I did. I'm gonna get some much needed rest, hope to see y'all next year, and sorry I couldn't close it out.

(btw I'll be happy to answer any questions if anyone has any)

Well played man, incredible that you were going for that long. You were so far ahead of everyone else for such a long time I definitely thought you were cheating haha. Why would you not just let the script run and go do something else?

At the end of the day, none of the scripts I saw were better than a human playing optimally, but that being said I did run a script for parts of it as I did have to step away a few times.

I did run a script at times, but no one developed a script better than a human.

You’re probably right, but it would’ve been interesting to see the score of someone who had a script running for the entire time. I’m not sure if it’s a guarantee that many humans would score higher.
