Of course, because it involves a list of numbers. You do realize that a computer itself is incapable of coming up with a true random number, right? It's always going to be pseudo-random if a computer is involved in the generation of the "random" number, so this list-method is just as effective.

ok, i have noticed my dice going bad in all my games. my most recent turn i lost 13v2 without killing a man on barbarian castle in game number 7784743. I dont know what the odds of it happening, but I predict at some other point in this game something similarly "random" will happen to my dice. we will see.

No. It's truly random. There have been other threads where this has been established. A pseudo-random process choosing a random process still results in a random process overall, since at least one part of the process is theoretically unpredictable.

I believe the dice are random now, regardless, I liked the old system better.

Stop manipulating the random CC. AGAIN I got close to 2900 and AGAIN it all is shit. Pretty fucking obvious.

You're losing it? The dice seem to be pretty random, but are a big pile shit none the less.
