I need a victory on one last map in a certain game type in Gears of War 2. Players vote on the game type first, then the map.
The probability of my game type coming up at first is 2/5. If there's a tie in the voting, there's a 1/3 probability my game type will be the tiebreaker.
There is a 2/5 probability my map will then show up. If there's a tie in the voting, there's a 1/3 probability my map will be the tiebreaker.
This does not factor in favorite maps, favorite game types and player preferences, which all work extremely negatively for my cause. Considering all the variables, there is a very very small chance for my game type + map showing up.
Today, the game type showed up and everyone chose it. Halfway there. After a few seconds of killer suspense, the two maps to be voted on showed up. Neither was my map. I was angry. I waited to use my vote, like I always do, to see if I could get a tie.
One second left, the voting score was 5 to 4. I hadn't voted yet.
I vote for the 4, to tie the maps at 5 votes each. My map is the tiebreaker.
We start the game. All of my team mates only speak Spanish.
So I spent the whole game urgently shouting small Spanish phrases of encouragement and we ended up dominating the game and I got my achievement. My bowels are nice and empty.
