how do I get in touch with a sys admin?

[drcobb]

Hi again,

More annoying questions. So, today, I searched in a Mall drugstore with about 40 AP and never found a single FAK (or anything, for that matter). I know that probabilities don't mean certainty (i.e. a 25% chance does not mean that I will get a FAK every fourth search), however, I was having much better chances finding plenty of FAKs in Hospitals.

Since the search percentage for FAKs in hospitals is so much lower than in drugstores, I wonder if something is up.

I would like to get in contact with a sys-admin to make sure I haven't accidentally triggered some of the automatic countermeasures that reduce percentages to make things more fair. Anyway, it seems rather weird to search 40 times for 0 FAKs, when I have shopping, which is supposed to make it easier to find things.

Anyhow, thoughts, suggestions? Please, I feel annoyed!

Kindly,

Dr. Cobb

How many characters do you have atm?

[drcobb]

I have two characters, however, they are about as far away as two people can get in Malton.

Do you share your Internet connection with anyone or use AOL ?

Well then you luck just really sucked, I once went two 50 AP cycles searching in a powered PD and not find anything.

[skyvia]

Yeah that does happen to most people every now and again

[drcobb]

Ok, thanks. I thought that was probably the case, but I just wanted to make sure that 40 AP for 0 results wasn't too far from the norm. Thanks for the responses.

Bah, yep, bad luck only.

Sounds like you couldn't have triggered the anti-cheat system, unless you're on AOL and sharing an IP with someone. Generally, finding nothing in 40ap just means you had an unlucky day. The RNG can be a fickle thing. One day it'll shower you with riches, and the next it'll shaft you with no FAKs, leaving you to get shot three times in a row by a guy armed with nothing but flare guns.
