Talk:Summon Candy Heart

From A KoL Wiki

Skill ID

  • the skill id used to be 16, perhaps this should be kept. also, why does coal<!---->esce have a comment in it? --Evilkolbot 16:10, 4 January 2008 (CST)
    • If I leave the word as it is, ModSecurity throws a "500 Internal Server Error" because it's blindly assuming that I'm trying to inject an SQL keyword. I sent an email to that effect to the mailing list; hopefully it'll get fixed. Also, we should probably not use the Skill template on this page since it really isn't a skill anymore, but a campground bookshelf function (maybe a new template?). --Quietust (t|c) 16:13, 4 January 2008 (CST)

Spading

These are the built in heart messages I've seen so far:

  • BDGER MSHRM
  • ZERG RUSH!
  • ORLY? YARLY
  • HUGS PLZ
  • BMINE 4FISH
  • KMAIL ME
  • ZOMG KWAII
  • BUYME STUFF
  • LESS THAN3

I'm sure there's more, and could someone more better than me add this to the main page? Thanks!--Barstool 18:31, 31 January 2007 (CST)

  • ITS A TRAP!

The only one ive seen thats not on your listJihiro 21:09, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Is someone going to make a reference to the random messages like we do for Crimbo? i.e. Zerg Rush = a common strategy in StarCraft, eh? w/e. typelogin 15:53, 2007.03.21 (CST)

  • Someone should make a font called "Jick's Candy";-) Any available symbols missing? --JRSiebz (|§|) 19:58, 1 February 2007 (CST)
    • What about the numbers? 2 of the built-in messages seem to have numbers in them. Besides, how else would you make a nice redundant "<3" without them? =) --'Ivan 20:40, 1 February 2007 (CST)
      • What, these numbers? --Quietust (t|c) 21:46, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Dur, that'll teach me not to check the talk page before boosting my MP enough to actually summon 29 hearts. --Emtu 19:34, 1 February 2007 (CST)

  • In other words (for those formulaically challenged), first heart = 1 MP, second = 1+2 MP, third = 1+2+3 MP, fourth = 1+2+3+4 MP, and so on and so forth. --JRSiebz (|§|) 17:48, 1 February 2007 (CST)

How about formatting like this for the page:

Use # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
MP Cost 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55 66 78 91 105 120 136 153 171
Total MP 1 4 10 20 35 56 84 120 165 220 286 364 455 560 680 816 969 1140

Likelihood of different hearts

Someone might want to make a table of this. My meager results so far:
(Edited out).

  • Please sign your posts. Also, here's the results table. --Quietust (t|c) 07:39, 1 February 2007 (CST)
    Sorry! Anyway, removing my results above since they are now included in the table below. --Eitheladar 09:56, 1 February 2007 (CST)
Outcome Total
white 124
pink 112
orange 98
lavender 130
yellow 132
green 120
Total 706

Huh. I stopped keeping track when I ascended from my first level 30 run (which had lots of mp, for some reason :^). Looks like no one else has been trying to add to this data. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 19:42, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

  • I stopped right after it started to look clear that they all have same odds. I generally save the hearts until the end of the ascension, and I've never had significantly more or less of some color at that point. But eh, I suppose I'll log them for a few days, and see if that's actually true. --Andemon 02:30, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

Unique Hearts Tabling

here's a link to a monte carlo table of probabilities for getting unique hearts. Not sure that it can be squeezed in - in fact it's probably best not squeezed in - but it's here for reference --Shokwave 08:42, 3 February 2007 (CST)

While it is a nice exercies in combinatorics, it is wrong if there isn't an equal likelihood of each color. See above table to decide if you think each color is equally likely. I'm starting to think, no, some are more likely than others. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 18:39, 6 February 2007 (CST)

Unsendable Characters

I've been checking on the characters that you can't send via heart-mail, and so far I've got these: !@#$%^&*(){}[]|\/-_=+'",~`:;

You can still send the less-than sign < and the period . surprisingly enough.

Just thought these might be useful.--Venturboy 16:36, 1 February 2007 (CST)

  • Not all that surprising given those are the only two included in Jick's Candy Font...--SomeStranger (t|c) 23:52, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Tip: This may seem obvious, but: a good way to not have to waste MMJs and still cast SCH many times a day is to use a bubblewrap bottlecap turtleban and/or one or two swords of static and/or any of the other non-consumable MP Restorers. That's how I've been able to cast it so many times when I've only had the skill for three days. --Emtu 00:38, 3 February 2007 (CST)
