OK, SpittingWheel here you go if you have the time I have the dime. Send me a PM with a good contact # and a good time to call you. You get a bunch of weapons of the same type and wuk's clamps and you tell what color does what on the first two slices then will slice a couple more allowing me to tell you rather to cut or start over to get the damage slice and see how it turns out.

In order for me to waste my time doing that I'd have to actually believe there was a snowball chance's in hell that you would get better than 50% +/-sd over a statistically significant sample...which of course I do not.
Maybe one of the more accomodating smugglers here would like to spend the time with you doing that. You see I've SPENT tons of my time with engineers trying to demonstrate some wild-assed theory to me MANY times...but then I was getting paid quite well to listen to them.
BTW, wasn't it you, in a different post on the 'tell slice' that admitted a 58% chance of damage using your method? Didn't I point out THEN that 58% over your sample size was NOT statistically significant? Hmmm?

Then I guess you are to afraid that you will fall off of the flat universe.

That is why I am saying let me to talkwith me telling you what to slice and not just blindly slicing and saying oh this don't work. Because ifI'm on the phone and i predict the slices for you then would be afraid that you might have to eat crow. See I don't mind eating it.

If you had a statistically significant claim I would very likely look into it. But 58% is just plain unexciting for that sample size.
Would be like asking me to flip a hundred coins and watch you successfully predict 58% of them...rather a huge waste of time. If you can't see that then I can't help you.

My last slice, 35%
I normally get very good slices on other peoples weapons but crap on my own weapons, ive gotten a fair few 30+'s on peoples krayted/acklay weapons which they were happy about lol

Anyone here get the feeling Samaw is or is related to one of the guy's who wrote the dialog for Data and Jordi LaForge in Star Trek- The Next Generation?
Jordi: We need a phase gadget with enough power to buff the Captain's head!
Data: I find that highly unlikely with our current technology, Jordi.
Jordi: Maybe if we took a power source, waited until 2:37 AM on Tuesday, and reversed the polarity?
Data: Perhaps, but we would need to make certain that we are wearing lady's undergarments that are three sizes too large and are standing on our heads as we do this.
Jordi: That just might work! If we only use tools made of spam and ate beef jerky for a week straight.
Data: Brilliant! We should get right on it! Which color do you think compliments my eyes best?
Seriously, he's just pulling this stuff out of his ass.
Samaw, remember when you said you were having good luck with this system? That's exactly what it is, luck.

Like I said earlier guys, I will continue use and continue to get damage slices on my high end weapons.Since everyone feels that the slicing universe is flat andsince I suggest otherwise I guess that makes mea heretic. But wasn't Columbus a heretic also. As I challenged Spittingwheel and he was to scared to take the offer it is now out there to anyone that is in the US. Send me your phone # and well work out a convient time and we can try it over the phone.With the way I suggest just blindly slicing continuos will not showwhatI am suggesting. That is nottaking the second slice unlessit is the color that corrilated to the prevous slice of the same kind of weapon.
