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

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!

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.
