Maybe a better scam was me paying attention in highschool, turning that into scholarships, 3 degrees, a military pension, and now as a doctor, I have all the toys, a cabin by the lake and 2 holidays a year.  Paying a little into this game is nothing, troll.

What's your accomplishments besides a pizza face-tattoo?

Can I have your stuff?

Cool your tits, bruh.  It was an obligatory irreverent response.  One would think you would have known that by now. 

I've been at this game for what, 5 years now?

I can't afford Vanguard armour, or Sentinal armour, or even Delta armour.  It doesn't seem fair.

You all should just send me $27B of your stuff and then I can get the armour I deserve.

Cheers and thanks ahead of time

As the title says.

As another Albertan (until Alberta does something stupid like separate from the best country on the planet), how many of us are there here?

Also, what's the age range on an event like this?  I am not risking being the only 50 year old coming to an event like this.  I'll get labelled a predator.  Also, are there hygiene requirements....because if you combine Quebec with Role-Playing-Game with Video-Game, with Convention...holy shit is there going to be a BO issue.

Also, do you have to prove your vaccination status?

You were only going to rub one out with those two minutes anyways

Except, in the man-created world of torn, there is a god.

Has anyone ever done the work to truly try to penetrate the value of prayer in this game?

Like, really try...with legitimate science?

I haven't seen anything, but I also haven't looked very hard.

If luck/blessings were to exist, they probably would manifest most cleanly in xanax OD rates.

In a game like Torn, it would probably have some sort of cooldown effect.  I am not certain, but my gut is that it would not be stackable, else human pattern recognition in the community would likely have picked up on it.  Further, if it exists, its effect is likely small enough to also dodge human pattern recognition.

Would rosary beads have an effect?  In a game like torn, I imagine it would have an effect, and my guess is that they would either a) augment the luck effect, or b) be a gateway requirement to access the prayer-based luck mechanism.

I have a bit of a research background.  And, I am half decent directing Claude to make scripts.

With community involvement, I think we could likely collect enough data to statistically analyze this and put the issue to bed.

I am feeling this would be in the form of a script, that:

randomly assigned players to either:
1. never-pray
2. pray-once-within-5-minutes-of-xanax

ensure every participant is wearing a rosary

ensure compliance with their group (compliance and drop out would be likely the largest confounders)

keep track of business addiction level as a secondary statistic

record the number of xanax before an OD

Once an OD is detected, randomly assign the person to a group again.

I think that 1000-2000 ODs should probably be enough to pick up on a 5% luck effect.

I believe the proper statistical tools would be log-rank comparisons, followed by Cox proportional hazards regression.

Would there be interest in this?  Or has it already been done?

Didn't know about this fight simulator.  Thanks.

And in general, thanks to everyone contributing to this discussion

I couldn't help myself.  I had to go look.

But, to wash that out in 1000 fights, we ensure each player starts half of the fights.  That brings that back to 50%:50% right?  Then what happens between them when def doubles in one player, while dex doubles in the other?  And, what happens when dex doubles in one, but hit points doubles in the other?

OK...each is sporting an Enfield SA-80 with 66 damage and 57 accuracy

I think the OP is talking about companies though

lets pretend that they are the exactly identical weapons, same damage, same accuracy, no bonuses.  For argument's sake, lets assume no armor.  Lets assume that they each have one weapon and just use that one weapon over and over again.

That looks like someone got caught once for mult-accounts, and then got caught again 7 months later

Forgive me for not delving into the math on this.  Afterall, this is a game, and I do enough heavy thinking at my day-job.

That said...maybe someone who is well steeped in that math can help me out.

Scenario: two players with identical stats (1B strength, 1B defense, 1B speed, 1B dexterity.  Same vanilla armour, same vanilla weapons.  Same hit points.  No job perks, faction perks, merit perks, etc.  No temp items are used.

If those two players fight each other 1000 times, they are expected to split the wins pretty close to the middle, right?

Now, if player A has 2B defense, and player B has 2B dexterity....are they still expected to split the wins roughly 50%:50%?

What if player A has 2B defense, but instead of B having 2B dexterity, they still have 1B dexterity but X2 hit points?  Still 50%:50%?

I'm just trying to wrap my head around this on a more qualitative level, maybe not a hard quantitative level.

Cheers

quick and easy trade.  No drama, just business.

Would recommend

Its a bad thing.  Don't do it.

I am trading caches.

Do you have an armour cache, or a weapons cache you want to get rid of?

I have a cutesy, gentlemen, elderly, naughty, denim etc caches.

One for one.

Why keep combat caches, when you can be stylin' instead.

Cheers

Do you have crappy RW that you can't use, and you can't seem to sell for a price that doesn't make you cry?

Don't sell them.  Send them to me.

I will send you back a camel plushie.  At least then you won't have that direct psychological trauma of getting too few dollars for it.

If you want a fox, nessie, monkey plushie instead, I can accommodate that.

Cheers.

I didn't read all this....did anyone suggest FODMAPS to you yet?

I found some errors where the API calls only put partial values in.  These are the cleaned average, median 90% and 10%:
