We're probably staying in SF for about 2 days before moving on. The mobile home indeed won't be needed until we leave. Just read on a rental site that "Vehicles may be operated with EXTREME CARE in Death Valley and other desert areas during the months of July and August. In Summer, renters...

The girlfriend and I are planning a 3 week holiday in the US, coming next June. The plan at the moment is to fly to NYC, spend one week there, then fly to San Fransisco, rent a mobile home and then spend 2 weeks driving around the West: Yosemite, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, then maybe...

Actually the sooner you use them, the better. It's not like you earn more xp per game at higher levels, so it's no use saving them "for those slow levels". Most importantly is that you win when you have your boost active to optimize your gold and xp doubling. So use them when you are on a...

Just wanted to say oh wow at Pats turning this game around. Stayed up until 3.15 AM local time to catch the first quarter but very soon regretted that.Made a little wish to wake up to the news of an epic reversal and lo and behold, Brady delivered.

It does not matter, the chances to win for each contestant is 50%. Edit: Let me explain a bit: each contestant has an initial 1 in 100 chance to pick the winning door. Practically speaking, the host will have to reset the experiment in 98% of the cases (by having the contestants repick a...

That link gives a 404 error.

So you're saying that switching QB's is the right choice and thus the odds of the Bears reaching the play-offs have improved from 50/50 to 2/3?

1) In EQ I played in a so called European guild (conveniently called 'Europa') but we had a good mix of North and South American, European, Mid and Far East players. It worked well, but the segregation of US/EU/AS servers introduced by WoWkilledthat concept. I still don't understand why that...

Loved GalCivII, but after the utter crap Stardock served in the form of 'Elemental: War of Magic' I'm done with spending money on games before they get a few good reviews.

Still you'd think it would be spotted more when a TD is made from the 1, since all TD's are being reviewed, no? (disclaimer: I'm a Euro who's just following football since a couple of years)

- Reintroduce global servers. Small, regional servers were a horrible idea for the formation of communities. - Slow down the pace of the game, so you can chat again by typing instead of having to press a button every global cooldown.

Yup, that was it. Thanks. And thank you housing tool for not telling me but suggesting I put a table and chair or so.

I feel like a total retard, but I spend the last 2 hours trying to build my first house. Followed the wiki: got background wall, walls, ceiling and floor. Housing tool says I need light source, chair and table. Added a door to because what's a house without a door, right? 'No sir, this is not...

Meh, I put the game down after being killed for thenth time by Nito (don't have a holy weapon to keep the adds dead), Manus or Kalameet. Which reminds me, I can still do Lost Izalith.

Ok, since you still seem to be open to reason, let me also give it a shot to explain. Round 1: In the first round, your pick has a 1 in 3 chance to contain the car: p(your pick) = 33% Round 2: The host opens one of the two unselected doors, revealing a goat. So now there are 2 doors still...

Yeah, he gets it, but is too proud to admit it. You have to be Merlin level stupid to not understand it by now. A once great man said: Anyway, it puts him in the same team as Aladain in the poll results:Bootsand50/50.

There is nothing 'extremely debatable' about the Monty Hall problem. The correct strategy is to always switch your pick. Several links to explanations have been provided. Yes it's a bit counter intuitive, yes people's explanation aren't always clearing things up, but it's pure math and zero...

Once you realize the answer to these two questions is yes, you can step into the light. Step into the light, bro.

In some cases he only has 1 door he can open (you picked a goat door in round 1, so he has to open the other goat door because he can't show you the car). Thatdoesinject information into the equation and should influence your choice, hence the switch. Guys guys back off and give the man some...

Oh shit, Araysar isserious? That changes the premise totally. Ara, I love you (non-homo way) but here you're wrong. The first pick is not meaningless, it changes the options for the game master in that he in some cases now is limited in his choice of which door to open. That in itself is...

So what you arereallysaying is you are able to pick the car on your first choice in 4 of the 8 cases, instead of an expected 1 in 3?

So to rephrase the problem: Choose one of 3 doors. Behind it is the truth about Araysar (a)trollinghardor (b)really being obtuse. Then one door is opened for us, in which it is revealed Araysar is (b)really being obtuse. So we switch - because we hoping to find he's just (a)trollinghard- but...

Oh sorry. Well, I know nothing about automechanics. I'm not an engineer.

Also Tuco will fix your bumper, with a sturdy 2 by 4.

Well in EU you set your own goals, so if you feel like you won, you won. Start a new game with a whole different nation, or change your goals to something challenging again, like 'conquer England' or 'Colonize South America' with the Ottomans.

Yeah just to have 2 inf as a buffer, but n/4/n is fine too.

Split your army in 2 stacks when you're trying to catch an evading opponent's army. Pin them with one stack and the other can join the fight. Just keep them close enough so they can join fast enough. Stackwise, I go withninf, 4 cav andn-2 arty.

When brokering a peace deal, force them to release independant nations or return cores to other nations.

Ideas stay at a 400 cost, while tech costs rise quickly if you're too far ahead. So I look at the relative costs and gains of ideas versus techs. I think it's a good idea to pick 1 idea from each of the 3 pools (admin, diplo, military) so your ideas don't compete among eachother for monarch points.

With the arty nerf from 8.6, you'll see a lot less of it on the battlefield. So pure scouting is a lot less important, and arty hunting isn't a big part of the game anymore either. I consider it pretty much a waste of time to hunt arty, until the game is decided.

ST-I is a great tank. Tough as nails. It solves the one problem of the KV-4, which is the unsloped turret.

IS-3 is a great tank but my personal preference in T8 goes to the KV-4. Even when paired against T10's, the KV-4 can made a stand. The IS-3, not really.

Used the 2nd key, thanks.

Correct. With last patch they also spread arty out up to T10, so you can calculate their matching like MT/HT/TD's. Scouts still have their own matchmaking spreads, and then some premium tanks have 'preferred' matchmaking (eg. IS-6 is a T8 premium heavy that only will be matched in T8/9 games...

No, honestly, there is no rule for T8 to only play in T8 games. I just jumped solo into a game with my IS-3, it was a T9 game (4 T9's, 7 T8's and 4 T7's each side). Edit: And now I'm in a T10 with 5 T10's in my KV-4.

Yeah, I have no fun playing arty anymore either. About you not meeting T9/10 tanks when solo in a tier 8, I guess that's just luck or perception bias. When you platooned, I assume it was with other T8's, not with T9/10? Because then of course a T9+ battle is guaranteed.

No, there is no difference between platoons and solo in rules for matchmaking. But the amount of platooned players (+-1) is balanced over the 2 teams, so for example 2 3-player platoons in team one versus 3 2-player platoons in team 2. Well there are public company fights you can chose to join...

The new physics are active since patch 8.0, that was somewhere in autumn 2012. Now those demolition derby videos aren't exactly how a WoT game goes. @Quineloe: yes, playing in randoms in lower tiers is painful, but I enjoy playing T8-10 games. Most people at that level have the minimum...

Is this the comedian B. Franklin?
