A lot of us do these RNG events in the hope that we can make something back or find something neat. But how much is it truly luck and how much of it does the management "tip the scales" to maximize profit?

Last year's DuskRuin dig had several T5 winners in just the first few hours! This year it looks to be back-loaded. Coincidence? RNG? Out of 10's of thousands of digs? We know the GMs can do a whole lot of crap in terms of altering dice rolls, prize output, even magically materializing objects in the hands of players. At this point, can all this be just RNG or is RNG just the new "God works in mysterious ways"?

You would know if I were a GM. There wouldn't be any grammar errors in the game.

Actually, we know Mogonis is NOT a GM because he uses Lich.

They can't use it on their player characters even on a different computer?

I've never asked about the "on a different computer" part to any of them. Want to chime in on that Wyrom?

I doubt he'll want to chime in, but the answer is pretty obvious.

GMs still pop in with their PCs. Unless it's changed or I heard/read incorrectly, they just can't use the same computer they use for their GM character. Lich shouldn't be off limits, and I wouldn't be surprised if some use it but stay off LNet.
