(I hope the columns come out correctly - I hate web forms for text entry, particularly ones that reformat text)
The 'r' and 's' after the ranking indicate if the move/decision is
still being rolled out ('r') or has been stopped 's'.
I am thinking of always showing three lines:
ND - label 'Centered 1 cube' or 'Player xxx owns 2 cube'
DT - label 'Player yyy owns 2 cube' or 'Player yyy owns 4 cube'
DP - label 'Player yyy drops'
The status flag of DP, when it displays) will always come out as 's'.
The change between rolling out a double vs. rolling out a take would
be:
1) the progress window would show the taker's equity/mwc, rather than the
doubler's equity. I find it odd that a take decision displays
positive equities in the rollout progress window which become
negative when the rollout ends and it's moved to the annotation
window.
2) If you're rolling out a take decision, the ND line will be
displayed, but will have the ranking set to 'n/a', since you'd need
a time machine and some threats to turn a double back into a
no-double.
3) The ranking of choices for a double decision is between ND and the
least favourable of DT and DP. The jsd of the ranking will reflect
the jsd between ND and the least favourable choice. The most
favourable (and hence the choice the opponent should avoid) will
get a ranking of 'n/a'). Examples:
I. Doubling too early:
centered 1 cube .... +0.52 1 r
player opp owns 2 cube .... +0.35 2 r
j.s.d. <= vs. no double
player opp drops ... +1.00 n/a s
j.s.d <= vs. no double
II. A correct D/T:
centered 1 cube .... +0.87 2 r
j.s.d. <= vs double/take
player opp owns 2 cube .... +0.93 1 r
player opp drops .... +1.00 n/a
III. A correct D/P:
centered 1 cube .... +0.85 2 r
j.s.d. <= vs double/pass
player opp owns 2 cube .... +1.67 n/a
j.s.d. <= vs. double/pass
player opp drops .... +1.00 1
IV. Too Good to Double:
centered 1 cube .... +1.93 1 r
player opp owns 2 cube .... +3.43 n/a
j.s.d. <= vs. no double
player opp drops .... +1.00 2 s
j.s.d. <= vs. no double
Whereas if you're rolling out a take, you get the same 3 lines, but
the no-double first line is always 'n/a' and the ranking can only pick
the take and drop decisions. The j.s.d. will always be the same as the
s.d. of the take decision. We'll rollout the no-double as long as we
are still rolling out the take (so that the data will be available for
the examining the double decision). And, as mentioned before, equities
and results will be presented in terms of the taker, not the doubler.
