This is true, and to my knowledge it's the only way to cheat on a roll. If
Verant hopped the clue train and made the rolls appear in yellow or red
there'd be no way to cheat. As it is, emotes and rolls are the same color.
Duh.
Cheetr creates an emote that produces the following:
Cheetr says 'Blah, blah... I hope I win.'_______
Cheetr could have rolled any number from 1 to 100
but this time he made sure it was a 98.
Just make double sure that NO ONE in a roll has "said" anything prior to the
roll itself. If anyone has, reroll, perhaps using the method below:
The leader of the group randoms a number 1 to 100 and then the group rolls
to that. That way no one can use the emote cheat.
Leader rolls 1 to 100 and gets a 43.
Everyone else does a /random 1 43 for the winner.
The problem with the 1-6 Alpha method is that if the leader and someone in
the group are wooking in cahoots, the randomer could make sure his buddy won
the roll for the item that he really wanted.
