Talk:Zaishen Combat

Why is it presumed that these loop on a 49 quest cycle? Quizzical 00:45, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know, that's just what it says on Template:Zaishen forecast/Combat/data. Looks like Kirbman was the one who did it.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 02:23, November 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * I assumed that that was just intentionally leaving more slots than he thought necessary. If we assume it repeats after 28 (as everything else that appears more than once before repeating appears exactly four times before a repeat) and it takes longer, then that would show a wrong prediction on the first page when the 29th day rolls around, until someone sees it and fixes it.

 * I'd considered that, but I wondered why he would expand it past 35 when we were only at 9. It made me think he had some other reason that made 49 a better assumption than 35.  Ah well, it doesn't really matter.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 03:09, November 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Figures, I just spotted this discussion now that its changed from that. The reason I had put it on a 49 item cycle was to purposely overestimate so that predictions in the next week later in the cycle didn't start incorrectly showing as quests from the beginning of the cycle. The excess days were just a buffer to avoid false predictions really. --[[Image:Kirbman sig.png]] Kirbman 22:36, November 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * It was a good idea. Nice work setting it up.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 07:13, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
