SavagedInit and SavagedDice tools are synced to your group and actually log the results from every user attached to your game. The results view is updated every 5 seconds, so the results are near real-time. The log purges results more than an hour old to keep the database managable. SavageDice uses the API offered by Random.org to provide true random numbers.
