I like averages?

The combat system also avgs 5d100 instead of just adding 1d100

[Iituem]

If a conditional isn't made, i'll roll a d2 and rule the attacker as the best of 5 winner on those rolls.

Why would you? Rolling a single d2 rather then 5 has the exact same succes chances, and is less complicated.

If it's the equivalent of flipping a coin and you're choosing whoever gets the most (heads or tails), you might as well just flip it once.  If it's totting up the scores I guess you could do it that way, but again you might as well just flip a coin.

The combat system averages 5d100 instead of rolling 1d100 because that creates a Normal distribution, making the slight advantages of having higher stats more meaningful.  With a Normal distribution, an attack vs defence advantage of +8 is much more significant than 8% (the advantage on a flat line rather than a bell curve).

I think that is exactly ebbors point.

[CyberGenesis]

Shhhh don't make his point for him...my point was more "Shut up" than an explanation

Really there's no good option. It's getting to the point i'll just say screw the conditional and force players to pick a side - attack or defence

[Terenos]

So really Phantom, I want Metalworking I. This is your chance to make a small profit on it.

[CyberGenesis]

So are you going to edit your turn phantom or just put 1k into a half-payment on the religion?

[Phantom]

Hrm? Thought I edited it to say I was building forges.

[Iituem]

Will post my turn in a few hours, obliged to go see a show first!

[CyberGenesis]

Thats cool Iituem, no rush

[Criptfeind]

But. You. Rushed. Me.

Damn you.

[CyberGenesis]

I didn't, tere did

[Terenos]

Vicious Communist LIES. I rushed no one.

[CyberGenesis]

He complained insessantly you hadn't posted a turn yet, Iituem too.

I just passed along his sentiments.

[CyberGenesis]

Turn is up

FYI: I'll be on vacation visiting my parents for the first time since I moved out, so you have a week to do your turns. Play nice while I'm away

[Criptfeind]

I don't suppose you want to surrender Elfeater?
