I'm getting a "socket expired" message now...

This is freakin' ridiculous! I'm out there agian....

I just tried to get into yours, I got locked out too. I'd rather not have a virus either.

192.168.1.100 TCP/IP ...waiting...

I suggest you Armchair Generals click the link below and take a look at the SCHQ. The Tournament site has been created. Please update me with as much information as you can spare...IE: who won? when was the surrender? game comments? what was the final score, if any?

Who's available right now? I may need a distraction from the SCHQ updates. send me an email [ December 28, 2002, 03:32 AM: Message edited by: Otto ]

I'll have to see if there can be an upgrade here somewhere... :confused:

Yeah, me too, what he said. [ December 28, 2002, 04:21 AM: Message edited by: Otto ]

From one Canuck to another: Buy the game dude; you will not regret it.

Yep, still being entertained! I like the /tower of Babel too. I can't wait for this $10 mini-tournament to get going. AKA: The $10 Pistol Shoot-out.

This weekend I'm goin to post some of the information on this "Christmas Tournament". So we can look forward to that, but I'f you guys are going to make AAR's for this $10 mini-tournament, I'm going to put this on my site too for all to see. You know, just to increase the stakes a *little* more.

Easily the MOST entertaining thread on the Forum right now. Thanks Guys!

Good to hear CvM. I'll put up something nice over at the HQ. If everyone in the toutney could keep their games saved, that would help with some stats later on.

Scorpion, that sounds like a good one. I'll gladly host it for you!

...and me too...

I hear you have a few good campaigns, want to send them my way? And this goes for anyone else that has any spare campigns lying around too... [ December 20, 2002, 07:35 PM: Message edited by: Otto ]

I'd like to see it...maybe post a link instead of inserting the image.

While I don't have time to run the actual tourney, I think I can find a decent place to post the results.

Anyone who has played Axis & Allies or another similar game based on certain probabilities. (dice or otherwise), know how frustrating these "expected" probablilities can be. Simply put, the odds of you getting exactly what the probability states is minimal. Even if you flipped a coin 1,000 times, the chances of you getting 500 heads and 500 tails are very low. What this 50/50 probability means is that the results from all the millions of coin flips in the world will average somewhere near half and half. It does not mean that every time I flip a coin twice, once will be heads and once will be tails. A 25% chance at a tech advance does NOT mean one advance every 4 turns. It means that over the course of hundreds of turns the average of all the tech advance will hover somewhere around 1 in 4. Think about it: the fact that you get an advance one round does not in any way affect the chance of getting one next round, the chances are the same. Even if I flipped a coin 10 times and got 10 heads in a row, the odds of me getting heads on the next flip is again 50/50. There is no magic SC code that ensures each games' tech advances comply with the alloted percentage of that game. I know I'm covering well trodden ground here, but I just wanted to perform an exercise in my own insanity. While I'm not positive, with the 1.06 patch, I'm pretty sure tech advances do increase with each turn you fail to get an advance. I think we might need some clarification on this. I also agree that there should be some increase in probablility each turn, but it really doesn't bother me too much. As long as the chances are equal for each side, I'm not too concerned with tech, and in my experience, I have found the tech to be balanced.

Nice to have another new and well known gamer here. I just added your site to my links page too.

I'm with you Norse, these threads are great! a rough guess is something like 40 threads on the topic.

I think there is probably some legal action you can take against Hubert. I can suggest a good ambulance chaser if you want...

So let's see, 97% would be our new 100% then?

Wow, someone got up on the wrong side if the haystack today. Feeling a little catty are we? I feel sorry for your husband... I bumped the very oldest and last posted-in-thread, for old times sake! [ November 16, 2002, 04:59 PM: Message edited by: Otto ]
