(http://www.sfbayview.com/wp-content/uploads/waterboarding...)

but I refuse to say what you want to hear, no matter how many times you waterboard me.

typical enemy combatant...


benevolence and love of humankind

Those are code words for hating America. And freedom.



My old comment was said without introspection, while my new comments have the benefit of my deeper knowledge of the game and increased scrutiny.

but, your latest comments were made without future Ortho's even deeper knowledge! And obviously prior to to future you getting vanity braces. Which completely changes everything. (http://www.champaignschools.org/central/business/johnson/...)
You may scoff at the notion that getting vanity braces changes you, but it does. You're like a totally different person after that. Trust me.


Note to future you:
On the day of your eldest child's wedding, i will find you, kidnap you, & re-waterboard you. (Even though future you will have already said what i wanted to hear previously). There is no stopping this.

(but try to enjoy the rehearsal dinner anyway, yo)

So Funky Town is having a clearance sale. If you want a 240k+ center for the low low price of 1.8 million. Now is your chance!

Lol, I dont really expect to sell him, just thought it would be a good value if I did! Sipos and Browne however have been annoying me for ages! Time to improve that ID! Bid's welcome!

I actually kinda like Sipos. But I suppose that's why he's going for 1/3 over his top EV.

Yeah, he looks pretty, that's what made me pay $6m(!!!) for him! I tried to train him 2ndries but got caught out by my lack of cap knowledge. I should get more than he's worth, lol. He just can't hold his own when everyone is playing LI....

You should put out a Groupon for him. Buy within the next 3 days and he's 87% off!

(since i have a little time to kill)
i realize that was at least halfway a joke post, but you mar it with the rest. (unless the straw man starter/backup argument, using the +/- of -2 over 7 minutes, repeating the discredited GS claims, & so on were also tongue in cheek)

ok... instead of arguing into a corner, how about simply giving your opinion on this:
do you think that each game (*not* your games with LMA, just games in general) if simulated 1000 times will always yield more or less the same result each time? If [Team A] is "supposed to" win by 10 points over [Team B], will [Team A] win each of those 1000 games by the expected margin? (give or take a few points). Or do you believe that in at least some of those 1000 simulations, things won't always go as expected?

I'm not trying to get you to say anything [wink emoticon goes here]. Just would like your opinion. If you do think games always play out according to plan, that's fine. (no need for evidence or anything either).

I think the game engine works like this:

1) First it picks the final score
2) Then it assigns stats to the players so that it comes out to that score



I swear I have seen people suggest this somewhere. Obviously it can be as random it wants with an "algorithm" like that! It does seem pretty random!

That just seems too bizarre.

There will always be some randomness involved. Its possible theres some catch-up logic to prevent wild outcomes, such as if player A with an expected 100 PP100 gets unlucky random numbers and winds up going cold, then the computer gives Player B also with the same expected PP100 a slight boost to his make/miss chances.
