Java The imposter percentages are fake

[Maaarijn]

Heyo!


This is not really a suggestion but I noticed it and I didn't think it was a good idea to create a bug report for it.

What I wanna say is that the percentage of your chance to become imposter at the start of an among slimes game is wrong sometimes. Imagine the following situation: the game will start when there are 5 players, meaning there will be 1 imposter. 4 of the 5 players have a 20% chance of getting imposter, as they have never left a game before. The other player has a chance of 5% of becoming the imposter. If we add this up we get a total of 85% (20 x 4 + 5). This is not 100%, so in my eyes this is not true. Shouldn't the chances of the other players be 23,75%?
I tried applying the same maths for a game with 10 players and 2 imposters, but I'm not sure if it works the same there. Because there are multiple imposters it could be that the total is less than 200%. But still, if one player has less chance of becoming an imposter, shouldn't the rest get a higher chance?
If you're good at maths please help me with this xd


Anyway, I think this is displayed wrong so it should be fixed!

The chance doesn't have to be 100% if counted up. The chances are personal and simply display how many games you have to play (with the same chance) on average to get the imposter at least once.
In fact, the chances for each player when the game starts will become 0% for all players that are not imposter, and those who are get a 100% chance. (So, it will be correct at the end)

Ah okay I understand it. Thanks for explaining!
