Hi, I believe this topic needs investigation and a lot of data in order to come to a conclusion. Otherwise it will be people pointing out bizarre things and others saying it's just chance. Right, so gather more data... In the example you spotted you should add the probability of having any other nu...

Re: games won't block high ELO players

Usually, when you set the options for one table, they will be remembered for other tables of the same game (not for different games). But, at least for manual tables, I have seen the settings occasionally forgotten. Sometimes it seems to happen when I join someone else's table, they quit before sta...

Re: change the dice generator.

Look at this game: https://boardgamearena.com/8/catan?table=666623439 38 TIMES THE NUMBER 8!!!!! only 3 times the number 6. This is insane! You likely quoted the wrong table... For the linked game the output are {2,3,4,5,9,5,0,7,4,2,1} (two times 2, three times 3, 4 times 4, ...., one time twelve) ...

Re: change the dice generator.

... But if manipulation is obvious but rare , you won't really be able to detect it by looking at statistics of multiple games. ... That's a pretty empty statement. What does it mean "obvious"? If it is obvious it can be proven just quote the table, define a GOOD observable and compute th...

Re: time jokers

they apply to all games and i used 3 in total now, and with the game lasting only a total of 11 days i couldnt have been overtime or something is bugged, or i don*t get how time jokers are supposed to work, cause in all other games it was fine.

Basically meaningless...

If you trow a dice and get say 3 then you can conclude that, out of one roll, 100% where 3 and all the other outcomes 0%. So the dice is rigged.
