Title say sit all, I made a histogram of the 35 months we have luck% on our stats. I threw out all players with less than 35 games to remove unrelevant luck% but still, thats over 3400 data points.
http://i56.tinypic.com/k9syol.jpg I's a nice gaussian bell curve as expected, only not averaging at 50% but at 49,2 81% of the data points are found in the 48,7-49,6% range; 92% in the 48,5-49,8% range There aren't too many monthly outliers, I expected more but then again, cursed accounts will have a hard time getting a medal. player-----games---luck% fiero600----139--45,5% Dice!-------229--45,8% fiero600----62---46,2% CoMik-------64---46,7% fiero600----42---47,0% jpc4p-------73---47,1% Bombardier DS 65--211---47,3% on the other side of the curve, only one true outlier, ironically by the guy who always complains about his amazing bad luck mrRo: Kehoe 54 games 50,9% Magic Roundabout 70 games 51,2% mrRo 130 games 55,2% |

at 10:30 AM, Saturday December 11, 2010 EST my bad luck started, when I started sharing my acct with RND
every acct that he touched = auto cursed all the truly cursed accts started in 11/08 right after Ryan said he would handle the point whores and/or ppl who didnt have the game's best interest at heart I have noticed some ppl experience bad luck after canceling their membership |

I think it's high time that any admission of any cheating is met with BAN. Dirty ugly cheats. |

at 4:08 PM, Sunday December 12, 2010 EST Back in 2008 I remember suggesting to Ryan that he could deal with undesirables by adjusting their luck downward slightly, making the game less fun for them, and eventually making them give up.
Maybe he did take my suggestion. |
