SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ARUAK CITY? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, COLORIFIC, since WRATHMEN DM
20 took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. THE JOKER'S WILD turned
their 3-2-0 turn into a 6th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than
this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see
HILDA win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, 3 JACKS beat D'ENDRRAH and
D'ENDRRAH lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. REPRESENT challenged ARUAK
CITY's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the
new, as REPRESENT takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.
Heh, heh. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where
do they get this stuff? From ARUAK CITY's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
ARUAK CITY, I am losing what little hope I had in you. WRATHMEN DM 20 the most
avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this
mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was BULLDOGS. Ha ha ha
ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, ROYAL BLUSH was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Looks like time for laurels or hemlock,
PAIR-O-SEVENS was challenged by KONANN CEE, who was ranked 28 points below him. And
sure, KONANN CEE lost alright, but gained 1 recognition for his pains. And pains
they may indeed be!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ARUAK CITY's
morgue. More variety. Gee, CHAOS CARNIVAL, ain't it past due for sending NURGLING
Dark Arena? What took ol' '10-9-1' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! Honor is like a
chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless
rebuke me on this one.
What does the ARUAK CITY arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide
Clemens

AVOIDS, BLOODFEUDS, & CHALLENGES
by Pagan
Ever wonder how the whole challenge/avoid thing works?
Who you fight depends on exactly how it works. We will never know exactly how it
works unless we can get a look at the coding for the program, but this is how I think
it works:
The Situation:
The system allows a warrior to make two separate challenges and two distinct
avoids.
Avoids are distinct in that they MUST indicate a specific team to be avoided, so
a "double avoid" indicates a single team twice, which by default means you are
avoiding one team. In this case, the second avoid is a duplicate and therefore a
waste of an avoid.
Challenges are to specific warriors. You have a first challenge, and then you
have a second challenge.
The Process:
First the computer removes all Dark Arena challengers from the list of available
warriors.
Second, the computer checks for WHO fights WHO by going though all TVs and
bloodfeuds, which are 100% sure to go through except in four instances:
1. the warrior challenged does not fight,
2. the warrior challenged is also making a bloodfeud or TV challenge and that
challenge has already been assigned,
3. the warrior has already been assigned to a Dark Arena fight,
4. that warrior has declared your team to be one of his warrior's avoids,
reducing your challenge to 50%.
Third, the computer assesses all the regular first-challenge warriors and assigns
fights. All other challenges are at 100% chance of success except in a few instances:
warrior challenged is going to the DA, warrior challenged is involved in a previously
assigned challenge, warrior challenged is not running this turn, or warrior challenged
has avoided your team at 50% chance to avoid.
Fourth, the computer assesses and assigns all secondary challenges of warriors
not so far assigned for bloodfeuds and TVs.
Fifth, the computer assesses and assigns all the regular second challenges.
Sixth, the computer assigns random matchups in each available class starting with
the highest class first.
Seventh, the computer finds the remaining warriors that have successfully avoided
all first and second challenges and/or who also did not get randomly assigned, AND for
whom no more available warriors remain in their class for random pairing. All of
these warriors get RSI-generated warriors to fight based on their class.
So, if I'm right and avoids reduce the chance for a challenge to 50%, then:
In the absence of an avoid
single challenge = 100% success
double challenge = 100% success, then an additional 100% success
Where an avoid is involved
single challenge vs avoid = 50% success
double challenge vs avoid = 75% (chance to avoid is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25; 1 -
0.25 = 75% chance to succeed
Bloodfeuds and TVs may increase the percentage chance of success above 100%, or
they may not. I feel that their increased ability to get through is based solely on
the way the computer assigns challenges. They are first, so they are most likely to
go through. The 100% chance for a challenge to succeed is 100% if it's a TV bloodfeud
and you are the first one to get assigned a fight that day because you are also the
Duelmaster. But after that the chances start to diminish rapidly.
The run-through for second challenges theoretically means your challenge should
be 100% but it's not the case if you are the LAST guy the computer goes to for finding
challenges.
If you don't double challenge, you significantly lower your chance to get your
challenge through. The second challenge is not equal to the first challenge.
