  • Ygraine and Mari are now part of the generator.
  • Created $mgplaneswalker which should, if it functions, weight calls towards female planeswalkers while leaving the males possible. Haven't implemented it yet (though I may create a testing version of the magical girl prompt in order to), but if it blows up I have ideas of how to fix that. (thinking about it, I did this the complicated, janky way rather than the easy way.)
  • There is now an Affliction interaction, so afflictions should show up a lot more.

Quote:
Agmund is investigating the theft of a valuable artifact on a strange distortion in the Blind Eternities--a phenomenon known as Reality Shaping--outside of Aralheim and his suspects include The Eightfold Lotus, Ellia the Endbringer, Jade, and Larus of Vindstadr. To his surprise, all the facts point to... Syl of the Dual-Walkers !

Finally!

I'm personally in favor of anything that screws with gender. For obvious reasons. I like the fact that you can get male characters for the Magical Girl prompt.

NOTE: I'll be testing $mgplaneswalker. if it works, it should allow the list of all planeswalkers to appear as magical girls, but should be more likely to provide females than males (Unlike the current, unabridged and unweighted M:EM Roster). Though really part of me is just curious whether the syntax I used functioned, and has ceased caring what the Magical Girl prompt does.

This has a couple problems. Apparently, there's an excessive close bracket, and that weird sidekick mistake happened again. It seems like if it calls more than one entry, it rerolls them, potentially with an eye to hillarity.

But there's no time to learn the ropes as Huinn, Last of the Darkwings is raising an entire army of Dryad!]

Aaaaand there we go. That didn't work, but now I know why. It conclusively failed to work in a number of ways (using Molcru and shifter interchangably, and failing to properly recognize the gender tag) Huzzah for answers!

  • $girlplaneswalker has been removed, as it has no forseeable use and is really easy to recreate if anyone WANTS a females-only list
  • Still testing $mgplaneswalker, in a new form, to see if I have the hang of weighting things.

I would think some form of the [#Whatever] should be able t clear up at least some of those issues, but I don't have the time to play around with it just now.

But will the power of An Æther Vent be strong enough to give them all powers?]

The Squirrel explains that Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands has been chosen to become the last defender of the small, mountainous plane of Ergamon and using the magic of one of the Keys of the King Vasilias, she can become the hero known as Magical Girl Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands! However, the challenges facing the new hero may prove more than she can handle, and Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands must go find allies such as Kahr-ret-Taris and Huinn, Last of the Darkwings !

(Dark Magical Girl doesn't call $mgplaneswalker, so this doesn't count. if $mgplaneswalker works out, it might. maybe.)

The sidekick really needs to be called from $race, it seems -- designating something as a #character doesn't appear to prevent rerolling if more than one roll was involved -- hence molcru swapping out with the shifter in the first version.

Called a Male $mgplaneswalker or Timmeran Fiend
(Tumbleweeds...)

It's clear now that this is too heavily weighted. I set the males to 30%, figuring that since there were more them, that would get between 2:1 and 3:2 female:male calls.

Yeah, didn't get one in the first... however many are there. How do these percentages work, anyway?

In the entire time since I put it in there, I have never called up a Timmeran Fiend, which saddens me. In my testing, the percentages REALLY nerf it's chances of appearing. I think, though I'm not completely sure, that it works sort of like a lottery. So, imagine that each entrant gets, say, 100 tickets. Alessa gets 100, Cara gets 100, Jade gets 100, and so forth and so on. By applying a percentage, that person only gets that number, say 30. So, if we have (and I'm making these numbers up) 30 walkers, 15 of each gender, then that's 1950 total "tickets." So, each woman in the list has a 5% chance of being called. Each male has a 1.5% chance.

I think...

However, this is what it says on the site: "[{20%} Adds a new element to the current list, but this element will only have a 20% chance of being added to the random selection table."

So, I'm not completely sure that's the same thing...

The percent indicates the chance that an option will appear in the list, not the chance that it will appear in the final result. It randomly decides whether the option will appear, first, and then it randomly picks from the resultant list.

I can think of some workarounds for the problem but I'm honestly not sure any of them are worth it considering the convoluted stuff it would require... I might take a stab at it later.

Called Male/Fiend
Nada


This has turned into some real interesting science! With the boys at 75%, we should have seen some calls! After all, we know that % can work -- we've gotten enough oddball creatures and low % PROMPT calls, but something seems to be bugging out with $planeswalker and $mgplaneswalker.

I'm going to rewrite $mgplaneswalker again, but put all the boys to 99%. If we still don't see the males called, we'll know weighting is borked somehow.

Okay, so, let's say there's a list of 100 items. Assuming no item is weighted, each thing has a 1% chance of getting called, right?

So then, if you weight an item at 1%, it then has a 1% chance of even being included in that list, and then, if it happens to hit, it has another 1% chance of actually getting called?

Man, no wonder than one thing has never shown up...

Called Male (or Timmeran Fiend)
bupkis

I think that's pretty conclusive -- any {%} tag on Planeswalkers seems to zero their chances. I'm betting it's interfeering with the other {tag}, gender. We haven't seen Ashkanar-That-Was (with a {native} tag) get called since it was put to a %, either.

I'm going to try moving the % tag inside the gender tag, and seeing what that does.

Alright, new conditions

  • Males are at 99%
  • The 99% tag is INSIDE the gender tag
  • I fixed the close bracket and sidekick on the REAL magical girl prompt. Just in case.

Time to see if it keeps giving no males, or if it messes up the "as gender" call


Called Female

Ding! It seems like if there's more than one {tag} on an item, ones after the first don't function. If one of the nonfunctional tags is a % weight, it makes it impossible to call the item.

That's really odd. Good work, though!

13:7 Female:Not Female calls. I think, for once, all may be right with my coding. The only question is whether it's a worthwhile endeavor at all to weight the blasted thing in the first place.


This has got nothing to do with my testing, but I thought I'd share it.

Wow, the Fiend showed up fairly often there! I'm also very pleased with the "Syl writes a story" one!

I've been waiting a long time for that to show up, and this was a great application of it! Barinellos should be happy now! (I think he wrote that one...)

Yep, that one was one of mine.

Personally, despite how much work you put in Szat, I just don't think it was worth it for this. We did learn a few things about indexes, but I don't see how weighting it really improves the prompt.

Gruff vs. cheeseburger. Gruff is the best choice for this event.

Well now we know why the Timmerian Fiend was never a protagonist, right?

And I took the liberty of fixing it, even though it meant the Fiend showing up as much as any other PW.

Learning is fun!
