No trolling, but curing;)

1. a random dice engine that would always create average results without having streaks would NOT be random. Extreme events belong to randomness. Random is NOT the same like low luck

2. I doubt you would have always have 4 more air with low luck. It seems you kind of calculated attrition rolls too much in your favor

3. 2 does not really matter. I now see that you be default take a low luck outcome (with rather better than worse attrition rolls) as the bar and that EVERYTHING below that bar is part of a rigged dice engine and your personal bad luck which only hits you.

Sorry, I take it back. There is no cure. You believe in your twisted (its wrong but I know you dont believe that) world of probability.

Good LUCK!;)
