In-game Troubleshooting / Re: 2 Problems

Thanks for the answer. In all cases the browser was connected. I don’t know exactly what happened but I found a solution:

I think that to be sure next time I will close the tab with elements before I leave home especially when I plan to play the game from another connection.

For the first problem, could the following thing have caused the problem?

I never close the browser at home. When I play at another computer from another connection and I return home I refresh the page and until now the cards I had won were in my stock. Is there any possibility for it to be the reason? Of course only one connection is active every time and every time I log in from another PC (the 4-5 times I did it) I refresh.

In-game Troubleshooting / 2 Problems

« on: March 04, 2011, 01:36:10 pm »

I just read that opera has problems. Until now I was using this browser from my house but I don’t think the problems have to do with that. There are 2 problems I want to mention.

1.I played this morning the game from another pc (not that at home). I have done this 3-4 times before. All the others times, when I went home, I had the cards I had won. This time I didn’t. It’s not about 4-5 upgraded cards. I just want to know if this problem is happening  sometimes when you change connection. (This morning I was playing with Mozilla so the problem isn’t the browser).

 2.The second is a card bag. It has to do with the antimatter ability. I use it always when the opponent has vampire. It is really great. This problem is in favor of me but I think it is a bug. I make the vampire -4/3 with the antimatter. When the opponent plays eclipse the creature becomes -6/4.  Normally it had to become -2/4 I think. When I destroyed eclipse the vampire become -8/3. After that if the opponent was playing again eclipse the creature was become -6/4 and when I was destroying it, it was becoming again -8/3.

When I was reading this topic I thought that every man would like to be Chuck Norris. Even Chuck Norris would like to be the man you are describing.

A father was at the beach with his children when the four- year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

--------------

A Greek walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.

He says he' s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the Greek hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce.

The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, he has the title and everything checks out.

The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank' s president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Greek for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank' s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Greek returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.

While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The Greek replies. "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?".

In my opinion the best is “steal”. The reason is simple. You afraid one card? (Especially mindgate or Electrum Hourgls or a powerful shield or weapon). You can just steal it even if you don’t need to use it. And especially if you play with rainbow decks and you can use the abilities of the card you stole.

If you want to rank the creature with the variable lets say: cost/attack/ability, there is a way in mathematica to do that. It is called multicritiria analysis. You have an objective function which is the rank of this creature. You want this to be max. You have to decide how you rank its parameter, for example 35%cost, 35% abilities, 30% attack, and then you will decide the equation to calculate its parameter. For example the attack between 0-10 will be evaluated with more points then between 11-20 and so on. Like the damage of catapult which is given from the equation (75 * HP) / (75 + HP). With the same way you will rank every parameter. Finally you will find the creatures that maximize the started equation with the parameter 35%cost, 35% abilities, 30% attack lets say...

Of course this is subjective. The % you will give in its parameter is your opinion and will depend from the deck you are constructing. So this will be your rank for those creatures. Someone else would rank the creatures with different way. So in the equations you will use there is a fuzzy parameter. This would input fuzzy logic in your problem. Fuzzy logic is the mathematical way to solve subjective problems.

But in fact the human brain works with fuzzy way. (In math if someone is 1,79m is medium height and if he is 1,80 is height. Of course this is not correct. The mind understands this better than classic math.) It has nothing to do with the 0/1 way that works computer and classic math. So it is better with your brain to rank witch creatures are better than with multicritiria analysis, and of course the use of fuzzy logic is something difficult to find the exact number of fuzziness in your problem.

I think that the best someone can do is to make a program that calculates the pillars/towers a deck must have with standard cards. This is the real problem. If you make this program you have solve the problem.

It is either a very unlucky day for me or the possibilities to win FGs are now 10% less then before. Hopefully I believe the new abilities will help the situation to change this percentage for the better.

Daddy? How did I come into this world?

Well, my child, some day I'll have to tell you any way...

So why not today? Please!!!

O.K., but listen carefully!
Mom and Dad met each other in a cyber cafe. In the restrooms of that cyber cafe, dad connected to mom. Mom at that time made some downloads from dad's memory stick. When dad finished uploading we discovered we used no firewall.
Since it was too late to cancel or delete, nine months later we ended up with a virus...

Sleeping Beauty said, "I believe myself to be the most beautiful girl in the world."
Tom Thumb said, "I must be the smallest person in the world."
Quasimodo said, "I absolutely have to be the ugliest person in the world."
They decided to go to the Guinness Book of World Records to have their claims verified.
Sleeping Beauty went first and came out looking deliriously happy. "It's official, I AM the most beautiful girl in the world."
Tom Thumb went next and emerged triumphant, "I am officially the smallest person in the world."
Sometime later, Quasimodo came out looking confused and said, "Who the hell is Camilla Parker Bowles?"

The man says, "What's the problem officer?"
Officer: You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone.
Man: No sir, I was going 65.
Wife: Oh, Harry. You were going 80. [Man gives his wife a dirty look.]

Officer: I'm also going to give you a ticket for your broken tail light.
Man: Broken tail light? I didn't know about a broken taillight!
Wife: Oh Harry, you've known about that taillight for weeks. [Man gives his wife another dirty look.]

Officer: I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt.
Man: Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car.
Wife: Oh, Harry, you never wear your seat belt.
Man turns to his wife and yells: "Shut your damn mouth!"
