Ghuxalia Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I have 4 active events. That is more than the supposed maximum of 3.http://www.cybernations.net/event_information.asp?Nation_ID=47729 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Where is it stated that the max is 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghuxalia Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 The game update log from July 2, 2008, and empirically never having gotten more than 3 since then (until now). If the limit was changed/removed, that update was never announced in the update log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBRaiders Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 The frequency of receiving an event has been toned down. The odds of receiving an event drop to 7% after the first event, 3% after two events, and 0% after three events. Those nations with 4+ events since the re-release of events last month will have those events remain active in the game until they expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Reginbacher Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Same thing happened to me, I had 4 events up until one expired on the 17th, I believe. Didn't know there was a supposed limit. I assume the 0% is actually something slightly more than 0%, like a fraction of 1% maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know there was a supposed limit. I assume the 0% is actually something slightly more than 0%, like a fraction of 1% maybe?If the odds of getting a 4th event were nonzero, it would be extremely unlikely for nobody to get any 4th events for 6 years, and then multiple people getting 4 or more within days of each other. And extremely coincidental that they started occurring almost immediately after new events were added.And then there's the fact that it's quite easy to create a randomizer with a guaranteed 0% chance (or to just not run the randomizer at all) so if the 4th event chance is nonzero, then admin either lied for 6 years or is using some absurdly convoluted, unnecessarily complex broken code.

hartfw Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 These all happened after TE events got turned off. I'm not a scientist, but I think the natural conclusion is if you were playing TE they wouldn't have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The max number of concurrent events is now 5. Apologies for not stating this, I didn't realize 3 was the previous standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
