Re: [Bug-gnubg] Recent RGB posting on "Change Dice" Option

Thanks for all your responses. 

In trying to suggest something serious to alleviate the plethora of dice cheating claims I've unintentionally been a catalyst in effecting the opposite.  Cheat mode is born!  The RGB conspiracy theorists will have been "proven" right after all.  I guess the argument now will be that cheat mode has always been there and will continue to "secretly" run in the background whether you turn it on or not.

I can see from your pooled comments and past experiences that absolutely nothing is going to appease these paranoid dice cheat fanatics so why not go to the opposite extreme and allow the program to cheat.  RGB reaction to it will be an interesting social experiment perhaps. I look forward to seeing what unfolds.

Thanks for considering my "serious" idea anyway.

Ian Dunstan.
