a loaded dice?

[Buster's Uncle]

There's a red die image already up - how would I draw 'loaded'?

Image 7, (from top, they are numbered)
like with a mechanism inside. just an idea from googling, but this one is quite good.
Unless you like something else. Google in images have some other ideas.

and also, next to a loaded dice:
certificate of truth and pure intentions.

Now, seeing a player in MP having both, or one of them in items, would make his/her opponents wonder what does that mean.
Does a loaded dice mean someone's intention to cheat? or it's merely a gadget.
Does a certificate of truth and pure intention really that? Or it is there to hide something...
And both? A smoke screen?

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay; image made - I'll have to make a .php script for this.  Hold on.

[Ninja'd] We could do a certificate Item if you find me an image that looks like anything at no more than 40 pixels tall...

Check the Gift Shop, Mart...

Draz has set the Quiz and Chess to work through the Games pass.  Only €10.

[Unorthodox]

?  Chess is working?

[Buster's Uncle]

We did not test very extensively - in my game v. NewAge, there was annoying lag, but later in a much longer game.  It's probably going to need tweaking, but we WERE able to finish that old game.

But yes, it works.  The games pass is a pretty good buy, you know, at only €10 for a week; that's five posts, not tough to do in a week.

So I bought random money, and got -70 EC. If you do not have it in your pocket, it is drawn from the bank. Banksters everywhere. They collaborate.
There goes my "trick" for easy EC...

[Buster's Uncle]

Random money is not good odds - it's even whether you win or lose -190 to +190, but the €75 price puts you that much in the hole, on average.

[Mart]

You could get better odds, if the negative EC were rounded up to zero.

[Buster's Uncle]

...Then it would be free money...

I suppose I could knock 75 off the losing limit and make odds even.  I'll do that, in fact.

[Mart]

It would be free money, but not completely easy to get.
The way I imagine it, two forum members would need to cooperate.
And it would not work, if you can have negative balance in your bank.

[Buster's Uncle]

I don't get where a partner comes into it, but the odds on the Random Money Item should be exactly even, now.
