For 5 tickets.. I won 11k and lost ~800 games. It really is NOT expensive to do this. The money requirement is so you can ride out bad streaks.

It's not?

Well, in my experience it is. I bought my first 800 tickets and they lasted for 16,000 tickets won.
Then I bought 2000 tickets thinking they would bring me to 50,000 tickets won and the title. Boy was I wrong. They ended up giving me another 16k making it 32,000 tickets won in total.
So, well... my next 2000 tickets will get me the title for sure! Nope. The next 2000 tickets brought me another 16k! Making it 48k in total. Then I bought another 500 which got me 50,000 tickets won in total. And after I got the title I had 650 tickets left. The world is hella cruel.

where is the information inferring account based titles wont count toward KoaBD? i havent heard anything about that at all. swinging fists i agree with you and in my opinion AND quoting what it says ("You will earn the title Kind Of A Big Deal if you reach the highest tier in each of 5 different titles."), ALL titles obviously would count toward it.

i heard there are 5 levels of titles to the charmed and hapless ... and for the last one you need 2.5 mil tickets won

Also, the best way to get the charmed title is to play the 10 ticket game and stand on the center (you have a 5/9 chance of winning). However, since you lose more, it'll be very costly.

On the 3x3 grid you have a net prophet of -5 tickets each 9 games assuming a different circle is selected no matter where you stand. That said standing in the center doesn't mean anything.

Do we get to keep these titles after the event?

/afk

Standing afk in the middle ring FTW!

I can only imagine the response from those who've run their power bills to the max after leaving their computers on for the entire event.

Here you go ladies and gentlemen!

I am in District 1, if you want to see for yourself

It's not Fortunate. It is Favored for 250K

Guinevere Ac · Jul 01, 2006, 04:02 PM // 16:02

it took a day, but i worked out something. if it's a pattern then it has been a damn hard one to decript... but i'm mostly sure it's a bug it the random ring generator.

in both cases, i'm able to determine when a given ring is gonna win. it's a hard math, so atm i'm only working on a single corner at a time... can't say which ring is winning every round but i can say when my corner ring is winning or not.
i still need to fix some minor mistakes in my math but it's working...

tadaaaaaah. no whispers, no mp, no explanation or a.net is gonna fix this in 1 hour from now

Woudl you mind posting your Hero menu? Would be a little more believable if you had huge amounts of wins recorded and very few losses. Hell, I could simulate that screen shot by emptying my inventoy, buying max tickets, and waiting for a winning streak.

bobert_monduvia · Jul 01, 2006, 06:47 PM // 18:47

if your inventory is full, would the tickets actually drop on the ground like that?
and would they ever become unreserved?

B§x¿44¶»1@$ · Jul 01, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

If I am correct, you get both titles fastest in a corner of 3 by 3. In a set of 9 games you will win 55, and win 15 twice, totalling 85. In the center you get a win of 25, and 4 wins of 15, totalling 85. So you can have 6 losses with your 85, or 4 losses with your 85. I'll take the 6 losses- Jynxed here I come!

Yes to both questions.

B§x¿44¶»1@$ · Jul 01, 2006, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Anyone care to confirm Jynxed as level 3 of unlucky?

Marth Reynolds · Jul 01, 2006, 06:57 PM // 18:57

that's supposedly to happen when youre inventory is full when you get gifts.
(that they fall out like wintersday)

Disadvantaged is the third tier. Which sucks because Jinx sounds so much better.

bebe · Jul 01, 2006, 08:17 PM // 20:17

my first account has charmed (1) and hapless (1)
second account only has hapless (1). working on charmed. :|

shadowfell · Jul 01, 2006, 08:28 PM // 20:28

So far I have , unlucky (2) and lucky (2), and I'm about 70k away from favoured (3)

BlueNovember · Jul 01, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

"Favored" doesn't sound as nice as "lucky", and is spelled wrong. :P I plan to stay in the corner until I've just about finished Lucky, the when it's close, move to the 4*4 game to get Jinxed without getting Favoured.

150k... that's quite a sting.
