Is this a cheat or a bug?
I am running a combat in my forum and subscribe to the thread so that I know when my players have done something. A little while ago I got an e-mail stating that a player has posted, and it also included the text of the message, including the dice roll and the result.
When I checked the post, the result of the dice roll was different from what I saw in the e-mail. The post was edited in with the same time stamp as the e-mail, but the player claims he added a statement after posting the original content (which makes sense, since it was an exclamation of success). There was not notice stating that the roll had been changed.
To test it I had him made another post with a new dice roll and not edit anything. The e-mail I got with a die roll matched the die roll in his post. Seemed like a clear case of getting around the cheat alert somehow.
However, the next post from a different player with a dice roll showed two different numbers; as before, he had added a comment to his post after the roll, but no indication of cheating.
QUESTION: Is the dice result that gets sent to me going to show the same result as in the actual post? If so, the match check I made was a completely lucky shot? Sometimes they seem to match and sometimes they don't.
