Now if Lauda could sort it so it reads as a Legendary Staff Member instead of the reverse Staff Member Legendary when that activity is reached Wink

But yah the Staff Trumps the Legend

Legendary Staff Member would be a pretty sweet title. Tongue

Don't forget about me either. You will join our club soon as well. I'm a unlucky person in general so being above 900 already and a hero member is not a surprise.

Staff rank trumps legendary any day Grin

Code:

update smf_members set ID_POST_GROUP=21 where ID_POST_GROUP=8 and
activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concat(ID_MEMBER,
secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10);

The required activity level per user is suitably random for betting, but anyone who can read my code (there are a few such people) will be able to exactly predict when someone will become Legendary, so I don't really recommend it.

Thanks, shorena.

Previously, I thought it was a lottery of some sort. A lucky draw of all hero members with a set quota every 2 weeks. This system is fairer than I thought.

I have never seen this said or quoted on the forum. It does echo theymos' words "random and different for every member". So, the activity threshold is actually predetermined by a formula. Can any one confirm this?

Can you make getting legendary provability fair? So we know if you don't like us that we get it anyway

Nah, that'd significantly complicate things. Currently this randomness is done with a single SQL query, which is very convenient.

Code:

update smf_members set ID_POST_GROUP=21 where ID_POST_GROUP=8 and
activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concat(ID_MEMBER,
secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10);

I wonder who will be the first among you to reach legendary.

We're still in the waiting list.

There is not actually a waiting list to become a legendary member, you will become a legendary member when you have the random required amount of activity that is based on your UID and a secret hash.

Is this something that's truly important to anyone? Just curious.

I am one of the luckier ones. I forgot when I turned legendary, low to mid 800s I believe. It's not really important, just nice to have but no different after you got it.

Edit: Come to think about it, this is extremely important for account sellers.

When does legendary happen? I'm at 952. Am I just unlucky or what? lol

The random generator hates your seed was not that good when you made the account.
Had mine set around 800
That said there is not that many periods left till you hit the cap so at least their is a silver lining.

Under the assumption that each activity point has the same probability to give you the rank legendary, that there are 256 such values from 775 and 1035 and that it was predetermined and as such grows linear.

The chance for you to reach legendary on the next activity increase are:

Code:

name		act	prob.
Master-P	826	20.31%
EAL		854	31.25%
Blazed		882	42.19%
Mitchell	896	47.66%
notlist3d	924	58.59%
defaced		966	75.00%

Interesting thanks for sharing. I figure I will be one of the unlucky ones. At first I was always checking day of change if I made it after posting that day.... but at some point I realized if I don't expect it each week it's much easier then wondering thinking each week will be the one.

Maybe I can one day be highest level hero that is not legendary... that is like captain of the B team not bad

. But one day it will happen... one day hopefully.

I'd regard the rankings as a bit of fun and there are so many accounts coming to fruition compared to pre 2013 ones that I can't imagine young padowans on here will look to them with awe in the same way as the older ones.

Not important really, but who does not want "Legendary" by their name?

There is not actually a waiting list to become a legendary member, you will become a legendary member when you have the random required amount of activity that is based on your UID and a secret hash.

Theymos has said that only two people have access to the code that contains the secret hash, and that he will never give it up himself. My best guess would be that either BadBear or grue is the other person who has access to the code with the secret hash, so in theory one of them could tell you when you will become legendary, however I would not personally hold my breath waiting for either of them to do so.

Pretty sure he meant it to join in on the "fun" speculation, not seriously.
