The entire point was to disprove the oft-mentioned idea that there may be something non-random about CF's RNG implementation.

I know in the motherland you can probably just use scores of coin flips from enslaved Chechen separatists and Crimean schoolchildren to fill up your servers' entropy pools, but CF is hosted on Linode. :P

A Quick Study of RNG for CF

Tolgrumm February 25, 2017 12:08PM

this thread makes me realize why i majored in finance and not computer science... nt

How long did this run take? I ask because RNG being very fast matters for CF (n/t)

laearrist February 27, 2017 05:29AM

Verry little (details inside)...

Keep talking like that...

I think you win the Matrik's Biggest ROFL From Dios award. (n/t)

Random: It took a recent neutral char 13 tries to get protection evil from a potion. Those odds are 1 in 4096. (n/t)

Since I can't be bothered to do the maths

Huh - I don't need a calculator to know that you 100% lied about OOC shadow plane collusion.

There's nothing magical in getting 1 in 4000 chance case

Kstatida February 26, 2017 03:19AM

I once rolled doubles eight times in a row playing Monopoly (went to jail twice). Odds of that are 1 in 1,679,616. I thought it was pretty magical. (n/t)

saagkri February 26, 2017 06:28PM

Interestingly, if you remove the didgets 666 from 1,679,616, you get 1791, the year the U.S. established the National Bank as a...monopoly. Creepy. (n/t)

saagkri February 26, 2017 06:42PM

You just blew my mind man. NT

Sam February 27, 2017 01:38PM

Exactly...

Tolgrumm February 26, 2017 06:43AM

Dont forget that cf is not a single user

Quas February 25, 2017 01:53PM

Yes and no...

Tolgrumm February 25, 2017 03:56PM

For the programmers...
