This dicebot is awful.

Seriously. I haven't rolled this poorly with dice that sat on my dashboard in the summer. And it's ridiculously easy to predict, too; every time I see a 19-20, I know that whoever rolls next is guaranteed to fail. You guys need to get a better program because I'm sick of being able to know what my roll is going to be, +/-2, every single time.
Feel free to read this if you want to see our rigorously-tested method of random number generation: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/63487/#post-6348" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/63487/#post-6348</a>...
Given that last night we started just idly rolling and I picked up on the pattern well enough to start predicting what the rolls would be and my predictions were no more than +/-2 on a d20, I've unfortunately rolled well enough on my IRL Will save to disbelieve. And since it's happened every time, every week for my monday game, my analysis is that either we are magically capable of repeatedly becoming an outlier AND I am a freaking Acanthus who doesn't yet know he awakened, or your bot isn't as impressive as your link wants it to sound. If this was the first time, I'd just chalk it up to randomness hating me sometimes, as it does. The second, okay sure whatever (un)luck happens weirdly. But this is a pattern; several points defining a line that I can clearly trace. If a guy can say "the next roll is going to be an 18" and it's a 17, followed by "now the next one's gonna be a 1" and it IS a 1, and he can keep that up over the course of several rolls then maybe, just maybe, something is flawed. Or maybe I just need to buy a lotto ticket.
