That was helpful, thanks! That would have been difficult for me to find otherwise.

I think Wesnoth is a good strategy game for honing one's skills as a Bayesian. There is non-determinism in the game mechanics that require one to integrate numerous probabilistic events to be an effective player.

It's somewhat annoying that I can't post until I get karma.

By posting a comment in the welcome thread you can pretty reliably get enough karma to post in the discussion section.

One word: spambots.

But do you find it annoying that other people can't post until they get karma? Do you wish there were more top-level posts by people with no karma?

(or, to make even more of a leading question, do you wish that new people who had an idea for a post but no karma didn't lurk and comment for a week or two before showing their idea?)
