Dice

[jeep]

Hello all,

There is now a dice mod:

[ dice ] xdy [ /dice ]

Will roll a Y sided die, X times.

Original Roll String: 2d6 (STATIC)

2 6-Sided Dice: (4, 3) = 7

[jeep]

If you edit the post, you get the "Fixed" tag there to indicate that there may be some cheating involved...

broke it! :P

[Night Stalker]

Wanna play with this...

Original Roll String: 5d18

5 18-Sided Dice: (9, 2, 3, 9, 3) = 26

[Save The Dragons]

Original Roll String: 10d2

10 2-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1) = 15

I think we need a dice rolling thread.

Wow. I didn't even touch the dice (I did edit my post though) and it said I fixed them. That could cause a problem...

Bah, I'll stop playing with it.

[jeep]

Nod, if you edit the post it says fixed... unless you break it. So I guess we need to enforce no editting in those topics...

I feel like it should be emphasized that these are not verified random anyway. You can do an xdy, preview the post, and if you don't like what you rolled, just preview again, and you get a different result. So this should be viewed as a tool for people who don't want to go to random.org or for mods trying to distribute roles, and not proof that your random vote really was random.

Okay, mathcam's preview trick doesn't work. It looks like it doesn't fix the result until you make the post, if you preview it re-rolls before you make the post.

So it should be safe as long as you can't edit the post afterwards.

[jeep]

This should be as close to true random as you can get. (at least, no one should be able to predict it and the probability should be correct.)

Accounting Troll: And over here we have a random number generator
Troll: Nine Nine Nine Nine Nine Nine
Dilbert: Are you sure that's random?
Accounting Troll: That's the problem with randomness. You can never be sure.

[mathcam]

I'm not claiming that the random number generator is flawed: I'm claiming that I can change what number comes up. Okay, so my trick before didn't work. But certainly leaving the page, coming back, and previewing a different time would generate a different "fixed" result, right?
