The Limited Edition Coin

Re: The Limited Edition Coin

First of homedawg yes their is. Its a triangle like thing, with 3 sides and a base. Each has a number on it.

That's a three sided die, not a four sided die. It has one number on each angle and since there's only three angles to a TRIangle, that would make it a three sided die.

Also remember in the one thing about beginning choices. Pmolly said you can do nothing and everybody dies. Thats pretty much neutral.

And that's technically evil as instead of letting one person die (or several persons), you let them all die and you are, in a way, responsible for all their deaths. Therefore, there is no neutrality you're either good or you're evil. The little alignment bars in the game are easy to manipulate so they're an inaccurate way to truly judge your actual alignment.

Don't double post. And yes, it may have four sides but it's extremely unreliable as it doesn't roll the same way the other dice do.

But yes, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons all the time.

Guys, stop getting off-topic. This thread is about the Fable III - Limited Edition coin, not about your silly debate about dices. Take it to PM.

Not complaining, merely stating facts.

Yes and I was wrong. It happens sometimes.

Rub what in? That was I wrong? Yes, I'm a human being and therefore I am as capable of making errors as you... well, maybe less so.

But feel free to do so, it makes you look bad, not me.

Re: The Limited Edition Coin

Actually, there are 4 sided die.
3 sided die per se do not exist because it is physically impossible to make a complete 3d object with 3 sides. The best is a triangular prism I guess, with the triangular sides the smallest sides and the rectangular sides, long. But even that isn't a true "die".
I think the best solution for a 3 sided die is a six sided die but each outcome has 2 sides. Since each side has a 1/6 probability, each outcome will have an equal 1/3 chance of success.
For the triangular prism however, there is a chance, since it is literally based on a rolling mechanism of sorts, that it can be controlled by the roller.
There are 4 sided die, in which it would be a triangular based pyramid.

What if You don't like the choice the coin ends up with?

Re: The Limited Edition Coin

It's not about weather you like or dont the outcome thats what chance is all about it's about taking the choice out of your own hands and putting it into a compleatly unbiased selected option. It will be interesting to see the conflicting world that is shaped threw complete chance. =D

Just what I was thinking.

For the love of Christ, yes. I've already mentioned Two-Face and was in fact the first person to mention it.

It's not about weather you like or dont the outcome thats what chance is all about it's about taking the choice out of your own hands and putting it into a compleatly unbiased selected option. It will be interesting to see the conflicting world that is shaped threw complete chance. =D

Indeed! You're not letting yourself choose but instead you are leaving matters in the hand of dear Lady Luck... or perhaps fate. I can't tell if there's any real difference.

But yes, I do plan on using that coin to ultimately decide how my character handles certain events.

I rolled a eurocoin and it landed on my 'evil' side. That means that I must correct GrimWhim even further, sorry bud

As you can see in the picture below, each side is the exact same shape, there is no real 'base'. That means that each side has got the same chance to be rolled, therefore a four sided dice is actually reliable.

A coin throw has decided that I would go off-topic, and therefore I am not off-topic. :angel:
