IIRC there was some ridiculous formula/random pattern for distributing the coin.
Definitely don't remember autosplit working the way that it currently does now... seems to me like it would just randomly assign the coins while attempting to be pretty fair about it.
As an example: /split 1 here gives you the coin back. /split 1 on Live, IIRC, would just give it to a random person. Looting worked similarly.
Edit: person who looted would usually come out with more coin on average... ties would go to him.
Downconverts... maybe in some cases, not really sure. I remember a lot of rumors like "Don't /autosplit! you'll destroy the good coins! /split later!"
