Computer software has to simulate things like a Dice roll. Computers use a function to do that, but studies have shown that the RNG did not produce the "expected" random results even in a LARGE sample set.
The beauty of this RNG is the results can hurt or help you. We can see in play out in SplinterlandsTV's giveaway. Those that don't win complain about the top winners. The top winners won 2% of the time. Some folks never won during the month (FOMO FEB or MONSTER MARCH). In the case of SPL-TV, there are other factors like # of wins per hour watched. That metric is hard to get, but I think some winners are on more often than other viewers. How do I know? There are some days when I watch 10 or 12 hours a day. I have done 15 hours in a single day.
Today's release of LAND Surveying adds another layer of RNG results to the game. Can JIM Morgan of "2 GF LUX" fame get a Castle or a Keep? Sure is possible, but highly unlikely. It more likely to happen so someone average. Here is an SPL player with "4" years of bad RNG. He/she got a CASTLE today!
Well, Congratulations to all those with Castle, Keep, Legendary, Magical and Occupied plots!!
The Land game is just starting. Landowners will have plenty of opportunities to have other RNG chances. As the LAND game becomes more mature, it will be much more COMPLEX and harder to do Min/Max with your business. I think some people like to see RNG has some impact on our Business events. We don't know what will happen over time, but it is exciting to see many new happy PLAYERS where the "RNG God" blessed the 5 plots of land they owned.
