Tibs, would you mind fixing two errors I did while reporting my latest game? I forgot to check the control box "terror level reached 10"; and also the points were entered wrong: the final score was 11, not 17.

Thanks & sorry

The one I'm referring to was game 2540 (Hastur, no Herald). After this one, I reported another game (2544, Hastur with Herald): and in this game, I made another small error. I won by closing gates. Thanks again for fixing it!

Sorry for the day-late report. I'm taking the hardest undergraduate physics course this semester, and Mondays and Wednesdays are when all of my classes are scheduled, so I didn't exactly have time to screw around.

Anyway, the report is up, with some fun new things:

  1. I've decided to take stats of the difficulty of each expansion based on entries using only that expansion. Previously, I just used every entry that included that expansion. I feel that this will give a fairer rating, and there are certainly enough data points to work with.
  2. I've added an entry for % victory using all eight expansions. Currently, the all-expansion lose rate is 50.38%. That is higher than any individual expansion, and for comparison, using no expansions has a lose rate of 26.92%.
  3. The new record-holder for score is Vince, with 95.

"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.

The stats say "Vince, 94". Maybe something went wrong? Anyway, thanks for the great work, Chris, as always :-)

Tibs,

      I'm impressed...of course, Physics + Arkham Lore means you're becoming non-Euclidian...

It is 94. Whoops.

And yeah, luckily for me, we have not done any non-Euclidean math. Come to think of it, non-Euclidean geometry only really comes up in astrophysics. Our local spacetime is effectively flat, so Euclidean is perfectly good.

I assume that graduate courses will deal closely with general relativity and cosmology, and, with black holes in particular, non-Euclidean math will poke up constantly.

I'm someone with a background in History (BA) and International Relations (MS) ~ the closest I come to perfomring math calculations is balancing my checkbook.  On second that...not even then

The closest I come to history is learning about Einstein's breakthroughs. Usually scientific history is distilled into humorous anecdotes.

Watch the episode of Big Bang Theory in which Sheldon tries to teach a "bit of Physics" to Penny~ hysterical!

that's it, that's it, that's it!!!   I find that show hysterical, because despite my friends and I not having advanced academic degrees in science, we're eerily too similar to those characters.

Seconded! That show is actually one of my fave of all times (if only season five was as good as the previous four... sigh...) :-)

Well I guess I have to come in and crap on everyone's parade, but I don't like Big Bang Theory.

Still better than Better off Ted though, by a longshot.

Oh that reminds me, I said I'd post the transcript of the 94 game. It's long editing and review process is over, it's ready to publish (in no way did I forget).

It's available at skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx

As it's 27 pages long, I figured I wouldn't spam the board with it. And before anyone asks the obvious question 'Why in sweet heavan did you do that?' - because I was asked to!

Hi all. Sorry about the late report. Again, and without shame, I'm claiming Electrodynamics as the reason.

Stats report for March 3 2012

The only thing of note is that I personally have filled the space for #1 contributor. The funny thing is, I'm in 1st by a single game, and I wrapped up a game right before remembering that I had to do the report. Well, we'll see how long that lasts anyway.
