Is this a record?

Just lost to 6 x sixes throwing against a single. 64668:1

Anyone beat this?

wondering if the board has a slight bias in favour of higher scores

as an aside I've heard about clickable maps.

Any views on these?

Yes, no one has ever rolled good dice on the site.

Slight bias in favor of those who are competent

Oh neat!

Many

Just teasing new friend! I'm sure you have likely come across a litany of threads bitching about dice - it happens, people (er-uhm.... jefjef) claim it's not random, maybe it's not but the only people truly claiming the site has a bias in favor of certain customers are typically to juiced up on the snake oil they just bought to notice. Clickable maps doesn't effect dice rolls, it's merely for deploying and attacking - some people hate them, others love them.

Explore the forums some, you'll see pretty much everything you mentioned in here has pretty much been commented on again and again and again and again.

Used to be a sysop for Netropolis... I know about RNGs and also how difficult it is to script the generators. Colour of cards may be possible( not for me!) for those with the knowledge.

I also have heard all the arguements about if its possible it will come up...but its the age old question " why me?" I've only played a few games but have had four or five similar runs...always against a single, always a run of sixes no matter what dice I throw. Can't say statistically abnormal as I don't have the width/ depth of data required, but definitely interesting.

This is an important thing, that all too many dice-complainers fail to understand. Yes, sometimes the dice go "streaky", but that's expected in truly random numbers. If you're ever able to consistently guess the numbers before you roll, then we might have a problem.

No. I didn't even read the post, just the title of the thread; the answer is no.

Lighten up, bad streaks come and go. Eventually, they will be over, but look at this fella: luapie. He was a brigaidier and the start of the streak. He is a sergeant now. 1.5 month streak. So take comfort in knowing that it is extremely unlikely you will end up like luapie.

He happens to be playing a shitload of Assdoodles. I guarantee you he didn't get to Brig that way.

That's why rank is a joke. Anyone can be a general playing 8 man term esq.
I love 1v1's, so a stripper I shall be. However if I want my swords back, I just start playing the "Increase You're Rank" model.

I don't understand the humor, why is rank a joke?

It's a broken record noggin that repeats itself far too often. Ever notice when the "cubes" allow you kill off bulbous forts that you only attacked out of desperation because you thought there was no chance of surviving?

Sry for my lack of proper English but to me i use them with the same meaning

Your sentence implies that his statement is technically true. That is not the same as using "is".

Still, I really don't see how one could fluctuate between Brig and Sgt because of luck alone. There must have been some external factor, such as game selection.

He played doodle freestyle as well.

Why dice suck... Confirmatory Bias...

Let me put this simply for you: I guarantee that you have rolled and lost 5 troops against 1 troop. You have also lost 7 troops against 1 troop. You have also won a battle where you didn't lose but a single troop. HOWEVER since you have a presupposition that dice suck and you will lose 6 troops, YOU WILL IGNORE ALL OTHER ROLLS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PRESUPPOSITION! This concludes today's psychology lesson. Tune in next time to learn about why you ALWAYS [INSERT X, Y, or Z]!

You may be a mere stripper, but if you love 1v1s so much you're probably cut out to be a lapdancer.
