  1. In the interest of keeping this otherwise pointless topic alive, 'Spoons' has been known as an ungenerous term used with comical (or at least cynical) intent to describe those perceived as untrustworthy secondary to a known or assumed mental health problem.  This is derived from the belief that these people are not provided knives or forks (deemed as dangerous implements) with which to eat their meals when guests of the state/health service.

  2. I'm a little concerned about the lack of drug taking in our community!  Caffeine from 0600-1600hrs, beer/wine/spirits thereafter (unless you're on night shift then it's the reverse).

    Anyway, if I was drinking poncy American coffee then sure it'd be black.  However when you drink coffee that has it's own set of testicles and guarantees a gastric ulcer in the intolerant, then cream is a very pleasing addition.

    What is RNG?

    Random Number Generator (within the parameters set out in the mechanics of the game)

     

    In the instance of planes, random percentages of 40-100% are generated and applied to yours and your opponent’s plane count when you attack, the results multiplied by 3, then compared to work out the winner.  This is done 3 times to work out whether it’s UF PV MV or IT.

  4. Matters of probability make my brain hurt.  Though it does seem pretty stupid to have an even chance that, per roll, anything up to 60% of your aircraft might not be used in an attack.  I guess that risk has to be inserted somehow, though presently it doesn't reflect reality (as a sim should be attempting to do).  A sane person would never deliberately disadvantage themselves by sending 40% of their air-power and intentionally create a situation of numerical inferiority against an opponent.  RNG maybe should not be applied at that point where one is deliberately choosing to make an attack based on the numbers one is looking at.  RNG should be instead heavily applied to the defender in any attack as the person who is not the proactive party.
