crusadingknight Report post Posted October 2, 2004 He got THREE joker spawns in a row in the same spot... Lord_Vermor found Joker and got a Ring of Valley of the DwarvesLord_Vermor found Joker and got a Fur Cloak [Taff]: how can i get heath plz? Lord_Vermor found Joker and got a Potion of Vitality [lordofthedamned]: o gay [CrusadingKNIGHT]: lol! LV proceeded to tell me that he knows of 42 joker spawns ...so that is 42^3 = 74088 to one chance... Either that, or we need a new randomization function.

Mar(c) Report post Posted October 3, 2004 First of all, your calculation is wrong. Joker respawning on the very same spot is a chance of 1 out of 42, respawning again is a chance of 1 out of 42^2=1764. Secondly, Vartican. Thirdly, Hooked and I are successors to Vartican as good as LV is. Fourthly. Joker respawning at the very same spot is called either luck or a bad randomize function. Nothing to do with royalty. At least, less to do with royalty then finding Joker six times in a row, without anyone else finding him in between. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike, if Ent still let Joker give out all that stuff, I would be getting twice as much as vart And Marc, hooked, and iostr are good competition as well :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joker respawning on the very same spot is a chance of 1 out of 42, respawning again is a chance of 1 out of 42^2=1764. I said him spawning there three times, not respawning twice... You have to factor in the chance of him FIRST appearing there...you don't just say winning a 1 in 10000 lottery 3 times is 10000^2.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to factor in the chance of him FIRST appearing there...you don't just say winning a 1 in 10000 lottery 3 times is 10000^2.... Hehe lol Well, basics of statistics calculations -- chance when throwing 3 dices that they're all the same means that it doesn't matter what the first dice will be (chance: 1 out of 1), as long as the other 2 are the same (chance: 1 out of 6^2) -- 1*6^2 = 6^2. You're right that the chance of spawning 3 times in a row at a specific spot is 1 out of 42^3, but well, it could've happened on any of the spawn points (42 chances to find 3-in-a-row = 42*(1 / 42^3) = 42^2). And on top of that, the chance that LV would find the first one is 1 out of 1 (as opposed to winning the lottery for the first time)... and isn't that the whole point of this thread? Anyway, I'll stop being a smartass.. This was all on one day, a few weeks ago: Marc found Joker and got a Ring of DamageMarc found Joker and got a Ring of Valley of the Dwarves Marc found Joker and got a Ring of Disengagement Marc found Joker and got a Potion of Wildness Marc found Joker and got a Potion of Body Restoration Marc found Joker and got a Fur Hat Nyxl found Joker and got a Potion of Wildness TeranoZ found Joker and got a Potion of Feasting Marc found Joker and got a Titanium Bar mrhyde found Joker and got a Potion of Harvesting Derin found Joker and got a Potion of Feasting Marc found Joker and got a Ring of Disengagement Marc found Joker and got a Titanium Bar Marc found Joker and got a Potion of Harvesting Marc found Joker and got a Potion of Feasting EnternalKnight found Joker and got a Potion of Wildness Vallon found Joker and got a Steel Shield lefire found Joker and failed to get a Potion of Body Restoration (s/he had no room for that item) lefire found Joker and got a Potion of Feasting hellolight33 found Joker and got a Ring of Valley of the Dwarves lefire found Joker and got a Potion of Wildness Marc found Joker and got a Potion of Body Restoration Marc found Joker and got a Potion of Harvesting 6-in-a-row, Nyxl, TeranoZ, 1-in-a-row, mrhyde, Derin, 4-in-a-row, EnternalKnight, Vallon, lefire, lefire, hellolight33, lefire, 2-in-a-row ... which adds up to my lucky number 13! ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirTsiversen Report post Posted October 6, 2004 Don't even bother to figure out how LV does it. Before I got blocked by the stupid campus firewall, I asked him too many times to recall how he did it, and he would never answer. I don't get it. This is PatrickHenry btw... AND Due to a letter I wrote to the tech department, the student senate and the techies are gonna try to make it so we can play games online. YAY! EL I'll be back!

Leeloo Report post Posted October 6, 2004 It's simple. A few people have made lists of all the joker spawns. Then they just go from spawn point to spawn point until they find him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
