Your randomseed is probably the same

Roblox has a reprehensibility to set the randomseed to be the same across server instances. What this means for you, is that your random number generation is the same every time a server starts.

math.randomseed(tick())

That one line normally solves most of those kinds of issues.

As for other issues:

  • Your SID is not truly unique, and can be shared by another server.
  • I don't see the point in this, as Roblox already provides you with a ServerId from the JobId and such.
