How do you know they aren't just the "luckiest of the lucky"? Someone has to be the right edge of the bell curve. -- jimAnd yet the same players top the leader board year after year.

It's equally implausible that you are the greatest ASL player in the universe, albeit one at the left edge of that bell curve of yours.How do you know they aren't just the "luckiest of the lucky"? Someone has to be the right edge of the bell curve. -- jim
Oh come on. That’s like asking a heroin addict if they’ve considered marijuana.It's equally implausible that you are the greatest ASL player in the universe, albeit one at the left edge of that bell curve of yours.
Had you considered that you might be playing the wrong game? No HOB or SAN in Starter Kit.
There is still 2's and 12's. I am sure those are still going to work against me. -- jimIt's equally implausible that you are the greatest ASL player in the universe, albeit one at the left edge of that bell curve of yours.

Didn't the Ringworld Puppeteers breed humans for luck, or am I remembering wrong?How do you know they aren't just the "luckiest of the lucky"? Someone has to be the right edge of the bell curve. -- jim
You're remembering right, but choosing ASL players as breeding stock is a plan with a flaw.Didn't the Ringworld Puppeteers breed humans for luck, or am I remembering wrong?
Damn Steve, you talk like you've played me before, but I don't recall it.The worst ASL player is the one who takes 20 minutes to move a meaningless HS in the back; argues both sides of a rule depending on which way serves him at the moment; cries about his luck incessantly; and finds any number of ways to suck the joy out of the experience. It has nothing to do with how well they play or wins and losses. JMHO...

And he's playing you now it seems.Damn Steve, you talk like you've played me before, but I don't recall it.
Science tells me there is no such thing as lucky people (at least in terms of rolling dice)How do you know they aren't just the "luckiest of the lucky"? Someone has to be the right edge of the bell curve. -- jim
science lies....... How many centuries did they declare the world was flat? or Aristotle was right about a geocentric view of the universe? Never trust a scientistScience tells me there is no such thing as lucky people (at least in terms of rolling dice)
ASL keeps telling me year after year that there is such a thing.
I'm going with science and situational perceptual bias, even if at times I have a hard job convincing myself of this
Those associated with the Catholic Church declared the world was flat. Science was immaterial to that determination by Papal decree. Remember that your medical doctor is a scientist. If you don't trust them stop going to them when you get sick or find a faith healer.science lies....... How many centuries did they declare the world was flat? or Aristotle was right about a geocentric view of the universe? Never trust a scientist
To be fair to Aristotle, the evidence that the earth orbits the sun is pretty subtle and well outside what they could have managed in ancient Greece. If I could remember vehicle notes as well as science trivia, I would be a lot further from the worst ASL player.science lies.......

Science tells you there is a bell curve in all normal distributions. Why do you dismiss that here? -- jimScience tells me there is no such thing as lucky people (at least in terms of rolling dice)

Because it doesn't ring true?...sorry couldn't resist. I know I am now not awash in your sea of indifference.Science tells you there is a bell curve in all normal distributions. Why do you dismiss that here? -- jim
My tactics in two sentences.The worst ASL player is the one who can't roll higher than a three. You don't have to be good if you are lucky.
