I think fight scoring takes a long time whenever the combatants are evenly matched, whether they're green or seasoned. In my 'hoods I tend to foster lifelong enemies if I can find those matches, kinda like searching for soulmates in reverse, :D so I end up with a lot of 'couples' who have similar fight experience. With moarfight, they invariably roll wants to gain body points and have a re-match, whenever they lose. As a result, they tend to get better in tandem, even though they're played in separate households. Those lifelong enemies always have epic battles that go on into the wee hours, sometimes with one of them missing their carpool...
jolrei:
Additionally, running with antiredundancy loaded will limit the number of NPCs, including burglars (if I understand this correctly), so your burglar will become somewhat "experienced" as you go along. I had one hood where I killed off a policeman in generation two, and the game built a new one, but the burglar had been thieving and fighting since the first family moved into the hood. The burglar pretty much always PWNED the new rookie cop.
Process Denied:
I have been having the opposite thing happen. I have a townie( that I made for future use) that has won so many fights that her fights are about a second long. I didn't know that that was possible. I took control of her a few fights ago to count her bouts and the fight wasn't even one bout long and it ended with the " I'll stay out of your way speach". She has had 46 fights and she has won all of them. I don't want to use her now because her slate will be wiped clean and it is so enjoyable to watch her beat the crap out of the Count.

I think it might just be the RNG playing funny buggers, you get a dry season then suddenly you'll drown in burglaries. It's the same with twins, gender ect.. Of course, when you really want it to happen, it probably won't.
This is my second neighborhood in a row with very frequent burglaries. I play in rotation style (now at 7 houses + college) with a season as my time period. In this last rotation, I had three burglaries. The one before (with only 5 houses in play) had three as well. I'm also having a twins plague despite my odds being modded down to 8% and a boy plague (6 out of last 11 births were twins, all of last 7 children born are boys). RNG's stuck in a rut. Kind of sucks, because I've been trying to diversify last names.
GayJohnScarritt:
Is it normal, that if the cop wins (and family gets the reward), everyone gets a bad memory. But, if the burglar wins and gets away, no-one gets a bad memory? It doesn't make sense but that's how it is in my hoods.
