Perception is difficult with the study of randomness. You have to repeatedly see the same pattern before you can assume the either random number generator or pregenerated random number table is flawed. I'm not sure which this game uses. Anyway, strings of mages are entirely likely. . . Kind of like a couple having 4 girls and no boys. The likelyhood of that is .5^4 or (6.25%).

If you want to test your hypothesis you need to document patterns. . .BBF ... BBF...

I don't think 1000 mages will produce much more significance than say 400, or even 300. Thats just the way significance works. I've misplace my statistics book, or I'd tell you exactly how to find significance, but trust me, you don't need 1000 mage, 300 will do.
