Cool! My steam name is also the same as my username. I'm universal, baby!

Thank you for the gift, Theo!

On second thought, not that I don't like winning, but isn't 3d8 statistically imbalanced? I can't rightly accept my gift knowing that it was unfairly balanced... Though I'd really want to...

For 21 people, you'll need to re-roll D: *sob* *sob*

Gratz to the winnars 

And many thanks to Theodolus for his (I'm assuming) generosity.

Actually it should be pretty well balanced. With 3d8 there are 22 unique numbers that can come up. The dice should have a completely even chance of rolling any of those 22 numbers, and the idea has always been that I would discard any numbers that weren't assigned. Besides, I really don't feel like assigning 21 people 4 numbers a piece and rolling a d100 like I did for Plain Sight.

While I KNOW arguing will make me lose the prize, I just had to bring it up.

Take, for instance, the number 3. It has one way of being rolled: 1,1,1. Now, take 4. It has 3 ways of being rolled: 1,1,2; 1,2,1; and 2,1,1. What that means is, while everyone technically has a shot, these shots are not all equal.

So, that means numbers like 13 and 14 have the best shot to get rolled, as they have a multitude of ways to get rolled. So, it was unfairly balanced.

I just felt if I complained over a loser, it would seem like the loser was sore, whereas I feel like I won unfairly... Though, if you don't want to reroll... >.> I guess I can't argue there.

[Theodolus]

Hm. I suppose that's true. I always forget about there being multiple ways to add stuff up. I shouldn't forget that, but it's been a long time since I played craps... or Catan for that matter.

Well, I suppose I should re-roll then, then, shouldn't I? Fine, I'll do a d100 but I'm not going to bother assigning more than one number to each person. They get the number that's currently assigned and I'll just keep rolling until I come up with one that is aces.

Edit: And the re-roll comes up with Krellian as a winner. I'm really sorry about that webadict. I hate dashing hopes like that. I'll add you as a friend on Steam though, and you might have something cool coming your way a little down the line. /Ifeelterribleaboutitall....

Oh well... I figured I'd lose...

At least I get good karma somewhere...

[Tyler6498]

Krelian already won something I believe, besides if you WANT to think of it in a way, it is technically random that he had chosen that dice and put you as that number.

Edit: never mind, I looked and saw it was edited, threw me off.

[Theodolus]

Why so he has. Fine, we'll just go back to the original winner. Sorry for the confusion everyone. And congrats, once again, webadict!

[V-Norrec]

what did Krelian win. . .  I am confused greatly.

[Theodolus]

--snip--
And finally, the Aaron Spelling award for implausible plotlines:
The winner is Krelian [/center]

I had to dig for that for a couple minutes, but that makes me think he won a copy of Starfarer.

[webadict]

... Karma!

[Fanofgaming]

Whee! Thanks, Theo!

[Wolf Tengu]

Congratz winners.
