Just getting there is an achievement of its own. Holding there isn't possible at all, you can't do squat to prevent good luck shining on others.

Let me rephrase it then.

Now you only need to be lucky enough to stay there for two more days.

Oh, I might watch it later.

 

[LadyHecate]

nobody is going to finish FoE.

Plenty finish with FoE though!

Yay!

Gratz! I should have taken a screen shot when I was first to play in my 'hood after the event began with my high score of 10!

110 diamonds and roughly 300 florins got wasted....

That's why it's called gambling with the adage "When the fun stops, quit!"

Pancakes.

 

[LadyHecate]

Pancakes.

Did you hear about the angry pancake? He just flipped.

M. No dice. Assuming 70 players in the hood, 24 tickets each, half used to 5% pot is 840 tickets/day, and also an average of 42 pots won/day. This is way too much to have a decent (>1%) chance for 1800 tickets (watch for 9h over 2d on that screenshot) resulting in a pot exceeding mere 42 losses AND all those pots that do to be collected by a single person. (IIRC the value of losses between successive wins is a random Poisson value, or is at least approximated by one, this distribution has a great tail)

Good Morning. This is the first thing I’m reading today. I made it up to ‘24 tickets each’ then nothing more made sense. Perhaps I’m not quite awake yet...

Good morning, everyone!

Just been laughing at the huge snowman the soldiers on night duty have built in the General's car parking space!

Is this in real life? Or did I miss something?

Real life!

Do you want to build a snowman?

[DeletedUser]

I hadn't heard about the angry pancake, but I'll keep my eyes open for it.

 

[AussieAlex]

I prefer crepes with lemon and sugar to pancakes.

 

[Emberguard]

yum, now I want pancake

 

[DeletedUser110179]

British pancakes.

 

[Emberguard]

If that was wholemeal I'd be really, really hungry just looking at that. Already got me wanting to eat it. Looks good!

 

[AussieAlex]

British pancakes.

My favourite! With golden syrup is second.
