I'm going to start a thread about the (please don't attack me) dice.

It will be a statistical analysis of the dice. It will involve players reserving a post in the thread, and updating that post with their latest stats from Dice Analyser whenever they get round to it. I will regularly update the first post with the total sum of all the dice (attacking and defending), as well as have a list of who has the best and worst dice, showing how many standard deviations they are away from the mean.

I am not a dice skeptic (see my posts in the Dice Complaints merged thread), I firmly believe in the random and equal distribution of the dice, and am sick and tired of all the BS that is spouted about the dice on this site. I want to do this to provide conclusive statistical evidence that the dice tend towards normal distribution.

All I need to know is what forum this should go in:

General: seems the sensible choice
Plugins: may be an option, as it relies on Dice Analyser plugin
Flame Wars: for obvious reasons

dice are random to an extent. So post this in general

I would say GD or Sugs/Bugs.

I would also say that I would whole-heartedly support stickying your thread.

Hey Ns this is a disscussion about the dice so it should not go in sugs and bugs

GenDis does sound right, I'll give this another few hours, then formulate the post.

I'm thinking rules along the lines of:

• One post per person, with their post being updated with their latest stats, instead of posting new stats in new posts
• First post has a total of all stats, and a list of all submitting players, sorted according to how many Standard Deviations they are from the Mean
• Try to discourage general discussion on the thread itself, to reduce the clutter I'd have to scroll through in order to compile the stats.

ow about as the data comes in analyze it and every mint update result/ findings

I assume you mean every minute update it. Well, like most inferior hu-mans, I need sleep There's no need for it to have volatile updating anyhow, it's more of a proof that normal distribution occurs.

Actually, it could go in Sugs/Bugs because the auto-text for a new post states:

Sugs&Bugs wrote:The dice ARE random, lots and lots of analysis has been done on them both internally and by community members.

This thread would just lend credibility to the statement.

If I sticky the thread, it might end up getting unstickied if Twill doesn't want it there. Just a heads up.

It's pretty apparent that I'm not a mod, but I feel this would fit best in GD. It may be good evidence towards the disclaimer in the suggs & bugs forum,It will be neither a suggestion, nor a bug report, and it will deal with cc-specific issues. I will, gladly, provide my stats, which are currently above 230k attacking dice, and 120k defending dice.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll be commencing the thread shortly
