To reiterate briefly, the four species are 1. the sphinx, having a profile with the highest percentage at first place, the next highest at second place, and so on. 2. the hyena, having the highest percentage at second place. 3. the dromedary, having more first and third places than second places, and 4. the horse, having high numbers for first and seventh place, not so high for second and sixth, etc., and lowest for fourth. All of these species appear in the top 25, and likely occupy different "niches" in the kdice ecology. In a typical game, there are likely to be players of all species, who interact with each other as animals of different species interact around a watering hole on the African veldt. So knowing how the different species behave and using that knowledge to your advantage is not something new. Likewise with knowing the traits of particular individuals. Nothing different here than chess or Go, except that in kdice you deal with six players at a time. Welcome to kdice, Dora. |

If you google on "skrumgaer dromedary" you will find more stuff (old Forum posts). I find Wikipedia a good reference for anything mathematical. |
