Got Season 1 Card

Postby Prorescia » Fri Aug 14, 2020 5:25 pm

I just pulled a season one card named "Totally Not Merlin 39". I'm fairly certain you aren't supposed to be able to pull season 1 cards during season 2. I'm not complaining for getting a valuable card, but I would assume this is a bug.

Prorescia is a tourist friendly nation that has some of the most beautiful forests in the world. It controls a small part of current day Brazil about the size of French Guiana and is largely rural because of that with only 3 major cities, Santo Tablo, Pacifil, and Consanto Praia. The Government is Democratic and led by a Council who make most decisions. However, 5 democratically elected representatives can at any time call for a lack of faith vote which would impeach a current council member. The lack of faith vote is voted on by the populace which number in the thousands.

S1 packs have a 1% chance - though it appears you actually pulled the card via TCALS.

Notice that a transfer is occurring on the card between TNL and one of their puppets. When cards are on the market well above their supposed value, the game inserts the card into fresh packs in an attempt to prevent large scale laundering operations. This system is known as TCALS.

Thanks for the help! I guess it is nice to have a high value season 1 card anyway and it is good to know that it isn't a glitch in the system.

I must have gotten shit lucky then once… managed to pull a entire S1 pack, junked them though. In the end, don’t find a need for commons.
Behind the free market lies the iron fist of the state - the one thing I learned from The Blaatschapen, excluding how to say sheep in dutch.
Update: apparently it’s bleating sheep.

That's actually pretty common, the 1% chance of a S1 pack will always produce 5 S1 cards unless TCALS kicks in with a S2 card.

Huh. That’s cool.
Still, a 1% chance is pretty rare.

Are you sure it is a 1% chance? I have pulled at least 100 packs with this nation with about 90 on another nation and 9 on a third short lived nation and this is the first time I have ever gotten an S1 pack.

That could just be bad luck.

Gambler's fallacy

Contrary to our intuition, the chance of getting a S1 pack does not go up every time you get a S2 pack. The probability does not depend on past events, so it is entirely possible to get 100 or 150 or 200 S2 packs before a single S1 pack, even with a 1% chance of a S1 pack.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23
