I suppose I'm overreacting to the laws of the game.  I'm trying to get used to it but sometimes a fight leaves me gritting my teeth ....tleast I'm not throwing the keyboard across the room anymore, part of growing up....no wait I'm old already...part of getting older]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Gorukha)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[TnC-Macthorpe]]></title><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jun 2006 10:54:35 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Of course strategy counts Gorukha. By playing the cards and pils in whatever combonation you play them in you are attempting to give yourself the best 'Chance' of winning. You may feel cheap when your poor card wins against someone so much more powerful than itself but it is something that happens. <br />
<br />
'If your character has an Attack of 10 and your opponent has the Attack of 5, it means that you have 10 chances over 15 to win, versus only 5 over 15 for your opponent.' This is from the rules page. If you break that down every three times you win at those odds you should lose once. It is just as true for an attack of 35 against a attack of 1 You win 35 times and lose once!<br />
<br />
These rules just level the playing field meaning that in theory a completely new player can take on Golgoth72 or Bigbivi or anyone and still have a bit of a chance of winning.<br />
<br />
If the real complaint is that it takes the weaker side too often then that is not for me to comment on. However if you have ever read Terry Pratchett (and if you haven't I really recomend that you do) 'Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten!']]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (TnC-Macthorpe)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gorukha]]></title><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jun 2006 09:43:48 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Well I would like to know that strategy counts, and not have to pray to god that my 8 attack guy doesnt get blown out by a 1 attack guy with no pillz.  Sure I like the suspense but the ratio of skill and luck is almost even in this game.  It shouldn't be this way.  How do I feel when my crappy guy beats an overpowered guy ? Cheap  If you know how to play this game this kind of thing only hurts you.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Gorukha)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[TnC-Macthorpe]]></title><pubDate>Sun, 25 Jun 2006 16:49:02 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[I agree.

You cant say the weird odds of winning havent helped you win a few matches you weren't &amp;quot;supposed&amp;quot; to win. The way it is set up makes the game fun and interesting. Why would you even need to play if you already knew who was going to win?]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (JolliRoger)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gorukha]]></title><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jun 2006 05:20:14 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[I have lost too many 10 to 1 battles in the last 2 days, this games math is whack.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Gorukha)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gorukha]]></title><pubDate>Tue, 20 Jun 2006 11:49:51 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Man you guys are right something aint right, especially today....losing the rediculously overpowered duels .... i know im not lucky but this is rediculous <span class="sprite-smileys mini1_happy iepng"></span>]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Gorukha)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gorukha]]></title><pubDate>Tue, 20 Jun 2006 08:58:14 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Yeah the battles arent real time, it just adds to the suspense when ur fighting a guy with 1 attack using an 8 attack guy, use 4 pills and see him beat you down to almost nothing <span class="sprite-smileys mini1_happy iepng"></span> and then he doesnt do any damage twice and u win....<br />
as far as the odds, yeah sometimes its rediculous, i lost a battle on total luck today.

It's epecially annoying because I <br />
automatically calculate the exact numbers, and I seem to win about <br />
60-70% of the fights that, mathematically, i should. this is especially <br />
annoying when it should be a blowout, or when the game rides on the <br />
match. Or when I'm going 13-pillz to level up a guy. that's annoying.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (razorborne)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rollerblade]]></title><pubDate>Wed, 14 Jun 2006 21:51:13 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Yea i figured that out cuz when i open new window with my info and refresh it just before last card starts to fight i see results of battle]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Rollerblade)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=7666&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[EVO-Coda]]></title><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jun 2006 23:09:52 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[I believe the win loss is calculated before the graphic display even starts.
