If everyone turns tail and runs away at top speed, the enemy can only attack them if they can catch them -- i.e. if it can cover the distance retreated and still attack. If it does so, it can attack the slowest party member with significant advantage, according to the running rule.

And I assure, you any "squirming" was only a product of Happydaze's fevered imaginations.

And the squirming continues!

You really should just let it drop, but don't take my advice...

Advice from a troll? I think not.

Yes, by all means pity those that actually read and understood the sources you provided...when you obviously failed at one or both of those things.

The failure is all yours. I acknowledged the error when it was pointed out, and dropped the idea when the accurate budget was posted.

You, on the other hand, leapt to personal insults and clung to the original error, even to the point of trying to invent opinions that I never stated, in some sad attempt to bolster your trolling attempt. You have been intentionally disingenuous and it illustrates that you aren't participating in the discussion in good faith.

Nice meme though; I do enjoy Toy Story, so thank you for that.

You're welcome.

Now Ratman_tf has returned to his alternative facts--this time to argue that the guy that gave accurate information is "intentionally disingenuous" and not "participating in the discussion in good faith" all because I threw in some personal insults. He doesn't realize that I gave him the help he asked for (before others did) just because a put a few barbs in it. Others--in particular Pat--pointed this out, but he can't accept these facts and has to find alternatives because the reality is...just..too much for him to take. Does anybody have an emotional support animal for the little guy?

You still ranting? 

I pointed out your disingenousness, it's right here in the thread for all to see where you tried to make up shit and now that you've been called out on it, you double down on being a jackass.

And your barbs were weaksauce. Typical Happydaze trolling nonsense. I only pointed it out when Pat said neither of us was "being very polite", and I pointed out that you were the one who went there first. I would have been happy to leave the attitude out, but that's what you're here for isn't it? To bitch and argue, and you don't give two shits about accuracy.

And now you want to keep arguing about it instead of the homeless situation. Because it's an agrument, and that's what you're here for.

As others have said, using degrees of success as damage makes it more difficult to simulate attacks from things like giants that have a low chance to hit but do a ton of damage of they do hit.

if you use pure levels of success then yes

Actually, the Seattle 2020 budget was $100M for homeless services out of a $6.5B total budget.

https://mynorthwest.com/1615977/seattle-city-council-budget-2020/
"This is the first time Seattle’s budget has cracked the $6 billion mark, and the first time it’s ever included more than $100 million for homeless services."

$100M/11751 homeless persons = $8510/homeless person

Ratman_tf prefers to stick with alternative facts for his proofs.

Wow. You didn't even let me reply before assigning an idea to me that I didn't even say. It's like you're arguing in bad faith to try and get at people instead of trying to discuss an issue. Good job, dickhead. Why didn't you point this out in your first reply? Is it possible you didn't realize it as well?

For everyone else, I stand corrected. I'll happily admit an error as long as it's being pointed out in good faith.

I told you where to look for the real numbers in my first reply to you. You just doubled down with your bullshit reading and "math" with made up numbers. You're also the one that tried to play the "do you hate the homeless" shit, so don't try to play the victim now motherfucker. Just eat your shame and let it go, because you shit the bed on this one.

Sweetheart, you're the one with a chip on your shoulder and have admitted you're here to troll people, and came at me with your bitterness in your first reply, so don't get comfortable on your high horse.

I asked a question, and even asked if I was getting it right, in the very first post. I don't pretend to know everything and ask when I'm not sure. Thankfully, other posters picked up your slack and actually posted accurate numbers instead of a vague, "Go read this 800 page budget".

Let's do some napkin math.

Here in Seattle, there are an estimated 11,751 homeless people.

https://www.kingcounty.gov/elected/executive/constantine/news/release/2020/July/01-homeless-count.aspx#:~:text=King%20County%20Executive%20Dow%20Constantine%20and%20Seattle%20Mayor%20Jenny%20Durkan,11%2C751%20people%20experiencing%20homelessness%20countywide.

The 2020 budget for the homeless issue was 6.5 Billion dollars.

https://mynorthwest.com/1615977/seattle-city-council-budget-2020/?

I don't know administration costs, so let's say 20%.

https://smallbusiness.chron.com/percentage-budget-should-administration-10342.html

That leaves 5.2 Billion dollars.

5.2 Billion divided by 11,751 homeless people = 442,000. (I'm going to start rounding off)

442,000 dollars per person per year divided by 12 = 36,000 per person per month.

Average rent for a one person apartment in Seattle is 1,933 per month.

https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/wa/seattle/

That leaves 34,000 per person per month for addiction treatment, clothes, food, toys for kids, health care maybe some entertainment money...
Am I missing something?

Your own article indicates that sum of money covers a great deal beyond the homeless, like childcare, policing, and low-income housing (not the same as the homeless) among other issues. That makes your math fairly pointless from the start.

Fairly pointless? We've got 34,000 per person per month for exactly that, as I pointed out. Policing isn't a factor because Seattle is "defunding the police", including the Navigation Team.

https://www.seattlepi.com/seattlenews/article/seattle-to-suspend-homeless-encampment-sweep-team-15612785.php

So, again, what am I missing? Where is all the money going? Why is 6.5 Billion dollars not making a dent in the homeless population?
