I just got the same story twice in a row with random story button. I know it's random, but you should fix it so that stuff like that doesn't  happen

That's not a bug, that's just the odds fucking with you.

If there was no possiblity of getting the same thing twice in a row it wouldn't be random.

Yup.

If it happened 10 times in a row then there MIGHT be something wrong.

Well, there are SOME chances of getting it ten times in a row.

Don't be silly. It's already happened. What are the chances of it happening again? =)

The current chance of running into the same storygame twice in a row is 1 in 524 (the number of published storygames).

If you were talking about the 10-in-a-row thing already happening, that's a 1 in 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance so I highly doubt it.

Well its random getting the game the first time, and since the game isn't taken out in the randomizer. The chance is actually 1 in 274576.

The storygame that you get the first time you hit 'random' doesn't matter - all that matters is that the second storygame is the same as the first one. If you got Death Song the first time, the chance is 1 in 524 that you'll get Death Song again.

It's only if you set out to get a specific storygame twice that the chance becomes 1 in 274,576.
