Wow....

Had I known that spamming would've helped, I would have done it too. I figured they'd ignore spammers or DQ them.

not really DQed, but noone with a half brain had ever believed that the results for an event like this would be based on all replies to that forum.
i have the feeling this is an event like
'wth are these kids complaining about no events? we have to find a way to shut them up that doesnt requies any work from our side'

Things like this keep me from ever playing this game again. Against the majority who scam, bot, cheat, hack, or CCF their way to the top, the minority of legit players never stand a chance of achieving anything. Why play when for every 1 of you, there's 10 people with better equipment, more gold, higher levels, more SP, and more silk because they cheated it all and never get banned?

??? Spamming incresed your chance??
So no one from joymax knew about :

select DISTINCT userid from GNGWC_data where servername = "AEGE" order by rand() limit 5;

................. so sad.

DUDE.... That STILL allows many entires to increase the chances of a pick :banghead:

You need to use a GROUP BY statement and pull a list of people who entered :banghead:

You know i never feel more disapoinment until know, Bot is one thing, ccf is another thing but i jsut can't believe something as simple as giving a random fair chance to each cheerer...... and they screw it up. :cry:

Post by **Ryoko** » Tue Sep 26, 2006 6:08 pm

I feel like holding a big cash prize contest similar to the cheering only better, and call it the 'Silk Refund Raffle"

I think his SQL was for MySql. That would work.

Distinct gets unique usernames. Unless people use multiple names, in which case, you have no way to know or control it. Then order the unique names randomly and select top 5.

Group by would give a list of people and how many posts they made. You can ramdomly choose from that list but distinct is easier.

I might not

It depends if DISTINCT picks from things as a group, or as individuals

Does it pick from A, B and C

Or does it pick from A, B, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C and avoids picking twice?

In the second scenario 'C' still has an 80% chance on being in the DISTINCT result returned.

I think they are finally raising the caps anyway... at the same time as they give out the SoMs!

-- Of course that's wishful thinking... LoL :-P

AllEyezOnMe · Post by **AllEyezOnMe** » Tue Sep 26, 2006 8:59 pm

I was sitting their reading the spams thinking.....maybe I should too, then thought "Oh maybe JoyMax isn't that stupid when it comes to programming, I mean they did make a whole game....."

And then I see the results :banghead:

Distinct (column_name) gets all the unique entries in the column. So distinct(A, B, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C) would be A, B, C.

sorry for off-topic folks.
