hasnt furor taken most of the good vulak and doze items because of the dkp bonuses for racing? Literally the exact thing people accuse arcler of accruing dkp to do when he hasnt bid on a single piece that I can remember?

Vanquish doesn't have FTE bonuses. We've been winning races for fun. It may be time to start, though. They've been doing a fantastic job. Is Arcler still rocking that 90% RA? I need to up my game. A casual like myself is just sitting down here at 66%. Who does all the DKP submissions in Riot?

To date, it is my 3rd year on P99. I have never been consistently bested in coth, foot, or click races by anyone on the server, so I do not believe any player has been cheating on them. I would haven taken notice if someone started blowing through my benchmarks. Tofat, Tuddy, Iris, Papazol, Zarza on coths, Venice at RW, Mjrn, Stunningly, Papazol, Laughingor, Soju, Lennard, Capi, Detoxx, Kingmob, Luddo, Screapy on races... these guys are all killers I've spent a lot of time competing with. I see Slaggs (Gnomatron), Hogur, Mazeril, Chexi, Twist, Ironn, Trakkini, and Meathanger coming up on races too! ...I hope Griffith isn't getting paid for his Kael runs lol sorry Myrddraal.

In regards to Riot dying, it is sad to see. I had a lot of fun in that guild! Just wish it was managed better at the time. It is probably overdue now for a restructure or a merge to change the direction it has been going.

Raid success does not detract from friendships, questing, or anything else a guild has to offer. If success on raids did have any negative impact on guilds, what does the impact of failing on raids have on a guild? If you're going to be spending time raiding anyway, win. If your leadership tries to rationalize defeat, run. The competition is going to be hard enough on you without trying to carry your leaders as well.

The races are independent events. Look up the definition.

When Trainquish cheats and are not punished people get disgusted. This is why allowing cheating is harmful, it reduces competition.

Explain to me how Riot increasing dkp for fte decreases the skill of Trainquish players.

People observed Trainquish not trying to win race 21.

As soon as Trainquish were made aware of this, Trainquish is seen not trying to win the race, and looses the 21st race.

This is evidence of cheating to any clear thinking individual.

I know this is difficult for you but, a coin flip in probabilty means the outcome of the flip landing on heads is 1/2 and landing on tails is 1/2 (with the probability of the coin landing on it's edge is 0).

Nowhere in any of my posts have I claimed Kael races are a coin flip. Winning 4 out of 5 races is not a coin flip (see above if you are still confused), and neither is winning 20 races in a row.

The irony of you calling someone a "moran" goes over your head.

And you still have no idea what a strawman argument is.

Yes you did you fuckin moron. When you claim Vanq win Kael race 20 time(s) in a row = 0.50^20.

Another member of Trainquish who has poor reading comprehension. If you are too stupid to grasp that winning 4 out 5 races is not "equal chance" then I certainly do not trust any of your "logic".

This would be the chance of winning 20 in a row if the chance of winning or losing was equal.
Probability of A occuring 20 time(s) = 0.50^20 = .00000095367431640625or about 1 in 1,000,000.out of it.

I hope you never bid on horse races. The odds aren't 1 in 8 just because there's 8 horses.

Good, you are beginning to understand.

Nowhere in my posts is a 1/2 probability (coin toss) used, now go back and re-read the posts and if you are still struggling or have any questions know that I am here to help you.

You pulled numbers out of your ass. Your odds have no basis in reality.
