Here's the second game of Hermit Island. Check out the first game here. All rules are the same - no posting where you played or PMs allowed.

In this game, you are a hermit who has just sailed to a previously uninhabited island. You have a map of the island, which just happens to be a perfect circle with a radius of 100 km, and have to decide where to settle and build your hermit hut based on the map. But wait! It just happens that 14 other hermits have landed on the island at the same time! As a hermit, you want to live as far away from your neighbors as possible. In particular, you want to maximize the distance between you and your nearest neighboring hermit.

Here's the island:


To play, you have to choose where to build your hermit hut on Hermit Island. You must choose a point in the (x,y) plane that is within a distance of 100 (km) from (0,0). Once there are 15 hermits living on Hermit Island, the winner will be the hermit who chooses a point furthest away from its nearest neighbor. It is somewhat likely (though not guaranteed) that two hermits will be tied because their distance from each other is the same and closer than from any other hermit. In this case, ties will be broken by whoever is further from second nearest neighbor, then third nearest neighbor, etc.

Here are the logistics: You must post in this thread and PM me your point. Your point must be of the form (x,y), where x and y are decimal numbers with at most 2 digits past the decimal - if you want to choose (sqrt(2)*pi*e, 0), do the math yourself and submit (12.08, 0). Make sure your point is within the island's radius of 100 km.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Can we just start? I mean this islands already pretty crowded, I hate the idea of someone living as close as 50km away from me. I just want to be alone :(

Nope, we need to wait for the other hermits.

(In all seriousness, the number of players could affect where people choose to play, so we should wait for the full 15).

That's why I went first, so as not to get bogged down with important strategy decisions. :)

Absolutely. That post was 100% non-serious.

Now go away. I want to be alone.

(This post is only... uh, now, 66% serious)
