Randomizer is not very Random ...

I've been playing the game a lot on the website and I have to say that I think 
that there is something wrong with the randomization.  In particular, it seems 
to get often "stuck" in a failure mode, wherein the player repeats the same 
action and despite the low probability (always +90% chance of success when I 
have noted it), keeps failing, anywhere from 2 to 5+ times in a row.

Now, certainly this is going to happen once in a while, but I see it *way* more 
that is statistically justified.  Failing twice on the same 97% action is not 
at all uncommon (though it should happen less than 1 in 900 times), and those 5 
and 6 in-a-row failures were always a +90% success probabilities, which should 
only happen once in 10,000+ times!

Most especially, I have noticed that "Ritual Failed" seems to happen *much* 
more often than the probabilities say it should, particularly during critical 
stages (ie., your first or second adept, which are extremely important on the 
"Hard" setting).

At the same time, I have noticed that there seems to be long stretches in the 
middle of most of my games where I can do no wrong: none of my actions ever 
seem to fail, even if I let my Awareness creep up during a streak.
