Dice made me leave

Postby cmattg on Wed Aug 22, 2007 10:40 am

I really liked this site but I can't stay. The 3 v 1 dice are a joke. I've kept a record of the last 1000 rolls i've had with 3 v 1. Here are the results for the defender dice.

I agree sometimes I curse the dice too.

But still. Does it matter if the dice are random or not?

It is the same for everybody. If the dice gives a higher number of high trows. Take that in consideration when you play.

Play the game and play the dice. Dont get played by the dice.

Last night, as I was watching TV, two CClub dice jumped in through my window, turned off my AC, turned off my TV, took the remote and jumped back out the window giggling...

These dice are out of control!!!

Lets assume he is right and the defensive dice have the edge, that would also be the case for his opponents so where is the disadvantage to him ?
All he needed to do was change his strategy to allow for this supposed glitch or is he really saying the dice are only geared against him :D
Thats the lack of logic behind all these dice complaints, even if the dice are not truly random it is to nobodys advantage/disadvantage in the long run because they can misbehave at any time to any player. In any given week I can pretty much guarantee that I will lose a game through shocking dice then be gifted one for the same reason, if you always play solidly the results will even out.

f*ck sake...
The dice ARE random. The dice ARE fair - becuase they are random for everyone. The dice DO act as they should.

The problem here is people like you that dont even have a basic understanding of probability. In CC's dice and in real dice, you would EXPECT luck like yours to come up. If it didn't, that would be an indication of fiddled dice.

So why is it then that I get better results if I break up a bad spell by attempting a not-allowed attack somewhere, then continue with the attack? Also clicking somewhere on the page so that no form-elements (buttons, etc) are 'active' seems to help.

Yes I'm kidding. But this argument seriously went on for 3 pages on the Dutch language sub-forum. :D

EDIT: Whenever a newbie complains about dice, give him the advice to switch his computer mouse to a different USB socket and then try again. Or keep both 'Shift' keys pressed while clicking the mouse button. Then if it works see how long it takes before they catch on. Or if it doesn't seem to work, say "you did remember to use only your pinky fingers for the keys right, then press the mouse button with any part of your anatomy remaining available?"

Honestly.

b]whats the record for bad dice being rolled on this perfetic dice system they use. ive been done a few times now and i just got hammerd and basicly wiped out the game in one hit with a 20 against 3 attack and i lost all my men with out takeing a single man. and thats not the worst of it i once attacked with 26 against 1 and still only took the terrortry with a couple left. so i was thinking that it cannot only happen to me and someone out there must have had worse than my sorryfull dice rolling. not a great subject to wright about i know but it s infuriateing when it happens and conquer club would probably say that s the roll of the dice but i could sit here all day rolling real dice and never come up with a 20 - 3 attack.[/b]

Lack of logic has never stopped anyone complaining about the dice. Some people, to get around your objection above, say that premium players have better dice results, or that the higher your rank, the better dice you get.

"Bad dice" is a psychological illusion. The human mind tends to remember bad dice much more than good dice, and they even out (believe me, I almost have my results for 2000 rolls complete).

So for people who complain about the dice, try to keep track of how many times you attacked 3v2 and the defender lost 2. It's far more often than you think, because people just don't tend to remember.

38,000 dice rolls. They've averaged out very well.

i agree that the dice are fair in most cases its just the outragious rolls that are totally unbeleivable such as the one i mentioned in my last post. not complaining too much though as most of the time the attacker gets the advantage. :-)

Hell, I've lost 20v3 battles b4, but have also won 15v25 battles, so again, it's all in the mind of the player. I am close to reporting my results for this site, and I can certify that they are fair.
