bad rolls: contd

[Gan]

I seem to have some interesting luck with repetetive rolls.

I'm already on record for rolling a 1 three times. This is the closest I've come again to hitting the tri-fecta again.

Was trying to see if a rescue was in the area so I could fog to it...

1. Those odds aren't even that high.

2. Staree is fun to mess with, what city were you in Gan?

[Gan]

Landing.

let me see if I can find my tri fecta roll.

[Gan]

It was three 3's. Not 1's like I thought I remembered...


I know this has been discussed before, but THIS SUCKS!!!

I have noticed that off and on, that low rolls are conveniently positioned when I most need high rolls and vice versa. I would just pass this due to I'm noticing these rolls the most...but it doesn't seem that way after 12 years of playing. It's wierd. Has anyone done any testing of "Simu's dice"?

[Stunseed]

It's a conspiracy!

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Has anyone done any testing of "Simu's dice"?>>

Yeah. Thousands of rolls were tested on the same character and the average was very very close to 50.5.

[Drew]

Oddly enough I tracked all combat rolls over a period of about 5 months, and the average was about 50.1.

SIMU IS TRYING TO HELP US DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOWN WITH THE GMS!!You should learn how statistics work.

[Bobmuhthol]

The ability to average two numbers isn't much of a statistics topic.

[Drew]

You should learn how statistics work.

You should learn how sarcasm works.

[Bobmuhthol]

The problem is that your sarcasm was inaccurate in context... 50.1 is actually a lower average than it should be.

Min roll: 1
Max roll: 100
Avg roll: (1 + 100) / 2 = 50.5

Min roll: 1

This is true, but remember an exact 100 is a miss/failure.

[Methais]

Rolling a 100 should do double damage imo.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<This is true, but remember an exact 100 is a miss/failure.>>

I'm pretty sure every 100 roll I've ever gotten ever in my entire life has been the complete opposite of a failure (in terms of d100).

Fair enough, guess I should learn how statistics work.

We're talking about the d100 roll, not the result.
