@froodster:
Hey, I think I just got moderated :-o
I’ll take you up on your offer. And yes, I do go more off the subjective “this has worked for me/against me in the past” more seriously then a calculator. Calculators are cold and, well, if you’ll excuse the pun, calculating. They don’t take into account luck, they only show the average result.
I’m not saying they don’t have a place in teh game! (I used to say they ruined the game, but I’ve come to use them myself.) But I don’t want to base my strategy off the hope that the dice will fall where the calculator says it will fall.
And, if we extrapolate further, the calculator cannot tell you what to buy or what your oppionent is going to buy. (When it can I’ll pit my laptop against any of your crummy systems! :P Dominque here will kick your rosey imperialistic arses! hehe.)
