The odds of a double crit are 1 in 100 - 1% chance, 1/100 probability, at 10% crit chance.

The odds of the same bot attacking twice are 1 in 81 - 1/81 probability providing each bot has an equal chance of being selected each time.

Since both have to happen, we multiply the probabilities, getting 1/8100.

It's considerably rare. But the same bot attacking twice in a row to begin combat should still not happen by standard game logic.

Also, Ran, one of the things I said I'd change about this game given the power was have some sort of speed stat, if only to increase the variance the characters could have and possibly slow the power creep a touch. The numbers you give above are for a PARTICULAR bot, but since there are 9 bots, the odds for ANY bot doing that is divided by 9, which gives you 1 in 900.

I think we should push hard for initiative, it would solve so many problems and just makes sense. It allows people to plan their decks better too.
