32.3 percent (repeating of course)

[Nitsujcm]

In the famed Leeroy video it is stated that their chance of survival is 32.3% (repeating of course).

Mr. Jenkins quickly brings that percentage down, but my question is where did they get that calculation?

Is it possible to look at a room or a boss or a mob and compare it to your group and come up with a chance of survival?

you know, I was actually wondering the same thing LOL

No. The video was staged. They were making fun of people who overplan instead of enjoying the game. The number was made up.

If you have to explain a joke...

the fact that the vid was made up makes it far less funny...

[Nitsujcm]

“THAT’S A 50 DKP MINUS” actually happened right?

Yeah, that guy was just an elitest prick of a guild master.

well, of course you can look at a room and calculate your chance of survival...

like you are standing at nefarian and half of your raid is still in greens... that would be a 0.1% survival :P but it boils down to knowing your raidgroup and its capabilities.

Chance of survival = (Lowest IQ of a group member / Number of group members) / 100 :P .

I really cant see why people seem to think the Leroy joke loses its funny when they understand it is setup. Its a sketch, like those seen for ages in television and on comedyshows, only with the internet as a media. I think its a pretty funny sketch.
