Footy Gods

Australian rules football fans often invoke the name of a nebulous pantheon of footy gods to refer to the tendency for the game to deliver justice for those who have wronged the spirit of the sport. So it is with Mr Football that it has its own divine influence, though in this case is it more like the ironclad rules of probability and reversion to the mean.

Outcomes of matches and journeys are achieved through a random seed that is generated by the Mr Football server. It is not possible to hack the game to change the result, as the code plays out on the server the same way as it should on your mobile, and all changes to your status are sent by the server to update locally. The Footy Gods may be fickle at times, but they are omnipotent.

Specifically, there are two main ways of resolving random choices: dice rolls of four six-sided dice, and raffles involving a number of tickets drawn out of a virtual hat.
