The /roll command can be predicted, but it's tricky and very unlikely

[karl-police]

The /roll command most likely uses math.random() however, math.random generates a number based on a seed.

That seed apparently is in Nanoseconds by default. Meaning that every nano second there's a different RNG value. But every math.random in a programming language may work differently so...

If you however go into the future and pre-calculate what the RNG values could be.

You could technically roll 100 everytime, if you time it precisely enough.


Nanoseconds are a really small unit and goes on fast. If the client sends a request to the server, nanoseconds already passed, so chances to even be so precise can be low, but who knows?

It also depends if the seed is changed or not.


Eitherways, that's why it's called Pseudo-RNG. Because it's not true RNG.


In Pokemon there's some sketchy manipulation you can do with RNG. Probably related to this topic, but not exactly.

karl you can't keep doing this to me man please I'm begging you it'll ruin me

karl you can't keep doing this to me man please I'm begging you it'll ruin me

don't worry, I gave you a nebulous

Don't worry. He gave you a nebulous rating, you should repay him by making him a phase 1

Karl could theoretically join Civil Protection, reach rank 75 and undergo 4 cycles to become a Phase 1 Transhuman Soldier

 

[Generally Fruity]

Okay Karl. Now tell us about /actarrestwall.

 

[Flop]

gonna kill you

I'd love to learn this shit just to make people unbelievably angry with 100 rolls but I would 100% get banned for cheating even after explaining the method and absolutely do not have the will to learn how this random helix code shit works for the opportunity of an extremely unlikely to be uncovered and definitely absurdly precise if discovered method of making my character a close combat ace

Nah he'd only need 1 cycle and he'd be instantly promoted to phase 2

 

[Flop]

Nah he'd only need 1 cycle and he'd be instantly promoted to phase 2

nah nah, he just needs to join the server and then he's phase 3

 

[MaXenzie]

funniest part is that this has been done before

roll20 uses seeded rolling systems and there's external programmes you can use that run the /roll command the instant it'd give them a natural 20

 

[Alexander The Great]

true roleplayer uses /roll

I LOVE SEEDED 'RNG'

I LOVE WHEN COMPUTERS CANNOT FULLY FATHOM THE CONCEPT OF RANDOMNESS
