After maybe 30 or 40 games, my tulpa had established her dominance. Not only is it strange that I would ever lose, it is doubly strange that when I paid the most attention to her plans I lost the most frequently.

So, play Tic Tac Toe with your tulpas and post results.

I always found this one funny. Tic Tac Toe is a very simple game that really anyone can play. It's not surprising that she managed to dominate you on the playing field, Waffles. The game doesn't take much strategy. Now, go play a real man's game with your tulpa -- chess.

On a subnote, I find Tic Tac Toe to be a bit too easy, and non-engaging. It's easy to gain the upper hand against an opponent like Sorryman (or anyone else for that matter). Really, as he said, you should try a more engaging game that is less-repetitive like chess. With TTT the game is just about getting a straight line and really that's not very hard to do, but it's fun from time to time.

I think I'd probably win after a few turns. And besides, it's really easy to anticipate his movements when I can see what he's going to do before he does it!

Mayor pls. I played it 22323 times just now.

Is it a lie? Is it true? We'll never know.

Sands:
I told you waffles.

Anyways, why it is so difficult is because they know what your move will be and basically flaunt what their move is going to be after that. So you start overthinking and doubting your own move in the first place so you can play right into their devious little tupper trap. But I found out you can use that too and then he played into my traps and it felt better than anything. Playing Tic Tac Toe on your own and losing/feeling good when you win. Not sure what to think of that.

5 draws, 5 for him, 6 for me, tiebreaker game. I think I found an almost consistent way to beat him in the end, but I think I'll forget it soon enough and then I'm back to square one. Or he learns and comes up with a better plan. Making your opponent overthink is the key. I don't even know how chess would be when Tic Tac Toe already manages to get super complicated like this. I don't know chess though so I can't be the one testing.

One of the games he basically let me win though, so not sure how good of a win I can call my "win". Changed his better move to a worse one. Why.

waffles:
Tic Tac Toe may be easy but that's what makes it so interesting in this context. As with all very simple games, the battle becomes mostly psychology with your opponent; Sands' testimony says as much. Playing chess is fine but I guess it takes a bit more development on your tulpa's behalf to plan ahead enough moves to make it a thoroughly tactical game and not at least partly down to luck. Chances are you aren't that good either. Either way, it's the psychology of the game that's interesting and not the game itself. There's always Ultimate Tic Tac Toe if you want something complex.
