I just had a very funny game where I did not win a single attack (4v4 4v4, 4v3 all lost) and still resulted in 44% luck... Fantastic. I did not defend either btw...
The most funny part was that some creep told me that in rolling off the defendant had better chances. I then got called rude for calling him a braindead noob... Is there a way to get rid of people like that? I mean to say, it is hard enough that we have to accept preschool math in the stats, but walking anencephaly in chat? |

at 11:31 AM, Friday April 16, 2010 EDT the problem with this math is that for a round 1 loss, there is no ratio that would yield 41:59. the closest is 3/7:4/7, which should be 43:57, or 5/12:7/12, which should yield 41.66:58.33, and ryan has a rounding error.
so either: -7 rolls-- louis had 3 attacks and 4 defends and ryan's coding really sucks. -12 rolls- louis omitted 2 attacks, and maybe the code truncates the attack # so that 41.66 just becomes 41 and the defend # = 100 - attack. -I didn't think of another ratio? Or |
