Customs Creation - December 2016

Posted December 17th, 2016 at 12:23 AM by HS Codex

YACE
Author: IshMEL

When designing a custom, everyone eventually comes to the same question: how much should this thing cost? Some ’Scapers seem to have an intuitive sense for costing. I am not one of them. So, like many others before me, I tried to figure out a formula. I call mine YACE, for “Yet Another Cost Estimator.”

What is YACE for? It’s good for coming up with an initial idea of what a unit might cost, which you can then test and adjust. As I’ll go into, there are a lot of things that YACE doesn’t take into account.

To come up with YACE, I did a regression analysis on the data for the (and I’m including Marvel here, but excluding them doesn’t affect the results that much).

I’m no statistician, so bear with my errors in explanation here. A “multiple linear regression” looks at several “independent variables”

Witch

I know I am wrong to use the term witch. I like witches. I think there are a lot of good things about witches. But in this case I’m using it to describe my new neighbour.

She’s not actually new. She’s been there two years now. Obviously she has money, for she’s fixed the little house up, erected a deck and added lots of cute outdoor decor. I don’t know her name. She’s never spoken to me.

My one interaction with her was by proxy on the day she moved in. In the afternoon there was a terrific pounding on my front door. It was a young woman I did not know. She was angry, impatient, rude, blonde. She said her mother had just moved in next door and could I right now take the shower doors out of the shed?

I had no idea what she was talking about.

Apparently the people who’d lived there before had shower doors in the shed and had lied and said I wanted them and would take them. That way they didn’t have to move them. Coincidentally...

Classic 'Scape Strategy - December 2016

One of the earliest expansion units, the Anubian Wolves often get forgotten, especially in the tournament scene, due to their inconsistency. That doesn’t make them subpar units, however; the Anubians are more than just the occasional lucky 20.

Well met!

Sunset on the Cliffs Hotel/Resort


Tomorrow morning (11/30/16), we will be leaving for our annual vacation in Negril, Jamaica. This year, we will be staying (for about four weeks) at the same hotel at which a couple of friends have been staying (their annual stay being for around three months). We're pretty much all packed - including the 'Scape - so Raid on the New Hindenburg! is a wrap.

’Scaper of the Month
The Grim Reaper’s Friend
Author: Fi Skirata


Profile:

Who are you really?
Stephen King.

Okay, not really. I’m Thomas Myron, known as Tommy locally.

How old are you?
Twenty-two and counting. Obviously counting. It’s not like I’ve discovered the secret to immortality or anything.

What is your occupation?
My occupation? I have several, each as unofficial as the last. Coming from a family that is self-employed, I’ve always thought out of the box where jobs are concerned. My deepest dread is that I will end up in an unchanging 9–5 job with the rest of the world.

In my pursuit against that dreaded outcome, I work out of my home, helping with my parents’ online businesses in a variety of ways.

I am also interested in writing, and have
