Bug: escalating values

[Incandenza]

Guess I never noticed this because none of our games got far enough where there were high cash-in values, but in Game 326 reserves are now worth, randomly, 17. The escalating progression should be: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, and so on.

The "and so on" throws me off here as I do not see the pattern. Can you put this into math terms for me?

 

[Cassidy]

4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, and so on +5.

 

[Evan]

4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, and so on +5.

Can you chart that on a cartesian graph please!?

Nah j/k. ok so basically it isn't a pattern really. Great. Really great.

dude - you seriously didn't play risk as a kid?

afraid not

Shame, as fun as this is online, there's nothing quite like cashing for a huge stack and manually piling a ton of pieces on one terit and just rampaging. Good stuff.

never played before mc either.

actually.. that is not that fun.. because when you do that.. most people just leave the table to do something else... leaving you to mop up the board by yourself.

what about escalite?

 

[Incandenza]

I haven't played an escalite game recently, but as long as the value starts at 4 and increases by one with each cash, then it's good to go.

In Escalite game 344 the cashes have been as follows:

3,5,7,9,11,15,19,23,
and it WAS saying next would be 29, but it now says next cash will be 24

needless to say, i had to quickly adjust my strategy mid stream, lol
hopefully i can still pull out the win.

Those last few mumbers gave me an idea...
Why not add another version... "EscaPrime" or just "Prime Rate"
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41... etc...
The math geeks would LOVE it!

yeah both escalte and lite values need correcting.

Prime Rate? Makes me think of mortgages. But primes is an interesting option. Much more so than Fibonacci's sequence, which gets out of hand quickly.

lol... "Fibonacci's sequence"

not too many people know what that is...

i i just i just found i just found a i just found a math i just found a math geek
