Write up how the wiki entry on FEP points would look like with this system, and I'll consider the proposal, based on the mumbo-jumbo factor of the text.

Potjeh wrote:So you would be fine with me keeping aces if we got a new deck each hand? Remind me to play for serious money with you sometimes. But seriously, this is a math fail of epic proportions. How in the world can a single roll be equal to rerolling as many times as it takes to get it?

Agreed.

On a note about the math:

If I'm understanding this right, the change in the system wouldn't really change the odds of raising an attribute if you eat the same foods consistently. By the time I got consistent sausage and cheese production going along with the farm, I was eating the same things repeatedly for a given attribute. Want to raise Dex? Eat this, this, and this. Psy? this, this, this, and this, and maybe some other micro-FEPs (q1 carrot for example).

That's why I asked for an example of the math. It's not my job to prove you're right. That's you're job as the creator. My job as a critic is to poke holes in your theory if they exist.
