the dice rolls are bs

Post by OCBG »

Why when you're gigasaurus you can't roll !s hardly ever
but when you're the penguin that can only use two at a time you roll tons

I had both tokens one spot away from spotlight area and multiple rolls in a row couldn't roll enough !s to win.

This post is bs.

The rolls are entirely random.

dice rolls are random?
I just played a game as meka dragon and only once got !s and Claws in the same roll
Meaning while Penguin guy got 4 or 5 !s in one roll and had two extra dice the entire game

dice rolls are random??

I just played a game against meka and they got 6+ claws three times, with !s and claw combo
one game after I was meka and didn't get more than one.

That happens with randomness. I'm sure you've benefitted from this sort of thing yourself at times.

Just to give a professional looking answer.

Dice rolls are automated. All games on BGA take the dice result from a common source generated by the BGA server. (As far as I know and read somewhere) The server has no way of knowing what impact these roles will have on your game, so any result you get is unreleated to your character or powerset. The server doesn't know which game the dice are generated for, so it cannot finetune for it.


Anyone claiming the dice are biased clearly does not understand randomness.

Yes, in general it seems to swing back and forth, doing really well for a while than really bad for a while. Instead of random which would be some of each consistently, at least more often. I'd think. True randomness can be anything, rolling six hearts 100 times in a row. etc. But as far as electronic not true randomness, it seems like it should be more balanced. No algorithm is true random.

But it doesn't seem to be random that almost every monster rolls a decent amount of !s and claws, but when you're mecha dragon you roll far less !s and Claws together.

Or gigasaur rolling far less !s.

If this wasn't the case Giga and Mecha would win pretty much every game within a few rolls. Which doesn't seem to happen.

If it happens to no one else than maybe it's just me. Or I'm just noticing it oddly.
But seems like when I'm the penguin I roll tons of !s when only two can be used.
When I'm giga I don't roll nearly as many.
Same for mecha not many !s and claw combos.

This is a misconception, that computers "cannot make truly random numbers" in any meaningful sense, or that a computer cannot make a random distribution that is "truly random". Your everyday activities on your computer and phone rely on random number generators working properly every day.

Your impressions that the rolls are not random are due to cognitive biases (that we all humans are prone to).
