I presume its .5 and up would be rounded up to the next whole number and .4 and below would be rounded down as is usual with maths. So if you've had 1,000 turns and only missed 2 then it would still say 100% since you've taken 99.8% of your turns but if you'd missed 6 turns then you'd go to 99% since you'd taken 99.4% of your turns. Hope my maths is right there, I'm a bit drunk seeing as it's Christmas Eve...
precisely "you assume" as would i but i don't know for sure. My origonal question was, is it rounded to the nearest percentage or rounded up to the nearest percentage ?

It is rounded to the nearest percentage, I'm not sure how much clearer we can make this.
I was quite clear and was absolutely correct, presuming that blakebowling is also correct of course. I only added the word presumably since I am a humble man and I don't make the game so I can not, therefore, state it as a fact.
Blakebowling states it as a fact and you accept it as gospel.
I presume if I had written my reply without the word presumably you would have been satisfied?
Presumption is the mother of all fuck-ups, I know, but, in this case, it was a 99.9999% presumption since that's how maths works in general.
I was rather hoping somone who knew for sure would answer my post, i already assumed that what you suggested and blake stated were by far the most likely option.
of course i could work it out:-
pick somone who hasn't played many games but has missed a few look up how many turns they have and go through the game log to find out how many they missed if the percentage is somthing . < 5% it will clarify.
asuming its nearest wonder what happens if its exactly .5?
Usually with maths, exactly 0.5 is rounded up since the total number of decimals between 0 and 10 is 9, i.e. an odd number, and there are four either side of it so it has to go one way or the other, presuming we're only talking one decimal place of course, and I'm pretty sure that's how it works here, it would be silly otherwise. So I now state, categorically, that a .4 and below is rounded down and a .5 and above is rounded up!

Sure, but the webmaster is not a mathematician and it's possible he chose some other rounding method. At any rate, the problem has been resolved; no need to carry on the discussion further.

Aww, I was enjoying it..
As a Mod, do you not have PM access to the webmaster? I don't think any other rounding method exists but, then again, I didn't think you could lose 9 3v1 dice rolls in a row but I've proved myself wrong on that account!
