<_< I'm sorry to say,but it has recently been brought to my attention during my last Dc Game Friday night,that one can /me [emoting] a die roll and cheat the dice bot in the chat room.

[font=Comic]<span style="color:#3333ff">There is so far no way I know of to detect this.Is there a way you could change the emote or dice bot color so it cannot be duplicated.Otherwise We dm's will have to play on an honor system.I've never been in a group that did'nt have that "player" that wouldn't exploit such a thing.</span>

For those of you who did not know this was possible,I apologize for any problems this may create for you in your own adventures.I struggled with even mentioning it at all,but regretably,I felt I had too.

Help Wanted,
Lapis Lazuli

Yep we know the cheat - when an admin runs a game he/she can look at the chat logs and see cheating there (if cheating did happen)

unfortunately you have to trust the guys you are with as the die roller qwas an add on and basically it is now adjoined to the whole chatroom code...... I really dont think I have the capabilities to sort it out as I would have to re learn a bit of flash aswell....the php side i would be okay at... ish....

Well thank you, I appreciate the prompt reply if nothing else.

<span style="color:#3333ff"> Yeah for the most part I do trust the gang,but I think every party has that "guy" that you're just never sure about [perhaps you have suspected or actually caught cheating in the past...].Shame too, why would you want to cheese out like that? Some of my most memorable game experiences have been the direct result of screwing up a dice roll. Ahhh,the good times!</span>

Well,now that that's done,please feel free to remove this topic and the help wanted one in the off topic chat thread,perhaps we can use the jedi mind trick to make others forget i even mentioned it!
