IANANAL

get it? get it?

[Alabaska J]

I

strongly

prefer "Couplet Typer."


Rhyming != Poetry.

I can see this working better.

[Nemesis]

My "poetry" is crappy at best,
and gets me heat in all game putting me to the test.

I think the title "Poetry Typer" is fine.
but "Rhyme Stretcher" I also wouldnt decline.

Rhythmic pain
driving me insane...

This.

Split the 300 stuff to GD.

I think some sort of title could be built around the fact that Elias the thief always wins as scum and always loses as town.

Thoughts?

[Elias_the_thief]

I'm 5-5 as town. fail.

[Thestatusquo]

I'm 5-5 as town. fail.

Not really, no, since generally people have win % higher than 50 as town, and lower than 50% as scum, you don't fit the normal pattern. You win way too often as scum and not often enough as town.

[Mr. Flay]

How the Christ is 5-for-5 not often enough? Fail, TSQ.

[Thestatusquo]

The point was that he's 10-1 as scum, jesus fucking christ. Thats what I was getting at.

[Primate]

he should lose three more games so we can give him '10-4, good scumbuddy'

[Thok]

Shouldn't we be basing titles on more then 11 pieces of data? Talk to me when he's 40-10 as scum and 25-25 as town.

[Thestatusquo]

With the pace of games on this site, I think 21 is a significant sample.

[Thok]

With the pace of games on this site, I think 21 is a significant sample.

Pace is completely irrelevant as to whether or not it's a large enough sample.

[Thestatusquo]

Not true, seeing as he's been around the site more than a year now, I think a year of data is enough for a title, especially since titles have been based off of one event in the past.

[Mr Stoofer]

I think TSQ's point is a valid one.

[Thok]

Don't make me beat you people with a statistics book.

[xyzzy]

I agree with Shea.

[ZONEACE]

I too agree with shea. Excuse me while i set fire to myself.

[shaft.ed]

I'd argue I fit this pattern better. But Elias does deserve some recognition for 10-1 that's flat out crazy.

UNFAIR STANDARDS ALERT

how many games as SK do you have to merit your title, anyways? surely you must be at least 0-50 for a title to be based on whether or not you're a disgrace to SKs

My title isn't simply "Thok is bad at being an SK" (in fact I'm 0-2-1 as an SK, with a draw in Muppets, a loss in a Minvational where I was NK night 1, and the game where my title comes from, which is a reasonable standard for success for most SK's), but rather recognizing a particularly memorable event, that among other things won CA a scummy.

If Elias didn't keep track of his stats in his sig, would we be having this discussion at all? That's my standard for being significant.

[Thok]

If we assume scum winning percentage is 50%, there's about a 1/200 chance of having a scum record of 10-1 or 11-0 in their games (and really, since we'd have this discussion but backwards if the records were flipped, I should include the possibility of 1-10 or 0-11 and make is about 1/100.) That's good but we have a lot of people on this site, and I wouldn't be shocked if a person randomly was 10-1 or 11-0 or even better.

There's also the question of whether Elias's is actually good, or getting somewhat lucky. (Probably the answer is a combination of both.)

You'll have better luck finding some particularly cool scum gambit that Elias pulled off and basing a title off of that. It would likely give a more interesting title also.

I can't help it if people fail basic statistics.

[Thestatusquo]

Scum win % is almost NEVER 50%. Are you purposefully being obtuse?

You really need to stop undermining the point of the title. Whether or not luck has gotten him this far has nothing to do with it; the fact is, he wins when he's mafia, and to pass it off as if it wasn't true pins you as the current penultimate of douchebaggery.
