I also worry that you'll do a 400 hour grind, die and burn yourself out which concerns me as a viewer. I feel a better idea would be like, 10 hp but no regen, you take 1 point of damage you have 9 HP for the rest of your accounts life (where if you level HP to 11, you'd technically gain 1 point) - But either way, I am excited to watch.

[@zacharybarbanell1064]

Actually, the odds are pretty easy to calculate: There are three possible outcomes from trying to repair the fence: - Success, 0.24 of the time - Damage, (1 - 0.24)/2 = 0.38 of the time - Debuff, (1 - 0.24)/2 = 0.38 of the time Importantly, since after the debuff you can just try again, we can treat any attempt where you get the debuff as though you didn't try at all. That gives you the adjusted success rate of (0.24)/(0.24 + 0.38) per attempt, and raising that to the 6th power gives you the exact chance of success, which is around 1/297.

[@maximedelboo9021]

For anyone wondering, the mathematics (without simulations) of why it is approx. 1/300 are as follows: the probability of successfully completing a rail (with retries) is 0.24+0.38*0.24+0.38^2*0.24+... = 0.24/(1-0.38) ~= 0.3871, because it is a geometric sum. The 0.38 is the probability of a retry after failing (because (1-0.24)/2 = 0.38). Then you simply need 6 independent successes in a row, so that would be (0.3871)^6 = 0.003364 or a one in 297.2232 chance of successfully repairing 6 rails.

[@Zxv975]

@@skullie007 Good question. 0.38 combines the 0.5 from the retry and the 0.76 from the failure. 0.5 × 0.76 = 0.38. In words, the successful scenarios are: 1) You succeed first try. 0.24 chance. 2) You fail the first try, but then you survive the 50/50. You then succeed on the next try. 0.76 × 0.5 × 0.24 chance. 3) You fail on the first try, survive the 50/50, fail the next try, survive the 50/50 then finally succeed on the next try. 0.76 × 0.5 × 0.76 × 0.5 × 0.24. ... and so on. You add these all together to get the total probability via the infinite sum approach. You can see you get 0.76 × 0.5 in each of these terms, which they've just combined as 0.38.

[@Norrawlk]

If you ever have to start over again (and recomplete Dwarf Cannon), you should always do Murder Mystery first! Let me explain by using some math... TL;DR: completing Murder Mystery doubles your chance to succeed The chance to successfully repair 1 railing is 38.49% at level 1 42.94% at level 11 This difference doesn't seem significant at first, but when you have to successfully repair 6 railings in a row, it surely is. In fact, it nearly doubles your chance to succeed (an average of 159.52 accounts instead of 307.63). PS: I used the wiki to get the more accurate success rate of 23.83% (instead of 24%)

6:38, really did not need to simulate that. Your probability of repairing a single fence is the probability of repairing + probability of failing but not taking damage + probability of failing twice but not taking dmg +…, and so on. This is a geometric series that converges, and you can calculate it with probability of repairing/(1- probability of failing but living). And since each fence is independent just take this single formula to the power 6 to get the probability to repair 6 fences. Giving a 1 in 297 chance, pretty close to the simulation, but this one is more exact.

[@SUPERn00b720]

If anybody is curious about the math: The probability of one success can be calculated as follows. probability of sucess on first roll = .24 (24%). This is given by mod ash. The probability of sucess on the second roll means combining the probability of failing the first roll, the probability of not taking damage, and the probability of success for the new attempt. Probability of failing the first roll is 1-(.24) = .76 (76%) Probability of not taking damage: Since there are 4 possible outcomes that are equally likely, and two of them involve not taking damage (reduce crafting/strength), The probability of not taking damage is .5 (50%). The probability of rolling success for an individual attempt is .24 (24%) as previously established by mod ash. So the probability of success on the second roll is (.76)*(.50)*(.24) = 0.0912 (9.12%) This can keep repeating indefinitely, and for each successive roll you must contribute another chance of failure multiplied by the chance of taking damage, as well as the final chance of successfully completing the task. So the chance of success on the nth roll will be ([0.76*0.50]^n)*0.24 All of this is for the very first attempt. To calculate the total probability of success for this first attempt, you must add together all of the individual probabilities of success for each amount of rolls. P(Sucess) = P(Success on 1st roll) + P(Sucess on 2nd roll) + ... + P(Sucess on nth roll) Since the above process can go on indefinitely until you either fail and take damage, or succeed, this will be an infinite sum of the form: P(Success) = 0.24 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^1 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^2 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^3+... This infinite sum just happens to be a geometric series, which typically look like this: a + ar+ar^2+ar^3+... In this case, a = 0.24, and r = [0.76*0.5] = 0.38 the sum of an infinite geometric series can be calculated using the following formula: S = a/[1-r] Using this formula, and the fact that the probability of success is in the form of an infinite geometric series, we can finally calculate the probability of successfully fixing the first rail without taking damage: P(Success) = 0.24 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^1 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^2 + 0.24*[0.76*0.5]^3+... = 0.24/[1-0.38] = 0.38709677 ( ~ 38.7%) From there, the probability of completing 6 rails in a row without taking any damage is just taking this probability and raising it to the 6th power. P(Success 6 times in a row) = P(Sucess)^6 = (0.38709677)^6 = 0.00336447484 (~ 0.33%), which is very close to 1/299 :)

Holy shit

[@corb805]

Good work dude. Looks right to me

[@KubiaSpeed]

Thanks, I saw the sim and thought it was odd because it was solvable. No need to check now lol

[@lfgang9994]

Well done

[@Mr0Randomness]

I’m just impressed that you formatted this all in a KZbin comment, nice work I give you an A

[@ImTandori]

LUDICROUS CONCEPT HERE!!! You really leveled up on the editing for this one and your storytelling has already hit the ground running on just the first episode alone! I'm REALLY looking forward to tuning into Mr. 108's journey every week

[@kristofnagy1373]

Agent 108

[@capoeira__]

What a series, can't wait to see what the future holds for Lowlife108

[@Shiestey]

This is basically medieval times simulator where if you got injured or sick you’re probably going to die anyway lol

[@exantiuse497]

I think the average lifespan was more than 20 minutes though

[@tbotalpha8133]

Life in the European Middle Ages was not that fraught. ...Though it is very funny to imagine that it was.

[@Shiestey]

@exantiuse497 considering the mortality rate of infants back in those days im not too sure about the accuracy of that comment lmao

[@dippn7047]

Settled I gotta hand it to ya. My life isn't in a bad spot by any means - you're not a singular light that exists for me. In fact I have a lot that makes me happy right now and I'm grateful for it. But god damn do you genuinely brighten my days when you have a series going and I see that new upload on my feed.

[@SirZotolo]

I never could have predicted this.. when you mentioned your new series was gonna be crazy I truly wondered how far you could push it

[@josephines.youtube]

Jagex should make this a real gamemode, this is so cool.

[@Donkeyiser]

Since the announcement video I've been trying to imagine what Settled might have come up with.. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine he would manage to make me care so much about the RNG of fixing railings in the Dwarf Cannon quest. GOAT

[@Compensate9]

Settled the type of guy to post a 20 minute video of himself fixing railings and has EVERYONE including myself, super invested. cant wait to see more of the series man!

[@restlesssheep2453]

Settled's youtube channel is just a confession of being masochistic through ruescape

[@Frenzified96]

Me: "I watched a 20 minute video of someone seeing whether or not they could fix a fence. That same person got me to then buy boxes of premade meals that are healthier than anything I've ever eaten before." Parents: "Holy shit can he get you a girlfriend as well?" Me: "Probably, but there's no need for that, I got one the other day for 100,000 gp."

[@RSIgnaacio]

Swampman never fails to amaze me when it comes to finding ways to play the game as masochystically as possible. Godspeed, Settled.

[@007Delta_art]

Every time settled starts a new series It shocks me at just how much stronger whatever he’s smoking has become to make this man want to do this. This is PSYCHOTICALLY MASOCHISTIC.

[@fritslec1277]

Incredible editing and storytelling! I'm not very sure how interested i'll remain in the account. Extreme consequences always have interested me less than exploring the limits of the ruleset, so the whole account deletion i cannot care for, instead of a "i'm no longer allowed to do this because i took damage from it". Furthermore, there is of course the fact that this is very much an execution based challenge, with the incredibly interesting earlygame challenge (which i will almost definitely watch), but once prayer flicking and other mechanics start entering the picture, the question semi-shifts from "what is possible without taking damage" vs "what -can i do- without taking damage". To an extent, it shows to me the difference of an account progress game vs a save-file progress game on a 1-hit challenge. Nonetheless you'll make an amazing series out of it, and i hope you really enjoy playing the game in a new way with this challenge! Remember to balance your mental health, enjoyment of the game, real life events with your content creation!

[@orionstokesweiss2344]

Some quick theorycrafting after this has been on my brain since it came out Magic/Ranged are his best combat options clearly. The Arceus library would be a great 0 threat option to level magic for access to high alch, so that he can semi-afk prayer and make gold on...something. Not sure what a good option is, that would require individual route assessment. Agility can be done safely at the Gnome Agility Course. Other than that, I'm not sure of any great options until higher levels Thieving can be lamped to 5, then done at stalls and the Sorceress's Garden Minigame safely. A fire cape is a surprisingly reasonable ask for the account. Not sure about other high-end goals because of random instances of small damage, but I could see it being an early goal for the account. I can't wait to see the level of risk he is looking to take with the account, as bossing content is going to be incredibly tense but doable.

[@Quiiescent]

This is unreal bahahahah. The only thing more impressive than your creativity is your tenacity, man. I’m so stoked to see how far you can take this series 🥳

[@keithrichards3120]

Love how much a video about just pickpocketing a man and doing dwarf cannon can be so entertaining and climatic

[@alexandresilva3427]

This is the most excited I've been for a Settled series since Swampletics. I also liked the locked room puzzles, I hope those come back someday.

[@tushargupta7777]

The fact that Account Number 108 Survived just made me realise the significance of the number. Its considered a sacred number.

[@Skunkmonkk]

Your ability to withstand punishment continues to impress, can't wait to see how this series unfolds. Best of luck with the series, and hitting 1M this year!

[@StzaJack]

Ngl tileman did nothing for me, this series has instantly brought me back to the channel. Cannot wait to see more!

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

I loved Tileman.

[@Soloviss]

The level of dedication to such an insane undertaking is staggering. I truly feel like Settled alone has the sheer grit, dedication, and determination to accomplish this absolutely insane task. I wish you all the luck for the episodes to come, and you best believe I’ll be looking forward to every upload here on out. After watching the rise and triumph of both Swampletics and McTile, I know in my heart of hearts that Settled can do this!

[@Solereaper21]

This whole thing is kinda worthless without any kind of goal.

[@Settledrs]

goal is revealed in ep 2

[@Sappuku]

Oh man I've been dying for the start of the new series. This sounds absolutely insane. I love it. You're one crazy bastard and I love you for it.

[@BallisticDamages]

This is a completely new level of RuneScape masochism 😂 Can't wait for episode 2, keep up the great work!

[@deemys]

You said “if I can’t read the title and know what the series is, I don’t wanna do it” if that still rings true I’m very excited to see how this plays out.

[@MainUkraine]

If he made Lowlife 007 he would have completed the spy mission for sure without taking damage...

[@ChandlerWeeks]

Wearing headphones and thought my doorbell rang at 0:08. It's way too late for that, so naturally, my heart is pounding. Thanks.

[@scottreid1028]

😂

[@ValeOfMuses]

Dude, you said this would be bugnuts insane, but this is SO far beyond anything I could have ever expected. Will absolutely be tuning in every single Wednesday after classes to see you remind me what the definition of determination is!

[@skawt24]

108 is a pretty interesting number to be the "Lucky" account considering it's significance in Buddhism In Japan, at the end of the year, a bell is chimed 108 times in Buddhist temples to finish the old year and welcome the new one. Each ring represents one of 108 earthly temptations (Bonnō) a person must overcome to achieve nirvana

[@bggamingdeluxe5658]

We need a Nightmare mode leaderboard. What is the current world record?

[@connorjason8475]

That's just insane🤣 you are taking this game to new levels consistently👌

[@wixardo]

Really hyped for this series, I wasn't a fan of tileman because it was just normal RS but with an extra grind on top, this feels like an actual challenge just like Swampletics back in the day. Can't wait for more episodes!

[@Gloobster1350]

Looks to be another incredible series on the way. My favorite RuneScape creator and just favorite in general, you’re talented man keep it up

[@RelkinsDCskater]

me: (scoffs) this is a stupid idea. Watches video. Also me: DAMN I am fully invested in this series now.

[@Verlisify]

I feel like Settled should have tested regular accounts with the plan post Dwarf quest to find random dangerous enemies

[@r1nsync]

This is gonna be great. Can’t wait and every Wednesday is exciting! There’s a special breed and you are part of that Settled.

[@travisle2395]

the dedication is insane - mad respect and good luck on this journey! we will be supporting you the whole way!

[@SemiGun]

If there was something like a Nightmaremode Highscores a lot more people would be motivated to try this, is this within the realm of plugin possibilities?

[@themysticfedora]

Honestly man Swampletics was epic and unique, but not really my thing to keep up with. Obviously settled was incredibly impressive as well and McTile was cool, but none of those videos truly kept me on the edge of my seat like this one. This one is truly something special. I popped off when you fixed the rail man. You struck gold, can't wait to see where this one goes!
