These Dice, These Dice...

...are absolutely fine (or so we will find out...)! (And you thought you'd have to lock this thread, eh, mods? ) The point of this thread is not to bash all those who dislike the dice, it is an experiment I'm starting up. I am going to record in this post all of my rolls each day, then calculate the probabilities to see if the dice are indeed unfair, or if the supposedly unfair instances are blown out of proportion. Feel free to do the same, anyone who wants to, but I would sincerely like to keep this thread clean of anti-dice or unrelated posts and comments. I want to keep this as strictly unbiased/objective as possible. I will be starting my records tomorrow (when I take my next turns).

There's a dice analyzer for that, you realize.

[Victor Sullivan]

Yes, actually. But I feel hard evidence is what these people need, so I do this.

And that's fine. I just don't think the sample size will be meaningful until a couple of years have passed, so...

The only serious complaint made is that the current intensity cubes are more "streaky" than real live dice.


I assume you will be analyzing the "streakiness" of your dice?

he could probably just eat more bran to take care of that problem... or wear darker under garments..-the black jesus

Alright, I have some data in an Excel file. I'll post it when I have a substantial amount of data.

Just use the dice-analyzer. It will be a lot easier, and you don't even have to remember to record your rolls.

Yeah, but the inevitability of human error means that data recorded in a notebook can only be trusted as much as you want to. The dice-analyzer script would proBably be better in the name of science.

Until you realize that it was programmed by a mod who is in lack's pocket to make it seem that the dice intensity cubes are indeed random...

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

I'm all for sully doing it the hard way. The harder he works the more beautiful his results will be. Beauty being truth, the results will give us much more insight than the dice analyzer could.
