Sorry for assuming you meant what you said.

Going back to the original post topic, It seems to vary quite a bit. In Allen, it happened like immediately. In another world it took 2 days, in another world like a week. Smith is in its 3rd day now, I think, but will probably happen today. I agree with Rogelio that Phelan and Tark will probably be spaced out.

So you assumed someone was literally physically flipping a coin to generate outcomes for HD?

Please point out anything I may have stated that you could misconstrue as saying that.

When someone says something is a "coin flip", I interpret that to mean it has a 50/50 chance of happening.

nole calls the cops anytime someone says "Break a leg" or "You're on crack."

You selectively interpret and apply your bias while seemingly thinking you have taken some sort of unbiased high ground. Drop the mock intellectual front and own your agenda.

In my world it means the outcome will be determined by chance, not that the chances are necessarily equal.

What sort of bias do you think is going on here? I clearly stated I disagree with you. That's not bias- it's simply stating that given the same set of information, I draw a different conclusion. You were the one that brought bias into the discussion by trying to relay "facts" that are untrue. I'm flattered you describe my argument as intellectual. Thank you, however- I will not drop the "agenda" of disagreeing with factually incorrect statements.

Looks like vandydave was the one calling for help.

It's meant to imply that things are completely left to chance and that there are no other factors involved. Otherwise, anything that involves any probability whatsoever could be a "coin-flip". For example, Denver winning the last Super Bowl was just a "coin-flip". Are you actually saying you are okay with that statement?

EDIT: If either of you watch or play poker, what scenarios are referred to as a coin-flip?

You should go for a walk outdoors.

Noleaniml is right.
"Coin flip" is the same as "pick out of a hat" or "throw darts at a wall blindfolded", etc.
Those terms mean that a result will be determined completely randomly.
It means there's a 50-50 chance based on nothing.
I mean, can you find a clearer example than the "coin flip" to determine OT possession in football? They're looking for straight 50-50 odds.

HD 3.0 is not about a "coin flip".
3.0 recruiting and HD gameplay always, has been about probabilities.
As we learned in the Beta, teams will notch up their probability of winning a recruiting battle based on putting in AP's, etc.

Now I'll sit back and wait for someone to call me a Kool-Aid drinker... soon followed by Spud or Ward taking my side for some reason, but saying something that doesn't make sense.

Good idea. I'll let you know what it's like.

the poker example only works toward my point, the outcome of a hand isn't a "coin flip" from the start based upon any possible hands for any players, it becomes a "coin flip" based upon two people bringing equal variables (cards) to a scenario within the hand.

and as I stated in one of my examples - two teams both high or very high on a recruit may have the result of who that recruit chooses based upon not who actually leads based upon all factors but decided by an unknown randomization factor built into recruiting. This isn't a literal coin, it's not a literal coin flip, but it is a random result for an outcome that in my opinion shouldn't be randomized. in my summary form, this is how seble has said it works, fact.
