Wow, Ralph -- kudos. Your assumptions definitely payed off. I had no idea all that was going on.

This is because you were throwing a never ending stream of d12 challenges at us. A d12 challenge in Agon will never draw out resources, because its just not a good trade off to impair d8 traits to hope to beat it. If you'd used more d8 or even d10 challenges I think you would have seen alot more Impairment...because rolling an extra 2d8 against a d8 challenge is worthwhile. Plus rolling an extra d6 vs. a d8 is more worthwhile than rolling an extra d10 vs. a d12 because you care less about burning a ubiquitous d6 than burning a valuable d10. You could have burned alot more of our resources with middle challenges. Since you didn't the fact that I wasn't relying on a single big stat I couldn't afford to burn didn't help me much.
That is really interesting and is the paragraph I have come back to this thread in order to read it over and over.
There's a strategy to throwing out medium challenges; that is something I had never considered at all, really.
Interesting.

Oh, hey. I owe someone (Ralph) a t-shirt prize, don't I?
Valamir:
Judd, when I read my own paragraph you quoted alls I get is a whole bunch of rambling confusion :-)
Kudos to you for deciphering it.
John, if so...sweet. Your t-shirts are teh hawt.
