Re: Casters of Valhalla
Stinger Drain is basically the perfect example of unfavorably asymmetric bet. You win more ofter than you lose, but when you lose you lose way way more than you gain, more than enough to make up for how often you are winning. Like picking up quarters in front of a steamroller.
As mentioned before, it's really only an option when you want to introduce variance into the game, like if you think you need the quarters so bad it's fine to go in front of the steamroller to pick them up since you'll die if you don't. But in reality I think even in those cases you probably have a higher winrate if you just hope you roll a lot of skulls without the Drain. The Stinger Drain math you can do shows it as unfavorable even when you don't account for the lost Stinger in your startzone. 10 Years of Gencon/Scapecon Battle Reports - Comic Battle Reports - Probability Calculator App - Reverse the Whip Army Archetypes "It's all about the game." - Sgt.

Re: Casters of Valhalla
I think it’s at least worthy of looking into and doing some experimenting with. Ever since the Stingers came out the notion has always been to seldom Drain, and almost every person I’ve see with Stingers seldom does, including myself. But then there’s Hendal, who is like the only person who Drains often. And he wins. A lot. So I think there’s something to it.
But I’m always attracted to aggressive and sometimes swingy play, so there’s that. Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. |

Re: Casters of Valhalla
Ok, you're in the queue. I'll probably get to it tomorrow. You got a little formatting weirdness in iTunes: "<p> Join Mike, Ken, and Cody . . ."

Re: Casters of Valhalla
Yup. That's why I told you.
I don't have a problem with 95 minutes. The smaller crew is good, too. That would be too long to listen to you guys ramble, but if it's good, then it's good. I'll let you know. |
