It would be during the tgt era because thats when it happened to me. So you only have to worry about tgt and before. Standard didnt start until old gods iirc.


So
Classic + Basic + Naxxramus + GvG + BRM + TGT
And The minions that have been put into hall of fame from that time.

59 + 151 + 25 + 95 + 23 + 100 + 6
Azure Drake, Coldlight Oracle, Old Murk-eye, Sylvanas, Ragnaros and Molten Giant being the 6 HoF cards.

459 minions.

2 / 459 chances to get either tirion or jaraxxus on the first portal
1 / 459 to get specifically the other one on the second

2 in 210,681 to get specifically those 2 over 2 portals.

The chance of getting specifically those 2 in two consecutive games would be those odds squared or:
4 out of 44,386,483,761 (roughly 1 in 11 billion)

But realistically you can just stick with the 2 in 210,681 because that's the chance of the second games portals specifically matching the first games portals, which could have been any two random minions unless you were specifically aiming for Tirion/Jaraxxus from the outset. Because that first game could have been sylvanas and king krush and you'd have been just as impressed if the second game matched specifically those 2.

Or the game gets called a billion times because that's how it works and scum/survivor win a billion times.

Yes, you could force everyone to talk it out. Or you could say "Scum outnumbers town. Survivor is only in it for himself so he doesn't count. Scum wins."

Presumably the game will have been balanced with 1 less scum in that scenario to account for a survivor at endgame so I don't see that being an unfair result.

The distinction is that at 2-2 it is impossible for scum to be lynched if they are playing to win


If you give the survivor the same benefit of the doubt that you are giving scum in that scenario then they would automatically fulfill their wincon.

Not to mention if scum faction claims, survivor can decide to turn on them.


This is where I'm not sure I agree. Survivor's prime directive is to win with whichever side wins, right? So why would they not automatically count as achieving their win condition in that scenario?

Imagine a day that starts with 5 people.

Vanilla
Vanilla
Vanilla
Scum
Scum Vig (still has shot).

If vanilla is lynched, game is over right? You don't say "well, if he wanted to, the scum vig could shoot his scummate, so since he has the free will to play completely opposed to his win condition we have to play on!

Edit: Suprak beat me to it.

So he coined out the spooder-maker.

And then got all 3 spooders in a row.

Opening Hand = 4 cards + Coin.
Turn 1 = draw a card (25 left in deck)
Turn 2 = draw a card (24 left in deck)
Turn 3 = draw a card, coin out guy and put 3 additional cards in deck. (26 cards in deck)

3 / 26 * 2 / 25 * 1 / 24 = 6 / 15600

or 1 in 2600

That's not even close to some of the odds that ulti has claimed have occurred to him. Gonna have to try a lot harder than turn 4 triple ambush.

I'd be interested in those resources as well.

Currently hovering between ranks 4-2, but the grind is on hold while I have fun with the new arena cards. Currently 5-1 in a rogue draft that I wasn't expecting much from, but 2x envenom weapon with 2x dejavu and 1x that-guy-that-prevents-weapon-durability-reduction has resulted in some very clean wins so far. Only 1x guy that steals top card from opponent's deck and 1x stasis dragon to round out the rest of my unique cards (with the 2 dejavu), but I could see this cracking 10 pretty easily.

Were you covered by the free insurance? If you didn't cancel a plan even if you don't qualify for it then I could see it causing problems.


I didn't think so.

I knew I was covered in 2015-2016, because I applied in 2015 to be covered to 2016.

And I allowed it to lapse from there because I knew that I was already going to be personally out of range just from my own income, and I was engaged and knew that jointly we would not qualify as well.

So I had every reason to believe that I was done with Medi-Cal and they were done with me.

.

Even so though, if you have a phone plan with company A and you start a new plan and transfer your phone number over to company B then your plan with A gets cancelled (and you pay early termination fees if applicable). Plan A doesn't show up and cancel B for no reason. Clearly you were done with A if you were starting something new with B. Especially if the information from plan A is several years old, they would have even less reason to interject.

Yeah CC was a breeze to get set up and i was very pleased with the plans available.

Then Medi-Cal showed up and torpedoed it.

.

I think its "resolved" now.

But thev resolution is that i purchased the same plan i had before at nearly the same price i had before. But that's not exactly the same thing as "reactivating" the plan i had before. I guess ill find out if i have the same policy number i had before when blue shield processes us in 7-10 business days.

But to see the right plan as an option i had to switch from last year's exact financial figures to 'close approximations' based on our checks so far this year. Hopefully i won't get screwed in reconciliation come tax time -_-

Yeah I'm sure there is some sort of inherent "logic" that dictates things getting handled the way they did, it's just frustrating being a victim of it.

New information:

-We entered a certain amount of income when we applied, it qualified us for some nice plans.

-Medi-Cal "fixed" our income to some other amount for some reason.

-Now upon refixing our income to the correct amount it is not giving us nearly the same plans as options as we had before. Because apparently instead of just starting us back with the plan we had we have to "buy" health insurance again instead of just reactivating the plan we were previously on.

Whyyyyy

That's the only chain of events i can see causing this, but I'm no expert on the individual market. I guess there could also be some mixup if the first company is a subsidiary of the BCBS, since companies under the same umbrella are sometimes even worse at communicating than competitors.


They definitely have mentioned multiple times that they are at least partially connected.

So it registered with Medi-Cal when I signed up with Covered CA and it registered that I was listing a different income than I listed in 2015.

.

But at that point there should be some logic involved. It should have been something along the lines of:

"Oh his income is too high for us, and he signed up for a plan that doesn't involve us. So we can just close our book on him"

Because that would make sense given the circumstances. The only scenario in which it would require follow up would be

"Okay, well his income is too high now, but he's used our service a bunch of times so we need to find out when his income changes because that could affect the amount we've paid out."

But I never used their services so that's a moot point :/

I'm at the step of trying to get Covered Ca / Blue Shield turned back in.

I call in.

I spend 25 minutes trying to get the poor guy on the same page as me. He has to put me on hold like 6 times while he figures it out. It takes much longer than it probably should, but at least he's finally on the same page.

"Okay, we can try to turn it back on now I just need you to confirm-" *call drops*.

I wait a few minutes expecting him to call back, because that's what you are supposed to do in a call center when the call drops. But nothing. I'm sure he just didn't want to deal with my issue, but now I have to go through the whole thing AGAIN with the next person.

Well it apparently is only a problem because i signed up for Medi-Cal in 2015-2016 when my income was low enough that I qualified for it.

And as far as I knew medi-cal has been out of the picture for the past 2 years. Until it decided to emerge from the shadows for reasons I still can't wrap my head around.

But if you've never been on the free insurance then it should be a non issue? Otherwise I guess you have to pre-emptively cancel your free insurance before you start paying for insurance, but I'm not sure how you are supposed to know that in advance.

FD: I'm signing up for health insurance, yippee!

Covered California : Your combined income is too high for Medi-Cal (free insurance), but here are the plans we can offer you! (lists plans)

FD: Okay great, I'll take that one! (selects a plan)

Covered California: Okay great, here you go! (gives FD the Blue Shield plan he selected)

.

.

.

-May 31st, 2018-

Medi-Cal: OH WHAT THE?! YOU DON'T QUALIFY FOR US ANYMORE? AND YOU SIGNED UP FOR A PLAN THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE US IN ANY WAY? WELL HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE. YOU NEED TO SEND US PROOF THAT YOU DON'T QUALIFY FOR US, BUT LIKE YESTERDAY. WE"RE JUST GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CANCEL YOUR COVERED CA / BLUE SHIELD PLAN WHILE WE WAIT FOR YOU TO PROVE THAT YOU DON'T QUALIFY FOR US. BUT WE'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO TELL YOU THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED, YOU ARE JUST GOING TO RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL LETTING YOU KNOW YOUR NEW HEALTH INSURANCE ISN'T ACTIVE ANYMORE AND YOU WONT KNOW WHY. GOOD LUCK, SUCKER.

Fin.


As near as I can tell that is a completely accurate retelling of what happened. And over the past couple weeks i've had to call everyone and their mother to try and diagnose what caused the insurance to stop working.

I still can't for the life of me figure out why no longer qualifying for something unrelated has caused it to stop working or why I need to submit proof that I no longer qualify for the unrelated. I fully understand having to prove if I did qualify and was trying to receive benefits, but this is just to show that I don't.

.

Edit: Oh and it still isn't even resolved yet. I've submitted proof to the unrelated medi-cal that they requested, but I still need the other parties to get the greenlight to restart my services.

Scare lived through N3 also. There were so many reasons for you to believe I was town but it seems like you wanted me dead.


In this scenario you would have tried and failed to kill scare on night 2, either confirming for you that town had a second protection, or that scare was lying with his insinuated protection. (You might at this point suspect his hints were just him drawing a shot as town bp) Either way if you tried and failed n2 you don't shoot scare again n3 or until you know why you failed.

And while there were other reasons to think you were town, but Zam's lie nullified my hard guarantee that you couldnt possibly be scum.

The amount im willing to do to defend "probably town" is much much less than the lengths i would go for "couldn't possibly be scum in this universe or any other".

But no, those were a lie that literally served as the only reason i doubted foolmo.

Why would you doubt me because of his claim? That sounds like a dumb excuse


As i explained previously, my being convinced of you hinged on your interaction with scare and the fact that scare was not killed on night 2.

1) you and scare had your little doctor interaction on day 2.

2) scare was not killed on night 2.

3) therefore foolmo could not have been scum.

At this point my belief is that scare was doctor and that you and i knew about it.

Come to find out that scare claims backup instead of doctor.

And then zam claims doctor.

And then zam claims to have saved Scare on the very same night where his survival convinced me of your innocence.

.

Do you see how that pokes a potential hole in the reason why i was convinced about you? Especially since we knew there was a scum extra kill at some point that we never saw evidence of.

And why im god dang furious at @Alakazamtrainer for LYING for literally no reason?

This is something scum could easily do to avoid giving actual contributions of their own.

Yes which is why I strongly felt FD was godfather. Still was highly valuable though.


The thing people don't seem to understand is that I put together the "knowledge dumps" for myself. I approach things very logically and it is helpful to me to try and put this in as much order as i can so i can view things objectively. It helps me cut through the chaos that others seem to thrive on.

I think the most successful of those efforts in this past game was when i came to the conclusion that scare and foolmo were both town based on an interaction i noticed while putting together the claims list. Unfortunately for foolmo, scare was saved on night 2 which gave me a reason to doubt him, otherwise id have defended his mislynch to the very end.

I presumably could just make the lists for my eyes only and not share them with anyone else but that seems pretty anti town.
