It's true, the distribution of MVP is not random. I read the FAQ and if you have a player called 'Orgg'. Half of the MVP is for him.
It's a bug from Java. So until they resolve this problem, DO NOT CALL YOUR PLAYER 'Orgg', that's cheating ...

I got one ork who has recieved about a quarter of the teams (11 players on the roster) total MVP's. Trouble is, he's the spare lino and harldy ever takes the field. Seriously, he's had 3 mvp's in games he never made the pitch in |

randomness means that everything can happen. it would look much less random to me if everyone in a 11-player team had a MVP after 11 games. |

That's a bet I wouldn't take, if anyone is that evil, it's Grum... Altho he has a point, the random things in the client is as random as it get, that goes for ALL the features in the client that is made with a dice... |

What is this? A bug? It schould not have anything to say whenever you name your player Orgg or not? That could never have been a bug, it would have had to have been implemented on pourpose.
Has this topic really been up some many times before?
It just seems very odd to me. The chance of this "randomly" happening is very small. The player has 1/11 chance the fist time of recieving a MVP, but the next time the chance is (1/11)*(1/11), its already a disapperingly small chance. |

after the first time he gets the mvp the chance is still 1/11 |

pfeu that "random" generator is not random. Why do my stunty team suffer so many casualties andd my dwarves so few. It's broken.
Did you know(serious thing here): random generators aren't random at all but do emulate randomness really well. |

I'd simply be happy if my dead player stopped getting MVP. Would it be possible to somehow remove him from consideration when the comp picks MVP for the game? |

the chance of a player getting a MVP on a 11 player is not 1/11 the second time.
Its like if you roll an 11 sided die, the chance of rolling 11 two times in a row is (1/11)*(1/11) |
