Murine Usufruct System
"Technically, the EULA says all your 1337 1007 belongs to Blizzard Entertainment."
The Murine Clique uses a proprietary zero-sum item distribution system based on
Murine Usufruct Rating™ (MUR) and
Murine Usufruct Sufferance™ (MUS). Each mouse starts with a MUR of
1500™ and a MUS of
1™. MUR fluctuates according to loot distribution; MUS fluctuates according to the whims of the
Inner Circle™ bastards based on their (very subjective) estimation of your effectiveness (in fighting) and intelligence (in looting). Please direct all complaints about your MUS to Vincentine. He is always happy to lower your MUS for you.
Technical Details
- Bid for an item starts at a multiplier of 1. The MUR cost for winning the roll on an item is equal to the bid multiplier times the number of people in the raid.
- A raid member may raise the bid by 1 each time, to up to his MUS. Other members may match the bid up to their MUS whenever another member raises the bid.
- All high bidders roll 100. Each result is added to the member's MUR to determine the winner. Ties are rerolled amongst the tying members.
- The MUR cost is deducted from the winning member's MUR and distributed equally amongst the raid members, with the winning member's share going to the guild bank to be handed out as reward by the Inner Circle™ bastards.
- Each toon (as opposed to each player) has its own MUR and MUS. Transfering of MUR is not supported.
Looting Examples
A 10-man Karazhan raid with Moriquendi (MUR:1545 MUS:4), Yeddi (MUR:1447 MUS:2), and Lucielwind (MUR:1505 MUS:2) gets a Ring of a Thousand Marks. The bid opens at 1 and all three decide to bid.
Case 1: None of them decides to raise the bid. Moriquendi rolls a 3 (for a total of 1548); Yeddi rolls a 100 (for a total of 1547); Lucielwind rolls a 20 (for a total of 1525). Moriquendi wins the ring and gets -10 to his MUR (down to 1535). The guild bank gets 1 MUR and each member in the raid except Moriquendi gets 1 MUR.
Case 2: Yeddi decides to raise the bid multiplier to 2. Lucielwind decides to match the bid of 2; Moriquendi passes. Yeddi rolls a 99 (for a total of 1546); Lucielwind rolls a 10 (for a total of 1515). Yeddi wins the ring and gets -20 to his MUR (down to 1427). The guild bank gets 2 MUR and each member in the raid except Yeddi gets 2 MUR.
Case 3: Yeddi decides to raise the bid multiplier to 2. Lucielwind decides to match the bid of 2. Moriquendi decides to raise the bid multiplier to 3. Neither Yeddi nor Lucielwind has the MUS to match Moriquendi's bid. Moriquendi wins the ring and gets -30 to his MUR (down to 1515). The guild bank gets 3 MUR and each member in the raid except Moriquendi gets 3 MUR.
