If you really want I can provide you with all of the statistics since I first started complaining that the random number generator isn't random. Somewhere near two years of data, because I am OCD, anal and sad.

I've checked scotireb's dice rolls but I hadn't seen your msg yet

It seems I'll have to investigate further on our random number generator

Even if it is perfectly random across the entire site you will get localised clumping - nothing you can do about it really. That is actually part of random.

You could try to mitigate against clumping - by giving less random rolls, or try to mitigate to the effect of random rolls.

I'd suggest the second option and change the scoring system slightly. Rather than giving bonus points for rolling high, change the scores to take away the points for people's dice rolls that should mitigate the effect of the localised clumping.
