Correction, he got closed. 😎
Staff member 10th Jan 2017 - 30th May 2020.
HF Administrator 30th May 2020 - 14th July 2022.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!

Just saw this! He vac-banned I think, then the big close came shortly after. Hahah.
Damn, was looking forward to that bloody lottery too. 🤗

Damn.. was also looking forward to that.

I warned that guy. Presented the math for him, considering the amount of entries and the chance of each user winning the top-prize. He said it was fine.

I mean the chance of anyone winning top prize was not very big so I don't see why he wouldn't go through with it...

With 300 people entering he had a 0.008% chance of having to give away the $750 prize

It was the small prizes that were going to cost him. 310 unique users picked 1240 numbers. If each of those numbers had a 1/25 chance of winning there would be ~50 expected winning numbers. The 1-match prizes were BTC ($15), L33T ($20), or UB3R ($30). Even if we value a correct match at $20 the expected payout is close to $1K.

Briefly describe the event: Controversial thread regarding whether pineapples are acceptable on pizza. I believe it's quite rare to see a poll with two options so close together, might be the closest race of the year since MOTM with a 32-30 score at the time of me posting this.

I like to imagine he rolled and like five people had the jackpot, and he was just like.... well fuck.

That makes no sense, he never did the livestream, so even if he had rolled he could have just rerolled until he got a cheap one...
