yay /in

[xtopherusD]

Whaaat

[xtopherusD]

Awww thanks guys I didn't even notice you shouldn't have!

[xtopherusD]

brushes confetti out of hair

Wait, do you have this above every player?

Well, thanks so much for choosing me. I'm feeling that I want to open the

fourth, then first

spheres for you.

[xtopherusD]

What happens if someone earns the line jump, then in the same game someone else chooses the 4,0 correctly? Do they still get a chance at skipping the queue? And if they succeed as well, do they go into some kind of secondary Line Jump Line?

Ooh, someone in that queue could still pick the order right. What would happ-- No, I feel like probability is already against the

first

scenario. Carry on.

Okay, why do I want to work out the chance of that happening. You're on a break now, toph. Stop trying to think.

[xtopherusD]

I'd say that effort deserves a round of confetti.

[xtopherusD]

Quick question: The grey in those stats is the thing I'm not understanding. What happened to Mist and bird, and what was with picks 9 & 11?

[xtopherusD]

Also...

Hey I can certainly try

My username isn't good for this kind of thing, is it. I'm sorry.

[xtopherusD]

ANIMORPH GET IN HERE

You called?

You missed it.

[xtopherusD]

No, seriously. Give us some numbers. Preferably somewhere between 0 and 4.

[xtopherusD]

Ah. I've been programming, it seems.

(I prefer this explanation over, "I don't think through things")

[xtopherusD]

xtoph is irrelevant.

tumut

:P

[xtopherusD]

I've got the least likely order* in the game: 0 1 2 3 4!

* no

[xtopherusD]

So in fact, there were two 4s lurking about if xtoph had sided with his prediction in live play, they just got saved for last! A 1/190 chance of that happening, I believe!

With an expected count of four of each number, two 4s isn't too low at all... it looks like it's about a 0.136909 chance - nearly 1/7!

EDIT: ... Forgot the whole "saved for last" thing. Your number's probably good

[xtopherusD]

Quick question if someone else does the same thing what happens then do they go behind me then

Here. They go behind you, yeah.

[xtopherusD]

Or give them something ridiculously overpowered, like all the colours going to UV values

[xtopherusD]

lets see if I can really bowl the odds over.

My order is:

0 1 2 3 4

I thought we already talked about this, jmj.

[xtopherusD]

xtoph, they left you last for again! Sorry about that.

Hmm. I did notice that...

I'm opening the third sphere. If that's the four, I'll say the order is 3-1-4-2-0.

[xtopherusD]

Annnnnnnnd that's the first time Drench isn't going first.

We were essentially just Australian bookends.

[xtopherusD]

i thought you had his mouth glued shut

[xtopherusD]

points at self uncertainly, then quickly nods and selects spheres

*

I'll open the third, then second, spheres from the left.

[xtopherusD]

Wow. Very Sphere. Much picking.

Am real game show contestant now.

I never should have encouraged this.

[xtopherusD]

you can say at least you were famous on an Internet game show for free.

But these two...
...you know already.

$20,000!

!

I like to imagine that you finish your sentence to Feirei, then swing round and just give a massive grin to the camera.

[xtopherusD]

Wait, your

signature

?

[xtopherusD]

I'm seeing 1-2-4-3-0.

Third then fifth!

[xtopherusD]

Code: Select all

[color=black][b]Bird1111[/b], get me in a better situation, please. I won't mind if you give me a bad result. JUST DON'T LET ME LOSE GREEN. (Blue is okay)[/color]

I was hoping you'd done this.

EDIT: And the mod, too! I don't pay enough attention. I guess it makes templating easier.

[xtopherusD]

What sort of fidgeting is this? Are you shifting in your seat? Playing with something in your hands? I need to get a good picture of what's happening, if it's going to continue happening so often.

[xtopherusD]

Something happened with your numbers, and I'm not sure what it was.

EDIT: No, I worked it out. But you've got a 5 in one of your orbs.

[xtopherusD]

Hey there.

Don't pick me for the next few days, please.

I'm sure it doesn't affect your strategy if you were planning on playing similarly to everyone else who chose me last.

[xtopherusD]

Don't pick me for the next few days

I'm back!

[xtopherusD]

I think

mine

are 0-4-1-3-2!

[xtopherusD]

Woah, when did those pictures get so fancy-looking?

[xtopherusD]

I swear on my honor that was 3 then 1 selected, then I was dumb and edited the post to make it OOC. Silly yabb.

I'm

pretty sure

that there are better ways for you to cheat the game than to use pre-rolled dice.

As for the spheres, give me the

third

and the

fourth

!

[xtopherusD]

4 then 0.

That's the plan, yes. There's no zeroth sphere :3

... This coming from someone who's made the same mistake.
