Feature - Rejected Show which boss is up in Dreadsylvanian logs

[QVamp]

I didn't notice this posted yet...

When looking at the Dreadsylvanian logs, it would be nice to have an indication of which of the two bosses will be coming up. Summing all of the counts for each monster type *seems* to indicate which boss will show up. That is, in the summing up all numbers in (# turns/turn) that have the word 'werewolf' in it vs all that have the word 'bugbear' in it should indicate which boss you get.

This way we could plan for the boss without having to waste a turn figuring out which boss we're planning for.

1) That heuristic is not correct.
2) "Show" how? In what way is this a KoLmafia Feature Request, rather than, say, one for bordemstir's raidlog script?

It's definitely a request for the raidlog script.

And as Veracity says, your heuristic is not correct. It is all about monster predominance and has nothing at all to do with kill count. Whichever monster is more likely to appear will be your boss. If the encounter rates are equal, the chance is 50%. This is true even if you do all your monster banishing when there is only a single monster left in the zone.

That would be kinda tricky for bordemstirs to implement with much assurance.

With 2 banishes of one type, boss is the other type.
With 0 banishes of each type, boss is pretty certainly the one you've encountered most of.

Pretty much anything else is unpredictable without knowing when the banish happened, which you don't. Fortunately the above situations cover most actual dungeon instances.
