Cyber Wars Forums

This is a very interesting topic. It has been refered to as many different things (Blanzian Luck, Blanzian Probability, The Blanz Syndrome, etc) and seems to be a spreading epidemic. As far as I can see, here is how it works:

You have a coin toss. 50% heads, 50% tails. That means you have a 1/16 chance of getting it right with Blanzian probability.

You have 50% on the CIA (50% on the first page, 50% on the second page, so a total of 25% of succeeding). Naturally, this means you have a 1/90 chance of succeeding the aforementioned hack.

Discuss.

I lol'd hard. I'm currently undergoing blanzian probability on my intent job. It should be 70%, but I get 40% success rates.

Actually for me its depending on days, some days, i do CIA with 5-5, some days 0-50(Blanzday) and still going on.

After first few hacks you realize "which kind of day" it is, and if it is the Blanzday, I go back to hacking PC and finish with it using extra energy on studying.

you all laugh.







but you know it's real.

If we admit it's real, chances are that Blanzian Probability will make sure it isnt, just to mess with us.

And our internet connection will short out just before we post the evidence here.

The counter-virus to the Blanzian Probability is the Luffy Probability...

Examples of the Luffy Probability:

Lately while doing my Cia hacks (currently at 47%) I have been getting all my hacks completed in 7 tries or 5 tries.

A while back, while my job 3 was slowly moving up to 80%, I heard of a great idea in chat (from Ozy). After you succeed on four tries on job 3, skip down to job 5 and hope for a bigger payout on your final chance, and I decided to try this. I got it so many times that I decided to stop with job 3, skip job 4 and start Job 5 at 20%. On many occasions in the 20-40% I would get a 3 in a row, and I would never get less than a total of 2/5 (if I waited for 25/25 intent, I didn't do this unless it was caused by a need of sleep or school or work) sometimes, I would get a 5/5 (though that happened maybe once or twice between the 20-40% section). Now I am at 68% and have gotten 5/5, 6 times since 40% and usually will get a 4 in a row or a 3 in a row.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I show you... THE LUFFY PROBABILITY!

Luffy is stealing all our probability. Seize them! *grabs pitchfork and flaming torch*

Aha, I have discovered a new type of probability!
I was doing my hacks today, and failling miserably at them, getting only about 1 success out of 10 attempts, and almost all of the fails were jails. Just as I was thinking the curse of blanz was upon me, I pulled out (for the first time for me in NCW) 3 successes in a row! Thus, because of my blanzian bad luck, a restorative force of good luck came about, which I dub:

Rustonian Restorative Force!

Just a side note, talking about the Luffy Probability leads to cases of Blanzian Probability in your hacks.

Could be Newtonian Rustonian effect? (Every case of luck has an equal, opposite good/bad effect in the future)
