"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.

and by that all i mean thanks for your dedication and time.

but go fluff yourself

You forgot to carry the 1 dude.

lol as if bro

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

there is a bugs and suggestions forum, take it there 4th tier!

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

oh scode i took it there nub.
and i already hit express forum as well

this was just me being a top 100 ATer of all time BOSS man

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%

...

dude this was a troll post.

lol.

*all the cool kids point and laugh*

With as many times as you've posted it... seriously, GFY

Troll post or not, some whiney fluff is going to be all upset because they sent 10% and get screwed on two hits.

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?

I think it just means that you attack too much Vic to hit that .01%

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.

medic - go f. u. c. k. yourself in your face you fruit

I obviously just became tier 1 then. I just learned to grab on my own after years....I haven't failed once!! You have dropped levels then Vic. Sad day!

Screw grabbing.. I'm more pissed with Sdi lol... 85% Sdi stops on avg 55% of the nukes sent my way, I meanwhile I launch 15 missiles at some guy with 50% Sdi and only 3 went through..

Conspiracy I say heh!

he has more luck bonus than you

Yeah the SDI changes suck..so does luck affect EVERY aspect of your country?

I think it's the Conspiracy bonus, I don't even have access to it on my screen :(

Unnecessary roughness, Vic. Enough already.

he did go a little overboard.. but i had this happen to me the other night. a coder for a hosting site even did my math after i failed.. and his conclusion was i still should have broke

.

so no. i didn't go overboard.

this is a forum for an online text based war game.
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.

^^that is light hearted in nature.

10 yard penalty!

2 minutes to go automatic review of play !

THIS THREAD IS CLOSED UNTIL THE GREAT DIBS IMPARTS UPON US HIS PROPHETIC PROSE

so glad there is an ignore button on the forums.

If you ignore me I will hunt you down and smother you in Nutella, iZ. :p

iZarcon, hmm apparently developed EE yet i've never once heard of him from 2025 ...
hrmmmmm ....

interesting how that happens ...

two earth quakes in 4 turns, i see how you are responding to this thread, qz ;)

how unobservant of you to have missed me

well know. you were in imag. and your earthwiki states that you brought imag out of the war with the netting tag horizon. OMG THE EPIC NETTING TAG HORIZON
lol wtf is horizon?
wtf is imag?

dont know that stuff.


teach me.



plus i thought i was on ignore?

someone obviously doesnt understand the english language very well. i never stated that i put anyone on ignore. i'm not sure i even mentioned your name.

oh, and I think patience could teach you a thing or two about horizon. not that i really think you care.

Okay, now you've hit me where I live, Vic. *sniffle*

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)?

Tafkas, Hunty, Steam cat, Ghost, me, Don and his brother (Hal?), hmmm who else...

Don Haldor and Eldor. ;) And Cerberus, and Goofy, and Ronnie, and all the NoN folks who joined us early on... Who else? It was great!

You forgot a zero.

I think I hit the 0.01% 3 or 4 times last set in primary. I always send a few thousand over the 10% too. I was pretty pissed as well.

Funny, I knew zarcon in 2025...matter a fact he was once president of imag.
In other news...just because you didn't hear of someone, doesn't mean they were not around.

as galli said

heh uh you guys are duds.

i know zarcon but i was making light of imag's 5th tier status :p
i do it to galleri all the time and she likes it!

and i know horizon quite well :)

If QZ had not already added code specifically targeted for Vic before now, I'm betting it just made his to-do list.

good lord this is a lot of argument with my name in it lol... i didn't see this until now...

He doesn't need to. Vic just sucks at math because he's not Asian enough.

While I appreciate being in your memories, Patty. I don't think I ever played for Horizon. :)

no posts by cerb related to horizon.

lol rockman.
i won't disagree with that.


hi qz i love you!!

Ahh... I think I confused you with Hoochy. Lol
