1) That's hilarious.
2) There is no 2). That's just hilarious.
3) Some tabletop coaches insist that both coaches use the same pair of precision dice, and complain that their math says that on GW-issued blocking dice, both-downs actually come up 19.22±1.36% of the time (or whatever). These coaches, the ones I know at least, they don't FUMBBL. If they play Cyanide, they don't take it seriously.

Though sometimes I've had a feeling that a particular roll would go a certain way and done something marginally suboptimal because I "just knew" it would turn out the way it did. Maybe he's accusing you of that. But that's not cheating.

Sounds to me like he was accusing you of knowing that there was 2 1's followed by a 6 in the RNG & using them up on the Trolls before dodging out.

Don't dissuade anyone who believes this! Very Happy

sadly this is exactly what happened to cyanide Blood bowl for a while: you could hack it to see what the next dice rolls would be, and any movement on the pitch would change them, so you could only roll pows if you wanted...

This is a misquote. His opponent actually said that, Kondor was quoting them.

Great thing to type in client before attempting something risky:

Admin client:on

Remember to type admin client: off at the end of your turn

Never fails...

You just cannot make this stuff up.

Less than a week ago I had another one of these guys. I think it was my gobos playing vampires. The guy makes a few moves and then skulls out.

I think nothing of it and start my turn but notice he simply typed the word "bug."

I stopped and asked "Bug? What bug?" and continue my turn. He says "It is a well known bug in the client that it gets stuck sometimes." He continues saying something like. "Last game I rolled four sets of double ones in a row. 11, 11, 11, 11. That is almost unheard of and I have had games with multiple blitzes and had 4 players killed. It is a well known bug."

I answered. "Dude, don't ever go to Vegas. Don't even play Yahtzee. Haven't you ever rolled Yahtzee on the first try? I have seen it several times and I have not played very much Yahtzee."

His answer "But the client is bugged."

I was a little frustrated and I said "Well Dude, I guess you have your own personal Fumbbl bug then."

The spectators hit /laugh and the guy did not say a word the rest of the match.

I went back and looked. The roll was skull/both down. Reroll. Both Down/Skull. Not even double ones and not even the same on the reroll.

That first guy you mentioned has played not far from 2000 games too! I suspect he hasn't played so many TT games.

A) His understanding of probability and my understanding of probability are subtly different... I'd estimate there are about 100 2 dice rolls (or consecutive 1 dice rolls) per game... snake eyes/double skulls occur 1/36 rolls so you would expect snake eyes/double skulls to occur roughly about 3 times per game admittedly it is only 1 in 8 games where there are 3 snakes that they would happen to the same person - but if that never happened then I would be seriously concerned about realities RNG

B) he should see some of my past IRL games, I've been known to roll a whole snake pit full of double 1s
