Original calculations pre Global Food. Script.
3xTFP 4x2 1xGF → 25.3 accesses mean
1xTFP 4x2 3xGF → 23.2 accesses mean
I’d like to do some calculation with Film Critic too, since I feel that if Film Critic is everywhere you prefer Global Food to TFP but I’m not sure how prevalent it has to be. For the following I assumed that TFP has 90% chance to get stolen, because the runner can hold multiaccess events until they have Film Critic out. It’s easy to change the percent though.
In Film Critic world:
3xTFP 4x2 1xGF → 19.1 accesses mean
1xTFP 4x2 3xGF → 20.8 accesses mean
f = Film Critic play percentage.
g = percentage running 3xGF
RP payoffs:
3GF → 20.8f + 23.2(1-f) = 23.2 - 2.4f
3TFP → 19.1f + 25.3(1-f) = 25.3 - 6.2f
Equating: 25.3 - 6.2f = 23.2 - 2.4f
2.1 = 3.8f
f=55%
So if you expect more than half of people to have Film Critic, 3x GFI might be better (note I ignored the influence cost).
I was going to do a similar analysis for when you should play Film Critic but noticed that FC dominates no FC. So I guess we are all playing FC and 3xGF now.
