That VH and H are essentially even? Someone mentioned this in another thread, and my results suggest the same thing.

No they are not.
Your range for signing a recruit at H could be anywhere from 40% to 25%.

Sure the TOP end of High and the BOTTOM end of Very High can be touching, but that's it.

I wouldn't say they are even specially when they can influence the dice like gameplay with double teams and if leading scorer.

What part of speech is "specially"? Who is they? Dice like gameplay? I don't even know what that means.

If you would keep data yourself you will find that out on your own.

Baffling.

I would wager Wardo's mom did some serious drugs while he was in the womb
11/8/2016 8:23 PM
Anyway. I appreciate your clear response to my question, mully.

If it is VH/H and you really want the recruit put in some more pallas.

No they are not.
Your range for signing a recruit at H could be anywhere from 40% to 25%.

Sure the TOP end of High and the BOTTOM end of Very High can be touching, but that's it.
Well H probability (in a 2 team race with a very high) is 35% raw to 40% raw.

That would mean 30% to 35% with the leader's bonus factored in).

With a VH leader and one other VH team in a two team battle .. the raw is 40% to 50% .. and that is 35% to 45% with the bonus added.

Now, if you add in more than 2 teams in a battle, then the percentages can change.

So, there is a difference between the two. And it is a difference that I want to KNOW. But if you are the LEADER for a player, probability that you will loose the recruit is not that much lower the other team is H or VH. instead of a lower probability of 35% corrected for VH, that shifts to 30% for H. That is not a HUGE difference. Losing to High is not that different, based on Probability to losing to VH.

What I mean is .. the OUTRAGE that you lost to a High team when you are very high is not warranted based on the definitions of what H and VH are.

Y'all stop putting a lower limit on your chances with H. If you're high, your chances are non-zero. But they're not 30% or more. They're not 10% or more. They're above zero, and how far above zero depends on whether you're at the top or the bottom of the high range.

Tarvolon : Still, I lost three battles while the other was high, isn't it better to give us the % we have... Moderate is zero... It could be graded like this, VL, L, M, and then your % of signing the recruit... I'd buy that. I have that H, to VH concept. It does not give you any information whatsoever... Losing three battles make me think the H was very close to my VH. What's the max of a H, 40%? To me, it's not a lot...

And get the HVS cap to 40. Get the CV cap to 2... It will change the strategy... Late comer will have a tougher time lurking. It seems the best strategy, lurk and bite...

We don't know the percentages, but if I had to make a wild guess, I would say

Very low, low, moderate: 0% chance of signing the recruit
High: 1-35% chance of signing the recruit (assuming a two-team battle), depending on whether you're closer to VH or to moderate
Very high: 35-100% chance of signing the recruit (assuming a two-team battle).

Well, if we get the stats, I think H is higher cause it sure does not look like it can be lower than 33%.
