===== Luck =====

A concept discredited through the incredibly careful research of a certain [[characters:npc:doktorimprobable|Joseph Hawton]] through his examinations((should be a gameplay:lore link! don't know what to call it yet though)) of [[gameplay:concepts:chance|Chance]], now measurable in his eponymous Hawtons. Luck is a fictitious ((<del>a [[meta:concepts:lie|lie]]</del>))((the total and complete truth)) ability enabling you to reap more positive improbable results.((Remember:\\
     "One in a Million chances turn up nine times out of ten."
                         -Fred Colon
The problem with this, of course, is that since the odds can be easily affected by anything when it's that unlikely, attempting to actually //get// million-to-one odds usually results in something more like 994,398-to-1 odds and a messy death.

On the Island, million-to-one odds turn up on a [[gameplay:concepts:newday|daily]] basis—like Cake and [[gameplay:concepts:death|Death]].)) Contrast bad luck.((The only kind of luck there ever is: because if it's not bad luck for **[[lordbuckethead:you|you]]**, it's bad luck for someone else.))
