Horse Challenges

Could one of the CM's explain how the challengers are chosen. Please not some long winded story about who done this who done that. I have noticed in the challenges the same first letter in the players name crops up in groups, just today i got challenges from a sharon, sharris, slavom, steven  in that order, as you can see they are in alphabetic order. No complaint, but would just like to know how they are chosen. I can imagine if my next 2 opponents are chosen from an alphabetical list at the same time, but spaced over many hours ! I cannot see an answer of coincidence being true, as it happens a lot, but usually in 3's and a coincidence being in such a perfect order. ?   <3

  • @sarah74 (GB1)  I just tested and got L,P,W,T,T,P, so the alphabetical thing does look like its a coincidence. We have never been told how the matching is done, but it throws up some strange selections. I get the same people over & over again & some people that I should get, never show up on my list, so who knows, one of life`s little mysteries.
  • No it is NOT a coincidence. Scizzors may have tested it once, I have noticed it 100's of times. Obviously some times i get no repeat first letter, This is why I am asking the CM's

    The horse opponents are randomly assigned from a pool of ~100 players, who are chosen by being close to your current score. That's pretty much all there is to it :) 

    I can only imagine that your alphabet streak was either coincidence or a really rare and weird fallback for cases where the regular assignment wouldn't work properly.



  • that's what I thought if i am lagging behind the my regular projected score my opponents are of low levels but if If i am starting to get too high the opponents' levels become progressively higher.

    Hi,

    I've noticed when coming home from work that my horse has been challenged during the day (of course) and more often than not, sometimes twice by the same player, within a few hours of each challenge.

    Is it supposed to happen?

    Statistically speaking, the odds of being "assigned" twice the same opponent out of a +/-100 players pool are quite low. Yet it happens and more often than not.

    Of course those players have WAY better horses than mine, and there is something quite depressing at checking the notifications, only to see most of them being losses (whether clear of by not so much, a loss is a loss)...

    Yes, I know: I should keep breeding more and better horses  :)

    Hmmmm , I am sorry but I do not believe for one minute that it is a coincidence or really rare and weird. If a player or players get 3 -4 challenges by players in alphabetic order almost daily, that is not a coincidence, or rare. Now if you had stated that this so called "pool" of 100, opps missed out the wiggly line in front of the 100 as i dont have one, pool of 100 players was in alphabetic order and the challenges just pick out 3 next to each other. I could understand that . If it is so rare would CM Latten like to place a bet that I can produce a list  ... 4 lots of 3 challenges in alphabetic order by the end of the month.AS Elco points out, I have had the same players challenge me , i notice it more, obviously , when they are on the same page. I find the horse ranch a nice diversion from the farm, but do have to laugh how my horse can lose every challenge or race if it is near to getting platinum level
