Hi
I been wondering. Sometimes when Im playing it feel like the same kind
of item gets dropped over and over. Like carazy hat week and then
Kraken shell day and then one time like for 2 days NOTHING but green
stuff dropped and then today Jaina does some pit runs and she finds a
gold collosus blade then a little bit later she finds a green colossus
bldae. Like battle.net decided today would be collosus blade day. Does
this ever happen to anyone else?

All the time! Like, just the other day, I was puttering around just killing
stuff, you know, as one does, and a green amulet drops. So I'm thinking ho
hum, another iratha's. But it turns out to be tal's. Then another green
amulet drops, and it's tal's again! So I keep running around the same game,
and yep, you guessed what happened next.
And then the game after that, a mara's amulet dropped, and then one dropped in
the next game too! It was like, amulets day! I started to wonder if I'd
managed to steal agd's luck back from you.
Oh, and then I woke up.

I'm not nasty, I'm just misunderstood.

No, never happens to me. Then again, I don't have any luck left, it all got
snatched by this "innocent" <snigger> person. ;-)

Oh yes. For me, today was green hat day. Nat's, Guillaume's, Tal's. Oh, and
3 green Breast Plates in 3 runs. And a Soulflay, and a Kinemil's.
Sorry, who stole whose luck?

My 'zon had green belt [1] day yesterday - arctic binding, sigon's
wrap, death's sash. Also found a nice rare belt.
The rather unexpected Tal's amulet i got off _normal_ Izual a few days
before wasn't part of a 'themed' day, however.
[1] not to confuse with greenbelt.

Yeah, but with me it's more like five monsters in a row dropping
cracked sashes.

Ah, this is quite easy to explain. The way items are generated is by
using a key that is passed to the item gen routine. Said key is
allegedly random, but in reality is not, it is a psuedo-random number
taken from the system clock. Needless to say, this is rife with holes.

Ha, this sounds like an overly scientific way of saying that Kaytie stole
agd's luck.
