Why is the SRo AC implemented as a fixed spawn chance at 9pm?

Both are true. There is a placeholder; at 9pm, it depops (if it's up) and there's a 10% chance for AC to pop and 90% chance of other stuff to pop.

There's no point killing the placeholder because it will depop at 9pm, but it's fine if you kill it because it will repop at 9pm regardless.

Hmm

"There's one spawn in South Ro with a 30.66666666 minute repop time that has a 10% chance of being the ancient cyclops, but he has to spawn at night. He's on the same spawn table with a_desert_madman, a_dervish_cutthroat, a_sand_giant, and a_mummy.
