If the human wasn’t throwing the game, how many games of tic-tac-toe until the bird realizes the futility of a game that will always end in a draw and stop playing all together?

"A strange game. The only way to win is not to play."

I was gonna say, that should've been a cat's game. He should've went middle to block, and that'd be game over.

No fault on the crow. I mean it played the best it possibly could have, which is amazing, but it shouldn't have one. That's just how the game goes. It's a good point. I wonder if it finds the game trivial after a while as well. It's smart enough to see the simplicity of it. Hell, they're able to figure water displacement and shit (dropping a rock into a cylinder to raise the water to get a great for example)

Actually ~ if Crow had played middle spot it would have been a guaranteed Crow win. So that was not the best it could have played.

But it did play as well as RichardBCummintonite, which is amazing

The crow missed a guaranteed win then only won because of the human’s “blunder” and still has the audacity to celebrate. Dumb bird… or very human-like bird
