That's not at all a property of the system. It's an emergent property of us all being extremely irrational. As has been pointed out, the Nash equilibrium here is everybody submitting 0.
But regardless, I don't see how that addresses my concern that the rule change mid-game seems to target a particular player who has been executing a strategy that most likely depends on the assumption that the rules would stay the same for the duration of the game.
Strategy? Pfff. This is the High Number Death Game.
EDIT: I think it was never Error1's intention to win.
I like the cap always inflating. I'll set up the next thread right now.
Games apparently over.
Will you run more CGB? Else I'll run #8.
Saved yourself about 88000 points, anyway.
Casually takes a 60 point lead.
EDIT: No wait, that was the last round! I just walked into the win on that one.
Push it to the limit!

He sent me a PM with 24200 on it.
WHAAAAAAAAAT?
Well, that's one more spot for me!
Your high score was pretty much unreachable for me, so now I've got a better shot of getting there.
Strategy? Pfff. This is the High Number Death Game.
EDIT: I think it was never Error1's intention to win.
That would be CSI Miami. So in a way, yes.
Oh my bad. Sometimes I misread like that.
You can still just hold your finger on a number until it's thousands of digits long.
I think the cap is a fair one.
