Hi

Here what I been noticing about dc clone showing up. The last 3 times I
been in game with REALLY big soj have been on weekend nights after 10.
First time clone showed up REALLY fast like it started and I checked my
friends list and only misfit was on so I msg him in case he want to try
and get servor number and try to make other games on that sevrer cuz he
knows how to read what server he on but b4 I can finish typing to to
him clone appears and then misfit come to my game to help me kill him.
Then like very next game it happens again but clone dont come soon
even tho there alots of soj counts in row. So I wait a lil bit and kill
andy and ancient tunnels after I do pit> Afet like 30 minutes count
starts again a bunch of counts in a row and then no clone so I sit and
wait a bit longer and after bout an hour I get bored and go back to
magic hunting. Those 2 times were on sunday and this last time it was
sat a BIG soj count then no clone so I go to kill andy and after bout
like 30 minutes another count and this time clone comes.

So I am thinking that when ppl meet to try to make the clone come they
do it own weekends at night cuz that when it easier for ppl to meet
than on weekdays. So maybe that best time to try and wait for clone.
Just make a game and hope u picked right servor or since that time I do
magic hunting neways I just do that and hope maybe while Im doing it a
count starts. I think it also helps that I am not very good player so I
go slow. it take like 20 minutes to do a pit run with my sorc maybe 15
if it a VERY fast run for her and she dont see nething nice drop to
even sell so doesnt stop at all and finds the pit really fast and it a
small map so don take to long to kill all the monsters in the pit. So
since she magic hunting she will make lots of games and go on lots of
servors but since she do it kinda slow she makes lots of games but
spends 15-30 minutes each game so that give her a lil time to see if a
count is starting or not. PPl who are good players and magic hunt and
do Pindle games like 20 seconds or meph in like 3 minutes like zilth or
alice could do will do lots more game but they dont really stay in ne
game long enuff to give chance to see if soj count starts.

So maybe that best time to look for clone and I dont know if best way
to be is to play a lot of short games like 20 -30 minutes in one game
than make new game or not but that is just how I play neways when I am
magic hunting by myself and not questing. Maybe there another way to
see the counts more but I dont know how and I could be all wrong neways
about weekend nights after 10 being best time it is just always been
the times I see soj counts so all this is totally me making guesses
from what I have seen when soj counts start and clone comes in games I
been in.

I see the point now. Thanks for the detail explanation.

I also believe that not all soj counts are from actual selling. By the way,
this is the most stupid way of trying to get rid of duped sojs by Blizzard.
Blizzard can't prevent soj duping in the first place, and all the
corrections she introduced actually favour duper/hacker.
