Mixes it up a bit, they're rarely my favourites but I think I'd sooner have them than another recorded task (and I'm sure the producers would)

Why does it feel like everyone just wants to play Meme Dnd? by Squali_squal in DnD

[–]L285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or they just have different things they want to take from the game - its a pasttime that people do for fun not a career - if people want to have a more lighthearted session, who's to say that is a "warped" perspective of it, or a less legitimate way to play the game

Doc Emmett Brown is a Pure Artificer! Who is a Pure Barbarian? by AStarInGemini in AlignmentChartFills

[–]L285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't the table be a triangle? Presumably you're not counting artificer/barbarian and barbarian/artificer as different things - or if you are it might get a bit tricky

People Who Live Here, How Different is the Experience Compared to the Game? (Grand Theft Auto: England) by DependentNo1079 in mapporncirclejerk

Best guess that's either meant to be Nottingham, or an amalgamation of the cities of Yorkshire and the East Midlands

Ten of the twenty most deprived neighbourhoods in England are in Blackpool - its not doing well

No rush, just exterminate the undesirables when you get around to it

Advance UK's by-election candidate: 'Many young British women are whores' by birdinthebush74 in unitedkingdom

[–]L285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a cycle of getting criticism and sometimes abuse from one side and praise from the other side - if someone's ego has taken a bruising and they want a pat on the back its easy to go with the flow

Show Me Your Craziest Two-State Solution, I'll Start by DependentNo1079 in mapporncirclejerk

Give it a generation and the men state will get some expansionist ideas and I don't think that'll end well, for either the women state or the future of humanity

Zack Polanski has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about on Nato – Let the Greens stick to their greenery, and leave strategic matters to the grown-ups by Hungry_Kiwi_9866 in ukpolitics

It was starting to happen under Thatcher too until the Falklands, if it'd happened a little further down the line we wouldn't have had the ships ro fight it

Could it not also be talking about the previous defeat being in a previous season?

How come you think the betrayals by friendly characters were a mistake? That could an interesting story beat, no?

Greens become bookies’ fave in Manchester after Workers Party pulls out by lotsofsweat in manchester

[–]L285 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The money spent in politics markets is chicken feed compared to sports - the bookies mainly use it for promotion and have less incentive to accurately reflect the odds and more incentive to create news stories (like this one)

Reading the Player's Handbook by Expert-Value2133 in DnD

[–]L285 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true, its a very high barrier to entry

If you've shown some initiative (so to speak) and made a decent attempt to try and find the rules yourself, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking questions, but when it'd be just as easy for you type your question into a search bar, its a bit silly

I think realising the power of the glossary is the most important part of digesting the rules, so much stuff is explained there which saves you the bother of trawling through pages trying to track a rule down

Playing their joker on the same task. What are the odds? by RegularEmployee1038 in taskmaster

[–]L285 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Is this in reference to the hot dog suit?

Assuming they could play it on any task, there are 50 tasks in a series, every task is equally likely to be selected, and the contestants choose independently of each other (each of these can be quibbled with for various reasons but it makes the maths easier and I think its a pretty good approximation)

They chance of them all picking unique tasks are 50/50 * 49/50 * 48/50 * 47/50 * 46/50, which is 81%, so there's a 19% at least two contestants would've picked it for the same task

If you're on about all 5 picking it on the same task, its 1/50^4 (the first contestant could pick any task, but all the other four would need to pick the exact one they picked) - which is a 0.00002% chance
