I just want to know how many people join 1v1 games and go 2nd.
I think out of 500 games, i went 2nd 450 times and im getting real tired of the advantage of even bothering to join these games considering alot of maps are based on going 1st, unless the 1st player has bad dice, you may as well suicide your men.

This is a issue that needs to be look at by someone who is intelligent ( Lack where are you}

But most of all it is a way for people to farm if they set up the games

I know i can set them up as well, but i dont

there's a solution you know, it's called being the one to make the game... other than that randomizing who goes first. *the screams of a blood thirsty mob can be heard in the distance* oh i appear to have attracted the dice whiners. i am sincerely sorry.

I must be getting all of the first turns that you are missing. :)

Actually, I'm not really sure what my breakdown is, but I feel it is pretty balanced, and maybe leaning toward more 1st turns--and I play mostly 1vs1 too.

Be cool if there was something that tracked it--I went through a spell where I counted my starts and it was like thirty three percent started in a pool of 110 games--then I just gave up keeping track--I never join a lot of games at one time as it seems when u do so the starts will trend one way or another

Would it be possible for someone to write a script to scour gamelogs of a given player and tally first/not first turns?

Streaks can be frustrating. I went on a streak of going second in one vs one 15 times in a row! Thankfully, I haven't had anything near that since.
