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.

Wanting you is in the top 25. He has tourney stats with luck, but no regular games, so he shows no luck stats on the leaderboard. So tourney luck appears not to count.

After reading all this great post i will post what i think. If the random algorithm is ok as well as the color beginning algorithm... maybe human mind perceive yellow better than other colors and we have a preference of attacking it rather than red or purple. So from my point of view this is not a kind of random algorithms or statistic problems but a human perception problem. Someone ready to make us how humans perceive the colors ;) ?
