Lackey kicked us at a 4-4 game. I couldn’t block but it was my turn. Justin couldn’t block me but had a 1/22 to get to falling Away.

Stupid timing lackey.

We used some odds to determine a winner by a combination of rolling dice. Justin needed a combined 15 and we rolled a combined 14. Made me laugh.

The other interesting note...Rubble & Dust saved the game for Josiah...not going to say how exactly, but I believe he cut Christian Martyr for it and it absolutely paid off for him.

If anyone is curious where the 1/22 came from, I had Falling Away left in my deck with 23 other cards (2 of which being Lost Souls), and I had an EC who would give me a draw 1 (before being defeated by Josiah's Hero). If my top card happened to be Falling Away, then I would stall one more turn.

First I picked a number between 1 and 22, which was 15.
Then I rolled a six-sided die--
1 or 2 equaled 0
3 or 4 equaled 1
5 or 6 equaled 2

I rolled a 4, which meant 1.

Then I rolled a twenty-sided die and if adding them together equaled 15, that would mean I "hit" Falling Away.

I rolled a 13...in other words, Falling Away was the next card away...

I mean, I'm no math expert, but I'm pretty sure you gave yourself 1/20 odds and not 1/22. The first roll does not make your chances of adding up to '15' any more or less, it just changes what you need to roll on the D20. If you had 0, you would need to roll a '15' exactly, 1 a '14' exactly or 2 a '13' exactly. To roll any of these numbers the odds are 1/20.

Not that it matters because you missed anyways, but it gave you a very slight better odds using the method you used

Hmm, indeed you're correct, though had I picked 1, 2, 21, or 22 my odds would have been less. I guess we were so wrapped up in wanting to finish that I didn't stop to fully think through the math.

Agreed, I think if you had picked either '2' or '21' the odds would have been 1/30, and '1' or '22' the odds would have been only 1/60.

That being said, if someone beats me with an entirely Luke/John Gold offense, I might give them double entries...

Aaaaahh man, I missed the word entirely in that. No wonder why I didn't get double points lol

Game 9 vs John E -- John wins 5-1. 6 entries for John.

Game was way closer than score indicates! Without giving away what Justin was playing if even one card falls different he probably wins 5-2 or 5-3

We have our first recorded game!

Use the link below to watch my game vs Red.

Game #1

A quick note from this game--a few times it may seem like I predicted Red's play--I assure you I am not psychic, but this was the second of two games we played so I knew what to expect.

For now I am leaving my videos unlisted on YouTube until I have a chance to work on building a nice looking channel (with stuff like an intro video and such). Hope you enjoy!

If anyone would like to play a recorded game this afternoon or evening, I should be available starting around 5 pm CST.

The Guardian · « **Reply #36 on:** May 17, 2019, 08:32:48 AM »

Here's another recorded game...this one was against Josiah, super close game!

I watched this challenge game and when Red blocked with King Egg I was like, "oh, he's 100% going to try to take an Enhancement from your hand. Too bad you've got Storehouse." And then he does, and you give him one anyway? That's pretty generous.

The Guardian · « **Reply #38 on:** May 17, 2019, 11:59:35 AM »

What can I say? I was happy to make my hand smaller...

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #39 on:** May 17, 2019, 12:25:31 PM »

The best part is that he later negated Eglon, but didn't take the enhancement back. That's how much he didn't want it

Hopefully we can play some futher matches soon! Was quite fun and good learning for me so far!

The Guardian · « **Reply #42 on:** May 31, 2019, 05:30:05 PM »

~~UPDATE~~

We have now reached 30 games, which means 3 drawing winners so far!

I have decided to continue the challenge up until North Central Regionals on July 6th. I will draw the winners at the tournament.

I think lady luck was on my side last night along with a couple borrows of your defense.

It was a tough and fun game. My misplays were good learning lessons for me. Thanks for the game and I look forward to more.

Godspeed,
Mike
