| Can we change the way tips are given out. It's annoying to be tipping for a grave and get the same grave 4 times in a row. Same with tipping for unemployed bgs. | |

Can you detail how you would like it? |

| Just simple, I'm not sure what the code is now. But I tipped 4 times for a grave and 4 times in a row I got kharon whom I cannot rob the grave of for the life of me. Would be nice if every tip randomly generates a new name instead of giving the same one from time and again | |

I just hopped on your account and reviewed your personals, and I can't seem to find where you tipped and got Kharon 4 times in a row. Or even 3 times in a row. I did see one time that you got it twice in a row. Can you give me a timestamp so that I can review it again, perhaps I missed it? You can find your history under https://mafiareturns.com/news/personals.php?&sort=13 So that you can further detail how you would ideally like it, here is how it does it now: It pools all the graverobs in your location, removes proed graves, then orders them by highest on hand cash first. From that pool, it selects 1 out of the top 5 of that list. This gives the 'juiciest ones first' so that you have the highest probability of getting paid the maximum. While we can increase the 5 to a higher number, however, the more we increase the 5 the more it would mean that it is actively picking less than ideal graverobs. Which is OK as long as its for a valid reason. So before we change the code to something like 1 out of 10, ensuring that the new extra 5 have less money than the first five give, that we are doing so with a valid reason. I would hate to make changes that would hurt the player based upon hyperbole. So, again, I ask you, can you detail exactly what you would want?
On a side note, you lumped together BGs in the same as Graverobs. It gives you a random BG with priority given in the following order 1) Unproed 2) Same District 3) Same City 4) Shortest Flight. Sometimes there literally is only a 1 or maybe a few targets that fits that criteria at the time. We decrease the chances of getting a duplicate if you remove some of the criteria like it being unproed, or it being in the same city, or how far you are willing to fly to get it. Are you really getting that many duplicates when there are really other targets available, or is this also hyperbole? I am not against making changes, but lets just be sure that the changes are done for valid reasons rooted in truth. If you want to absolutely make sure that you don't get a name twice in a row out of 53 tips, then I can allocate some of our coding budget from something else to put it here to put in the method you detail for us. |

I have to agree with Alphonso because I tipped too for a grave to rob and got Kharon, but when I tried it just said "You were spotted and hauled your ass off" or something like that. And it did it every time I tried to rob that grave. |

My bad didn't realize I got a random other one in that cluster as well. I can't speak for others but I never care for the graves payout as it's the achievement payout I'm chasing. Maybe scripting it that once you reach earner or wiseguy where you are able to succeed any grave robbery you get the top 5 and prior yoi just get any random grave, as idk about others but I rather just get the xp from a successful grave in the beginning than risking getting graves that may pay well but I won't be able to rob. As for bg being in here too, i just threw it in as I've wanted to bring it up for about a year or so now but never got around to it. For that it would be just nice not to get repeats. Like godfather izzy was sacked and has iwp, well sweet but next time i tip in that location I don't want gf izzy again I want someone else. ( why might I tip again? Maybe I can only wound his bgs so want to try finding another dead player to shoot their unemployed bgs.) Sorry if any stupid spelling errors or choppy writing. Sending this via cell phone |
