RE: (TFT) Question to list on contests

["rsmith" <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi Erol,
	Good question...  Hmm...  This is
a tough question because I don't know
what the % chance is for method 2.  If
the weaker side lost about half as much
as they did now I think it would be
better.  At least at high attributes.

	I think that the thing that bugs
me most about it is that % chance of
victory is the same for 8 and 10 as
well as 20 and 22.  If it was based on
percentage difference between characters
it would be nice.  (That was the main
thing that I liked about the Sorcerer
method.)

	Rick

After spending some time playing with spreadsheet calculations, I though I'd
better ask before putting out any more half-baked ideas.

Rick: How good a chance *do* you want the weaker character to have in a
contest of attributes?

For myself, I'm willing to let a character who is on the short end of a 2
point difference have only a 26% chance, and one who is on the short end of
a 4
point difference have only a 10% chance. (With a possible exception/special
case when both sides have attributes of 20+)

It sounds like you want more variance. But just how much? About what chance
would you want a 10 to have against a 14? A 16 against a 20?
