Does the timing matter when one pulls the levers at the raffles?
Maybe it is just my imagination, but it seems the boulder goes further if one pulls the levers quickly.
Raffles question.

Re: Raffles question.
It's an unconfirmed rumor that the speed in which the levers are pulled can result in a more valuable prize.Pathor wrote:Does the timing matter when one pulls the levers at the raffles?.
I would say it's a Crossfire Urban Legend - I don't know if anyone has investigated this enough to say for sure though.

I have made LOT of tests on that.
I have tried bindig the keys and so on (try the funny effect of binding).
After some TONS of experiemnts I have discovered that there is a reason why speed seem to influence the thing so much.
By the distribution I have noticed perchentages DOES not result distribuited as expected.
(50% tissure, and 50% the rest of this rest 25% is 2nd prize and 25% the rest)
Based on the timings you pull the lever the engine look like that sometimes takes in condideration the possibility of the bivium of the ball or if it goes out of timing it drop the ball in the current prize slot. The philosopy of the joke result something like "The ball goes to next prize until it goes out of timing and the next gate start to go up to early to push the ball on, then the ball drops on the prize slot".
This is confimed by the fact that if you play the raffle many times you get a strange distrubution of prizes that look much more like total random than linear halved distribution. The reason of that fancy distribution is exacly the timing fo the lever pull (inductive criteria! timing MUST count, or there is a bug).
Nother fact is that i obtained ruthsack 5 times in a row... calculate the possibility and you see it's probably or the fisrt time it EVER happends in cf story or that the distribution is again NOT linear halved. I can draw a nice distribution as I see it, but will not look easy and cheap... since it's disctere distribution based on lever timings (so it will have s0ome cut offs.. if you pull the lever in some timing you CAN'T get some prizes!!!)
Here my experiemntal/teoretic theory
