Announcer: Welcome to the opening ceremony of the EB Games! The torch is entering the arena, carried by the glowing @Unintended Max P.E. ! They look dashing in their white toga

*Crowd cheers*

Announcer: The athletes are filtering into the arena and are starting to line up on our specially made track. We've got a lucky 13 lanes here for our first event. Hurdles. Contestants, line upppppp

The 13 athletes line up in their multicolor undies and coordinated aerodynamic tops. @SaltySteve , the contestant from Florida is wearing a number that looks like actual alligator skin… Meanwhile, @BlueBlueprint_PE is looking around confused as they don't have their standard 18 layers and fur snood on.

Announcer: Athletesssss, on your mark, get set, GOOOO *cannon booms* And they are offffffff! @harshaPEAZ is in the lead, no wait @RBHeadge PE is in the lead by an eye! Folks, this is gonna be a close race.

*sounds of metal clanging and plastic breaking fill the stadium"

Announcer: Oooo noooooo! Someone has tripped over a hurdle and stumbled into another lane. This mistake has caused a pile up! We hope the athletes are ok!

EMTs rush the track and start gingerly helping athletes up. At the bottom of the pile, they discover an athlete face down with part of a hurdle thru their head. They gently roll them over so the person can be identified.

Unfortunately @EyehatethePEexam did not survive the first event of the EB Games.

Its ok, @EyehatethePEexam was a doper (mafia)

Remaining players are:
@beccabun PE @DuranDuran @SaltySteve @RBHeadge PE @jean15paul_PE @BlueBlueprint_PE @Dothracki PE @JayKay PE @ChebyshevII PE @NikR_PE @harshaPEAZ @txjennah PE
I was so excited to be in the lead where did @RBHeadge PE come from lol :cautious: :sneaky:😅
 
So you're relying on statistics to give you 100% assurance of a person's innocence?

I have bad news for you...
A) I was assigned an evil-doer this round so justice is not of interest
B) Day 1 I have no information to go off of and I was/am moving so I made an arbitrary pick- I don't plan to move again for a long time so consider this a one-off
C) According to the regional FHWA rep at our tech team meetings Statistics are infallible.
 
I take it back. It's not you I have bad news for. :)
It's us. We have to use advanced statistical analysis to govern acceptance and payment on huge projects while using measurement devices and techniques known to have unreliable accuracy. It's like basing a weatherman's pay off his predictions, neglecting the sneezing rhinoceros in Kenya that caused the gust of wind in Minnesota and created a blizzard on what was supposed to be a 65 degree day (or was it -65, I can never remember).

I take it part-way back, the real bad news is for the tax payer that has to cover the risk in our bids.

Yeah, that seems par for the course on a lot of public utilities/organizations.
 
Lookit this fearsome beast.
