Folks- sorry about dumping a book here. I have been thinking about doing a blog entry on probability and game design. So most of what I've written is not directed to 5sides at all- it just came out to more fully cover the topic while my thoughts were flowing.

5sides and I really do agree more than we disagree as he said. We agree that observation (including trying different things) is the key to understanding and the only way to work out the underlying logic and order of reality, including computer game "reality". We agree that MT can change things whenever they wish and make them as complex as they wish. He has a view of what matters and what doesn't from his observations that I cant disprove. I think randomness fogs the picture and makes conclusions difficult. But I think we both wish all of us success in and enjoyment of SN.

I respect 5sides as an observer, thinker and player. And say thank you for the interesting dialog and especially pointing out the opinions that my writing projected incorrectly.
