Two things:

1. @Cyrup has said it already, I will repeat: Debate is acceptable here only insofar as it remains impersonal. Debate the message, not the speaker. _Ad hominem_ is forbidden. I will be purging any further discourse that fails to meet this criterion.

2. If you are going to quote a dev about luck, please at least keep it in context. Most of the rest of the thread dealt with clarifying @Saltypatra’s remarks. Another dev quote from further along that same thread made it clear she wasn’t indicating that the AI ever got luckier than the player, only “as lucky as or less lucky:”

> Just to chip in here on what’s considered a “lucky event”, Sirrian posted a few months back a list of events we consider “lucky”: And to reinforce what Salty said, the effect is a limiter on the AI getting overly lucky. Luck is never “created” for the AI.
