contents In this note, we propose an alternative definition of strategies and histories in opportunity hunting games, as introduced in Eilat, Neeman and Solan (2025). The advantage of the formulation presented here is that it encompasses a broader class of strategies than the inertial strategies analyzed in Eilat, Neeman and Solan (2025), including those that allow for a countably infinite number of inspections within finite time intervals. Although the definitions of histories and strategies in this broader setting are more subtle, we show that the main results continue to hold. This demonstrates that the findings in Eilat, Neeman and Solan (2025) are robust to environments in which players have access to a richer strategy space.
