    Yeah, it would have been cooler if it wasn't a clunkier version of hexes+illusions, but hey.

    Two of my favorite skillsets had a baby and its name is dramaturgy.

    Rave for actually being a Warlord again and not some crappy Magistrate!

    Also, rave for knowing that my side doesn't need 5k+ bombs to win.

It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

    Mysrai leans close to you and gently lays a kiss upon your forehead.

    Where the lips of the Goddess meet your forehead, a burning cold spreads through you, and a white 
    field blossoms before your eyes. You fall forwards into endless petals of ivory, then into a burning,
    cold Void.

    Mysrai leans close to you and gently lays a kiss upon your forehead.

    Mysrai has imbued you with great powers, use them wisely.

    Gahgadhghdgeahdda aasfge1!

    Eritheyl has been seared to death by the divine flame of Mysrai, Urchin in Ivory.

    With great powers comes considerable pain.

    Eh, Mysrai has the avatar army, really... not sure why more divines don't do it that way, but eh.

    Most gods don't  just give avatar to every demigod in their order.

    The Crystal Wheel.
    Banks of clouds roil about here. Bintu Goldfeather struts about, running his gold watch-chain 
    through his fingers. An opulent roulette wheel lies here horizontally, tempting those with a taste 
    for risk. Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus is here. She wields a frosted weather balloon in her left hand.
    You see exits leading northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.
    4974h, 6093m, 6037e, 10p, 18245en, 23225w BesSix-
    Bintu Goldfeather says, "No more bets!" and gives the wheel a good spin. The ball begins to smoothly 
    spin around the wheel.
    4974h, 6093m, 6037e, 10p, 18245en, 23225w BesSix-
    The ball starts to bounce around wildly on the wheel, giving you no idea where it will stop.
    4974h, 6093m, 6037e, 10p, 18245en, 23225w BesSix-
    The ball finally settles down on 27 (black).
    Bintu Goldfeather exclaims to you, "We have a winner! You've won 1750000 gold!" The stakes for your 
    winning bets are returned to you, along with your winnings.

    I've won most of my gold on roulette, well over 8 million.

    Back in the day, I also won 20k lessons when you could gamble lessons....... (BRING IT BACK!!)

  • Every time I've played I lose... What is the secret to all these people making millions?

    P.S. the string of wargames tonight was awesome.. And I feel like everyone had a few wins and a few losses.  Was glorious
    Take great care of yourselves and each other.

    Much like gambling at the actual casino, stick with your gut.

    I always bet on 13 or green.

    There's patterns(unless i'm imagining things). For instance, if you see a number hit twice in a row, there's a good chance it will hit a third time soon.

    I've got a big list of roulette spins, and I tested some supposed patterns some time ago (and found none of them actually worked). That pattern is a new one though; I'll see if I can dig my code up and check it out (alternatively recode it).

  • Ended up recoding it, and I couldn't really find any pattern in it myself based on the 7000 spins I have numbers of from 2010. I'd gladly send the numbers to someone who wants to check it for themselves though.

    The trick is only hearing from people that win and not about the losses ;)

    I've lost gods know how many times, but I did have one spin once where I got roughly 780,000 gold, recouping some of my losses =p

    That being said, you can't help but feel that the roulette is rigged at times, this is going back quite some time now, but I remember once I tested it with roughly 50 spins of small amounts of gold purely doing red/black bets, I got maybe 2 wins, every other time when I chose black it came up red (I'd do 10 consecutive spins of black and have them all come up red, then I'd do 10 consecutive spins of red and have them all come up black)
    Never put passion before principle.  Even if you win, you lose.

  • Yay for people from other organizations being willing to talk to/approach Marcella. I like roleplaying with people who don't pretty much agree with everything I say sometimes.

    Awesome Friday Night Wargames! All around!

    I should have been teaming up with Harbingers sooner, they mesh with Nihilists better then Cacophony.

    Three Warriors shieldstunning is very, very, very painful.

    Symphonium in groups are painful.
