"My weight problem"

Posted by rbrown on Aug-30-02 at 12:08 PM
Not really a problem, just a helpful BUG.

A team was carrying around a 44 pound plate mail+3 in the common pool and I was wondering how the weight was distributed among the 8 players. So I clicked it into-and-outof the pool while checking the load on each player. The total weight loss was 21 pounds (44/8 players=5.5 pounds * 4 players = 22). I then repeated the experiment with the 100 pound sledgehammer and the total weight loss/gain was 50 pounds.

I appreciate the 50 free pounds, but a game as obsessed with statistics as this one should either provide an antigravity sled or a pet donkey or make things weigh less and add the numbers up correctly.

Then it gets even more confusing where the weight goes ... Must be the pentium rounding error
