Dec 4, 2022 at 17:24 comment added Joel David Hamkins Yes, I was going to suggest descending for $\tau(p)\leq p$.

Dec 4, 2022 at 16:17 comment added Joel David Hamkins Not that I am aware.
Dec 4, 2022 at 16:16 comment added Monroe Eskew @JoelDavidHamkins You’re right that they’re equivalent, but I’m not sure a strictly decreasing strategy plays much role in arguments. Does it?
Dec 4, 2022 at 14:52 comment added Joel David Hamkins Ah, but I see that you actually wanted $\tau(p)\leq p$, which isn't quite the same as what is usually called regressive. Why do you allow the reflexive play? I guess it is to handle the case that the poset has atoms. But that case is basically trivial since player II would go immediately for the atoms. Since I think of the atomless case as the main case, and player I can gain no advantage with reflexive play, I usually think about the game as having strictly descending play.

Dec 4, 2022 at 14:14 comment added Monroe Eskew @JoelDavidHamkins Thanks, I agree.
Dec 4, 2022 at 14:13 comment added Joel David Hamkins Monroe, you call a tactic a decreasing function, but I would want to call it a regressive function, since what you want is $\tau(p)<p$, rather than $q<p\to\tau(q)<\tau(p)$.

Dec 2, 2022 at 14:31 comment added Asaf Karagila @Joel: Interesting you say that. Every time I try to count the types of chocolate, there seem to be new ones. I can only conclude that there are uncountably many types, and therefore, you seem to be saying, gluttony is a bad way to experience chocolate...
Dec 2, 2022 at 14:04 comment added Joel David Hamkins Sorry the relevant post for the Chocolatier's game is mathoverflow.net/a/401136/1946, since that is where I prove there is no winning tactic for the Glutton, if there are uncountably many chocolate types.
Dec 2, 2022 at 13:37 comment added Monroe Eskew @AsafKaragila Oh sorry, my eyes skipped over "club shooting." This one is distributive, but it is not $\sigma$-strategically closed, because one can use the strategy to build a generic condition over any sufficiently elementary countable model.
Dec 2, 2022 at 13:36 comment added Joel David Hamkins A similar distinction appears in the Chocolatier's game, where the Glutton has a winning strategy, but no winning tactic. mathoverflow.net/questions/401151/… But I don't see immediately how to transform this to your setting, so I'm not sure whether this is helpful.
Dec 2, 2022 at 13:29 comment added Asaf Karagila Club shooting cannot be $\sigma$-closed, since it would imply it being proper and therefore SSP, and the whole point is to destroy the stationarity of a set. There is a classical theorem that it is $\sigma$-distributive, but I think you can also show that it is in fact strategically closed.
Dec 2, 2022 at 13:14 comment added Monroe Eskew @AsafKaragila The examples like that are all countably closed, as far as I know, but they serve to show for example that being $\omega_1+1$-strategically closed is weaker than some other closure notions.
Dec 2, 2022 at 13:09 comment added Asaf Karagila Isn't something with add or threading squares/club shooting/something like that an example?
Dec 2, 2022 at 12:41 comment added Monroe Eskew @AsafKaragila A bit. It is hard to find examples that are not just forcing-equivalent to countably closed. Jech and Shelah show that consistently such an example exists, but it is somewhat complicated and I don't know if it is tacitcally closed. A google search suggests that my question may be equivalent to a long-standing open problem in topology.
Dec 2, 2022 at 10:18 comment added Asaf Karagila Have you looked at the standard examples of strategically closed forcings?
