[GO] No Dice Games

[army of nobunaga]

i think that if you think this out it would always end up with a map with a ton of "1's" and a few "2's" you would never ever get up to 90 troops like in your example.

On the start a game and game finder boxes there will be:
Dice: Regular - No dice
Gameplay
[*]The attacker has 4 people defender has 2 4-2=2 he gets two armies too advance

Specifics/Details:

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• More people will play games
  Complaints about dice\die will not happen

Since there is clearly no benefit at all to the site, I move that this suggestion be trashed.

This has been suggested before. This would create a ton of stalemate games. Technically, No game on Circus Maximus that is 1v1 would ever end, unless someone deadbeated.

then the only way you would gain an advantage is the drop. There's no way to gain an advantage if both people play correctly beyond what you get on the drop

Perhaps he is also suggesting that there should be no drop, then there will be no complaints about the drop.

But then they'd complain about human error.

How about: no dice, no drop game played by super-computers?

Freestyle, no spoils, btw.

If you play poorly you loose...if you play properly you win? the "randomness" of the dice no longer have an affect on the outcome of the game?

and if both people play properly...the person with the first turn wins?

that's totally fairer than dice

WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT!

Great suggestion, better fleshed-out by Fruitcake.

[Queen_Herpes]

I like it, seems like it would be a fun option. Well-written suggestion.

[TheForgivenOne]

Try reading what we said.



Anyways, merging this with the other thread.

[TheForgivenOne]

Actually, not yours, Fruitcake came up with it about 2 years ago.

[yeti_c]

Really surprised as to why this hasn't been fasttracked.

My Idea!
*hugs*

No.

[Queen_Herpes]

No.

But you like the idea, right Woody?

[Woodruff]

No.

But you like the idea, right Woody?

Honestly? I think it's a really dumb idea that hasn't been thought through well at all.

That said, I have always said that I believe that having more options is a good thing. But dumb.

lol

Please explain.

[Army of GOD]

Instead of another randomizing factor, you're basing games on drop and who goes first.

No.

[rdsrds2120]

This is 60/40? Garsh. Well, let's say that this were an option games. Why would we want to change the assault buttons for only those games (because we would), and how many games do you think would eventually come down to something that looks like the near end of a nukes game where every territory instead became a random 'player' one instead of neutral? It just doesn't seem to have enough practical benefits for the game and site itself to be worth the work that would have to be done to implement this setting.

[bib.ou]

hope no dice option will be implemented soon.
