Color statistics finally in

I have finally finished off the long anticipated color win percentage tabulation. Calculated from the last 100 games I was in, tracking where each players color finished, and awarding placement weightings accordingly (7 points for 1st... 1 point for 7th), here are the results:

Purple: 547 points
Red: 411 points
Teal (or whatever): 406 points
Green: 397 points
Brown: 389 points
Blue: 353 point
Yellow: 297 points


So from the sample set, purple clearly wins more often and yellow loses more often. 100 samples is lots enough to say we have an issue in the dice distribution algorithm.

I post my skrum stuff from spreadsheets by highlighting the data, then Control C (copy), then Control V (paste).

shadolin, you miss the point. It is not yellow can not win. And a good player always sitting in yellow can certainly do very well. And a bad player using purple will still lose. It is simply that on average, it would be better to chose purple than yellow since you get better dice distribution at the start.
