Should I change my picks or keep them the same? What will John S Mill think that I will do?

RRRRR - the geodude throw
ps. not my actual picks. I’m here to WIN.
And we are off and running… and it’s a great start! Thanks to everyone for getting your throws in already - that makes the tournament a lot more exciting for everyone! 
Each region is starting to show its own personality already - in the SteveGrondin region, half the players are emulating the regional headliner (but forgot that our reigning champ has a bye, and they don’t).
In the Vorian_Atreides region, apparently nothing is going to come easy - no game was settled after the first throw! 
In the soyleche region, we’ve got our first 3-throw game of the tourney, in an otherwise efficient region of 1-throw games.
In the Snake region, we’ve managed to cover all the options in just two throws, suggesting it’s going to be a wild one in there. Meanwhile, we watch the stare-down from opposite ends of the region between JFG and Echo as they wait with their byes…

So lots of early excitement in the tourney already, and more to come! So keep those throws coming, and keep the handy!

The proper method to do a 3-way.

As we wrap up the first day of March Madness, I just want to say “Thank you!” to our players - nearly everyone who was in an active game got their throws in, which got us off to a GREAT start! 
The Vorian_Atreides region gets the “Go! Go! Go!” award for the day - the only match-ups with 2 completed games are both in that region! Way to keep them on task, VA!
Keep those throws coming, y’all! We’ll be back midday tomorrow with the next update - stay tuned!

Enlisting ChatGPT to help me beat Tiffany

But what if she uses Chatgpt, telling it that you’re using Chatgpt?

Also,
Cutoff from the final outcome was the very long back and forth to get it to understand what was thrown in the past. I tried to be extremely clear initially, numbering each throw, but ChatGPT couldn’t understand for some reason. I think draws are hard for it.

And here’s the mid-week mid-day update… now with bigger titles!! 
We’ve got a lot going on this morning, and now we’re up to 5 players (including one in each region) with 2 wins in the books, which means they’re halfway to moving on to the next round! (But be careful - it just may be a trap that’s being set - after all, in a Best-of-7 match, there’s a little wiggle room to play with… 
)
Keep those throws coming!!
We’ll have an update later today (but FYI it may be much later today… more like late tonight - so pace yourself on the ).
