A genius is, in layman's terms, a player that starts out with Good Sense and good starting stats.


Go Red Sox!

Have a lot of patience and free time. This is a rare player that you roll during character creation. I don't think anyone has exact odds of getting one, but suffice to say that I have only managed one in the hundreds of times I have tried to get one. The one I did get was quite by accident and was before I even knew or realized what it was, so I didn't get the chance to really max the guy out. But it turned out quite well for a non save/ reload & gamble player.

By roll, I mean the initial stats that you are given for your player once you have entered his name, position, ect. The game generates your stats and that is what you begin with.

When we talk about "rolling" a good player it's like of like rolling the dice and hoping for the best outcome. Like getting a good hand. Lot's of gambling references in this game and on this board.

Rolling is more of a pen/paper RPG term (yay for dungeons and dragons - D&D). If you want more info, google it, you'll find it's quite a popular topic amongst old-school gamers and computer geeks.

When creating a character, or determining success of an ability/ chance of event. A set of dice are rolled to see if you roll the required amount for a success.

In a sense, the computer does the same thing, with a 'pseudo' random number generator to provide a near infinite-sided die to roll. Of course, most of the time it isn't necessary to have that much precision, but it's possible.
