Title: Hacker & Player, Collaborator or Betrayer?
Post by: lily on October 09, 2018, 12:49:12 PM
F3D shows the charm of a zero-sum game: it seems to be a common human nature of neglecting low risks while favoring lucks. However, it is very dramatical at the end of the game: in the last 3 minutes, a hacker submitted a transaction with high gas after purchasing a key.  Therefore the hacker won the game with a low price while this transaction blocked other player's transactions. Here, the hacker grasped the best choice but other players had no alternatives. This situation reflects the extreme of the law of jungle: winner-take-all.

Is there a win-win game?

520Lure  (https://520.GeekGit.com) shows more complicated personal relationships in face of enormous interest. Although the game involves cooperation and confrontation, the rules are still simple:
 
Quote
A Rock-Paper-Scissors style game based on smart contract: 
 
  1. Players choose a pool to invest and exchange some keys firstly. The price of key will increase slightly after each purchase. 
  2. Players can pick a handsign and PK orderly with keys. The winner wins the opponent's key and gets 3 points. Each gets 1 point in a draw. Extra time is added to the game after each PK.   
  3. Players can play in teamwork(register a team, invite buddies, cooperate). 

When timer counts down to 0, the player with highest points becomes the champion. The player won in the last round becomes the winner.

  1. The jackpot will allocate to both teams of the champion and the winner at a preset rate. 
  2. The champion and the winner can get half of the allocation respectively. Team members can share remaining allocation respectively.
  3. All players can share dividend of keys and tokens.

Obviously, the rules encourage winning by teamwork. As championship is the biggest jackpot, the task of the team first and foremost, is getting a high points ASAP. How to get points quickly? Theoretically, the winning probability of RPS game is exactly 1/3 when players play independently. But if players collaborate, a champion candidate with highest points may appear sooner.

The rules of game cover the allocations of interest based on simple but not allover consideration. “I'm a contributor not have to be a goal getter” is a key mindset for teamwork. But in front of great interest, will every teammate have such a mindset? Will it become a test of human nature?   

On the other hand, it is harder for a hacker to become the last winner. Because extra time is proportional to online players, it is unpredictable who will win in the end when there are some players matching at the end of countdown timing. The hacker is no longer the master and may make the wedding dress for others. The player may counterattack and make it big. Does it seem a more real world with more probabilities and more alternatives?

More gaming features provided by blockchain blur gradually the boundary between game and reality. Is a game just a dream?
