C9++ question

C9++ is a semi-open setup that's generated with a described algorithm. There is, however, a minor ambiguity with how it's described on the wiki.

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=C9%2B%2B
Powerroles are inserted into the setup depending on how many of each letter are generated. For example, when looking at the "C" list, look at how many Cs you received. If you get no Cs, do not add any roles from the C list (exception: "T" list has a set of roles to be added if 0 Ts are generated). If you get three Cs, look at where it says CCC and add the corresponding powerroles into the game. In this case, add a Cop and a 1-Shot Cop.
The maximum number of the same letter you can generate is 7. But only the "T" list describes what to do when you get 7 of them. All of the others stop at 4, 5 or 6.
C = 1-Shot Cop

CC = Cop

CCC = Cop, 1-Shot Cop

CCCC = 2 Cops

CCCCC = 2 Cops, 1-Shot Cop

CCCCCC = 3 Cops
What would you do as a mod if you were in a situation like this? Would you default to the largest set that's included in the list? Continue the obvious pattern up to 7? Or reroll the setup entirely?

Ok, I did the math.

Game with...# in 12800000001 in ##%
7 "C"s21875852770.00017
6 "D"s80641587300.00063
7 "D"s128100000000.00001
6 "V"s80641587300.00063
7 "V"s128100000000.00001
6 "M"s80641587300.00063
7 "M"s128100000000.00001
5 "B"s75811688430.00059
6 "B"s13396240600.00001
7 "B"s112800000000.00000
Total34478371250.00269

So the chances of getting any of the undescribed games is about 1 in 37125, or 0.0027%.

Yeah, I'd rather hunt for shiny Pokémon.
