Bait Preference

Is there a bait preference for this? I saw someone with 6 Shelders and 8 Bottled Mice, but the overall numbers for Shelder are much much lower in comparison to Bottled (I have 9 Bottled and 0 Shelder). So was this one guy just insanely lucky, is there some special strategy to catching Shelders, or was the chance of catching a Shelder significantly higher when SSH2 was first released? I'm guessing the former, but if it is the middle option, I'd love to know the strategy. --Dreamwalker 15:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Why don't you ask the person directly? At the very least, a link to the hunter profile would be nice. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 16:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Well, I had to do something in the real world and didn't think to bookmark the page or anything at the time. But I asked in the forums, and it appears it is just luck... not the stat, but the actual thing. =P Oh well. I could hope. --Dreamwalker 00:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Just checking for opinions on this, results to our survey have shown a higher population of Shelders with Gouda, we're at 97.68% confidence compared to Brie on this since we started the database in September, and 98.32% confidence if I include the results we received before that, do people think this is good enough for a bait preference to be added? -- Twentypence 12:17, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

The developers did mention that there was a hidden use to Gouda. However it was mentioned as a mainland use, so it is a little hard to say either ways, but if you're confident of the data then why not. Do update the Gouda row in Cheese#Gouda if you do add it in as a preferred cheese for Shelder to keep things consistent. -- Grexx 17:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
I've added it now to the Shelder, and the Mermaid (which has a much higher confidence), I've added a line in Cheese#Gouda, but please feel free to edit for grammatical consistency. -- Twentypence 08:33, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
See this link in the Forum Post 13 which suggests that SB+ works better than Gouda. -- Ralphminer 20:01, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

If this is the conclusion, I think there is no need for a lengthy explanation why Gouda is not preferred. Simply remove the preference indication and leave that discussion here on the Talk page for anyone who wants to investigate further. --Hyperchao 17:06, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
