The Improbable Always Wins....WTF?

Postby MNDuke on Wed Jan 26, 2011 10:11 am

Why do the dice seem to have no basis in reality? The improbable always wins. The dice extremes that you expect to rarely see happen all the time do and the dice you'd expect to see are no where to be found. When did the probability of winning a 5v1 change to 10%, because that's where we seem to be now. The dice are so fucked up. Fix that shit already.

Well, I can never seem to kill 1's without losing 2 or 3, but it's always been that way for me, so it's nothing new. But I've also found that an extremely ballsy move will win more often than not. If I'm desperate for a 7 vs. 12 to win or something like that, it usually will. But again, it's always been like that for me.

That's what I'm saying...ffs, just attacked an 11v2 and went 0-6...that the hell is that shit? And then I'll take a turn drop 6 guys and kill two 2 stacks, a 3 stack and take another 2 off a 3 stack and lose only 1 man. :lol: God this site is bullshit.

QFT, few days ago lost 28v4, 29v13, and 13v3 in consecutive turns, only to pull out like a 9v20 with 6 leftover in the next. Way its always been, just go with the flow... ;)

for some reason I been struggling against single armies of late as well.

the other day I won 118 vs 135 and was pretty happy with 4 leftover. :D

in another game I lost 11 vs 1, losing 8 in a row and had to stop. :roll:

11 vs 1 is bad... but not completely ridiculous

winning 118 vs 135 is somewhat reasonable

118 vs 135 is around 50% chance of winning (52.52% even), not really lucky.

11 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def
10 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def
9 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def
8 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def
7 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def
6 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def
5 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def
4 v 1 = rolling 3 attacking dice to 1 def

That means out of 24 rolls of the dice he was unable to defeat 1 dice 8 times consecutively. Not sure what planet you are from, but that seems highly improbable to me.

Little known fact, I'm actually Karl Rove. They use to call me the Land Rover, since I roam around sputtering my exhaust of trite cliches/talking points.

=====================

I just had an improbable win. I'm waiting for my improbable loss now, as the system must now commence the mandatory dice-failure.

Why ARE you still here? I'm not trying to drive you off...I simply do not understand why someone would frequent a business that they are so clearly and so consistently angered and disgusted by. It'd almost certainly help your blood pressure if you left.

I knew there was a reason why I had you foed. Thanks for reminding me. You don't have to read these threads. Next time simply ignore them and move on. Pretend they don't exist. As for why I am still here...I have already paid for membership. It's not like I am paying for each time I log in. If I bought a year's worth of BigMacs and then they decided to change it to 1 patty instead of 2, I would still eat them, but would bitch that they aren't as good as before. DUH! I plan on running out the rest of my membership at which time I will not renew. Until then, I intend on championing for the dice to be fixed. You don't have to like that, but you sure as hell can shut up if you don't. Please go wonder back off into the ranks of the annoying where you so truly belong. There's probably a C&A thread you can chime in on.

Could you be more passive aggressive? Ugh. I hate to break it to you, but Vulcans aren't real and you aren't one of them as much as you pretend you don't have emotions. My perspective is clear. It seems it is you who need perspective. Passively aggressively attacking me is not asking relevant and critical questions. Now please, go play with Kirk action figures.

Heh.

Nominates response as "Best fora post of 2011" which, regrettably, isn't all that much of an accolade.

Not only the improbable but, the guy that (for example) has no idea he's playing an assassin game can tear through the map like it's nothing, only to lose cause he took out the wrong target in the process or weakened him enough to let his real assassin get him easily. Meanwhile, you can't even get a card bombarding singles.
