After my inability to calculate or understand basic probability, I think that might now be my new "thing" on F:AT. Kind of like how Barnes sells all of his games, and how Black Barney never talks about games.

Eh. That's OK. They're just saying you're the mark the next (first) time we all get together to play poker.

What's the context here? Are we talking like real-life dyscalculia, or did you just muff some roll?

In the "what board games are you playing" thread, I erroneously said that four of a kind of easier to get on five dice than a straight. When this was pointed out, I tried to claim the same thing, only that a straight is easier to get than a three of a kind. The first time was just me shooting from the hip, the second time was me actually misreading a chart of probabilities. (It's a full house, not three of a kind that is harder to get than a straight.)

The context here is that it feels to me that Dicetown doesn't really reward good hands in a proportional way, and I was kind of feeling my way through the idea that the ranks of the hands in the game aren't actually reflective of the probabilities of rolling those combinations.

This could actually happen, fellow Michigan resident.

Although, admittedly, I really want to get a game of Here I Stand going, rather than poker.

I'm going to be at Stormseeker's place on the 10th and would love to both meet you and take your money at poker. ;)

And, as a long standing member of F:AT, I hereby declare you Nate "NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS" Solo

How long will you be in Michigan? Wednesday is usually bad for me, but I might be able to squeeze in some coffee or something.

I'll be at Steve's place (Ann Arbor) on that one day only. Well, to be fair, the next day I'll be in Troy most of the day (until 4ish) and then I'm planning on heading back home.

Those mouffers can stay another day rotted up, David. Take a personal day. It's 2 weeks out.

Could probably do that, provided Steve's willing to tell me where it is... Not sure about the time, though. Will be in the Yucatan the previous week, so won't be able to duck out of the office.

Pete's on drugs. It's Howell, not Ann Arbor. :) I would be very happy to have you wonderful folks over for an evening of gaming. David is a long way from me, but he should suck it up and come hang. Those people will still have fucked up teeth the following day.

Marc, I'd love to see you again. It's been a long time. I am a shitty, shitty friend and I owe you an apology for sure.

I think Pete will probably get to my place at like 6:30-7? Maybe we should take this to e-mail. My username at g mail dot com.

Done and done (except that someone else is going to have to add Pete and Nate, since I don't have their electronic addresses (or their real ones, for that matter.))
