  • "Under the hood, when you adventure somewhere with the crystal ball and a prediction is generated, this sets two flags
  • [mcbpturn##] = (your turns played + 1),
  • [mcbnext##] = (monster id)
  • where ## is the zone the prediction is in
  • If you adventure in a zone Z, the game checks if your turns played is > [mcbpturnZ] and [lastadv] != Z
  • if both those are true, your prediction is ignored
  • otherwise, you get the monster in [mcbnextZ]
  • this *looks* like "spend a turn and hit another adventure.php zone"
  • because spending a turn will make your turns played > [mcbpturnZ]
  • and hitting another adventure.php zone is guaranteed to set [lastadv] != Z
  • but e.g. the typical tavern changes lastadv without being adventure.php
  • so it works just as well." - cannonfire40 on discord
