The mighty invocation of Scaling Enemies, spat forth into reality by the death of the Wall of Flesh, as heralded by the mighty prophet Chan'ge Lo G, hallowed be Its down low.

With real dice, you'd just check to see how biased the dice are (which they all are, it's just a matter of how much -- the good ones take many hundreds of rolls before the bias becomes evident, and aren't terrible biased anyway) and how many rolls it takes to determine that bias, and then see if either person is out of line, so far as I can tell.

Stuff online about loaded dice'll give most of the resources someone needs to work out how to do that, it would seem.

As to the RNG giving different results for different people, screwed up RNG code can definitely do that and pretty trivially. S'as simple a matter of some nitwit including player number in the formula, or something as silly as that. Is one of the reasons people check to make sure :V

... pretty sure the OP isn't aiming for anything as fancy as that, ree. Sounds like they just want to know how you check if (/to what extent) a RNG is biased or not. Which computer RNGs often are, just as dice can be loaded or whatev'.

Far as I can tell, OP, your answer depends on the RNG that's being used. 25d6 or 100d6 might not be a big enough sample size to be able to tell if the RNG the game's using has gone wonky or not.

In any case, there's apparently resources online that could help you look into the question, OP. I'd start with google and check stuff like this (which I've only skimmed, and it being a quarter till five int the morning and me not really being a math person, can't tell you how good an overview it is), which links a .pdf that gives a bit of an overview for some methods of RNG testing. Then you'd probably have a go with calculator or spreadsheet or somethin'.

... the monster girl thing got an anime series? Neat. The manga's basically a half-step from porn, but it's a pretty alright half-step from porn thing, as half-step from porn things go. Sorta' like an Aiki, just monster girls instead of martial arts, I guess. It's definitely harem fanservice, but not really what I'd call complete rubbish.

... a similarly large hole, or the sponge. I'd recommend the latter personally >_>

Also dynamite. The answer is dynamite, not... ore. Also not digging. Explode your way downward. I guess the rockets work, too, but if you've got a large stack of the dynamite rockets you probably don't really have to worry about much :V

I thought that flash fixed its buggy-thing.

The security issues are apparently still there, and from what I understand the whole thing's still fairly unstable for a fair number of people. I pretty regularly get this white box of intense irritation that hard freezes the plugin and requires flash to be killed via task manager and restarted.

Still, the problem with flash isn't that it's bad, exactly (though its problems are problems), it's that everything else is generally worse :V

Means that flash can get away with being pretty shitty, because everything else is shittier, heh.

Good ones go with protection, and can dodge projectiles.

... the good ones do, yes, but there always seems to be so few of those. Either they don't have a helmet, or they're one dismount from losing huge swaths of their skin due to no jacket/good pants or whatev'. My personal ranking is full idiot (neither helmet nor limb protection), half idiot (one mission) or smart person, and there's a fairly significantly larger amount of the first two in the area I'm in

Occasionally I actually see a rider that has proper clothing and a helmet, and let out a little cheer of appreciation. It's like seeing someone that uses their goddamn blinker and passes at a reasonable distance instead of tailgating first.
