Thanks for hosting HP

no worries. I'm thinking maybe in the future I'd like to run the same game again, only people who don't send a number get 1 trillion as opposed to -1

I think that would be interesting

I think it would be more interesting if only integers were allowed.

Because this format has no scale... someone could pick 0.5 and still lose to 0.3 and 0.2. By only allowing integers, you know when you pick 2 that you can only win if someone picks 1 or both players pick the same number. And since no one would pick 1, you should know not to pick 2, but if no one will pick 1 or 2, then you can't use 3 either... by allowing any fractions that element is entirely absent.

I actually thought only integers were allowed. That's part of the reason I picked 514, lol.
