Black Tower One Power Tournament 2013

[Basel Gill]

It´s time for round 2. All battle threads are up except TMD vs. Panchi or Davrick.

 

We have our first final! It´s among the dedicated - BG vs. Nikon. Very exciting. 

 

Since Dav is at -11, I think you can likely start Panchi and TMD.

[Niniel]

Muahahaha. 

[Elaevia]

Cloud vs Via

 

Via wins :)

[TheMasterDude]

TMD vs Panchi. TMD wins.

[Ithillian Turambar]

I'm still waiting on Tina ... but it's going to be close 'cos she keeps getting flukey rolls in Earth.

[Niniel]

Tina wins! 

 

I´m so looking forward to the final.

Did someone "hotfix" the rollers or something? I don't know what sort of RNG and algorithm the rollers use, but rolls had been high for a while now and now they're starting to act more random. I just rolled 7/48 and Ithi rolled horribly low against Tina in Tina's last attack.

 

Perhaps you should reset the seed for the RNG more? It's kind of disconcerting for the OP to behave somewhat deterministically for a while and to become random all of a sudden. I'm all for the occasional fluke roll, but the standard deviation of rolls changing drastically in the middle of a tournament is kinda sucky.

[Niniel]

I don´t understand any of that but I´m all for giving TMD some extra work. 

[TheMasterDude]

It uses a precreated function thqt does a random roll between 1 and your op level for each element. And attackers get about 2 more rolls then defenders. So there is nothing preventing it from getting either high or low numbers. It is completely random.

Just had 1 round where I got 20 pts of damage then the next 3 rounds I got really low 0 damage rolls. I'm not sure what that means, but maybe Wombat is right.

Fair enough.

[TheMasterDude]

There are no seeds for me to reset. It does a random roll separately for each op element for each person

[bgrishinko]

Oh, and hey.... BG vs. Nikon Completed.

 

 

BG WINS the Dedicated Tourney! WOOOO! I'm also up for rank advancement to Asha'man.

[Niniel]

Yay! Our first gold medalist!

[Ithillian Turambar]

Shouldn't higher Ranks get more chances to re-roll a higher number?

[Nikonis]

Any chance we'll have a loosers bracket?

[TheMasterDude]

Yes higher ranks roll higher numbers and if the attacker is the same rank as the defender the attacker gets more rolls. Its posted on the wiki site how many rolls each rank gets.

I rolled my 7/48 on a Fire (F1) attack FWIW.

No, sorry. But feel free to start new battles in the Battle Grounds.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Lol. I got 7 rolls and my highest was a 6.

 

That is just the most epic fail ever lol.

We have a wiki?

We call it 'the points page'. It has other stuff on there too lol

That's so unlikely as to be almost impossible.

I've read it. It didn't have much on DS rollers last I checked but I'll look again.
