I’m assuming Roger is buying his two saturns.

Roll your D100s if you are ready.

Apparently I have broken the dice roller…

@RossM asked for a die roll:
d100: 41 really?

[roll d100]
Um, yes! Oh dear. I wonder how that happened.
45 on some actual dice. I’ll look into it.

Have you tried specifying 1d100?

Yes, that works in a test - but I wrote the code not to care about that! I think it’s the problem, though, and I think it’s time I did a ground-up rewrite now that I’ve learned the very basics of Ruby. The code right now is a hybrid of what I got off github:dorthu, who wrote the roller used on the SU&SD forum, and my own amendments.

Nasa, 2 Outcomes on Soyez, 1 on Rendezvous
CNES 2 Outcomes on Soyes, 1 on Rendezvous

While a solitary probe sails onwards to Mars, The ‘Asterix’ leaves lunar orbit and flies onwards into uncharted space, before falling into a wormhole, where it is discovered by a machine race. It returns to Earth centuries later to become one with it’s creator and share it’s vast databases of galactic accordion music and alien patisserie.

I’ve got 4 Juno’s and a probe I’d like to get to orbit. No money though. Would have to be future money or tech.
