'Kay let me paint the picture for you.

I know how you must be irritated on how I keep reminiscing about this, but a while back, I created a game called 'Points to play', rules were pretty simple enough, person with the most points awarded to them, got to eliminate someone.

During a round, there were only 6 players left, wordcross had won, and was given the duty to eliminate, he meant for the desicion to be made up by a diceroll.

MatthewV gave a dice-tag, that had accidentally landed on wordcross's number, when wordcross did an appropriate diceroll, it had landed on MatthewV's number.

After a few months or so, heck, maybe even half a year, I look back on the thread for a slight glimpse, only to shockingly find that the numbers had pulled a sigfried and roy on me. This making MatthewV's diceroll land on himself, and wordcross's diceroll thus eliminating Samadhi.

Evidence can be found right here:

No, I don't think there is any intention of replaying those last few rounds and looking at what might've been.

Though this does confuse me, puts me in an akward spot, as though a wrongdoing had been done, is there any way to know WHY the dice-roll numbers switched their original places?

We had a similar thing on scum, after a server upgrade. I'd expect it's related to the move. (I'm not sure how the dice tags are coded, so I can't say more than that.)

[MatthewV]

I don't know why they changed, but I know my post took several tries to get it to land on wordcross. Any moderator could theoretically change the results of a dice roll without anyone knowing about it.

Dice Roll:

Original Roll String: 2d6 Fixed 2 6-Sided Dice Results: 1, 3 (Total = 4)

(Hey, is the total new?)

Do administrators have an "edited" note placed at the end of their own posts?

I love Neo.

[Neo]

Test

Courk doesn't suck too much.

Yes, there is an edit note there, as you can see.

It works like any other user. If I edit a post before anybody else makes a post after it in the thread, there is no notification. If I edit the post after additional posts have been made, there is a notification.

However, admins (and mods, I believe) can edit other people's posts at any time, and the notification doesn't show up, as is evidenced by my vandalism of Courky's previous post.

The one that had a total of 7?

No, the Total isn't new.

[raekuul]

How do you subtract die rolls from die rolls, like 10d10 - 5d6? Is that supported?

[Samadhi]

Sure that's supported. You do it like this:

Dice Roll:

Original Roll String: 10d10 10 10-Sided Dice Results: 6, 4, 6, 6, 7, 10, 5, 7, 8, 1 (Total = 60)

-

Dice Roll:

Original Roll String: 5d6 5 6-Sided Dice Results: 6, 2, 5, 3, 5 (Total = 21)

43-18=25

[raekuul]

But the strings are seperate.

[MatthewV]

No. That would be too much work to code for what it is worth. You should have learned subtraction in elementary school.

[raekuul]

So, in short, I'd have to double post if that situation ever came up. Nice to know.
