I'm Ben Wright, studying PhD Statistics. At the start of the summer, I've just led my Uni Feng Shui campaign to a minor climax involving cages of burning children and a hydraulic torture rack.

I'm currently collecting the various Feng Shui supplements, writing a Java version of a classic Spectrum computer game, maintaining the Feng Shui section of my web-site, helping develop a MUSH, awaiting delivery on my copy of Neverwinter Nights, assistant directing a play, contributing to h2g2 and trying to find the theoretical maximum damage in a single turn of Lunch Money.

I like to keep busy.

I've also got Furry Pirates, which is an interesting little system.

Oh, and I live in Coventry, UK.

(My best max damage in LM is 17, by the way)

My best Lunch Money damage is 24, I think.

Then again, I cheat.

Stinker. How, exactly? By having a hand of eight cards?

How are you getting such massive damages?

I thought the best someone could manage in a turn was 13, with an Uppercut Squared - Hail Mary combo.
(and you know your opponent would just defend with Humiliation)

Okay, for mine you need Upper^2, Kick4, Hail Mary and a Humil.

You open with the U^2, which your target blocks. You then humiliate the block and follow the Humil with the Hail Mary. However, as your humiliated the block, you can then follow the U^2 up with the kick, for a total of 17.

Or, you fire off a Big Combo, which is defended against twice. You humiliate both the defences and follow up with the Hail Mary and the Kick4 (17 again, but needing 5 cards instead of 4).

See? Not that I've actually seen either of these in play...

Eight cards, nine cards, whatever I need to win. Like I said I cheat.

Were you the kid that stood alone in the corner of the playground while everyone else jeered? ;)

It's okay. You can talk about it here. Let it all out.
