Default Re: Very serious combat bug?

Well, in terms of using probability, you all are looking at this incorrectly.

How long has this game been out? How many games have been played in that time? In all of those games, how many battles have there been? In each battle, how many calculations how many calculations were made?

The fact that an incredibly rare event occurred (6^10 =~ 362 Million) is not unreasonable. Let's just say that there have been 1 Million calculations made (and that number is definitely very low), then that is a 1 / 362 chance that this rare event occurred in one of those instances...

So, it just happened that you had to be that one very unlucky one who gets this incredibly rare event. Now, if this started to occur on a more regular basis, then that would be different. If something were wrong with the random number generator, I think more people would be getting strange events like this.
