[suggs]

dice analyzer utility for greasemonkey

Hmm. I bumped this for a joke, but obviously this has piqued at least one person's interest in the dice analyzer. Having a picture of it seems to be a good advertisement for it.

Maybe if this thread was kept alive, there'd be fewer complaints about the dice, as more people would get the analyzer, and be less inclined to complain when they see their results.

'Course, I'm probably underestimating the ability of people to find cause for complaint, no matter how obscure and wacky...

I had been hoping my 3v2 distribution would get closer to normal distribution as I play more games and the law of large numbers come into play, but it's actually been slowly moving away from ideal stats. Ie. In 3v2 lately I've been taking a hammering.

Just having a whinge.

Anybody else have worse dice than that for that amount of dice thrown?

[Soujiro]

Not really worse, but that doesn't make it anyway good either. I haven't thrown as much as you have either. :p

[borox0]

uhh, whats the point?

[1afay3tt3]

although many people already have the ideal percentages for the dice, does anyone know how to calculate these statistics? i'm one of those people who can't accept knowing an answer without also knowing how to come up with that answer.
