Game Theory

Election Campaign

Started my own personal involvement in the General Election this week, helping out with delivering some leaflets. I was paired up with a guy who is standing for the local council, his reasoning for doing it was very admirable, (he wanted to create a legacy) but I still feel local politics is a lot of hassle for very little reward.

I am still fascinated by the polling situation and how the various groups can get a feel for where they are in the polls, all the polls are telling us at the moment is that it is going to be very close.

Game Theory

This seems to be a bit of a buzz word at the moment, I have done some research and it basically works on the very reasonable assumption that everyone makes decisions based on their personal gain, the text I read gave an incredible example using Mother Teresa, questioning why she sought publicity and fame.

Cricket World Cup

The scheduling of this is just baffling, how England can go from having 3 games in a week and then having an 8 day break. The competition has had some good games but the format is still not right, the tournament has lost its way ever since associate members have been involved. In my mind top 8 teams should all play each other just like in 1992.

Darts

On a personal note I hit my first maximum last week, which shows the more you practice the luckier you get.
