"ok just sent 525 to a dict with 380 before dict bonus.
380*1.25 = 475,000

475*1.1 = 522.5


so i will require an explanation from QZ immediately."

being qz'ed should only happen if you fall short of 10%.

the 99.99% thing needs to change, and i will also require the algorithm for this because i am certain the chance of failing on an oversend of 10% is not accurately stated.

It's a gaussian curve. qz'd can happen even if you oversend by 100%. It's just far less likely

rockman i understand what they state it is.

i am suggesting it is not that at all.

i have failed well more than what might consider statistically reasonable for 10% oversends. i suspect the code is flawed or there is no gaussian curve present

Um, a .01% chance doesn't mean you will win 99.99 percent of the time.

It's just like "100 year floods"... There is a 1 in 100 chance that you will meet the previous historic "100 year" level, or exceed it, in any given year.

Furthermore, numbers from one player are rather irrelevant. If you were to take numbers from the entire server, for attacks with a 10% oversend, and graph the data... I'm sure that if there was a way to get that data (all attacks w/ 10% oversend), that the mean+median+mode would be almost exactly .01%

hrm.

for starters i never suggested that a .01% chance means that i should win 99.99% of the time.

but i did suggest that questions should be raised when something with a stated chance of success of 99.99% produces an astronomical # of failed events.
and it's a forum for this online text based game, so why not troll on ingame events?

entertaining post. got you to comment huh assfluff?

heh but in all honesty i really do think it's time to change the break formula to 100% success for 10% oversends.

chance events are fine for things like earthquakes and food surplus etc, but i really would like to see 10% oversends at 100% success.

that was more or less the ounce of genuine thought present in this thread.

this is not the public policy forum at harvard's kennedy school of govt.

qz is an old friend. he knows i am clearly joking here and simply raising attention on 10% oversends.

so no unnecessary roughness at all, patty.

Horizon was my baby for a year or so, until I got too busy with work to take care of it and the people I left in charge attacked my friends with it. :p. and then I shut it down.

Now seriously... Can't we stop ranting and talk about fluffy Bunnies or something (who was also in Horizon, btw)?
