@Janeks Ah thanks, fixed that

@Janeks

Ah thanks, fixed that part.

@Skepticraven

Well, don't blame me. If 90% of an event is recycled, it is kinda impossible to contribute more than 10% new information.

Also, I don't care at all if I rehash anything. There is no law stating that any piece of information may only exist once on the internet. I don't write my blogposts for the experts who keep tabs on anything and have a bookmark folder just for Spiral Knights. My field guides are meant to answer the questions that are repetitively asked in guildchat/townchat after an event starts. I find it much more convinient (for all involved parties) to just tell people to go to http://spiral.onyxbits.de instead of giving them a couple of forum nodes and a handful of keywords to google for.

@Spiral-Spy

We've been through this before in your other threads. I provide links for non-ad/tracker enabled websites in your advert thread for your website. I've pointed out in other threads of yours that you often don't have 100% accurate information (of which was corrected).

The legitimacy of your data is once again quite questionable, and for good reason. You say that there is about a 4% chance, which implies that you don't legitimately know what the odds are, and are just making things up and then trying to pass them off as being real data. I doubt that you did any sort of studying of graveyards with actual data, due to how quickly you were able to post this, and SEGA does not approve of file digging enough to let you come on here and post every single odd accurately.

I mean, I want to be everything that's wrong with the world too, but I never just make things up because the GMs said they would ban me for "spam" if I kept doing that. When I have done questionable calculations with very little basis, I must at least say so directly and would have otherwise chosen to, should I not be trying to deceive everyone for no reason. Like, "No it probably isn't true on more than an order of magnitude and we'll never know."

It's not the tier of prestige mission that gets locked, it's the stratum, so you can do say the D9 and D14 prestige missions if you want.

@Scepticraven What can I say?

@Scepticraven

What can I say? I dislike the ads as much as you, but unless you are going to convince my hosting company to provide their service for free, I got bills to pay. Personally, I think that it's fair if those who benefit from my work also chip in to cover for the cost of making it available.

@Fehzor

Whether you want to understand "about" as "rounded to the next decimal", "an educated guess" or "a wild speculation. Is really up to what you believe how the number(s) came to be. Freedom of belief is a human right and as an advocate for human rights, I feel compelled to allow you to believe whatever you want.
If you want to believe that I do my research alone, than that's just as ok as if you want to believe that my numbers are wrong.

So why don't you just choose to believe that you don't have bills to pay? Then you too could benefit from your work.

So since you're propagating information that you yourself have in part fabricated (see Skepticraven, as well as the various dice pictures that you have shared with us when questioned about your methods), you are quite literally trying to screw all of us over with this... and we aren't allowed to spread lies in such a fashion, or at least I'm not, as I found out when I fabricated the gunner update being confirmed canceled for no good reason.

Am I missing anything?

Lately, all of your threads seem to be reposts of information already available [again, why I provide the links in my first post of each thread]. Is your next blog post going to be a complaint about supply depot flash sales with all the information that other people gathered [I hosted the past 2 forum thread logs]? During winterfest are you going to rehash Krakob's data for the solstice ring drop rates? I've already got the links ready if that is your plan.
