So far, it's been like this:

Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Nice, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Nice, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Nice, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Nice, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Nice, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Nice, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty...

I think a strikebreaker might be, well, nice...

I love the game, I dislike the winter events...

huh... I get nice about 50% of the time. The longest streak of nice I got was 16 presents. I've never gotten that many naughty in a row though.

When I logged into Virtue after the shut down I was getting about a 10:1 naughty to nice. I joined a team and haven't tried lately :P

Make sure your inspiration tray isn't full. I've notice it helps just like when you want to get more treats during the halloween event.

Welcome to the world of the Random Number Generator. I remember someone else saying this as an example. Lets say you tell another person to write down one-hundred random numbers on a piece of paper. So he writes the numbers 2, 5, 8, 7, 7, then he'll say "I've already picked seven twice, so lets pick something else."

The computer is entirely different. You can tell it to pick one-hundred numbers at random, and it could pick the number 5 ninety-nine times in a row.

For me, it seems to be an even 50/50 chance. You probably just had a bad luck streak. =/

I am not really sure if it is supposed to be a 50 % chance of CC.

All tests I have done results in somewhere between 35-40 %.

That's why they put in the streakbreaker: to generate results that feel random even though they aren't.

I've been getting Toy Collector on as many alts as possible, and it averages out to about 36 Nice out of every 100 presents so far. This is out of 24 times getting it so far this year. Most character totals fall really close to the average, with a few being a noticeable amount higher or lower.

One character was a good, long streak of Nice broken only by a few Naughty.
Logged on today, different character, I've hit exactly one Nice.

It's just plain old random.

And I thought my badging was out of control.

I have a real compulsion for event badges. Add to that the reduction to mere 100 presents necessary, making it take 35-45 minutes, depending on competition in the zone, and it's a recipe for a quest.

yeah I gotta say its a little skewed as well, now normally I don't comment but yeah every character i've got has run into this.

Got one I created a few months back , lvl 28 , hasn't even seen a present or a candy cane.. I start popping presents.. I collect the badge 'Toy Collector' I look at my alotment of candy canes.. 11 O.o .

ok that just seems odd to me.

However I'll try and delete some inspirations and see if that makes a difference

Combat Kangaroo Rifle/Energy/Mace/Spiritual Blaster
Kung Fu Kangaroo Martial Arts/Reflexes/Body/Spiritual Scrapper

Wow. I haven't run into any that were that low of a rate. My condolences for a lousy run. Did number 25 today and she had 38 Nice out of 100.

You've not been Heroing hard enough!
Either that, or you know you're doing well as a villain

The longer you've spent in Pocket D typing but not moving the more likely the game is to think you are naughty ^_^.

Agreed. It's like flipping a coin ten times a day every day. At least one day you're probably going to wind up with nine Tails. That was your day right there.

Oh, and for the record, I got mostly Naughty on my Main Scrapper and my second account's Emp Defender, while my AR blaster... she got a lot of Nices. *shrug*
