From my interpretation I think that is accurate. Given the program that generates job lists knows how many berserkers it 'has' to give to each person, it might assign berserker jobs before it rolls for jobs so you might get your berserker assigned on fire, then it will roll you a berserker on water. This is assuming they generate all of your jobs at once, which is how I'd handle it because other wise you have to have a program rolling jobs attached to the twitter account 24/7 instead of a program that just reads from a simple spreadsheet 24/7 with a side bit that generates a job list whenever a new run is started.

That'd make sense, though it's not like a program to generate a job is particularly difficult:

Code: [Select]

fireJobs = [ *jobs here* ]
waterJobs = [ *jobs here* ]
... so on


if crystal == 'fire'
  job = fireJobs[random.randint(0, FIRE_MAX)]
  upQuery = 'UPDATE user_jobs SET fire_job = ' + job + ' WHERE user= ' + user
elif crystal == 'water'
  job = waterJobs[random.randint(0, WATER_MAX)]
  upQuery = 'UPDATE user_jobs SET water_job = ' + job + ' WHERE user= ' + user

etc

db.execute(upQuery)
tweet( '@' + user + " You've rolled " + job + ' for the ' + crystal + ' Crystal!')



EDITS:
If I'm gonna do pseudocode, it should probably be perfect, right?

You forgot the flavour text that gets tweeted based on what job is selected.

[Xgamer4]

I've never actually done the challenge before, so I didn't know there was flavor text. <_<

The runs are happening. I'll leave the Multitwitch link if you want to see both.

Cool didn't know it would start early.  Man they are burning through it... what kind of time will they finish in?

[Baneling]

Estimates put it around 7-8 hours, I think. Practise and routing runs took abouuut 14 hours, so... *shrug*

[bulborbish]

Both have reached the 2nd World and it's about 4 hours in.

If I had to guess, I would estimate 10-12 hours, since they can't just skip half the tablets and both have to slog to be able to beat Necrophobe.

Got excited earlier when they mentioned that the fiesta might start early when the run finishes. Also looks like they(Specifically Puwexil) are not too far out from 3rd world, I think the exdeath fight with not-galuf is right before world 3 right?

[bulborbish]

At this point both of them are in the 3rd world, though dragondarch still has not collected tablets while puwexil has collected 3...

Then again, dragondarch has 10 levels on puwexil.


Also, mini-hype on the possibility of an early start.

[bulborbish]

Puwexil just beat NeoExdeath, and Dragondarch is on Twintania.

Early fiesta mini-hype?

[Denzi]

Sorry for the double post, but the Fiesta has started. Looks like My first job is Black Mage

[bulborbish]

WOOO, KNIGHT. GARULA HERE I COME. THE ZERKERRISK RANDOM NATURAL IS FREE AGAIN AFTER 10000 YEARS.

[alexwazer]

Eh, mine is white mage. In for a slow start.
