percentages for cyber battles

[Dodger]

Okay, have this. I just failed:
70% Lightsabre
80% Force armour
70% Spider
80% Grabber
80% Psi
In a row 

What is the percentage of that happening?

[Bakster]

30% * 20% * 30% * 20% * 20% = a very miniscule amount.

[anima]

0.3*0.2*0.3*0.2*0.2 = 0.00072

 Hmm so basically less than 1% chance. That is disturbingly low....but possible

[Dodger]

Sounds like my luck.... 

[Dodger]

Seriously something weird is going on....Is there a problem with the game matlu?
I killed CrazyHaze by destroying two beacons with my mount then killing him with it,....
more to the point, me and haze then both failed 80% spiders on the same turen, and all 6 def monsters got killed by weak monsters. We have both failed fire and goo (90%) about 5 times each in 5 games. There
Let me put it this way, there is something weird going on....
Oh and I havn't beamed a single 70% all day!!! I am totally serious!

Maybe the random number generator developed a personality

[Dodger]

Lol acyually i know what you mean....something just happened that make me want t take it all back....i just killed a guy who had force armour with a disrupter...
That means i had to succeed resistance roll(dunno %), and then defence roll (like 2%)

[CrazyHazy]

I just died by a disrupter to Dodger, and i had force armor. That is bull.

[CrazyHazy]

^^ nvm, he posted it.^

[Dodger]

lol 

[Dodger]

everytime something weird happens im gonna add it to the list

[ultswordsman]

well i got 4 b mechs from 4 beacons and 3 of them worked at 40 50 and 60% and others failed at like 90%

Im sorry Bakster, but your calculation is incorrect. Decimal to fraction doesnt work like that e.g. 50% = 0.5 = 1/2 not 1/5.

Soooo, its 1/1389 chance, which sounds more accurate. Correct me if im wrong..you're the one who is meant to be doing higher math

[Bakster]

0.5 does equal a half, but it also equals 5/10 which is a half.

0.01 = 1/100 right?

Ahh. I did make a mistake. 0.00072 = 72 in 100,000, which probably simplifies to whatever you said.

I've had 6 weeks off maths and education in general! Don't be so mean
