hah! i'm no more a statistician than apparently everyone on this board is secretly a programmer... uh, i googled around until i figured out that this was the urn problem (e.g. in this case we have an urn with 2 red balls, 2 blue balls, and 36 purple balls), and that apparently the term for...

maybe i am! but then again, maybe i'm not. THE MIND GAMES

YO i need your help. or anyone's help! math problem: if i have one splinter twin, one kiki-jiki, one pestermite, and one deceiver exarch in a forty card deck, what is the probability of drawing at least one of the two red cards and at least one of the blue cards by turn five? ...asking for a...

Draft #2 signups 1) Rasmus 2) Lucre 3) safra I think there were some more people who expressed interest in participating - reply here to get added to the list!

when threads get derailed, it's on all of us to make sure they stay derailed forever

Oh god I can't actually participate in a second draft in parallel. I was just floating the idea, in case there are eight interested parties, not including myself. But I think it may not be too hard to scrounge up another six people!

That doesn't really work unless the arbitrator is guaranteed to have no overlap with the drafter. Like, if you send me those picks, and I'm BW but considering a green splash, then I might just snap up Tarmogoyf the round before I know you'll want it. I think what you're saying is that a...

ah, the thread isn't complete without your typical condescending Lucas post. post your colour combinations or gtfo

This would be possible if the rotisserie draft were an app, rather than a Google Sheets doc, so that the app could automatically arbitrate disputes and accept or reject pick lists from people without revealing what other drafters' lists looked like in the case of conflicts. With Google Docs, I...

Yeah, at this rate, bumbeh, it might be best for you to send your Giant List of Cards to someone else who's participating, preferably someone who's not in your colour combination so that they won't blatantly snipe your cards the round before you would've taken them. At least this way only one...

yeah, i think maro has more insight than most folks into the colour pie, from having worked with it for so long. but he's certainly not the final authority, but rather, just one more opinion. he actually had Khal Drogo as mono-red at first, and then was convinced by his readers that Gruul was a...

sweet, thanks. man, tumblr is a really hard site to google search for, but there are nuggets here and there. maro agrees with you that Tyrion is UR, and throws in B at the end for good measure: http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/91767344878/ooooh-youre-watching-game-of-thrones-now-here...

GODDAMN that is the easter egg of the century you forum people never cease to amaze me

are there any maro tumblr posts about this subject? i'd love to hear the man's thoughts but yeah, GenericZero, you seem to have a good handle on this, i'm buying all of what you're selling

If you can figure out a way to do this - by all means! Just note that everyone can see the spreadsheet, though, so if you put card names in formulas, that might give away your strategery.

I just need to note here officially that Silas is the fucking man.

Okay, I'm going to make a rule: It's your job to notify whoever picks after you. I don't care how you do it - email, text, PM, Skype, Google Hangout, telegram, carrier pigeon, Morse code via lighthouse. So get the contact info of the person to your left and to your right, and message them when...

Oh dear god, I really hope we finish this in less than 42 x 8 = 336 days. Not sure daily emails is going to come close to cutting it. edit: i guess this is a game and we are on a forum so moving this thread to the right place

Man... I love that there are closet programmers hidden all over this forum! By default, Google Sheets has a feature where you can sign up to get notifications any time the spreadsheet changes, but that'll probably lead to a barrage of emails. Searching for 'conditional notification' turned up...

yeah, some good points all round. white =/= good guy, and black =/= bad guy. i guess we just have to look back to New Phyrexia, where the red praetor was the good guy and Elesh Norn was one of the main baddies. okay, i'm starting to buy Tyrion as :u::r:.
