The last couple BM's (since may, 5 BM's IIRC) ended with prolonging the season. Assuming 50/50 as you wrote, the chance for it is like 1/32, thus not much. Looks like a bug.

It's 50/50. Runs are fairly common in statistics.

Looks like the Salem community needs to learn their statistics.

You clearly didn't read about these.
Can you point out a single instance when it did not extend the season ?
Also, see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=18024 it was also supposed to be 50/50.

That was a case of copy/pasting code. The reduction probability was applying to the wrong thing because John missed one field when editing.

That's what I mean. Mistakes can happen in any code.
If you have history of seasons, just find this one, possibly most recent, instance when the season changed after BM.
I am just saying the run of 5 events is fishy. Add another 3 in series and it will stink as hell.

He already checked this last time there was a run, but what I'm trying to tell you is that it's a completely different circumstance since there was no copy/paste for this.

Yes some times ago an Everbloom followed a Bloodmoon.
