Nope, the whole implementation is a dupe. If you want a non-dupe have him remake it as a flavor update instead of a searching update.--Karekmaps?! 00:42, 25 October 2008 (BST)
- Are the search percentages the same? -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:46, 25 October 2008 (BST)
- Dunno about the same, i'd say they're not dissimilar though. I mean if he was proposing 50% search rates it'd be a different idea (still spammable though) butyeah this is really similar to in game but with a tiny bit of flavour explicitly stating there's a car here.--xoxo 00:48, 25 October 2008 (BST)
- About as dissimilar as TRPs and junkyards. The difference in the chance of finding something isn't that big, but the limited range drastically increases the chances of finding the individual items available there. Any of the three items found in cars has at least 10 times the chance as being found on the streets. --Midianian|T|DS|C:RCS| 00:55, 25 October 2008 (BST)
- Correct me if i'm wrong but "These cars should be able to be searched and there should be a low probability (under 10%) that you could find either a mobile phone, a book or a bottle of beer in it." means that the chance of finding ANYTHING is 10%, quite similar to the chance now i'd say. Considering there's 3 possible items and the only one of any real worth is the phone, the chance for that is 3.3% hardly game changing odds...--xoxo 00:57, 25 October 2008 (BST)
- So? Streets have about a 6% chance of finding something. You can find at least 13 different type of items on the streets. Divide the 6% among the many different possibilities (13) and you end at about 0.5%. 3.33% ≠ 0.5%. The difference might not seem that big, but look at it this way; 3.33% is once every 30 searches, while 0.5% is once every 200 searches. --Midianian|T|DS|C:RCS| 01:10, 25 October 2008 (BST)
- And <10% could be .00000001%. Your point? There's no where near enough information in the suggestion to back up claims of better searching.--Karekmaps?! 01:29, 25 October 2008 (BST)
- Search odds are irrelevant unless they are the best place to find an item. It's not the case for beer, it's not the case for books and it might be for phones, but, it's phones. And the difference between here and somewhere else is minuscule.--xoxo 01:34, 25 October 2008 (BST)
