Hmm I just thought of a possible explanation, and would like some input.

Just stating what we know first, and then making my deduction so you (hopefully) can follow my train of thoughts:

Log in to see images! to do with moar file drops

Log in to see images! .moar file

Log in to see images! pink floyd was added to HoFF long after the rest of HoFF’s drops

So, I bumume that since every thread drops 1 moar file, the Luck factor must have something to do with which file drops. I dare also bumume that each thread does not check which files you need and calculate the drop from that, simply because that would go against alot of the stats posted in this thread.

Gathered from above, my guess would then be that each full file has a certain drop rate altered by a certain amount of Luck. If that’s the case, then when .moar files are added to a forum it must be implemented with a “chance table”, which could basicly be an ordered list of the files that drop, and the more luck you have, the bigger the chances to get something from further down the list.

Take for example this made-up priority list from HoFF:


Hall of Faded Fame moar files

1. The Genius - Music for the Discarded Descendants.noiz
2. WildVid-Girlscrewshobofor100dollars.divy
3. Jalapeno's Bootyhole.leer
4. Riprogrammatori.1995.iTALiANo.cam.DiVERTi.LZ.YViD-iMC.divy
5. pink floyd - darkside full album (ttly syncs w/ wzrd of oz at 2:43 awesome!!!).hear

If Luck helps you get further down the list, then what if ET added pink floyd to the TOP of the list instead at the bottom? That would cause high luck to increase the chances of “moving past” it when pseudo-randomly getting a .moar file.

Any thoughts welcome! Log in to see images!
