Say everyone on earth was involved in a massive single elimination coin flipping tournament, where just for fun, the youngest person in a match up would call head or tails 2
of a coin flip. If you win, you advance, if you lose your out. There is guaranteed to be winner, who won ~1030 consecutive times. That one heck of streak!
That's awesome! An amazing analogy to think about!

Well, no, if that was the case, people attacking 500v500 would never win. They pretty much always do.

wouldn't know, you'd have to be pretty sad and lonely to get into a 500v500 battle!

Actually you woould need at least one opponent. Ergo, not lonely.

Lets do a scientific analysis of this. Find someone/a group of people to play 100 games with. Then go buy 100 lottery tickets in your state or one near yours if you do not have access to the lottery. If you end up winning jackpot, you can buy Conquer Club and reform the system. This is a good plan.
