Subject: Rolling for loot


Hi all,

Since there's been a lot of talk on loot order, I thoguht I'd ask what everyone
uses as a fair assesment for Rolling for loot or how one determines who gets a
particular item.

What I found that seemed to be working well is Blackjack Rolls. Someone a long
while back showed this to me. Basically you roll from 1 to 30. The person closest
to 21 without going over wins. This seems to even out those who consistantly average
low rolls in the 1-100 randoms. In over 2 years of playing and using the random 1-100
i've never won or came close to an upper limit. With blackjack random or even a
raondom 1-100 and the closest to 50 is the winner, seems to average things out.

The problem with this is that most people (especially those that seemingly roll high)
love the 1-100 random. When I suggest the mid range win or blackjack roll, the first
time they lose to it, they want to go back to the 1-100 again.

What do you all use as a random or what 'rules' do you use for distributing the good
loot or when using Random?


Ciao,

-Knight - I still like BlackJack rolls. I can're remember the guys name that first
showed it to me though. :(
