Of course, if you were bright and immoral.. you could simply do this twice, assuming you were group
leader. Just make a few macros for some fake seed generations.. just like you would for the roll.
Cheetr says 'Blah, blah... Here's the seed..'_______
Cheetr could have rolled any number from 1 to 1000
but this time he made sure it was a 378.
Cheetr says 'Blah, blah... Here's the seed..'_______
Cheetr could have rolled any number from 1 to 1000
but this time he made sure it was a 734.
With equivalent macros for the results:
Cheetr says 'Blah, blah... I hope I win.'_______
Cheetr could have rolled any number from 1 to 378
but this time he made sure it was a 370.
Cheetr says 'Blah, blah... I hope I win.'_______
Cheetr could have rolled any number from 1 to 734
but this time he made sure it was a 720.
Would be hard to maintain credibility over time, but could certainly be done a few times in a pickup
group.
