can this be merged with the other dice complaint threads? anyway, wow, those are really bad odds. You should play the lottery :D


Do you have the dice analyzer though? It would be interesting to see if those ridiculous odds really just corrected too many wins. Sadly, my dice analyzer says I have less than statistical luck. Then again, anyone could have told me that :(

Probably because you don't know how to play the game!


I know how to play the game, but more importantly I don't whine on the forums every time I have a bad streak of dice.
My point is, that 99 times out of a hundred, that may have been a stupid move, but on this particular day, it was a very, very smart move that resulted in a win.

A stupid move is a stupid move. If you luck out and win from a stupid move - it was STILL a stupid move that you got lucky on, NOT a smart move.

Concerning the player who I said suicided me - he lost the next turn because he cashed in a set (he had only 5 armies on the field, cashed something like a 35 set, and used aobut 25 of the 35 armies killing me, to which Teal came in and scrapped up the remains).

And no, I doubt you know how to play the game.

Yes the dice do suck, in fact today i noticed the defender rolled 7 sixes in a row. Has anyone ever seen say 7 threes in a row? NO BECAUSE THE DICE SUCK! :evil:

I assure you that those 3 or 4 sites ARE NOT using random.org. I run each front up to 6 or 7 times just to build my confidence and to gauge how many armies I will have left after the first terr of a multiple terr front. After winning 7 consecutive times, I'm feeling good; start my turn, then poof- I brick the first terr.....turn over.
