Title Banner symbol selection algorithm parameter
Status Open
Handling member Deleted
Addon banners
Description Add a BANNER symbol parameter that lets you set the selection algorithm:
- importance_bias_random (the current system, picks a random banner, but biased to the ones with highest importance)
- importance_bias_rotation (tracks movement through a queue, with the hits spent on each proportional to the importance bias)
- precedence (finds all banners of highest importance then picks a random one of them)
- Or, the name of an actual specific banner

'precedence' is useful if you need to force priorities through, especially when combined with #1883.
'importance_bias_rotation' is preferred by some due to the predictability, especially when caching is involved.
