I need to run a test comparing the missed note frequency
during normal play and right after a missed note. My
subjective feeling is that there's a much higher chance of
getting a second missed note right after you've already missed
one. The random number generator really does seem to be
screwy that way. We got two 2h-mithril swords off successive
king spawns (i.e. no placeholder in between), and the next day
we got 2 ghoulbanes of successive shin lord spawns (that one
was at 4am and I specifically asked everyone to stick around
just in case the RNG burped, which it did).
