Killing Alien Goo

[Bakster]

Last night I was playing waylan, and NOTHING below 90% worked, I mean absolutely nothing!!!

that just means you had back luck that day... get over it.

everyone around here seems to be writing everything off on the propability factor. how about some investigation instead? i don't mean to sound like a prick, but come on, when someone complains, people say "it's bad luck."

[Dodger]

Thats because it generally is. Matlu did some investigating didn't he, his results showed that the probability is fine. You can't always think that because it's 90%, it will work all of the time. Because it wont.
As for 50%'s, it's like flipping a coin, sometimes you can get tails a few times in a row, but that doesn't stop it from being a 50-50 chance.

What about doing it yourself instead of writing rants?
Nothing is easier. Start single player game, take a piece of paper and note down results (along with probability).
If you know something about statistics you'll be also able to interpret the result.

--------------------------
20%  Two     |  One
--------------------------
30%  N/A      |  N/A
--------------------------
40%  None    |  Three
--------------------------

Back to the actual point of this topic....all four of your 80%'s failed?? And two out of three 20%'s worked?? And only two out of fourteen 50%'s failed....weird....

Yup, it was tested over 3 games. I was surprised with the results myself, but it all seems to balance out.
