You're right it's not you can achieve 100% catch rate on pokemon with easy catch rates (e.g. Magikarp, Caterpie, etc), but some pokeballs were nerfed (Including but not limited to Dusk Balls and Repeatballs iirc) because they were a bit too strong.
The answer I seen not that long ago was because they were 'broken'. So which is it, were they too strong or broken?

They did a d100 roll, implying the numbers were squashed before the roll. So they converted the list before rolling, otherwise they would've done a d250 roll.
In that case I also wonder what would happen:

They probably already mailed the prize to umbra and taking jt back from him would be unethical. The only thing that can be done now is that they maybe change the rules of lotteries in the future and state them before a number is drawn.
I don't disagree. I am also hoping for updated rules that will be more clear and consistent.
1 hour ago, KaynineXL said:Say if I picked 7, and you rolled a 7.... Despite me having number 7, you give it to "Kira" because of how the numbers were squashed.. I would be completely pissed if I'm honest.
In this case you would have won, they only resorted to converting the list by squashing it because nobody picked the ticket with the number 9. This information was however poorly communicated at first and should have been properly explained like bear did instead of just locking the thread. I still don't understand why this was chosen over simply re-rolling though, as the amount of tickets sold wasn't so miniscule that squashing the list was necessary in my opinion.
1 hour ago, OrangeManiac said:This all being said, it baffles me that a lottery that is worth somewhere from 70 million by bought tickets to god-knows-how-much-Umbreon-is-actually-worth, that the rules weren't being clearly established. Furthermore, I think that raffles/lotteries of this magnitude should be done in some kind of more transparent way (livestream of multiple staff members, etc.) instead of just one staff member posting "lol this guy won gg" because cases like this are inevitable.
Full transparency should absolutely be the standard. Still, all this effort just to enable gambling isn't worth it in my opinion.

If he had decided to do 9th from the bottom it would've given everyone who selected a lower number an MASSIVE advantage
This, the fact that staff members think that 'mathematically it doesn't make a difference' frankly concerns me, because it's simply incorrect. You can't just come up with a different illogical and unfair drawing system out of the blue and act as if it's ok, even saying that 'it was consulted', when it clearly wasn't. I also love how the thread got locked ASAP to prevent any form of discussion.
@Bearminator Please redraw this lottery properly and then establish one consistent and logical drawing system(not Xth person from the top/bottom) to prevent this from happening again... or just get rid of lotteries altogether as bilburt suggested.

1. Have people pick their numbers.
2. Resort to a completely different drawing system, rendering the whole picking process irrelevant, instead of just re-rolling.
3. ???
4. Profit.

Already consulted this, he chose the 9th number down, rolling a 100 sided dice since 100 tickets were sold
2 minutes ago, Edniss said:Exactly 100 tickets have been sold. I just went with the ninth down.
Lmao, what? Why wouldn't you just reroll?
As if this lottery wasn't already bad enough from the OP's side.

The verifications has been done. The results shall now be announced without further ado.
And the winning number is...
The winner will be contacted soon to receive their prize. If the prize does not manage to be delivered within the next 3 days, I will mail it to them.
Thank you all for your participation and trust! ~
There's no one on number 9, could you elaborate?

I liked it, the whole choose-your-own-adventure concept works really well with movies as a whole and I hope it's not the last movie to use this idea. But man season 5 was weak.

A what now?
I am referring to this:
On 6/3/2019 at 5:17 AM, Noctuar said:The good people will be my Idols whom i will look up to,
The bad people will be my targets, which i hit cold.
Will you make your list of idols and/or targets(which you hit cold) public at any point in the future? And followup question, at which temperature are you planning to strike exactly?

Come to think of it, why didnt anybody say this?
Actually, it's been repeated on a bi-weekly basis since 'upcoming update and dungeons' last year, you're not some samaritan who finally said what needed to be said. It's not even fun to collectively shit on him anymore, just don't engage the braindead kid.

Quick reminder, because it appears some people need it, that the position of mayor started as a joke and evolved into a cool little niche for bf to have while contributing to the community.
Everyone is aware that it started as a joke, but it certainly isn't treated as such. The only thing that came out of this meme is annoying polls used mainly to promote a certain youtube channel and constant attempts at taking credit where it's undue. He can keep on contributing to the community regardless of the title.
22 minutes ago, Gunthug said:That it's now devolved into "Staff appreciation thread" level of cringeworthiness is not surprising, but still disappointing
I find the way this position is currently treated from the mayor's position far more cringy than any discussion in this thread honestly.

When this post was made, I was shocked with the amount of attention that this thread was given.
You really shouldn't be. If you look at how poorly your last thread was received, it should be very clear that there are many people that are not happy with how you do things.

Did you? Haven't noticed.
14 hours ago, Bestfriends said:3. When I was elected as Mayor, one of my goals were to lower down the poverty rate on PokeMMO (and when I was elected, the poverty rate was low, but thanks to the How to Make Money video on the Mayor Bestfriends YouTube channel, this rate was decreased much further and I am proud of the progress on this goal).
There are no empiric data that support this claim other than your own assumption. Unless you can legitimately prove this by showing a graph of average player's wealth over time and then pinpointing a spike around the time you uploaded that video, you have no right to spread such claims. When it comes to the video itself, a person only needs to watch a fraction for it to count as a view and even if somebody did watch the whole thing, it still doesn't mean that they actually used the information in it. The most widely used and the most profitable double account berry farming method is not even covered in it for example.
Also, what Dusty said had no ill intent in it whatsoever, it wasn't meant personally, you just chose to take it personally.

their is no perfect option. but one gives someone a unbeatable cheat and one gives everyone a more limited cheat.
I don't disagree.
Edit: From what I heard he got into other peoples' accounts thru a password leak from the website host. If this is indeed the case, then I doubt he can do it again, unless some people didn't change their passwords since.
14 minutes ago, fredrichnietze said:pia which is one of the biggest has 52 locations with a total of a little over 3000 ip's divided among them. you can choose a node and get one ip from that node. to get a new ip you have to disconnect and reconnect to get a random ip which may be the same or one already used. while there are many ip's it will take hours to get a few hundred votes, and this is with one the biggest and most expensive vpns that i KNOW many people on these forums uses. the more people using it the more often you will try to vote and find the ip already used.
I was referring to expressvpn and nordvpn. What you're saying is true, but even though it is indeed annoying and would take some time, the limit goes far beyond a hundred.

first election riga got on other peoples accounts and voted. second election the same. i dont see any reason to doubt it happening a third time.
So you would rather have the poll elsewhere where it's much easier to be manipulated through VPNs instead?
3 minutes ago, fredrichnietze said:with one vote per ip, you need a vpn which cost money and most vpns only have a few dozen or hundred ip addresses. as we saw last election everyone with a vpn voted and it canceled eachother out.
The VPN I am using and also all of it's biggest competitors have well over a thousand, so this is factually untrue. Also, in no way would this even itself out, rather couple people abusing it would skyrocket above the rest.

if the vote is held on the forums, then you're just giving riga the election.
Assuming that the re-elections would be held seriously, I doubt banned players would be eligible to participate as candidates. If it turns into a meme fest, then so be it. I would still rather have that as long as it's not rigged and other people get a fair chance.
Are quick balls not working as intended?

I know that there were intentional changes too, I am asking if the reason behind these changes was the fact that they were too strong like you just said or if they were 'broken' like darkshade said a few months ago, because that was the explanation we got when all those 'pls revert catchrates' threads started popping up.
