I haven't gotten a HAT test in... well, I think it's been at least a week now. Since I'm fairly new to Yarold's I haven't really figured out how often the tests show up. Before, I was getting about one a day or every other day and then they disappeared. I have HAT turned on, and I click every link I possibly can a day and always check on them (clicking Doorgaan and all that) yet still... no links. Is this normal? All the FAQ says is that it's random. O__o;; I'd really like to have a care rating instead of just the >10. Thanks in advance. Tsai - Tue Feb 10, 2009 9:50 am HAT's appear completely random, so yes, it is possible not to get one for several days. It also depends on how much you click. If you don't click a lot, the chance of getting one will be less also. I still get approximately 1 or 2 a day, but have had a few days without one too. Fabby - Wed Feb 11, 2009 1:21 am How much is "a lot?" I click about 100 links a day. Is that... not enough? thepossum1 - Wed Feb 11, 2009 7:49 am Who's to say what is "enough"? The more you click, the more likely you will see a HAT. But also, the more you click, the less likely it is you'll run out of credits. Click everything you see, refresh the page & look again. Some links are set to show only 24 hours after you last clicked them, some are available daily meaning you may see them at any time. Minicity links do not trigger a HAT, only links that require extra action--such as Whimpster, Dragon Cave, some Valenth, others that aren't coming to me right now. So, the more of those you click, the more likely you will trigger a HAT. I've noticed that there is no telling when you might see them--I've gotten several in one clicking session, then may go days without seeing any. Happy Clicking 
Tsai - Wed Feb 11, 2009 7:52 am 100 links is not much if you compare them to the 600 links or more that are clicked each day by most members at Yarolds... MUSHpark - Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:17 am
I generally see one HAT for about every 200 links... but I have gone a few days (probably 1500 links) between HATs on occasion, and had them appear after only 10 links sometimes. It's all random! Patone - Wed Feb 11, 2009 7:44 pm I click 700 a day and get usually 1 or 2 HAT's. But once I clicked about 6000 in several days without getting any HAT's. Yes, HAT is pseudorandom.
