Re: Better chance of winning nymphs if you don't spin oracle for a long time? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=14269.msg226859#msg226859

Could be that we remember coincidences more than we remember normal things. However I have an example of the opposite.
I have won two nymphs out of at least 30 spins. For three of those spins I had not spun in the past few weeks (including my first spin). One nymph was won from a spin after a long time with no spins (1/3) and one was won during a spin-heavy week (1/27+). Interesting, hm? Of course, unless zanz speaks up, we will never really know. Who would be in a study where they give up their spins for a month?
Somehow still around, somewhat

The study wouldn't have to require people willfully giving up spins.  Just log the full Oracle results along with the number of days since you last spun.  Some people will forget to spin some days, or real life will prevent them logging on.

Personally I don't believe this plays a part, but I posted a topic a while back suggesting it be implemented as a perk for casual players... with the stipulation that spinning every single day would still yield better odds.  The counter-argument was that spinning the oracle was intended as a reward for logging in every day, and mitigating the chances lost by not logging in would betray that.

everyone just ask Kael Hate to share what he knows, because he clearly knows a lot more than the rest of us about this.

Have you seen how many nymphs he has?
