PBEM INTERNET DIE ROLLERS
updated 050412
- The VASSAL module contains the necessary 1d6 die roller.
- Typically the inherent die rollers are used for server play or
where players are playing known opponents who they can trust.
It is possible to 'cheat' by restarting a log file to generate
a different set of die rolls and results. However such player
should not be playing in the first place.
- As tournament play pits a lot of unknown opponents, new gamers,
and players from the computer game environment (reverting to save,
anything is legal vs AI opponents is the accepted norm).
Additionally awards and titles may be at stake. In this setting, use
of an internet die roller is recommended. These give the additional
benefit of not needed to suspect extreme die roll results. One neither
has to feel guilty about great die rolls or be wary of bad ones.

- NOTE: This old standby has been decertified for VIP ladder
play due
to reoccuring identical die sequences and should not be used.
