99% shot hivemind is slathar based upon my advanced textual interpretation skills
also dont need variance just need common sim repops with timer resets thanks

I'm flattered that people keep comparing (or supposing(?)) I am one of a host of people with professed mental disorders requiring medication. But seriously, you think I am funny or something? The flattery has gone too far.
Also, simulated repops are a terrible idea. Quoting myself since I'm not going to retype:

In general, I think it is a bad idea for the GM's to put into place some mechanism that they have to constantly and mechanically iterate in order to help bring some better sense of balance to the server. I am referring to simulated repops... People have already complained, over and over and over again that it has been X days since last repop, and that they understand GMs and/or Rogean are busy. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to try to balance things out with a mechanical process like this?
If you didn't realize or otherwise don't have a clue, adding more rules or adding more mechanical inputs for the GMs to deal with is not actually a good thing. Look at blue compared to red, all the bullshit petitions that they have to deal with because neckbeards can't work out pixels amongst themselves. You give them the opportunity to kill each other (ie work things out amongst themselves) and all of a sudden you don't have to expend hours upon hours scouring petition after petition trying to make all parties happy.
The GENERAL idea is that the less time GMs/Rogean have to spend trying to babysit this server... and the more that they can implement code or automatic processes (ie "Variance", the title of this post), the more time they can spend elsewhere improving the quality of these two servers.
Let me reiterate once more that the idea of having manually simulated repops is a terrible, terrible idea. Not only is it not a true analog to variance, it requires all this additional work on the GM/staff side that ultimately only results in people QQing and asking for more frequent repops (and pixels).

You might realize that you are one of the many people that I am referring to in the last bit of quoted (blue) text. Sim repops only results in people asking for more and more of them which is inherently problematic since they require staff implementation, as well as a myriad of other reasons that I'm honestly not even interested in going into.
