Mora, Just a lie ?

Post # 1
Hi. You know Mora ? It's the fortune teller of SoM.

I'm a programmer and today I was busy doing nothing and suddenly I was curious about how Mora works. So, I took a look at its source code, and you know what I found ? this:


function MorasAnswer() (
objPage=document.getElementById('morasays1');
objPage.style.visibility = 'hidden';
objPage=document.getElementById('morasays2');
objPage.style.visibility = 'hidden';
objPage=document.getElementById('morasays3');
objPage.style.visibility = 'hidden';
objPage=document.getElementById('morasays4');
objPage.style.visibility = 'hidden';
num=(Math.round(Math.random()*4)+1);
if (num>4) num=1;
objPage=document.getElementById('morasays'+num);
objPage.style.visibility = 'visible';
)


ANd you know what does this mean ? It means it uses Math.random() (JavaScript random number) to tell your fortune.

So, is it right to tell people's fortune by using random number ? Or it's just a lie ?

Everyone knows mora is a program.

Its a little game, nothing more, we are weel aware it will not tell the future. .

You'd have to be a bit daft to believe that Mora's predictions have actual basis. It is there for entertainment purposes rather than for actual divinatory use.

Mora, not a lie. A pleasant distraction. Being a computer program, I would expect it to be mathematical.

It says very clearly on the page for Mora that it is for "entertainment purposes only". It's like an 8-ball. It was never meant to accurately foretell anything.

although i KNOW this is a fake (entertainment) other people could EASILY be decieved as NOWHERE on that page does nit say it is for *entertainment* purposes so i am deff with amirmd76 on this one...

In fact i am a tad upset that it actually goes into great detail how ACCURATE MORA is and that it uses you DOB/name etc etc and that it is *programmed with sophisticated atrololigical coding etc etc*

IF we had to pay to use MORA this stie would be closed down due to legalities

so... in the above case could the admins PLEASE reword EVERYTHING on the MORA page?

Some people (disabled) etc could EASILY fall for this as truth... I myself have autism and i beleived in the 8 ball so much when i first got one that i almost killed myself when i found out it was a fake... PLEASE REWORD the page or REMOVE MORA so no one else will DO what i TRIED to do due to dissapointment?

It does in fact say for entertainment purposes. On every page on this site it says that at the very bottom on the page.
