So we have 10,000 limited vision chartists floating in a wave pool while five pain inflictors running 500hp hydraulic wave generators ring the edges.
Sounds about right.
The subtlety you mention then boils down to filtering out the majority of the mob’s hand splashes and analyzing only the forces from the five 500hp motors.
With Slaughtermen as “honest and charitable” as deception in war, first glance says the information needed for a successful analysis would be exceptionally well hidden in order to be as malevolent as possible to even black sheep’s opportunities. Possibly out of reach of some of us.
What would be your advice to aspiring old black sheep that would like a little positive expectancy from the 0.001% Pain Givers before we level up to the next life?
