    The success chance of fishing diminishes (~4.5%) at the target location and the immediate vicinity with each cast, to optimise your chances of catching a fish it's best to cast at a sufficient distance from the previous spot that you don't incur this loss.

    Lava fishing success chance is considerably less than the salt, fresh and fetid waters. When fully buffed and fishing in lava I max at 61.7% success chance.

    With the introduction of lava pools town governors should use this information to inform their placement to maximise anglers success (assuming there is sufficient space). Placing two pools side by side along their length will result in the area of diminishing success to overlap and effectively waste the benefits of having the extra pool.

    Zeke, Thanks for running this contest in Blackrock Cove! It is very generous!

    I returned the 1M gold via in-game mail to you. I cannot make the gold/prize transfers for you since it is your contest. You can reach the winning player, maybe get a screenshot of his winning fish with that new in-game chat link system that came out in R101, and share it. That would be cool!​

    Everyone: I am validating the R100 Contests' winning information this morning. I do this manually with additional data queries to ensure there were no programming or data errors. Thanks for your patience!

    R101 contest is Live, and I will change the /sotawiki FishT command soon too.

    Contest Status board "Edge Case" - an anonymous name appears more than once in the same contest category.

    https://sotawiki.net/sota/User:Winston/Fishing_Tournament_Status_R102

    It is possible for the same anonymous name, e.g., Dinner Chair, to appear more than once in the same category, e.g., NPC Town.

    It is an edge case (the result of an input value that was unexpected during the time of program design that now requires special handling in the algorithm). Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_case

    I consider this edge case trivial at this point since I can see the data behind the public data and know why it is happening. It does not affect contest results.

    I will adjust the status board algorithm in the future to handle this edge case in R103 or R104.

    Do not fear! Winston's data is here!

    Thanks for the info!

    I'll have a look at their scene bulletin boards for more clues. There may be some stewards or frequent house owners too. It's like a quest!
