Random seed?

Something is seriously wrong here...
I'm currently on 71 games straight, with a single first place in that entire time. Game after game I lose one and two dice advantage attacks right when it matters the most. I know random is random, but even relying on luck alone, 70 games should have given me 10 first places there abouts. Now I've placed in the top 100 before, I've played for ages, and I even reach the hallowed 2000 points under the ELO system. So whilst I am far from the best player here, I'm far from useless at the game either. So how the bloody hell is it possible to have this sort of losing streak? 70 games?!?!?! Create an alt, sit in and in 5 games, I've got 3 first places and 2 third places. Come back to this account though, and luck bites me in the arse once more. So, a question to Ryan. Is the random number generator using a seed that is linked to an account, or is a new seed picked for each game? I'm trying to understand how I've managed to get the million to one odds of losing this many games in a row, 'cause I'm either the most unlucky man to walk to the face of the planet, or something strange is going on with the RNG... As an amusing aside, even whilst I'm writing this, I've been reduced to one stack before my first turn in my current game... |

at 11:44 PM, Tuesday November 13, 2007 EST I'm with you Cyron. Unfortunately, I don't do my HW on that statistics bullcrap. I just know that somethings always funky with the rolls. If it means anything to you I whole heartedly agree, and seriously wish for an answer from someone. I'm probably going to read the kdice wikipedia just for "proof" that it's random, but, I'm still not sure.

Rather amusingly, my streak did not begin until /after/ I had donated. Of course, it was something like 6 months after I donated, but still, they must be related I'm sure ;) |
