Dice Rolling System

[Mykentros]

As most people know, I've invented an in game gambling game using just the /roll command and a little creativity.  (see it here:  http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24897.0)  After getting intimate with this mechanic, I've noticed a few flaws.  First off, when rolling multiple dice, the system simply returns the sum of all the rolls.  It should return the individual results of each roll along with the sum.  (ie: /roll 2 6 s should return 8: 3,5  or something simliar, not just simply 8 )

Some features that should be added (Yes, I am making more dice games)  The ability to "roll in a cup" so to speak.  Rolling dice that is hidden to other players to be revealed later.  The player should be allowed to look at his own dice and reveal it to someone else and then remove the cup (reveal all).  Also possibly implementing something like, X whispers to Y if they use the /tell command while within normal speaking distance.  Both of these would require a bit of coding, so not expecting anything anytime soon.  Perhaps by Steel Blue?  *crosses fingers*

I believe one of the devs mentioned coding in a tournament braket system, which I must say is a WONDERFUL idea.

PS-Actually, I don't gamble in Real Life(tm), so I'm not as experienced with this stuff as people may think.

I don't know about the roll in the cup idea, I mean it could be added but by doing that you'd have trouble doing your game. Because in that way it would be hiding what the persons real number was, so then they could roll multiple times till they get a good roll then show just that one. Or maybe you had another idea going about it and I just didn't see it.

But otherwise that...well I like the rest

Unless everyone saw a system message like "<Name> secretly rolled 2 six-sided dice." 

I really like the idea of showing the individual dice results as well as the total.

Both of these ideas could be nice additions to the roll command that could allow for more creative games of chance.
