Ok, I have been searching for a spaz for days now...I just managed to snag a 10 land ocean today and I have a 2 land gas as well. Can anyone weigh in on how those alternative planets perform when digging? |

99+ day(s) ago | What about when the player needs a spaz such as guard. Will a 2 land spaz make that much difference compared to a 5 land spaz? |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | Well, it looks like you guys were right...I`m getting more rares and uncommon than I ever saw with a spaz, and at common dig time...
Nice.... |

99+ day(s) ago | lol my brain still interprets IuztheEvil as Luz the Evil even though I know it isnt. I`ll dig up an equation I found a few years ago. I wrote it somewhere I just cant find it. To me it was just random variables in an equation I didnt understand (at the time) |

99+ day(s) ago | i knew it was an "I" i think its more fun to tease you calling you "Luz" |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | Just for the record, it`s an "i", not an "L"... |

99+ day(s) ago | Let`s go off-topic!
Most randomness (in the CS sense) is actually seeded deterministic machines that are difficult to predict, but can and always will produce the same numerical sequences given the same seed input conditions. I believe a hack on SSL was based on the fact that a poor pseudo-random number generator was used in a linux implementation, but I`m too lazy to google it...
Ttrue randomness does exist, unless you can produce an equation that describes the quantum state of my lunch tomorrow...and there are very expensive "true random" machines in existence, or there are other methods by which a truly random number can be obtained.

99+ day(s) ago | meh no one knows and i`m sure the coding is a complete mess that would take someone a long time to figure it out. |
WhatIsTheMatrix
99+ day(s) ago | Well randomness can be proven false mathematically. As such there is no randomness in nature. But isn`t Gc coded in php? |
Deathroe
99+ day(s) ago | Perhaps, there is a bit of randomness built into the Digging Code??
Me thinks there is - `cause that`s how I would do it - Hence - no finite answers!!
Digging is like a box of chocolates ................................
PS I like Oceans |

99+ day(s) ago | I would love, just once, to see an example of the craziness in the GC source code...just once. I`ve heard things, but you never really know till you see it... |
WhatIsTheMatrix
99+ day(s) ago | lol bout as close to `getting lucky` as current coding techniques will allow |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | Well, it`s easy enough to keep stats for a specific planet type, race, dig strategy, loyalty, amount of minerals, planet count, wins, losses, ratio, etc...and then to vary those and calculate a p value. If I just refrain from using other artis during stat collecting, that should give some sort of picture....ignoring empire ID
Lots of work...maybe I`ll just dig... |
Moops
99+ day(s) ago | Not even lying! Someone (don`t recall who anymore) gordo`d up a spaz for no good reason, and I`m pretty sure they said it was epic digs o.o |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | dont listen to moops hes lying lol |
Moops
99+ day(s) ago | I`ve heard that higher land on a U.Spaz will actually provide more arti`s than lower land. Obviously not the case for other planet types like Oceans |
EphemeralEternity
99+ day(s) ago | it probably won`t matter if a single person comes up with a chart if there`s a possibility that Empire ID`s race, planet count, empire age, any other stats or what have you are part of the digging formula. also everyone`s definition of what good digging is, is different. what if certain parameters allow you to dig more stcs...and other parameters gives you more yellow orbs.
there`s just alot of variables that would take perhaps months to test. which is alot of work. |
WhatIsTheMatrix
99+ day(s) ago | Okay, someone take the time and come up with a chart... |
