    The simple fact here is that this isn't called The Doctorn Test, it's about Rosary Beads. I have not missed anything. You have not read a single thing I have said with an open mind, but one that wishes to nit pick and prove something that even yourself can not prove. You too are providing observational bias. If you want someone to say your right so you can earn that pat on the back sir, then sure, you are right. It doesn't effect it. You've provided very concrete evidence on this.
    I found about ~6 SEs with DoctorN. Does that mean it increases the quality of city finds? :)

    Butters [34298]

    Doctorn does not affect the frequency, regularity or quality of city finds.

    Repoman [1280877]

    I disagree. I will think Ched wants us to work hard and look threw the city and somewhere feeling in the program it knows if you use Doctorn or not.

    Butters [34298]

    I've used both used doctorn for extended periods and have had it off for extended periods and have been tracking city finds for *far* long than you and I can assure you that Doctorn does not affect city finds as the rate of finds stays the same. If you actually took the time to dig a little and read some of the threads on city find item tracking since ched made the most recent update you would realise that going for days without a find is perfectly normal now and then (ie. it's a bit shit for everyone). Out of curiosity what is your awareness at - ie. do you have any boosts from company job, education or merits?

    Repoman [1280877]

    Youre making vast assumptions that I haven't read plenty of fourms and done my research, also that I haven't tracked my city finds for a long time. City finds have been the 2nd most important factor to me in all the years I've played. I just chose to now document them publicly due to the Rosary Bead test. Also with regards to days without finds, I understand that but if you took the time to read my post and all the previous ones, you would note I said this is the first time I've gone this many days without a find since I started the test, and it was coincidentally the same time in which I download Doctorn. So you have not convinced me otherwise of it's lacking of effect. Though I do take some consideration in your opinon due to your fourm experience and time played. I have every education boost, full merits and used to work at a zoo but quit the job to allow for other successes to be chased in the game. Nothing personal with my replys, we are all chasing the same curiosities. Just retorting to statements made.

    Butters [34298]

    The simple fact here is that you went three days without a spawn and can assure you that is a regular occurrence for everybody - even with all of the awareness boosts. Ched himself has stated that this high degree of variability were seeing is not unusual and is how the system works now, but I guess you must have missed that. In the end all that is happening here is an exercise in observational bias.

    Repoman [1280877]

    The simple fact here is that this isn't called The Doctorn Test, it's about Rosary Beads. I have not missed anything. You have not read a single thing I have said with an open mind, but one that wishes to nit pick and prove something that even yourself can not prove. You too are providing observational bias. If you want someone to say your right so you can earn that pat on the back sir, then sure, you are right. It doesn't effect it. You've provided very concrete evidence on this.
    Classic deflecting behaviour - I don't need any pat on the back from you or anyone else as I don't post seeking approval, in the end facts are facts and they speak for themselves.

    Having said that when you conduct an experiment and make running commentary on your observations (which in and of itself is unwise) you start reaching for cause that fits in with your hypothesis (or in this case doesn't impact upon it) out of a need to explain what you are seeing, even in the absence of any reliable body of evidence to support that cause (ie. observational bias).

    I've got no issue with what your experiment (although you are failing to control external factors when you vary your behaviour in the casino and your sample size will be way too small to support any sort of reliable conclusion), but understand that when you start making definitive statements that fly in the face of all other observation to this point, out of what is essentially a knee-jerk reaction, then such statements should be questioned.

    Day 28: The process of creation continues. Based on George's new look, I have a feeling he's been picking all the items up for himself. Making a way for getting off the streets perhaps? For I have once again, day 5, have not found an item.

    So I've added a few new stimulation variables. I started looking around the city frequently even if I know there's nothing there and going to various stores and services through the city, even if I do not need to use them. I also started flying. Trying to generate some change in the game.

    The casino has been working out daily, so I'm going to refrain from that now and see if the luck disperses to other area of the game.

    I hit 500k on the 1 million dollar wheel and 100k on the 50k wheel. Still haven't won a lottery. Like I said the casino was once again good to me. Though I broke my rule of small bets and it went in a sour direction again, but was able to recover and semi profit once I went back to small bets.

    3 days to go!!

    Should I do next a month of no crimes plus praying and donating?

    Or

    Should I do the next month no prayer and no beads?

    Let me know!

    I know I can (I know I can)
    Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
    If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
    I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)

    Day 29:

    Found some knuckle dusters.

    Hit 500k on the 1m wheel again, and got a T-shirt on the 50k.

    Hit it big on roulette, lost it all on poker.

    And that's the story of my ever so exciting life :P

    So I've not been following this thread, is this a Torn version of those moronic YouTube vloggers who distort children's understanding of reality?

    Day 31: The last chapter: Well its been a good run folks! I honestly thought by the end of this I would have had at least one decent find but that was not the point of this, at least we have some data now to analyze and forum an opinion on.

    Today I found some tear gas

    25 points on million wheel

    T-shirt on 50k wheel

    and still paying off that loan shark, so no casino information.

    I gave my Rosary Beads away, so now I shall start posting on this forum from a new perspective.

    No prayer, No donations, No beads.

    Day 1 starts tomorrow!

    One love!

    I know I can (I know I can)
    Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
    If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)

    Cool thanks for documenting so far. It would be interesting to pray everyday with the rosary beads while also using the finders keepers book

    Day 5: Found no item in the city today, received a certificate of awesome from the 1 m wheel, and 12.5k on the 50k wheel.

    NOW something dawned on me. I'm no longer praying or donating for this next month of data. But for those who have started. Perhaps only donate once a week. Like how people go to church on Sundays. But feel free to pray daily. I found the more I had donated to the church the less I found and quality dropped, could this be because the high amount donated reflected to the game I have money and don't need finds, who knows, I don't. But perhaps.

    So pray daily and donate once a week you beautiful people.

    I had a fella message me today telling me for the first time ever he went and donated 500k and prayed, then when he went to the city at reset, bamn 4 items and one of them dumbbells!!!! So there's a little hope restored for y'all!!

    I know I can (I know I can)
    Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
    If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
    I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)
