press button
Get million dollars
Wtf I thought this was the button that turns you into a girl
Can always keep pressing until you get it, or just keep pressing to increase odds, these buttons usually allow multiple pushes.
cuz you can only die once anyway, so you will end up with a chance approaching 100% of getting the money
If it continues clicking after your death its infinite money. Not for you, but fir someone..
Nobody can tell me that the Xcom probabilities aren' riged. The amount of times I have died because someone messed up hitting something right infront of them is way to high
The big question is how many times to press it. Once at least is a given. It does specify the death as gruesome, so I don't really want the death, but I'd also like enough money to not have to worry again until a non gruesome death.
Like, if it was painless death, I'd probably say something like 20 or 30 times, but with a gruesome one...maybe 5 max, or perhaps even less. Still, one or two pushes is a given.
5 presses would be enough to pay yourself 100k a year for 50 years + interest gained with a 95% chance of success. That's what I'd go with.
It can be both gruesome and painless. Something where you wouldn't even know what happened, but the person unlucky enough to clean up would be scarred for life.
At 30 pushes you still have a chance of 73,97% to live. Thats not thaat bad for 30million
I'd absolutely press it once, because if I'm unlucky enough to hit a 1% on the first press, I think I'd rather just be dead anyway. That kinda bad luck will kill you in some other way.
If it was "die instantly," then I would definitely press it. However, it says "die a gruesome death," which kinda scares me, so I'm not sure if I would...
In this context gruesome death means something violent and painful, think back to Final Destination or a Saw movie for some examples.
First time I experienced this exact sentiment was years ago playing Dynasty Tactics.
99% chance to hit?
Realize devs forgot to include the decimal. 90.1% chance of exploding.
If you haven't run across it, UFO:AI is an open source "re-release" of X-COM Apocalypse
Considering real life, it's a pretty good deal. Real jobs have a way-higher guresome death chance to 1 million dollar ratio, and most of the time you just end up in a dead-end job.
You either have a 99% chance of cashing out big but a 1% chance of dying horribly. What body part you press it with doesn't make a difference.
I'm pressing it multiple times until I get my gruesome death of being buried under a mountain of money.
Hmm, I'm a little surprised at how consistent the responses are, but I guess I shouldn't be. I just know that if I did that spam until death and pass it all on to family thing that others here are about, well I wouldn't trust my family to adequately handle big money after my death; they'd fuck it up, the greedy shitty ones would try and steal the will, keep some other family members from getting any; just anything to not just do what I wanted, and I wouldn't be there to deal with it.
But regardless, since I found out I was trans, 1% death chance is too big for me. I want to live and experience my life approximately closer to how it always should have been, even though I lost a couple decades getting there. Hell, just the million dollars, even if we say it's somehow still taxed and the fed takes a bunch, could resolve all my debts, pay for all my trans surgeries, and I'd still have more to help my family without them just fucking it all up. But I still wouldn't want to risk the death for that.
