These are getting too numerous to mention--but mnext rday --repeat of same one0-sided rolling

Opponents get two sets of douebls while I roll lots of ones--are these weighted to even out raytings???

All dice rolls are 100% random. Please see FAQ for more information.

@ZooEscape

You periodically feel obliged to point out that FAQ, but such a blanket statement will never convince the doubters.

I think sceptics could instead be convinced with some stats from the games played here. It might also make interesting reading for others too.

e.g.

1. What percentage of the total rolls on ZooEscape have been doubles?
2. How many of those are 6-6?
3. How evenly are doubles distributed throughout all the games played here?
4. Highest number of doubles in a single game?

...and so on and so forth.

For those few who feel strongly that we would take the time to manipulate the dice will likely feel that the data we present to the contrary is also manipulated. Much time/money/resources have been devoted to addressing this concern for those few. We believe that the overwhelming majority of players on our site would rather we dedicated our time/money/resources to implementing features and making improvements. However, for those who are interested in numbers and stats, like us, the following table shows the distribution of dice rolls from all of the games we currently have in our database. Note that this table answers the first three of your questions. If you are still interested in the fourth question, please add it to the Features & Improvements thread.
