The dice are recorded in a file on your PC. So your desktop will have a separate file than your laptop.
The dice recorded are from the turns you have taken on that PC.

So if you are running 2 scripts on 2 computers, you will have different data on both as you are taking different turns on both.


Right, I understood that, that's why I was telling you it wasn't every turn and why I have more attacks that defense (not running the script on laptop)

Totally my bad - too used to everyone only posting when complaining so managed to read your first line as a complaint when it was only info.

Sorry!

No worries chip. Trust me, I appreciate all that you do far to much to complain, anything I do will be for information only :D

Okay, you say I complain too much, but lets see... where should I begin?

To get four dice get the same number in a row (any of them) is a one-in-215 four-dice-throw chance

The sample have 231 dice (lets say about 57 groups of four dice).

Line 1, four twos in a row
LInes 5 and 6, four fours in a row
Line 8, FIVE sixes in a row
Line 8 and 9 FIVE fives in a row

So, something that should occour once every 215 four-dice-throws happened FOUR times in a 57 four-dice-throws - thats about 6% occourence of an event that have a mere ZERO POINT FIVE percent chance of happening.

While this does not prove the dice "are not random" they surely are something to be investigated.

note that I am not complaining about battle results, I am simply checking out a serie of data and realizing things that were not expected to have occoured once evry five of such samples occoured FOUR times on a single one.

FOUR arrangements of 4-of-a-kind are to be expected to be seen on samples of 1.155 4-dice throws, and yet here we see it on 57 of such

Not to mention two of them were a FIVE in a row - chance for any five of a kind - once in 1295 throws

So, anyone care about it?

awesome tool.

but before anyone goes complaining the dices are streaky when one of their games has streakiness, i´d like to add that reviewing game data is only usefull if you add the data of all other games too.

if 1 in 3 appears streaky thats a whole different thing then if 1 in 50 appears streaky, yet if you only post games in which you had weird streaks, it´ll appear to be wrong.

that said, great idea, awesome!

Even if that 1 in 50 shows things that should only occour once in 1.000 times?

This excuse that "all data must be gathered, no matter the individual anomalies" to me almost sound like no one care to really look at those anomalies because they know about them and dont care.

Quit complaining. If you know anything about statistics then you would know there is nothing to be shown from 57 dice throws. When you have a sample size of a million plus and your numbers are still around 6% when they should be 0.5%, then you might actually have a case, until then, go read a book about statistics.

Random dice with a 0.5% chance of something happening does not mean that it will happen 0.5% of the time in every sample. In fact, it has a greater than 90% chance of not even really being close to 0.5% in the sample size you are talking about.

Hey chip, great script.

A quick question, I saw in the first post you say something about it recording defensive dice and then in later posts it said something about it only recording turns you take with that computer. Does it record defensive dice when I am not there during another players turn? Or does it only record my dice throws from my turns?

It is only able to record dice from your turns.

yeah, right. So it is a valid argument that you should expect to hit a jackpot everytime you enter a cassino, just because millions of bets are being made there every day?

To me, it would be much more likely to say: you might SEE a few jackpots with a few people if you stay on the cassino long enough. But if you play only once or twice, odds arer YOU wont get any jackpot yourself, no matter how much OTHER people roll.

Here, you say that because OTHER people roll a lot, YOU should get a lot of anomalies.

5 3x1 losses in a row.

Probability - less than one in 500

Not to mention the twelve (in twenty-five) 3x1 losses that round.

As I say - it is not the average that is the main problem, the main problem is those streaks - they happen on a daily basis...

Lol. It is possible to win 2 jackpots in a casino back to back. I've done it. That doesn't mean that the machines or the system is screwed up. I've seen people win on their first pull and I've seen people never win anything in days. IT"S RANDOM!!!

I haven't used a streak analyzer but I can tell you that my attacking dice have been the sorriest collection of 1s, 2s and 3s in game play over the last couple of days. It really has me reconsidering continuing to play this site. :-k

your numbers seem normal to me. 18 rolls is not a decent sample thought. In the other hand, you seem to be right about the 3v1 lossing. It seems to be a curse for everyone.

Try to put the information with at least 100 rolls, and then we can analyze tendencies.

RADAGA - Please post any comments about the dice in this thread

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=114413

The current thread that you are pretty much in danger of spamming is about the tool that is helping you analyze your dice.

C.

PS - Chip - is there a way to verify that a user hasn't manually changed their Dice to "prove" a theory?

Okay, now when there IS a tool to show sometimes there are a streakness, and this tool begins to uncover it, you accuse someone of having the trouble to change a script to prove a theory?

Now, that´s either paranoy or denial, imo.

There is no need to tamper the script, one can photoshop the screenshot. But why have this trouble? To create a war where there should be none? I post the things i find not to cause hassle, but to try to show a perceived flaw, in hope it can be fixed, someday.

To spend hours editting each and every screenshot (not to mention making the calculations to tamper it "right" and make ends meet) just to make a point where there should be none woud be sick.

Not to mention I DO have better (and worse:work) things to do with my time.

Me [SIC] paranoy? - I was asking someone else a question.

Once again - please take your Dice Streaks comments to the indicated thread - this thread is about the script itself - and not the results.

One question: Does the script count 2-0 win, 2-0 win, 1-1 draw, 2-0 win as 7 consecutive troops defeated? I'd guess he should treat it as 2 streaks (though it's unclear how a script should do that exactly).

In your example 7 troops have been killed with consecutive dice rolls so yes it counts as 7 consecutive troops defeated.

It's easy to treat this as 2 streaks but I don't think that is intuitive. The objective is to see how consecutive dice rolls fare.
