First player will be determined randomly
X and O will also be determined randomly
I will use random.wa

Rules.
The object of Noughts and Crosses is to get a winning line of three Noughts or three Crosses in either a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row.

The Noughts and Crosses board is a square grid containing nine squares arranged in threes.

 The game is played by two people who either play as Noughts (Os) or Crosses ( Xs). They can either be drawn or objects resembling these two options can be used. In giant noughts and crosses for example, the two objects are the noughts and crosses themselves.

The player with the Xs starts the game by positioning his X in a square. The player with the Os follows and both players take turns to move and occupy the squares of the grid trying to make a row of three and at the same time also block their opponent.

We will not be playing with any expansions or add on's or special rules.

Experienced players only for the first game please

Dude, you've got 1234 posts. That's cool. This, however is not.

[Insomniac]

Maybe in time

But there is a hidden depth of strategy to this version that few people fail to get.

Where's that +10,000 button?

[Brando Commando]

I feel like there are some complex theoretical issues brought up by the rules that you ought to explore before beginning to play.

[Watno]

Is the middle space strictly better than all the others?

[Insomniac]

Is the middle space strictly better than all the others?

The estimated value of the first turn center space is certainly the highest.

The Center?
Pah, only Jerks go for the center...

[Voltgloss]

Jerks win.

[Watno]

I guess jerks tie

I see commonalities here, is this a DXV game?  Given first player advantage, is there some sort of bidding process to obtain first player position?  My boast:

Given enough monkeys and enough typewriters, I can teach a chicken to play this game, while juggling (me juggling, not the chicken.)

I can do that With Drunk Chickens, while standing on my head reciting the entire Odyssey and Illiad, backwards, in Greek.

So is this just giant tic-tac-toe?

No its 2 man 3x3 normal tic-tac-toe

I'll play some Battle of Wits. I'm good at that. It's a game where you decide and we both drink. Then we see who is right, and who is dead.

Seems like there'd be an awful lot of "oh I think this but wait maybe that's what he wants me to think" in that game. OITTBWMTWHWMTT for short.

That's not a number. Better luck next time, SFS!

Then I yield, good sir, in deference to your (strictly?) superior abilities. Pray cast the first mark, and may the gods below grant me the luck needed to force a draw. 

(FWIW, the chickens being drunk is what got you there.  Drunk chickens are almost as funny as drunk ravens.)

My GF is sitting here wondering why I'm still laughing 10 minutes and 3 readings later.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Why am I in permanent bold?

[Insomniac]

You didn't close the b tag. I'll close it for you hopefully that fixes it

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

And why are the titles in my avatar in bold?

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Test

[Insomniac]

Oh you used pointy brackets...</b></b>

[Insomniac]

Fixed.

[Voltgloss]

It's all Galz's fault.

[Galzria]

Stop derailing the thread!

[Galzria]

It's all Galz's fault.

It may be, but I claim Ethical high ground.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Yeah, I didn't call for any bold in my response to Galz.  I withdraw my comment about his superior abilities.

FoS: Galz, for spreading a bold virus.

[Insomniac]

I let theory know about the issue here http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5359.0

It's if you QUOTE a post that has html markup language, now please don't use this power for evil.

[Insomniac]

Also in regards to the original post and because I want to see the sick flavour ozle gives this game (and not leaving Kuildeous hanging).

/IN

Bring the flavour Ozle.

I DID go back and edit to fix the problem in my original post, however the issue will persist if anybody quotes SFS quoting me.

I knew what you meant.  My comment was self-deprecating.  I'd like to think I threw some meta into ZM3, but I can't talk about it yet.

I feel the love, so thanks.

Hell if they could make Battleships into a movie then this sholudnt be hard....oh wait it was a terrible movie!
