I wonder how much Id stand to gain if I did a Sell Put of $11 and I put in $25k

I can tell you exactly this.

you could sell 20 contracts, (2000 shares)

For strikes expiring a week from Friday they are trading for .17

so you would make $340 if they didnt go below 11 or would end up with 2000 shares if they did.

you would make more money at a higher strike obviously

And how exactly do I make money? It has to go below $10?

The contrary. If it doesnt go below $10

or it goes below $10 and you keep it and it later goes above $10

its why selling puts is great. Its hard not to make money.

Ant man science makes Dr. Strange look realistic.

The second ant man movie had me yelling at the screen how inconsistent everything was. A tiny building would still have everything shift around and break. If ant man tiny still has enough force to punch a tiny building would still have the same weight so it couldnt be moved. If you go through objects and cant control it you should fall straight through your bed and not be able to sit on it.

seriously they did not even try. At least other marvel movies use magic or something.

I feel like this game tries to be twisty but I dont have enough attachment to these characters to care. Like I got to the part where

melias step mom turns out to be working with that one guy who also uses the monado right before we go to prison island

And Im like....ok?

The game just doesnt give motivation in the characters enough for me to care.

Someone mentioned Logan so Ill soapbox

Logan has the premise of an amazing movie and immediately craps on it to become a super hero movie. I was really excited to watch 90 minutes of wolverine the limo driver and grapple with how far he had fallen.

instead we got another comic book movie but this time there is blood and limbs getting ripped off and stuff.

Just as a matter of avoiding confusion, usually when talking about stocks people use "long" to mean you own the stock and are betting on it to rise and "short" to mean you borrowed and sold the stock and are betting on it to go down. Here people are using "long" to mean "long-term" which is not that confusing in context but if someone ever talks about a "short position" to mean a short-term long position, it will be very confusing as the literal meaning will be precisely the opposite of the intended meaning.

I was confused

According to the Discord if he scanned IGCD he would win, after scanning bolt?

Disco Cop Aecioo Zombie+Pacifist/Anarchist/Meditator

Looks like if he scanned a Zombie and one of the other three roles he won.

Yeah this. Anarchist was renamed to Deaths role of unhelpful mcguffin but I hadn't update my spreadsheet when I posted that



Also at one point in the setup there was a rescuer which rescued other players. In late stages of balancing it got thrown out because it was too swingy which is why it is referenced in Deaths flavor.

Its a pet peeve of mine when hosts only reference things that are actually in the game leading to role meta, so I left it in though it didn't end up mattering.

FIREFDR has died he was

You are the researcher at the beginning of every zombie movie: INDEPENDENT SURVIVOR SCUM SCIENTIST. You created the zombies who are attacking town. Because of that you know their identities, but they do not know who created them. You are immune to zombie attacks. If your experiment fails and the zombies die then well ... maybe youll come up with something... You win if town succumbs to the virus. ( like a mafia win normally)

AECIOO HAS WON he was

You currently work as a detective, but is that who you actually should be? You are INDEPENDENT SURVIVOR DISCO COP. At night you can investigate people and learn about their lives. What have they found that you havent? Are they truly happy in this time of turmoil? If you find meaning in life you will leave and win the game. Otherwise you win if Town doesnt succumb to the virus. (like a town win normally)

LEA HAS WON she was

You are the badass person that manages to be the only the person who actually is successful in killing zombies: INDEPENDENT SURVIVOR ZOMBIE HUNTER. Once per game you can shoot at night. If you shoot a zombie you leave the game and win. Otherwise you win if Town doesnt succumb to the virus. (like a town win normally)

ABACUS HAS WON he was

You know the zombie apocalypse hasnt changed much for you. Before you didnt get around to doing things and now you dont get around to doing things. You are INDEPENDENT SURVIVOR PROCRASTINATOR. If a lynch is tied at the end of the day instead of going into overtime you will leave the game and win. Otherwise you win if Town doesnt succumb to the virus. (like a town win normally)

DEATH HAS LOST he was

You are the super unhelpful person in the zombie movie who wants the zombies to be around for dumb reasons: INDEPENDENT SURVIVOR UNHELPFUL MCGUFFIN. You can not be rescued. You win if town succumbs to the virus. ( like a mafia win normally)

Dead people chat
https://discord.gg/UsaAJ9

Quick notes:

FireFdr had the choice of becoming a zombie or having a message being posted this morning that he was going to escape by helicopter. I think that choice would have been funner but oh well.

Death kind of got screwed over. If he was bit by a zombie he would have turned into a full zombie instead of dying. But his role wasn't very fun. He was a victim of balancing.

Overall I am actually pretty happy with how the game turned out balance wise. It was really, really hard to try to weigh making town actively trying to lose with making a balanced setup. I think I kind of nailed it. The downside was that the zombie aligned roles were definitely less fun to be then the town ones. Oh well.

Aecioo won with a zombie scan and scanning one of three other town people most notably IGCD. Best post of the entire game was IGCD lamenting that Aecioo didn't scan him so he would get night killed.... which if that had happened he would have lost anyways. "oops"

Overall I think the game was really intersting. I honestly was just curious what would happen in a game where everyone was an independent survivor. I don't think there is any real way of making it similarly balanced and also solving the issues of scum roles kind of sucking. I toyed with the idea of no mafia team for like 5 minutes before throwing that out because it would have been terrible gameplay.

Oh, and Aecioo crushed it. Play more

Making a big cruise gamble.

so I reversed my strategy because of the coronavirus situation in Florida. Florida just had the two largest increases in daily cases yet.

The thought is one of two things is going to happen

  1. Florida has to reverse course and shut stuff down again. Travel stocks panix
  2. Corona keeps accelerating. Travel stocks panic.


The play: 10 July 17 $45 Puts of RCL.

Going to get out in the next two weeks to avoid the worst of the theta decay. Just need a few bad days in a row

You are the medic guy who would save himself over other people if given the choice: INDEPENDENT SURVIVOR FIELD MEDIC. At night you can choose someone to save. If you successfully save someone then the following night you will attempt to leave the game. If you are not killed that night you leave and win.
