Subject: Make Alan's Wood Breaking pseudo-random.

This means you have a fixed amount of fails, and likewise, you cannot fail
more than a certain amount of times.

These values are min 10 fails and max 30 fails per @Micksha request.
They can be tweaked at will. The code behind fake radomness is fairly simple ^.^
