Now that I tested the party dice tie thingie and figured that the order of
tied rollers is not randomized.. would it be too much asked if the party dice
could be improved a bit? Maybe an option to toggle automatic reroll on/off and
a verbose output of the method for all partymembers, or whatever.

Let me help you out. The odds of the largest possible party (9man) having a
tie involving the top 3 die places is almost exactly 10%. Therefore, if you
had a 9man party all day every day for one year, you would have about 36
contested eq dice ties. (And that's asking a lot of your playing schedule).
Typing "party dice[enter]" requires 11 keystrokes.
Sending that news post took 360 keystrokes (maybe more, but I'll round down
for dramatic effect). That means, over the course of one _incredibly_ heavy
year of partying, you would save 36 keystrokes, or about one minute of time. I
tell you what, I'll come back to this post in a year's time, and if you're
still interested, I'll pretend to reconsider.

P.S. Before anyone thinks to reply "oh, well how many keystrokes would it have
taken to fix party dice?" I say that this post was done on my break when it is
easier to make fun of silly suggestions and not to impliment them.
