It can't be possible. I just played a newbie who had NO IDEA how to play, but almost every roll was doubles. It was as bad as I've ever seen the server get. Can't you just fix this issue?
Doubles 9 out of 10 rolls???

Doubles 9 out of 10 rolls???

Are you suggesting we should limit the number of doubles one can get? What would be this "limit" that would be accepted by every player?

I'm suggesting that it's not as random as it should be. Most players agree that the server messes with the game. Statistically, it shouldn't have happened. There's a pattern. You can make fun of me all you want, but many players make the same comments to me during a game.

Are you suggesting that there is a pattern giving 9 doubles out of 10 rolls? Please record your next 10 games, and share your observations. Thank you.
I just recorded 10 of my rolls against a guest... 5 & 3 2 & 1 2 & 4 1 & 1 - DOUBLE 3 & 3 - DOUBLE 6 & 6 - DOUBLE 4 & 3 6 & 1 6 & 1 6 & 5 That's only 3 doubles out of 10. Maybe my dice weren't "rigged"...
Do you know the probability of rolling doubles 3x in a row? Its 0.46% (1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6). It's highly improbable. If yours was the only example, I'd believe the dice are random. However, I've seen this way too many times. I also played someone today that rolled double 6s 3x in a row. That probability is 1/46,656 or 0.013% .... virtually impossible

Hello Lucky Loser, Just recently I read this older but very interesting and enlightening post by a FlyOrDie Operator, who put a lot of time and effort in it. It's really worth reading. Title: "Random Dice - the Myth"
