Should I create a zipfian distribution bot?

Yes

Like @FairlyRandom, but for random numbers sampled from a zipfian distribution. This could be used to generate some fun markets and resolution criteria.

Examples:

- Will a random number >= X be drawn?

- Will X be randomly drawn >= K times?

The API would look something like:

@zipfian 1000
@zipfian max=1000 exponent=1.03

You would need an extremely good rep for it to be used though.

Gaussian, Poisson, or binomial could be useful too.
