Welcome back Zkylon!

all the suggestions were shit so i made my own avatar

thanks you all for your cooperation despite sending me terrible suggestions

It's just as well. I don't think I'd recognize you without a League of Legends avatar.

Congrats!

Not that I expect anyone to confirm, but I wonder if Modbot prioritizes people who enter for only one game in a free-for-all raffle.

There isn't any "priority" scheme to modbot from the way Stump has described it. Though technically people who enter for multiple games have a chance of winning a different game and being throttled which would prevent them from winning the game in question.

ModBot "prioritizes" for drawing for the most popular raffles, but not intentionally. Basically there's a bunch of outstanding requests in a pile, and ModBot every heartbeat says "OK, are any of these ready to be paid out" and randomly picks one. Then, once it's enforced the rules, it goes through the whole pile and removes all the other entries for the same raffle.

So basically if two raffles expire at the same time and one has 4 entries and the other has 1 entry, the first raffle has a 4/5 chance to pay out first and the latter has 1/5 chance to pay out first. This is not a guarantee, you could still pay out the latter first.

This is an architectural design that would make no sense if you were a human but makes sense for a robot.
 
Actually wouldn't telling which number you picked by a good strategy? Since it will likely deter others who read your post from going for the same one you picked.

Are are you trying to get him to reveal his number THUS going to that number guaranteeing that you'll at least get a 50/50 chance because others won't go for that number?!

edit: that feel when you keep refreshing hoping that at least the one you entered has been drawn so you know to be prepared for the FFA
 
In Alphadia Genesis my party consist of: simpleton, manipulative smartass kid, jerk, pinprick and a nice lady so far. It seems like serious contender to GOTY, if you ask me.

HA!
 
There has to be a study somewhere that analyzes where most people pick in a giant list of lines. Most seem to pick a few from the ends, rarely the first or last, and lots in the middle.

Most people here know that, which is why it's tricky again. We already had the strange happening where people were piling up on the "unexpected" because everyone wanted to be smart :D
 
Just wait for Bad Boys Love Route... Just wait...
I know, I basically read that let's play when I first heard of the game 3 years ago. My heart couldn't take it back then, and I doubt it can even now. ;_;

Also just got the Princess Mononoke ref in San's route now, lol.

Is that Avian Attorney or something? Can't remember its exact name.
 
I didn't win with my number. Boo.

All I can think of is that Aviary Attorney Kickstarter, but I don't think that's the hatoful boyfriend people? Also welcome back zkylon.
 
lol this is my karma for saying your suggestion was shit


i most certainly did not, been playing all sorts of different things

right now i'm trying to find courage to buy a sensor bar to play metroid prime on pc with a wiimote a friend let me borrow

you don't have to buy a sensor bar you can make one or use candles

Yes but then there are also those who "know" this and therefore pick the first or last, so I think it evens out. My own attempt at telling people what I picked didn't seem to work, #14 is the second most popular from the drawn ones so far, at 6 picks. Maybe people didn't see it, maybe they thought I was pulling some sort of trick, or maybe they just went with the "guaranteed" 50% chance since no one else would be so bold as to enter the same number as I already had. Deep stuff man.
