Discuss: Concrete Ballin'

Silly question:  is there now any advantage at all to going to the training room?

Just zero risk of losing EXP?

just that and 100% risk of being a big fat Hoyda.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm on the gridiron, nancies.

[Cerevant]

If you are injured, you can lose a game by forfeit.

[hbionic]

Hey Cerevant....so when am I gonna be able to get a real challenge? Looks like I leveled up too quick.

I should just max out and wait?

my power or Defense won't go up anymore...and speed either.

[Diomedes]

so what I need to do is get a big streak together and sit on it to train before I accumulate enough exp to level up

[hbionic]

This is what came up when I challenged myself for a game:

If you are going to play with yourself, don't do it here.

[Cerevant]

To clarify: your chance to increase a stat is 100 - your current stat.  So, 70 Power has a 30% chance of increasing.  80 Power has  a 20%.  Once you get past 95% you always have a 5% chance.  You can expect a lot of zeros once you hit that point.

I think HB lucked around the bug that was in the leveling code - when people were having trouble gaining, it was using the reverse formula of the above: 10 Power had a 10% chance, etc.  So as HB got higher, it got easier to raise his stats.

The moral of the story is that you can expect an arbitrary reduction in stats in the not too distant future

You as in 'me' or as in 'us'?

[Cerevant]

You, as in 'us', but especially you.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

learycm's team is a good experience getter.

Although, there should probably be more experience based on the stats (not just level) of people you beat, and there should probably be a rule about beating the pulp out of people more than once.

Now I'm at level 2 so I'm sitting in the training room just to annoy Chuggs.

Final Score:
Geo's Whizzers 63
Spankers 0

Supposedly, my team intercepted the ball at their own 18, but the next offensive play started at the Spanker's 16, which was where the play before started from.

Apparently, I am nearly unbeatable... except for FF.  He's my team's kryptonite.

[Geowhizzer]

Two comments/questions: 

1.  I almost don't want to say this, but I don't think that the streak thing is working correctly.  I should have a streak of 6 (after FF challenged and defeated my team), but I'm listed as a streak of 10. 

2.  What is the OTA thing?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I have a 10 streak and 0% EXP (just got to level 2).

Just trained Power 5 times and got ZILCH.  That can't be working as designed.

[hbionic]

Now I'm at level 2 so I'm sitting in the training room just to annoy Chuggs.

You could be sitting anywhere and you'd still annoy me.
