Well, I don't know what code the forum runs off of, now do I? P:

Yes. With these: I don't really know what I was expecting to happen there. It would have been impressive, though - especially at odds of under 0.3% I hate this game now. I could go through, count up the number of die rolls, and shove it in a Poisson distribution, to see if we're unlucky or just following the odds at the moment. But I'm not quite that bored. [dice=1337] [dice=1337] EDIT: Just a thought - it is possible to get a 1337 from a 1337-sided die, yes? They haven't put a 0 on it or something daft like that, have they?[rand=63958783983032797977155791076519199577061332590346009152210076427] |

Time to end this! Come on.... EDIT: NOO!! Will this never end?!!?!? Yes. With these: I don't really know what I was expecting to happen there. It would have been impressive, though - especially at odds of under 0.3% I'm trying to remember from my stats course (which I took well over a year ago) if we can add cumulative properties to these odds or not...

Well, I don't know what code the forum runs off of, now do I? P: Standard proboards code. It takes nothing to set up a forum and play with it, or click "view source" and see what's all there... And visit the Proboards Code Database for all other such issues... |

I've seen 6s rolled on d6 for this hack, so yeah it's possible. |

One last try because I am bored.

I don't think we need to fix or improve that code, here in the NTWF. What would people exploit it for? Would it really be worth it? I don't think so...

I've seen 6s rolled on d6 for this hack, so yeah it's possible. I just wanted to make sure. Otherwise, it would be a slightly ironic twist in the whole tale - we'd all be not quite as leet as we were hoping.

And what about the dice code? Any idea how it's processed? Or the language it's in? |

Clocky, don't forget to announce Ginz's winnings in your RCP post, since you were the fourth player. =D XD; Maybe it has something to do with Mac/Safari? You do use Safari, right? Yep. xD That seems like the only likely explanation, although I still don't know what would stop it from displaying properly on other browsers. Interesting. I'm going to go find some lunch, now. See you later, 'bloids. I dunno. XDDD;; I guess it's kinda like how some things work on IE but nothing else? *shrug* And bai Tamia! |

Someone could take the rand tag from a post that got a really high roll, put it on theirs, and get a higher roll, as well.
Then again, I could be completely wrong. xD |

I shall keep silent at this point and rearrange this code on the die. Standard proboards code. It takes nothing to set up a forum and play with it, or click "view source" and see what's all there... And visit the Proboards Code Database for all other such issues...
And what about the dice code? Any idea how it's processed? Or the language it's in?I merely grabbed it and plugged it in. Didn't really bother looking at it indepth as I was more concerned about trying to memorize the 7 guiding principles of Islamic Economics or the 5 causes for falling output in the transitional economies left by the Soviet Union... But I bet you could find out if you explored that link I gave you. Check the code index for the dice hack and have at it. |
