I think I've found the key to the RNG's behavior - he's a sucker for heroism, that's what! Go up against bad odds, sacrifice yourself in order to maim, and you can be sure the RNG will find a soft spot for you. First Beorn's warrior, then his valiantly defending spearman, then Whomp's infamous warrior hero, and now:

3/3 rJag vs 4/4 vMW => 1/3 rJag

My Jags running around in Beorn-land on the other hand were cut down as the wimps they were, trying to run away. ;)

EDIT: Just to clarify, the battle that the log speaks of took place in the south, though I'm sure you figured that out already.

Nice new Avatar Whomp - I feel like I've seen that painting before... what is it? (please excuse my lack of culture :blush: )

GPS Whomper

GPS to Niklas.

Gen_W the name of the painting is "Le Reve" and is a portrait of Picasso's lover.
The way the picture may be familiar to you is it's the same one that casino owner Steve Wynn sold to a hedge fund manager for $139 million last year.....until he crashed his elbow through it when he was about to transfer it to its new owner in Vegas. :eek:

Apparently he said "Oh poop" after he did it.
.

"oh poop" :lol: I believe my reaction would have been something like that!

I actually hadn't heard that story! Thanks for the laugh. :D

You just in a Picasso mood these days?

Haha, I remember that story. Maybe in the future the painting (after restoration) will be worth even more because of it's illustrious history, eh? :lol:

:lol:

19 kids, apparently, for me :D not too bad I guess.

I think I got most of my points from that StarCraft question.
2 Bunkers, 3 marines and a firebat in each, backed up by 2 siege tanks, a missile tower, and an SCV for repairs.
That’s right. You heard me son. Bring it!

EDIT: By the way... what kind of company is this that you work for anyway?!?

EDIT2: And my wife scored 14 kids. She had trouble with the morality questions :lol:

22. No morality troubles here. They join the fight voluntarily, right? :D

If they joined it justified, like avoiding tooth brushing or getting their share of chocolate, I'd might be less confident... :mischief:

My wife would certainly score zero (if she would answer questions like that)...

25 :smug:

I'm pretty sure all morality issues would go out the window after about 0.36 seconds, for anyone who got pitched into a fight like that. ;)

I can beat 25. Plus I have a 69% chance of surviving a zombie apocolypse (http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/zombie) I wonder how many 5 year old zombies I could beat? :hmm:

My favorite answer: To hell with morality, I'd be too busy pile-driving, crane-kicking, and bare-knuckle bashing them all the way back to kintergarten

Meh, I'm too weak-hearted. But in the event of a zombie apocalypse I'd say 44% survival chance is pretty good.

I got 30, the only morality issue I got is the dirty fighting. But yeah, after a good half second of pitting myself against bloodthirsty kindergarteners, it'd probably go out as well.

I tinkered around and I think the maximum is 39. Nonsense, I've trained with people I wouldn't attack if there were 40 of myselves. They should score a few hundreds and go out by exhaustion in the end.

I'm not as good with zombies though, 45%, probably because guns are a race that is next to extinct in Canada.
EDIT: By the way... what kind of company is this that you work for anyway?!?
If the question was for me, I'm still a student but I got hired as a college math prof starting this winter.

Yeah - I was asking you, Beorn.
Math prof, eh? I hope you're one of the cool ones!

I got a 65% Zombie Apocalypse survival score - I think I'm a little too tender, but made up for it by living in the country and owning a shotgun! :lol:

Hey Whomp - what are your odds of surviving an Enkidu Apocalypse?
It's still your turn. :)

19 on the kids score - A little to nice, since I have a 5yo of my own.

9 5 yr olds for me. But that's ok - I don't think more than 8 could cooperate long enough to be a problem.

28 5 year olds for me. I have no issue tossing kindergarteners at each other...

Merry Xmas all! Sorry for the delay however holiday cocktails and Enkidu apocalypses don't mix very well.

This is what my stomach said after some tequila last night.

Some recent highlights (ignoring the battle results that fell within expected ranges)

Turn 89:
Council loses an 84% odds to win battle.

Turn 90:
Council loses a 89% odds-to-win battle.
Bears win 3 straight battles that each only have a 55% chance to win.

Turn 91:
Bears win a 39% battle and 35% battle back to back – and every battle that turn without fail.

Turn 94:
Council loses a 92% odds to win battle.

Last turn:
Bears win a flawless stream of 6 battles, odds of winning on each are between 48% and 63% at the highest.

Seems like I'm detecting a trend there…
And that's not even going all the way back the original warrior of doom who could win battles with the odds 98% against him.

So basically, this thread should be called the "Niklas & cubfan6506 v Whomp & Beorn-el-Feared & RNG" thread.

Does this mean Niklas and I can get a third player to join our team? :mischief:

I thought you guys already had Murphy with you? :rolleyes: :D

Well, I did have a rJag beat a vMW at one point, that must have been ~35% or something. :mischief:

Nice try there, taking the mountain was a mighty scary move.

GPS Niklas, and no need to play shy up there, the catapults were throwing welcoming cards, I assure you.

Unbelievable… thus ends the first and second pillaging raids without a single tile pillaged… :cry:

Nicely played.

Nicely done B. I'm back so I can take turns again. I'm pretty sure after my original tactical blunder we are (and were) much better off with you battling these turns. :blush:

But won't y'all be lonely without me? :mischief:

Sorry for the delay, I was struck with a bad headache yesterday and couldn't bring myself to play. I'll get to it in a few (4?) hours.

I think those were aztec swords...

Oh...got it. Well those Aztecs are toast. Edited. :D

Holy crap - I got the e-mail saying Sumerian swords and about had a heart-attack - wondering where you were attacking me! :lol:

At least they didn't go down alone this time... ;)

And grand turn 100 to General_W! [party]

100 turns in 5 months. Not too shabby :thumbsup:
Nice work gentlemen!
GPS to Beorn.

(or – that's 96 turns since I took over on September 19th of 2007 … which is when the game really began ;) )

Happy C ! :D

B--can you send the save again? I ever deleted it or it wasn't sent.

I changed the subject for turn 100, could be why. Re-sent.

OK got it. GPS to Niklas.

And props to the NY Giants! :wow: didn't see that one coming...

Manning played well, Brady wasn't 100% at all for his last 3 games. Calling it an injury ... yet a deserved superbowl for the giants, Brady or not.

Speaking of which, it takes 5 of my injured catapults to send 1 HP off that spear down in the middle sea - and he'll probably just shrug it off in the IBT, if I know him well enough.
