I just created a profile on the googology wiki; how do I become trusted (@fluffykitty)
Why am I asking here

Ask an admin. It'll probably help if you link to your post here.

Here's a random strategy game I invented a few years ago and forgot about until just now:



Materials:

• Legos:
  • 4x green 2x4 studs
  • 6x green 2x2 studs
  • 4x blue 2x4 studs
  • 6x blue 2x2 studs
  • Materials to make a 6x6-stud "base" (gray)
• 2x marbles (diameter < 2 Lego studs in width; differing in appearance)
• 2x players

Object: To cause your opponent to have no allowable action to take on their turn.


Definition: Square: A 2x2-stud area aligned with a fixed grid of such areas (dividing the base into 9 squares) that extends indefinitely in all directions. Each square constitutes a vertically infinite column passing through everything from the base (or even below) to an indefinite height.
Definition: Level: A horizontal layer the thickness of one Lego brick, extending infinitely in all directions.
Definition: Space: The intersection of a square and a level.
Definition: Tile: A space for which both the space above it and the space above that space are empty. (A space where a brick may be put into play or a space to which a marble or tower may be moved.)
Definition: Tower: A single brick and the set of all bricks partially or wholly "gravitationally" dependent on it for support -- or, more formally, the set of bricks recursively defined, starting with the original brick, by the property of occupying a space immediately above another brick in the set.

(Please note that the use of the word "tower" is completely coincidental and has nothing to do with today's date.)


Setup: Place one of each color 2x2 stud on opposite corners of the base. Place both players' marbles on the corresponding brick just placed.


Gameplay:

Decide someone to go first.

Each turn consists of two phases: construction and moving:

1. In the construction phase of your turn, pick one of your unplayed bricks and place it in any tile unoccupied by any marble. If it is a 2x4 stud, place it so that one or both "sides" of it occupy such a tile and it does not spatially coincide with a marble. Note: you may not play a brick in such a way as to leave it "misaligned" (i.e. partially occupying a space).
   • If, however, you have no more unplayed bricks (the tenth round of the game and after), you must instead select any of your bricks on the board and move its associated tower to an unoccupied tile. You may not move a tower for which one of its associated tiles contains a marble. At least one "bottom surface" of the tower (any brick in the tower which has an unoccupied space directly below) must rest on an unoccupied tile; however, it does not need to be the bottom surface of the brick you initially selected to move. Obviously again, no bricks and/or marbles are allowed to coincide spatially.
2. In the move phase of your turn, you may take one of three actions:
   1. Move your marble to any tile along a contiguous segment of von Neumann connected tiles of your color (in the same level).
   2. Move your marble one square orthogonally to a tile of your color which is one level above your marble's current level.
   3. Move your marble to a horizontal-orthogonally adjacent space and let it "fall" to the first tile of your color below (if the first tile below is of a different color, the move is invalid).

You may not pass your turn.

Players alternate turns. As mentioned earlier, on the tenth round of the game, the construction phase of the turn will shift from placing bricks to moving towers. Play continues as long as both sides continue to have allowable options for both phases of their turns.


Winning: if a player has no legal options for a phase of their turn (usually moving their marble), the opposing player wins. Players may declare a draw with mutual agreement or concede at any time.



I mostly came up with it on accident and it turned out to be surprisingly fun. I don't remember the exact numbers of each type of brick or the dimensions of the board, and one or two of the rules I just added as I was writing this post up, so it's mostly open to adjustment on any and all parameters. I think when I originally came up with it I used an 8x8 base (4 squares by 4 squares) and maybe 18 bricks per side -- since the playing area shifts and expands outward and upward (occasionally even downward) over the course of the game, it got to be to much space and too much material, so I decided to tone it down. 3x3 and 10 pieces a side is plenty of material for a ton of complex strategy, anyway -- larger sizes and numbers of bricks might possibly even be the next frontier in games at which humans can still beat computers.

Various likely questionable strategy tips (use at your own risk):

• Stay high, but not too high -- unless you're pressuring your opponent.
• If your turns line up right, you can park your marble on a tile adjacent to your opponent's marble and block them from creating a space to move.
• Creating a contiguous string of three or more adjacent tiles of your color on the same level can let you "flip the tempo" on your opponent and be able to use your marble to obstruct their movement if they have been doing the same to you in earlier turns.
• Pay careful attention to which towers your opponent will be able to move the next turn -- especially ones with their color on top. Strive to ensure that you have ready access to towers and especially single bricks with your color on top and cut off your opponent access to the same.
• Never go below the level of the base unless you have no other choice or you can win by doing so.
• Try to force your opponent outward -- especially by using 2x4 studs to create space outside the area of the base and forcing your opponent to move to those tiles.
• Conversely, try to stay in the center and near easy building spaces. Don't let yourself get cornered (metaphorically or literally).
• A very strong position to be in is on top of a set of towers while your opponent is adjacent at a lower level -- they will have difficulty removing the obstructing towers since your marble is blocking them from being moved.

When the googology wiki has a bad day (This is seriously a real excerpt):

The prime block of a row is the first [Math Processing Error] entries; the prime block of a plane is the first [Math Processing Error] square; the prime block of a realm is the first [Math Processing Error] cube, etc. Inductively, the prime block of a row is the first [Math Processing Error] entries, and the prime block of an [Math Processing Error] structure is the prime blocks of the first [Math Processing Error] [Math Processing Error]-structures.

OK, I must ask you biggiemac, what is your real name? Since Conway's Life is a mathematical recreation with serious consequences for cellular automata, it is important that your real name be known.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
For many years modern industrial leaders have searched for a way to effectively maximize the productivity and outcome of their technology. Many methods have been tried and tested to achieve such situation, but to no avail, until today. We, at Hatsyoo Engineering and Solutions have finally found a device capable of maximizing productivity and outcome.

We, as the proud representatives of The Edward Hatsyoo & Co. Generic Engineering and Solutions Company Ltd. Inc. Corp. proudly introduce the
Hatsyoo Bichronic Introspector
A machine is finally here that can provide a successive and coherent stream of bidirectional pull currents, with uses in toroidal phasery, theomechanical engineering — particularly when decompromising the various ground deterrents —, and Marxist Philosophy.

The machine is housed in an algebraic and physical casing made of solid halogen with hypercircumvental edges and corners designed to minimize serration when maneuvering. The casing can be opened, which will reveal the synchronous innards of the neobaryllic gas vent. Not only does this gas vent provide aeration to the mycorrhizae, it will also bolster the direputable switches in order to resolve the long-known issue of stator deterioration.

The machine is connected to a delta type converter with circumcised stator slots with interleaved repositories in order to prevent gastrointestinal malfunction and coronary implosion. The delta type converter can be further connected to a hydraulic phonology in order to provide a coherent stream of dihydrogen monoxide if needed.

The double forks of the Bichronic Introspector function to glottalize improper nouns to further maximize efficiency within the workplace. Retroflex antennae also help in connecting each and every individual with the Large Hydrogen Collider. Ejectives and consonant clusters are not affected by the theta radiation so Kartvellians do not need to worry.

If you seek to maximize the productivity and outcome of your modern industrial or technological endeavors, make sure to order a Hatsyoo Bichronic Introspector, available at any place where Hatsyoo products are sold.

Remember, Hatsyoo Corporation do not want your money, it only seeks to refine the lives of it's consumers. Please remember, Hatsyoo employees will never ask you for money. Do not give money upon obtaining any Hatsyoo product and or service under any circumstances.

We bid farewell,
Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

They're putting dihydrogen monoxide and oxidane into our drinking water! Both are powerful solvents! They are transparent, colorless, tasteless, and odorless, and thus indistinguishable from water! They're more acidic than Sodium hydroxide, too.
Oxidane is a substance which is used industrially, for instance, in steam engines.
If too much dihydrogen monoxide is consumed, it can cause people to vomit. It also reacts violently with alkali metals.
