Title: Question about slot items
Post by: DagDuDe on Jun 14, 2004, 02:43 PM
I was just wondering if there is something wrong with the wind slot items because whenever I use them nothing happens, but sometimes other people use them and they work.. is it just me?  :huh:

THey work weird....The wind changes either seem to come the next turn, many turns later, or it doesnt happen at all.

I think it might depend on the weather but ive seen it happen without a windchange

I've been always wondering the same question, it never occured to me to ask...
Could it be a glitch or is there really s system behind it?

Here is how it works.

The two wind slot items are not implemented. Just hit retry. The reason you see wind cancels and wind flips is becuase the random box (the one with the question mark on it) can be anything, that is including a wind change. So that is why they seem to happen at random.

lol, they aren't even implemented?  omg.

I was pretty sure I saw it happen.

My theory was:
The next weather effect, whatever it was going to be, is replaced with wind change.  Since weather effects come every X turns, then the timing of the wind change slot can alter how long it takes for the wind change to take place, i.e. if you're on the first turn of a thunder effect, then wind change won't happen for another 7 turns in a 4v4 game... but if you're on the last turn of a thor, then wind change seems to happen instantly on the next turn.

So this theory's no good I guess :X
