Good to know. If I'm ever on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or something and they ask me what Zibblemonkey likes, I'll know to say turtles. Useful bit of information, there.
I just had the most exhausting 21 hours of my life. I was in the water practicing for a total of 7 3/4 hours, I was running on 3 hours of sleep, and we swam a total of 26,000 yards, along with seeing a movie in between practices last night, which lasted from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M., and 10:15 P.M. to 12:00 A.M. Then there were the morning practices from 6:45 A.M. to 9:15 A.M. and 10:30 A.M. to 12:00 PM. Can't wait till next years lock in!
Exhausting day. Moved into my new house, including an upright piano. My body hurts so much right now I can't even, but at least it's over.
Managed to bubble another City Championship today. Got downpaired again the last round this time, so I was the only X-1 who couldn't just ID. I am like 99.9% sure that TOM is flawed in its randomization algorithm, and something in it causes it to target the same player for downpairing. For whatever reason, whether it be my name or player ID, I'm the player targeted in my area for constant downpairs. City Championship #1 Round 5 - Downpaired, 50% probability City Championship #2 City Championship #2 Round 4 - Downpaired, 16.67% probability Round 5 - Downpaired, 16.67% probability City Championship #3 Round 5 - Downpaired, 25% probability There's a 0.34% probability that I would be downpaired for all of those rounds, so I would tend to think that there is something not random about the way that TOM decides to downpair players. Getting pretty tired of having my resistance get shot and then bubbling cut by a few percentage points because of constant downpairs.
I assure you it's 100% random, Charranitar, albeit I definitely can understand why your recent luck would lead you to think otherwise. Small problem with your "0.32% chance" of having all of those pairdowns occur to you is that they are randomly independent events and have no bearing on each other.
You get the probability of all of those rounds being that by multiplying all of the probabilities together. Oh well. Need to figure out my deck for tomorrow. Top 8 was like 2 Virizion/Genesect, 3 Darkrai, 2 Plasma, 1 Blastoise. I'm thinking Victini/Terrakion EX/Drifblim would be a good choice. Otherwise some Ho_oh variant. Lugia/Bouffalant are staples in my area for Genesect now though, so I kind of want something stronger than just Drifblim to deal with Lugia's.
I know how you get the probability, I simply am saying the validity of your number in the way you use it. Yes, there is a 0.32% chance you get those pairdowns, but at the same time, since those events are randomly independent of each other, that's not really saying much. Anyway your luck with pairdowns has certainly been bad; good luck tomorrow.
Went to a Cities today. Lost round 1 due to hitting no supporters the entire game. Won four in a row, got to table 1. Lost a close game at Table 1. Top 8 cut, I placed 9th. -_-
And you didn't ID...why? Pain felt from events we've had under the past system, but whether it's popular or not, there now is a way around the R6 problem you had.
We had a guy who refused to ID with someone when it meant both of them would make cut. Then when he was losing the game, he asked for the ID, and the opponent was nice enough to do it then.
RIP Sammyclassicsonicfan. He got doxed. Thus his info got shown to internet, including address and phone number. He is now grounded for life.
in the Pittsburgh area the is only 2 cities a year and I missed one due to finding out short notice i plan on going to the other one
Just got back in town from San Fran. Let's just say that Urobutcher really knows how to make his fans sad.
