why is the wheel random

[obama]

im doing hanged man
in the dumb drinking challenge the wheel spins at the same speed but then when i stop it sometimes it stops instantly and other times it keeps going more or less

The delay on the wheel stopping is a function of its speed. Faster wheels are more slippery.

did you even read my post
it moved with the same speed every time but one time it stopped on the card i stopped it on and other times it kept going a variable distance

[Ratt]

My mistake, sorry. You're probably either lagging a bit or imagining it. Wheels are hard to do consistently, though.

[obama]

neither of those

Any chance you could get a video that demonstrates this?

Stopping is meant to take a consistent amount of time regardless of how fast or slow the wheel is spinning or how large the wheel is. It's not specifically meant to stop on the card at the bottom of the screen when you click.

i doubt i can
but im sure that at least once the wheel just stopped instantly on the card it was on despite moving fast

Yeah, that doesn't sound normal. There are blessing and equipment cards that affect the wheel, but off the top of my head, nothing that gives and instant stop.

I also noticed this issue and made a recording. It seems to only occur during the Hanged Man drinking contests. It occured with and without the Felvin's Favor helmet I have in the recording.

yep thats the exact thing that happened to me

I also think it sometimes keeps going, but it doesnt go as far as it should, stops earlier
I dont remember such things happening outside hanged man though

Interesting answer to this one, actually: in the drinking game, there's a degree of randomness introduced to the stop - you're getting drunk, you see.

[obama]

i expected that
thats stupid whats even the point then

So for this event, you either do one really simple precision gambit, or like 5 wheel gambits where you can't even predict how fast the wheel will stop. That seems very odd.

i hate precision minigame but id take it over 5 random wheels any moment
