It's cute how almost every post turns into RnF. Really helps bring the community closer.

Sadly, Greens forum community is garbage. Not saying there is not some fun peeps to chat with. But, lets face it. The same 10ish trolls live on RNF/Green forums. And just love pushing others buttons. Green has a guild dedicated to this as their RP (which is made up of these 10ish forum trolls)

Thanks again for hosting and running these open raids. It was fun to see some of this content for the first time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was curious about quantifying the chances at various pixels and figured others might be interested too, so I wrote a little script to analyze my log file. Note that I didn't attend Naggy. See below for the data, but here are some quick observations/thoughts:

• If you play a relatively unpopular class and something drops, you have a pretty good chance (sometimes >50%).
• If you're going to do just 1 raid, Fear is probably the best because of the number of trash drops.
• You're probably not going to get an all/all item like AoN/RBB (<1% chance).

Hate:

• Trueheart Shield - 2 rollers (50%)
• Apothic Kilt - 25 rollers (4%)
• Essence of a Vampire - 2 rollers (50%)
• Beckon - 7 rollers (14.29%)
• Vexthorne - 22 rollers (4.55%)
• Diamond Rod - 15 rollers (6.67%)

Fear:

• Eyerazzia - 2 rollers (50%)
• Shiverback-hide Armbands - 2 rollers (50%)
• Eyerazzia - 3 rollers (33.33%)
• Shiverback-hide Jerkin - 4 rollers (25%)
• Cryosilk Bracelet - 38 rollers (2.63%)
• Cryosilk Sash - 55 rollers (1.82%)
• Eyerazzia - 1 roller (100%)
• Shiverback-hide Armbands - 1 roller (100%)
• Cryosilk Gloves - 62 rollers (1.61%)
• Woven Shadow Greaves - 5 rollers (20%)
• Valorium Bracers - 1 roller (100%)
• Monsoon, Sword of the Swiftwind - 16 rollers (6.25%)
• Bone Razor - 22 rollers (4.55%)
• Vermiculated Bracelet - 32 rollers (3.13%)
• Indicolite Gauntlets - 3 rollers (33.33%)
• Vermiculated Bracelet - 27 rollers (3.7%)
• Vermiculated Leggings - 24 rollers (4.17%)
• Blighted Trousers - 13 rollers (7.69%)
• Blighted Boots - 14 rollers (7.14%)
• Ethereal Mist Helm - 19 rollers (5.26%)
• Wand of Darkness - 4 rollers (25%)
• Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood - 18 rollers (5.56%)
• Darkwood Trunk - 239 rollers (0.42%)
• Amulet of Necropotence - 233 rollers (0.43%)

Vox:

• Warhammer of Divine Grace - 21 rollers (4.76%)
• White Dragon Scales - 17 rollers (5.88%)
• Runed Bolster Belt - 197 rollers (0.51%)

Details on log file parsing for those curious: It's probably not perfect, but it just looks for a group of people all rolling the same die within a short time period (I decided on max 3 minutes between any 2 rolls). It then references a collection of item/number combinations from shout/ooc - if the item name appears in the Lucy item database, then it guesses that the number was someone announcing the roll. If there's then a match of a possible roll announcement happening within 3 minutes of a group of people rolling that number, then it links the events. I still had to manually cleanup the data slightly after this (e.g. after winning roll X was announced, someone did /rand X which erroneously made it look like they were the only roller and therefore winner for that item). I could have also missed rolls, especially in Fear where the raid was a lot more spread out.

Felt like the good old days. Lots of fun. Thanks for all your reporting on it @edmazur! I'm a little behind on setting up my public posts about it, but laying the infrastructure for the future events.
