ENY!!!

[Lusche]

 

I know there are enough out there thinking of me as an huge asset without -et...   

[DadRabit]

he not when he shoots me down   

[Iron_Cross]

That is not correct.  When you are on the receiving end of an attack by Lusche, he becomes more of a pain in the asset to you.

[RATTFINK]

Lusche, I just wanted to mention that you are a great asset to the Aces High BB.

I would expect many others to confirm this statement.

Confirmed!

Oh, and I think ENY is one of the best ideas to date.

[Bronk]

Also any other change I would add to effect country balance would be more limiting than the current system not less.

Says it all.

[Oleg]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's not possible. An ENY of 18 for only 37%?

He mean ppl inflight most probably, as usual.
btw, 37% wouldnt ever make ENY of 1, afaik.

Technically, it can give you a huge eny. It all depends on % of smallest country.

Example A)
Bish 38%
Knight 32%
Rook 30%

only 8 points difference between Bish and Rook, probably no ENY limit at all

Example B)
Bish 38%
Knight 38%
Rook 24%

now we have 14 points difference between Bish and Rook. Bish will have an ENY limit for sure. (And so will Knights)

[Oleg]

Im not sure, dont know exactly how ENY calculated. Anyway, this is not that case, 30/33/37% will not give ENY to anybody.

Less cause for complaints does not necessarily mean fewer complaints.

Does someone have the ENY formula handy? I've been trying to search through some of the older threads for it, but between HT's spelling, and the borked search, I can't find it. I know it was posted a few years back, but I can't dig up the thread. It doesn't appear in the help files either, apparently.

I imagine that formula might get a little simpler with only 2 countries', but we have 3, so...

You hear 2 bars from, "The Lincolnshire Poacher",  and then a English accented female voice says "3-5-1-7-2"

Sweet. Too bad I can't make sense of it. I understand the words, but the operations aren't all apparent to me. Is there a dumbed down version for peepl hoo donte coad?
