Title: Possible /dice cheat?
Post by: iGBz on August 07, 2012, 02:51:50 am
I was dealing x2 at a casino today and came across someone that only rolled 6 or 5 for their first number (/dice). Could this be more than just luck?

Spoiler for logs.

Dice hacks/cheats doesn't exist

The random number generator is controlled entirely by the server and the client can't do anything that would influence that aside from drawing a random number at a different time. Simply put, dice hacks have not, do not, and will not exist.

Gimli once said that the numbers in the /dice system are taken from www.random.org, and that website generates randomness based on atmospheric noises.
In other words, it is "complete" randomness and not just some mathematical formula, which ultimately means that no cheats will ever exist.

Plus Gimli even bet $10million to whoever figures out how to beat the system.

I remember when i was kinda new in this server, i thought the people were using some kinda of glitch all the time, since i didn't win in Blackjack at all.

The person i was playing with always had 21, but later on i found out it was just pure luck ;)

Back in the time /dice system was working on milleseconds. If you could time typing /dice correct after checking it with first /dice, you could guess by counting the moment where 5/6 were to drop.

How do you know how the script is even scripted? If you would want to predict the numbers then you would need the script itself.

As you can not get it is impossible.

The thing is, it is random. You can NOT create a hack for /dice since the actual /dice function is not loaded into your clients memory, which makes it impossible to create any hack or cheat program for it.

Post by: Pandalink on August 08, 2012, 01:20:00 am
Even if you could somehow procure a client-side way of calculating /dice, you can't account for internet latency. The difference between a ping of 40 and a ping of 41 could mean the difference in /dice.
Not remotely possible.

Definition of random: "Made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision"

Please do elaborate how you believe a script that uses a random generator can be cheated and/or glitched to give an advantage to constantly get a higher number than your opponent..you could be 10 million dollars richer.

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO AFFECT THE 'RANDOM' NUMBER.
Title: Re: Possible /dice cheat?
Post by: TheLegitHabibi on August 08, 2012, 06:45:26 am
Its not random. I know Gimli said that, but from what I've observed it's not.

It follows a discrete pattern, and you can roughly judge the next number. Not saying you'll guess the next number, but you can roughly guess which number it might be. I've observed this many times.

Our numbers are taken from random.org

"As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated 1.15 trillion random bits for the Internet community."

Still think it's faulty ?
Title: Re: Possible /dice cheat?
Post by: Gimli on August 08, 2012, 01:38:48 pm
There are no tricks.

The chances of you guessing the next number are quite high though, 16.(6)7%

The dice numbers are preloaded onto memory, so they are not based on when the command was typed, i.e. time, as the old version was.

To be honest, there were few advises i got from my "superiors" from a group back in 2011. One was that i could try dicing quickly as possible using the Alt + up arrow key, this would result me in getting high numbers but it wont work always. I decided to try this many times on different days and surprisingly, it was effective, it didn't work as always but the chances of seeing it fail was minor.

The only thing I know for sure is: If the server lags badly like it did a few months back, then if you would've used /dice you'd always get shitty number.

is it really hard to understand....the script basically chooses a random number....nothing else....no, lag doesn't affect it, only thing it can do is delay the command, and the reason why you believe your stories is plain 'luck', I rolled '1' 4 times in a row, doesn't mean someone's hacking to take down my chances jeeze

If you believe hard enough in a supposed "cheat" method then you will merely begin to ignore any failures in the method.

You can't cheat /dice.

Ok, Gimli. Let's do it this way. You and Conroy goes to a casino, you Gimli got unlimited money, you can just give Conroy 2m so he could use them in casino and afterwards removing them. Tell me the results after you and Conroy have been playing.

The first 10 rounds, where you send the cash right away, and do /dice right after. Tell me the results of the winning in x2. Then the next 10 rounds after that. Conroy gonna be dealer, and you gonna send him let's say 100k, then Conroy gonna wait at least 7 seconds - before he says "Go". Then you dice. Tell me the results after that, and I want screenshot proves. Then I will believe you that there are no tricks.

Believe what you want. If you think there are tricks, do what ever makes you get high numbers.

We, the developers, are telling you that the numbers are preloaded into memory when the server starts up and when ever the numbers in memory run out new ones are loaded.

The only luck is when you roll the dice, the next numbers in memory are high, nothing else

We, the developers, are telling you that the numbers are preloaded into memory when the server starts up and when ever the numbers in memory run out new ones are loaded.

The only luck is when you roll the dice, the next numbers in memory are high, nothing else

Ok, fine then. Then you got no proves that there actually is no trick in the /dice.

Will you give it a god damn rest? They don't have to prove shit to you, if you don't like it then leave and go play elsewhere. If all you want to do here is make a fight out of everything and shit on the community its players and accuse the developers of lying, then just get lost.

You clearly don't see it do you? If you were gambling in Argonath regularly, which I doubt you and the developers of Argonath do, then you would understand. But, no, it's wrong that the players gives a message that there clearly are something wrong with exactly that script, and all we get in return is shitting and trolls.

You know what, if that is what's stopping me from playing in Argonath, so be it. I don't want to be a part of a community with developers like that, I want someone who can make themselves a little humble and actually take it into consideration and test it out for a longer time of period instead of only one fucking /dice round and then claim it is "random", OF F*CKING COURSE It's random when you only try ONCE! Go screw yourself with that bullshit you present to me.

They don't need to play or test it to see if its random, they know the code. If you knew a single fk about development it would be obvious to you that yes there is as xcasio stated a "chance" of being able to guess the next number. This guessing would need to be done by a computer and running the algorithms that generate the number themselves. Yes there is a seed, yes this seed is random (most likely) in my LUA and even in web development, random I know i use the time current time in UNIX as the seed for random but still, the chances of being able to abuse this are very very slim. This isn't like card counting, you don't do a simple math per card and then spam your keyboard like a insane little 6 year old and randomly somehow get lucky.

I suggest you learn how things work before you start point fingers and telling the developers to prove things they don't need to as its easily accessible knowledge.

This topic is prove enough that everyone shit on his question and just trash it right away. Yes, I do know about development, that's why I think this should be checked. Yeah, you're right, xcasio said it might be a chance.. Even if it was 0.00000000000000001 percent chance that it is a possible dice trick, then it should of course be considered! Even Betsson is more random than Argonath, so go and cool the fuck down.

Listen, it can't be made any better. Make it not use a generation of random numbers would require it to be manually generated which would actually lead to it be able to be abused. There are more complex random number generators but this one is perfectly able to suffice. I'm perfectly fine here also, I think your the one who needs to calm down over a game and simple script with virtual money that works perfectly fine.

Perfectly five. Try gambling over time and you realize it isn't about luck in Argonath, it's about knowledge of tricks. I want this game to be tactical like IRL, but it's not.

If you genuinely think that the /dice system is not random, then make a video of yourself generating 20 6's in a row without one flaw.
Given that the mathematical chance of you getting even 6 rolls of the same (initially specified) number for any given 6 consecutive dice rolls is ~1 in 50000, I don't fancy your chances.

But go on, if you're so sure.

Ok, let me know the next time Stephen Hawking is playing. I have some questions to ask him.

In seriousness, many people can't preform these mathematical formulas in their head in a matter of seconds. So, yes you are right.. they could but it would take them a few minutes at the least to do it. You also have to understand many of the players here are still in High School or equivalent so they won't be able to preform this level of math in a month. I am assuring you, player to player. Developer, maybe not of pawno, but I know on a professional scale many other languages that use those exact formulas, this isn't easily abusable and it is my absolute best assurance that I can say nobody in Argoanth has the ability to preform that level of math in such a short time. Even so, they don't know the seed, or how the seed works, so they'd have to hack the scripts to find out....

.
Source function(don't know the actual word in English) F that is dependent on variable b is equal to an integral from minus infinity to b of the function f that is dependent of the variable b'.
Function F value is between 0 and 1 and the variable b changes from minus infinity to infinity. Also when the value is minus infinity the value is 0 and value is 1 when b is equal to infinity.
Function F(b)[explained before] is equal to c.
b is equal to a reversed function that is dependent on c.

So, nothing really hard to understand there.

THERE ISNT ANYTHING SUCH AS 'MOST RANDOM' OMG! the only way to do it 'more random' would be adding more numbers to be able to show up! is that so hard to understand?

no, killing 2000 cops and having 50 combat and 2 condoms in inventory doesnt affect ANYTHING, because the dice script itself is not connected to any other script, its STANDALONE.

As you said that one is random. So anything else would be worse now would it? But if you think it is not random ok, let me enlighten you how they get their random number, what Argonath also uses.
Main aspect about is atmospheric noise. It's a white noise mainly produced by electric charges from lightnings. So lightning near creates bigger noise and lightning further away creates less noise and all the lightnings over the earth combined makes atmospheric noise. Also the center of our Galaxy, the milky way influences the atmospheric noise. So in order to predict the change of atmospheric noise you must know how all of the lightnings all over the earth moves, including the ones that are between clouds, which ones dissapears, how the clouds are forming, wind direction and speed etc. Also how earth is moving relative to the center of Milky Way. If you know all of that you can calculate the atmospheric noise and even predict it at any given time. Well done. So then you must also know what the site that Conroy gave you does with the atmospheric number. It probably uses it in it's own function. If you also know that function than you can predict the number any given time on that site and hence-fore in Argonath.
So get cracking!

You are not following logic here. Gimli and Conroy made the script to be as random as humanly possible.
Now if you believe there is any trick that works, you are invited to use it, logs will show the clear results.
You do not need unlimited money, as if there is any trick it works just as well with $1 or nothing at all as with $1million.
The obligation to provide evidence for an extraordinary claim lies with those who make it.

There was a 0.000000000001% chance when we used the old dice system.

The current dice system is preloaded onto memory, meaning 100 /dice's are saved in an integer array, so the only way to cheat would be to access the numbers, and there is no way to do that.
