In World of Warcraft, there are text-based commands that can be executed in the chat interface, similar to command line tools in a computer terminal. The "/played" command, for example, will give you the total time spent playing on a specific character.
One such command is "/roll". When this command is followed by a number (n), it generates a random number between 1 and n. This is akin to a digital dice roll, with the number specifying the number of sides on the dice.
For instance, you might decide to start a game with another player where you both start with a number of 500 and wager 100 gold. You would initiate the game by typing "/roll 500" into the chat, which would then generate a random number between 1 and 500. Let's imagine it gives you 137.
The other player then uses this number as the argument for their roll. So they would type "/roll 137". This process continues with each player using the result of the previous roll as the new argument for the "/roll" command.
The game ends when a player rolls a 1, and that player is deemed the loser.
Can we please ban this kind of comment on HN? Anyone here who is curious could have used chatgpt for themselves. This doesn't really contribute anything. Since the OP can be assumed to not know what he's talking about (since they had to use chatgpt to explain) we can assume that they also could not fact check chatgpt's answer.
I disagree. The "ChatGPT: " signifies the potential for inaccuracy and I would have appreciated someone answering so I don't have to. I wonder how many repeat lookups happen because of a perceived societal issue with providing AI answers that leads to groups shadow banning them. Imagine if I didn't put "ChatGPT :" how many people here would have upvoted me instead of flagging me. Interesting lessons all around.
