    Default A curious thing?

    So I just applied an amulet on the wheel and a millisecond (I jest you not) later my quest light begins to blink. So some 10 seconds later the spin comes to rest on a medal I had not yet acquired and low and behold this was the cause of the blinking light.

    So my question is......

    ....maybe the wheel is not random at all?

    That little of glimmer of excitement everyday you get in the hope of 1000 cents is in fact pre-programed, preordained if you will by the evil minions in Evony HQ to giving you something naff.

    It would explain why most days its something awful like food...or 1 speaker.

    I am hoping an Evony representative will reply to this accusation and restore my faith in all that is good and holy and we are not merely chimps dancing to their evil jig.

    *unsure of the onomatopoeia for the noise a monkey makes...feel free to insert it yourself...ooh oh eek perhaps?

    *to do ...think of something funny and clever as a signature.

    The wheel has always been predetermined.......the second you click spin no matter the amount.

    I say the comforting change is a step in the right direction, I argue facts and real ongoing situations of the matter...
    You dream up ideas that don't exist and STILL blame botters and STILL feel it's fair to have something forever in a war game...

    So what about the pretty spinning flashing lights?

    Smoke and mirrors you say?

    Evony...for shame.

    You can't actually see most items being deposited into your account while the wheel is active. On the rare occurance you win cents they will always be added well before the wheel completes its spin. That explains why the quest light flashed earlier than it should.

    Plus you'll notice if an item appears twice on the same spin you will never win it. So when you see 2 adv ports, 2 mikey scripts, or two of whatever items you really need........it aint happenening.

    You know this thread was very much tongue in cheek but your last point has never dawned on me and makes perfect sense. Godamnit.

    i believe its still random, just that the whole spinning around the wheel thing is just for show. as soon as you click use ammy, an item is picked.

    Random number generators are never truly 'random'.

    thank you!! i was afraid i was gonna have to say it an go on a diatribe about how nothing made by a computer can be random but that sums it up

    as for the wheel part of this discussion, i have had it happen a number of times and offered up this idea before (and was scoffed at (on the forums) for something so ludicrous) lol... anyways i have had it happen with a rose medal (this is when i first got acquainted with this notion), and cents a number of times since then. i find what was said about double items never being picked which would not really surprise me ...

    if u think about it, having a system where it actually WORKED to hit "stop" and have the blinking light stop on the item u want would prolly be a whole lot more complicated in the code and design of the game than evony would require ... not to mention it might cause A LITTLE more lag
