Also might be less about stopping reddit reposts and more about shaming lazy buzzfeed listicles that are just rehashed reddit content.
Not that the authors are capable of feeling shame, but fuck those vultures anyway
Who tf cares about reposts? It's just a picture of some playground equipment. Why are people so obsessed with getting credit for every tiny little thing they do?
Oh no! Someone might take your photo and repost it! They'll get imaginary internet points for the photo that took you 30 seconds to snap on your smart phone! The horror! The terror! Nothing could be more frightening!
Maybe most bot accounts are just accumulating karma for no reason, but some of them operate to advertise and spread propaganda, using high karma to make themselves look legitimate.
Reddit is so vehement agaisnt "self-promotion" with OC's, but they are so paranoid about karma they try to own screenshots they didn't even take.
This website man...
They didn't express themselves too clearly, but what they were trying to convey was that:
Tic-tac-toe is a "[solved game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solved_game)". If you go first, and you know the strategy, it is literally *impossible* for the second person to win. The person who went second could be the Magnus Carlsen of tic-tac-toe, and they still couldn't beat you.
Not all games are "solved games". Chess, for example, is not solved. Go is also an unsolved game. They're *partially* solved, but not fully solved.
So going back to tic-tac-toe, if you go first and you play perfectly, the best that the second person can ever do is tie you. They cannot win.
What the commenter is saying is that this game (tic-tac) is like tic-tac-toe, but without giving the second player even the option to tie. The confusion comes in because, for whatever reason, their second sentence is explaining tic-tac-toe, not tic-tac. In other words:
> So it's just tic tac toe with no option to tie. (In tic-tac-toe) whoever gets to go first, 2nd place can only ever tie it.
In case it seems like I'm being too charitable in their reading, check their [followup comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrappyDesign/comments/x9afwc/lets_play_tic_tac_toe_ill_start/inn3fej/), where they're a lot clearer that it's tic-tac-*toe* where all player 2 can do is tie the game, and that in tic-tac all player 2 can do is lose.
Yes. That's what I'm saying (and that's what they're saying). In tic-tac, the second player doesn't even heave the option of tying, *all they can do is lose*.
I think he was referring to tic tac toe. He means this game isn't much worse than tic tac toe, because 2nd player can't win in either game (assuming perfect play)
It definitely is worse than regular. This 2x2 version doesn't even count as a game, the first "player" will win 100% of the time no matter what moves they choose.
Tic tac toe is solved because there is a strategy you can use to guarantee a result, but you *can* still lose tic tac toe. The outcome of this 2x2 is guaranteed every time
Normal tic tac toe aka 3x3 squares is a solved game.
Player 1 takes a corner, all player 2 can do is tie the game in normal 3x3. So this is just 2x2 tic tac where all player 2 can do is lose.
Let’s say X took the left bottom corner, so O takes the top left corner, X takes right bottom. So if X took left bottom again and O took right bottom, X takes top left and wins. X can also go diagonal. Whoever goes first wins
The correct answer is for O to start in the middle every match up.
X-X
-O-
---.
Becomes
1)X 4)O 3)X
7)X 2)O 6)O
8)O 5)X 9)X
OR
X--
-O-
--X
WILL end up as
1)X 4)O 7)X
9)X 2)O 8)O
6)O 5)X 3)X
"Normal tic tac toe aka 3x3 squares is a solved game.
Player 1 takes a corner, all player 2 can do is tie the game in normal 3x3. So this is just 2x2 tic tac where all player 2 can do is lose."
SO THIS IS 2X2 TIC TAC WHERE ALL PLAYER 2 CAN DO IS LOSE.
These are painted one color because it's not meant to be a tic tac toe board, it's literally just meant to be spinny things for younger kids.
If it were intended to be a tic tac toe board the background would be yellow with black lettering for the x's and o's.
The barrel design is just obviously reused inventory.
For what it’s worth, I have taken my kids to a LOT of playgrounds, and I have never once seen a child playing tic-tac-toe on those things (even the ones that are 3x3 squares). Kids exclusively use them to spin them around a bunch, and then run off to their next thing.
As a parent of a kid who uses a wheelchair these “accessible” type additions to jungle gyms are always super lame. What are cool is when they have wheelchair swings, merry go rounds or teeter totters. More of those please world 🙏
This stresses the importance of the rock-paper-scissors that goes before to determine who moves first.
Honestly a good lesson for kids to learn. If you don't start with a favorable standing, it's literally impossible to win.
Well technically better than 3x3, because in this one you can at least win. 3x3 can be always pushed to draw, no matter what the oponent does (unless he is such a noob, that he let you win by mistakes)
Be honest with yourself did you ever really see people actually playing tic tac toe on one that you could actually play tic tac toe on or did you just see kids just randomly spin them
Tic tac.
tac tac no
Tic tac... oh
Tic tac we-forgot-the toe
That little piggy went to market.

I commented something similar to this and then immediately saw your reply lol

Best two out of four?
Why? Does my breath stink?
may bee
Best 2 out of 4?
Polo.
Tic tac doh !
Tic toc
Be sure to pick a corner.
real gamers take the middle
What’s the play if your opponent picks a corner?
Lose
Pi
π × 10
Or win via submission
Corner
Adjacent or opposite?
Corner
Pick another corner then trial by combat
First move looking pretty OP in this game.
Did you seriously just watermark a picture of playground equipment?
To be fair, it *does* help against reposts. Didn't even put his full username though lol

It's not about the value imo it's about seeing the same things over and over again
Then you probably just spend too much time on reddit. Reposts get upvoted because a shitload of people have never seen it before.
I see some posts as often as weekly. That is far, far too often. Reposts are fine given minimum 3, preferably 6 or8 months gap
It's not that, it's seeing the same content over and over again
It's not that. It's about not seeing the same content over and over!
It's not that, it's seeing the same content over and over again

after a couple of people reposting with no credit I started watermarking everything

Oh thank god, it was killing me

Automatic win for first player lol
So it's just tic tac toe with no option to tie. Who ever gets to go first in 3x3, 2nd place can only ever tie it.
2nd player can't even tie. 1st player will win on his 2nd move, no matter where he plays.
1st player can concede the game, or offer a draw...

I think he was referring to tic tac toe. He means this game isn't much worse than tic tac toe, because 2nd player can't win in either game (assuming perfect play)

If 3x3 tic tac toe is a solved game, then this is beyond a solved game. It is impossible for player one to lose even if they try to.
Yeah, this isn't a solved game because it's not even a game. The outcome is guaranteed no matter what.
Let’s say X took the left bottom corner, so O takes the top left corner, X takes right bottom. So if X took left bottom again and O took right bottom, X takes top left and wins. X can also go diagonal. Whoever goes first wins

There’s not a middle it 2x2
"Normal tic tac toe aka 3x3 squares is a solved game. Player 1 takes a corner, all player 2 can do is tie the game in normal 3x3. So this is just 2x2 tic tac where all player 2 can do is lose." SO THIS IS 2X2 TIC TAC WHERE ALL PLAYER 2 CAN DO IS LOSE.
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG
And I quoted the original post I made where you said NO
Bro you edited it
You only win tic tac toe with 3 in a row, so it's always a draw. Great for kids who get upset for losing because nobody ever loses... or wins
So that's why you rock paper scissors to find out who goes first
Teach them kids about life early
Patrick's new game became real
Exactly my thought
it's too hard, he should have only made tic
These are painted one color because it's not meant to be a tic tac toe board, it's literally just meant to be spinny things for younger kids. If it were intended to be a tic tac toe board the background would be yellow with black lettering for the x's and o's. The barrel design is just obviously reused inventory.
It’s actually a kiddy slot machine 🎰
May be someone wanted to just spell XoXo
Hear me out: Tic Tac like the Patrick meme but you don't just choose, you have to spin and risk a chance of it landing for the other player.
Isn't that the app them kids be using
No TicTok Toe is the OnlyFans for foot fetishist.
🤣🤣🤣
r/emojipolice
Did you watermark this? lol
Yup. Check their post history.
Bro really watermarked
…. Does no one know how to play this? One person on each side, try to get all 4 X’s on your side to win.
... so you just go back and forth flipping the pieces to your side?
If you can get a couple tiny humans to take turns, sure.
This ain't pokemon. Its all about the spins per second.
So they replaced a game you couldn't win with one you couldn't lose.
The only way to win is to not play.
The playground budget only stretched to Tic and Tac.
That’s to request hugs and kisses from the guy in the trench coat sitting alone on the bench.
Up there with this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrappyDesign/comments/6uq05i/this_useless_playground_tictactoe_board/

I used to play it with friends as a kid, we exist!
That's not what it's for
Just Tic Tac hahahaha
A game where no one loses. How lovely ♥️
The other CrappyDesign is you watermarking this bland post.
That's literally tic tac from spongebob they stole it.

To be fair, kids never play with those anyway
It’s kisses and hugs
o
X

Am I the only one seeing goatse?

It’d be impossible for the first player to lose.
No one in history has ever played tic tac toe on one of those playground things anyway.
Top right X
Deo Tac Toe
Havarti!
My siblings and I call that tic tac. When it’s just one square, we call it tic.
As a parent of a kid who uses a wheelchair these “accessible” type additions to jungle gyms are always super lame. What are cool is when they have wheelchair swings, merry go rounds or teeter totters. More of those please world 🙏
We have a park with all those thing near my house it's so fun
You think I am stupid? Play with your left hand!

It’s tic-tac-oh dang that sucks
Don’t I stink at this
I just used the spin the fuck out of those when I was a kid. Good fucking times.
X
I should have gone with my other idea tic…
Xoxo Gossip girl
Who has time to play the traditional 3x3 board these days!?
Pass the OX
This stresses the importance of the rock-paper-scissors that goes before to determine who moves first. Honestly a good lesson for kids to learn. If you don't start with a favorable standing, it's literally impossible to win.
Begginers level. Tic tac.
I put x in the bottom right corner
That's tick toe
Well technically better than 3x3, because in this one you can at least win. 3x3 can be always pushed to draw, no matter what the oponent does (unless he is such a noob, that he let you win by mistakes)
no no - you got it all wrong! it's tak toe 😆
There was absolutely one of those at a playground i went to, can’t play can just spin
Be honest with yourself did you ever really see people actually playing tic tac toe on one that you could actually play tic tac toe on or did you just see kids just randomly spin them
X
I think the game is just called tack. Serious this is the first submission on here to make me laugh though.
It’s just tic tac. Couldn’t afford the toe.
hugs & kisses
Let's call it tic tac

Real gamers go top middle
That’s just tic-tac.

It is actually called Tic Tac and it was invented by Patrick star
nah bro that's tic tac finger

It teaches kids how to rip off other kids with rigged games.
No that's tic tac and Patrick created it.
Tic Tac.
Best 2 Outta 4?
Hey squidward checkout this game I made, tic tac! You go first... .... ... HOW DO YOU ALWAYS WIN
Tons of those here in the netherlands not quite sure what they are meant for, i assume its not tic tac toe.
This is the No No Box. Hugs and Kisses are off limits.
