Different mouse populations for different players?

I watched my brother go on a hunt earlier and I noticed something interesting - his mouse populations at the Year of the Dragon Festival were different from mine! I had him try a few different setups, and by checking the trap effectiveness here's what he was able to attract:

No Charm - White, Grey, Brown, Cowardly, Field, Present, Dwarf, Red Envelope, Calligraphy (with SB+)
Firecracker charm - Field, Present, Dwarf, New Years, Red Envelope, Costumed Tiger, Calligraphy (with SB+)
Nitropop - Partyhead, New Years, Red Envelope, Costumed Rabbit, Calligraphy (with SB+)

My brother is currently ranked Hero, but he's never traveled past the Catacombs and has spent minimal time in Furoma. So this has me wondering: do hunter's of different ranks encounter different mouse populations at the Year of the Dragon Festival? Or does something different influence this? Either way, I feel we should look into this more. —MearsMan talk 23:27, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

That's interesting. We need some collaboration, maybe ask in the forums if the newer players would be willing to check. -- camomiletea 00:00, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
