Stupidity defined: Luck-statistics

I just happened to have a very lucky game. At least the stats say so. I had 53.6%. And, since the average for unknown reasons or blatant incompetence is not 50%, 53.6% is really high.

In that game I defended 5v3 in 1st turn, I won my 1 attack and then was beaten 4v5 when I was the defendant. In 2nd turn my 5v4 attack failed. I then had a couple of defends with dice-disadvantage to make it to turn 3 where I was eventually killed to get 7th and -313 points.

If that is what a lucky game looks like to you - you need to see a doctor.

For another time: THE STATS SUCK. It is the worst shit around.

Why do you read them anyways?

53% luck doesnt mean someone cant roll higher. 4v5 wins happen quite alot, and 5v4 fails as well.

Seriously people, stop looking for stats all the time - just play.

Good point Kam - but you know I get pissed when I lose, I get angry. And when I see I lost with "good luck" it must have been my skill...

in any case: you got 49.5% as your current average, Louis...

That's a solid number.

"solid number" is not listed in my dictionary... I find reel numbers, rational numbers, natural numbers, imaginary numbers... ;-))

I know my luck hasn't been too bad from the numbers this month. Also my score confirms that. I just have been able to have the other games with that other account having some 48.? percent for the month :-))
Divide et Impera... Still that "solid number" means nothing, when a game like that up there gives you 53% - it wasn't lucky at all from a subjective point of view.

Finally, I like whining and complaining and swearing and yelling. I am certain it is among the better ways of handling phases of frustration - way better than wrecking a car or somebodies life...
