Soul Mother won't visit me!

[Odranoela]

Wel, I'm not complaning but.. Am I that lucky?
Lino is level 15 and has died so, but so, but so many countless, times nad never had a Soul Mother visit.
He is starting to think this is a prank, Shadon is making Lino's visits "silent" so when the last part of his soul is taken he can go "Ha - Ha, Ha - Ha, Ha - Ha" Like the simpsons movie's kid.

I've heard of rumours that on occasions of lag spikes, the roll sometimes doesn''t take place. I've seen it happen before, but not usually for several times in a row...

Maybe something up with that...

Well I personally know a fighter type that had 0 up to level 20 and now has about 6 strands once they passed level 20.  Your chances just increase and as everyone knows when crafting, you roll low when you least want it to happen.

edit:  Forgot, your chance to roll low seem to increased if you're playing a cleric for some odd reason.

Man, and I thought Farros was lucky with 2 at level 17.  He dies a lot though...

I always felt maybe the Soul Mother liked me extra because of all the poor little monster souls I keep sending her, or maybe she just has a crush on Farros and treats him special.

Galan started out real lucky.  Made it to something like Level 8 without losing a single strand, and died a LOT at first (I think I racked up something like 50+ deaths in that time).
 
 Then, once I lost one, I lost three more in quick succession.  So when the dam finally breaks my friend, be afraid.  Be very afraid.

Thanks for the answers so far.
I'm only asking because Lino has died so much it's even weird he never got a DT/ lost SS.

PS: If there is any chance this might be some kind of evil bug doing this, GMs may feel free to check my characters, account, etc.

@Odranoela,
 
 After researching this it seems that all of your characters are infected with a disease. We have had to delete them all so that it would not spread.
 
 ........
 
 I am just joking!!!
 
 Enjoy your lucky rolls, they don't last forever.

Luck is a strange and quirky thing.  While not in the present, in the past I spent 3 years playing poker as my only source of income.  The funny thing about randomness, is at times it seem entirely not random.  Every poker player at times suspects the game is rigged.  "I just lost to 1 in 20 shots, 6 times in a row."  Well, when you have played hundreds of thousands of hands of poker, you begin to anticipate these losing streaks.

It is my experience that people notice extreme bad luck more then they do extreme good luck.  For instance, there have been several posts about how a character failed on X number of consecutive crafting attempts at 75%+, and none stating "Wow, I made 9 out of 10 successes at 25%"

So, for every character that loses 6 SS by level 10 with 20 deaths, there is going to be another character that dies the same number of times and lose 0 or 1.

By the way, bad luck I have given the term "Reverse lotto effect"  Like hitting the bad luck lotto.

ok now I hate Lino By the way I knew a cleric that was 20th level and had no DTs.

All of my PCs have been pretty steady at a DT for every 10 deaths and the only way I have slowed that down was by not getting killed of course

[Odranoela]

You know you love Lino!

[Pseudonym]

Why did you post this? You do know the Soul Mother peruses these forums didn't you and you've essentially just thrown a gauntlet at her feet!

[Odranoela]

Dunno, but if she is reading, here it goes: I DON'T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!

Welcome to the ranks of the soulful! *hands him a membership badge*

@Lino Have you ever considered that Leanthar maybe a Shadonite at heart? *smirks* Nice rolls though. Very nice

[Odranoela]

Hehe, L and Sadonite?
If so he'll be probably laughing his  off when everyone goes bananas after he says that the future of the new layonara was just a "prank" and that we'll be here for oh many years yet to come.. That's be the major prank!
