No offence, but I'm not really in the mood for donations. I lost 7000fg in a rock paper scissors bet and I doubt I'm ever going to get that much fg again :(

What do you mean?
I was just explaining to Rumplephorskin that just because numbers can be written in multiple different forms (eg. fractions and decimals) doesn't make them different.


1/3 = 0.33 but some like to put 0.34 for some strange reason.
2/3 = 0.66 but some people like to say 0.67 to make it simple.
3/3 = 1 or it can = 0.99 but to make it simple we just call it one.

Even though it isn't one we call it one. I like to use my situtation now in the terms of wrestling.

Triple threat match. everybody has a 1/3 chance of winning. So that means that everybody on their own has 0.33 chance of winning. If we put those numbers together we don't get the number 1, we get 0.99. If you do want to call it 1, who is the wrestler that has the 0.01 slight advantage over the others huh?
