damn it, i was hoping you would answer just 'Nope' for a third time, which would end up meaning 'yes'.

Dear dead piggy

Do you happen to know how to solve probability through a venn diagram? I have a maths test tommorow!

Please help, your patient, faithful reader

sorry i meant tree diagram, not a venn diagram.

thanks!

sorry i meant tree diagram, not a venn diagram.

thanks!

Dealing with probability is like breathing to me, forcing me to use a diagram would be like putting me on an artificial lung, incredibly uncomfortable.

As far as I know you multiply all the probabilities along a branch to get the probability at the end of that branch.



I hope this works with gifs

Dear piggy,

why does Trollussa even bother posting, if he thinks he is so above having a conversation with other people?

Your humble servant, x.

I am not above to piggy.

Dear Piggy why does x think of being "other people"?:(
I call this megalomany...
But I'm willing to know what you think about.

Your faithful reader, Trollussa.

dear piggy,

how come only three people on warlight can speak english and one of them uses the word 'mum'?

Dear piggy,

what the fuck did Trollussa just say?

Your noun-cowboy, x.

Turn 4 of my game ladder game with zibik21



The next turn I broke his bonus. I like my chances.

Too bad I had to use 691 sneak attack counterwuss strategy to do it.

Wrong thread, oh well :)

Dear dead piggy,

Just wanted to write you back and let you know that I seem to have learned from my previous mistakes and successfully applied your sound advice

P.S. I'll send you pictures of x-rays of my healthy little daughter as soon as i have them! I'm thinking of calling her missy piggy, after you!

Dear Dead Piggy,

I have a complex conundrum for you to answer me. I have spent the majority of my life creating a computer whose sole design was to answer this problem. To my dismay, this computer was destroyed when the building was condemned to make room for a new highway. The computer was contemplating the question 'What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?' The computer spat out an answer: '42', but now we are in search for the question of which that is the answer to.

Oh gracious deceased swine, would you please solve this mystery?

Your most esteemed fan,
Zaphod Beeblebrox.

PS: Is it possible to get drunk then have 2 hangovers if you have 2 heads? I'm contemplating drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

An important question lolowut, but one that falls outside the range of expertise of this ME specialist. Could you perhaps reframe the question as a game of warlight?

Dear Dead Piggy,
how do you decide if something is made of a molecules? what is the rule?
The magician doesn't understand how something like this could be pulled, what is the trick?

@Trollussa and RSP 69's conversation:

I think that for very new players, not cluster picking is a good rule. Very new players. Once you have gotten even marginally experienced at the style of a strategic 1v1, you must begin to understand the importance of only sometimes cluster picking.

Far too many times, I have played against newbies who cluster picked and have their expansion largely halted by blockades. They are stuck with an undesirably low amount of armies, and I often end up with more armies per turn then them. If they are getting 12 armies and I am getting 16 when no expansion is occurring, then they are inevitably defeated. If they have not cluster picked (i.e. are able to flank me), then they can severely mess up the advantage that I have from having more armies per turn then they do.

"Conversation" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Having three picks in the same place is generally a bad idea, unless there are exceptional circumstances, ie. wastelands ruling out all but a few decent starts, or if your opponent is significantly better than you and a gamble is worth it.

Were my picks my best bet? How could I have improved my picks?

bad. Your opponent just wasnt good at strategic 1v1.

Before looking at your starts, i'd have picked Indo and Austalia to secure you a nice safe australia bonus quickly.
My thrid, fourth and fifth pick would be in Africa.

That would have completely countered your picks. Even though Trollusa disagrees, try spreading out your picks.
