use 1296 trials as minimum when posting on BGO. (I'm not sure, but Stick maybe said that somewhere already)

Stick suggested 324 games as a minimum in this thread and there was further discussion in this thread.

I usually use 1296 as a minimum but I don't see any reason to try to force people to adhere to that limit. Especially since XG doesn't rotate the dice, there's nothing special about the number 1296 anyway. If someone posts a rollout with not enough trials to your liking, then just roll it out further yourself.
