James13 said: Word of the day: Apophenia.The (natural) tendency to interpret meaning in random data or statistical noise.We're all hard wired to try to interpret/predict trends.It can be a little confounded here considering the lack of cascades tends not to have as much staying power in memory as not much happened that event.As you suggest, perhaps it seems like a change due to the impact you feel. But I don't think cascading of falling gems has ever been anything but random still, and certainly not biased toward particular turns.
