a coincidence ?

I have seen before players asking how GGS choose horse challenges and mission players, now no complaint here but it does make a mockery of the reasons, or is that excuses they give. All day A few of us have been checking the names in missions, It is maybe just feasible that it is a coincidence that I get 3 players whose first initial is A or B or C, yet to get 3 starting with a Y , Earlier today out of 12 players in 2 missions 6 off them started with the letter C. 50% of them the same initial .
I must say though that I have not had any solo missions since they changed things ( well up until a CM reads this )

  • I have seen the post you mentioned, that claimed the horse challenges were alphabetical & I have to say I see no evidence of that at all. GGS claims the challenges are selected from 50 ranks above or below your current position & in the early part of the season, when everyone is starting from the bronze league, it can appear to be quite random, in so much as a horse over level 100 can be drawn against horses any level (I have had challenges of horses with single digit levels). But as the horses progress to their natural positions, it does become more clear that the selections are based on rankings & not on alphabetical usernames.

    As for missions, I am not sure that we have been told what the selection process is, since it was all changed to stop solo missions. It "appears" that it just grabs the 1st 6 players that are currently looking for a mission - as the player levels & skills no longer seem to be reflected in any way by the selection, but as far as an alphabetical element, I would have to ask "why?" What reason would there be to code in any sort of alphabetical selection? It certainly wouldn`t make the process any more simple than just picking any 6 people that are looking for a mission, in fact it would actually make it considerably more awkward to fill a mission.

    So, I would have to conclude that, in my opinion, there is no alphabetical selection in either the horses or in missions & any appearance of such a system is purely coincidental. :)
  • I knew it, scizzors rises to the bait. I too see no reason for alphabetical order, BUT players have to be in some order so why not ABC etc No matter what proof I stick up, you'll always say that it dont happen to you blah blah. The screen print tells no lies there it is 3 players starting with a Y, it does not matter if none of yours do it. As someone commented before, GGS picks from a group of up to 100, yet we get the same players, sometimes in the same day. As i said above its not a complaint, just a simple observation that repeats itself. You seem to apply that i consider they chose them in alphabetical order NO, i wonder if they are "stored " in alphabetical order and as you say they "grab" the required 3,4.5 and of course their levels would be varied. I cannot believe that 3 players with name beginning with Y, all decided to search for a mission at exactly the same time, although they must have searched within the so called 5 minute window. Just looking to see how the game runs rather than just believe everything that i read, after all most of it is sheer guessing
  • Calm down dear! - I wasn`t even contradicting you hehe You must have just been expecting that I would. Your title asks the question "a coincidence?" & my opinion was that it was. :p

    I really don`t do enough missions to say it would never happen to me & the missions are not restricted to a pool of 100, they just need to be looking for a mission & as your screenshot shows 3x Y then obviously there were at least 3 Ys looking for one. All I said was that I couldn`t think why they would bother to add extra code to sort into alphabetical order, they could just as easily be in timestamp order of when they pressed the search button (which actually would make more sense).

    The horses I do see a lot of & most people claim they see the same people over & over again, which would make sense if we all progress through the leagues at roughly the same pace, then our group of 100 would stay much the same. As they are already being picked from some sort of "rank" order, again I would ask what would be the point of adding an additional sorting system?

    Just to be clear, I am just saying that IMO it is a coincidence, so don`t get all bent out of shape at me. - If you didn`t want to hear people's opinions why did you ask in the 1st place?
