All I'm saying is, if you lost an 8v1 in a real life board game you wouldn't stare at the dice and accuse them of being loaded. But if it happens on CC, it's not possible you got bad luck. Nope, the mods hacked the dice.

Don't let them know what we did

Happens all the time when I play board games, not sure what's going on at your place.

What i mean is the dice in real life are based on "dice" you roll them, evenly weighted little blocks that provide nicely random results.. The worst i have ever lost in a game of risk is around 7 or 8 - 1.

Whereas on here the dice are based on that silly silly website random.org.. Based on solar activity or some nonsense.. For some reason i don't truly trust my dice rolls based on that. And as a result i have had some dice you would never EVER get in a game of "real" risk..

Not at all. From what I read, mets was saying "Dice complaining happens on CC but not in real life", while I responded with "Dice complaining happens in real life too, at least when I play games".

...freestyle RISK games.
...playing nekkid, well, I've done it once with my friends, but we were really drunk.
...playing board games when you're 'on the clock'. (getting paid)
...people treat me like a princess.

When I say "dice complaining," I don't mean getting upset about a bad result. Dice complaining on CC has a special tinge to it, namely the implication that the dice are rigged or unfair.

playing on all these awesome boards

games lasting months

Winning world domination games! It has been many years since I've played in person, and I can't quite remember the last game of Risk I won.

All the time...however, no one usually complains about the dice being fixed in the real world...usually

years

People don't usually go out and play 4000 games against people who have no idea what they are doing.

Canadians using military force.

JoshyBoy gets girls to talk to him

People falsely claim they are dying and then leave.

I can troll people without showing my intention because the trollees can't see me laughing.

'You attacked Siam from Western United States.'

'You have captured Siam.'

In real life you could throw those dice for 10 years and never manage that.

Or, to dull the point: American troops emerging victorious from combat with a third world country.

1v1 is not just a fight, it's a war!
Australia is important.
Being a king of herpes is worthy of a medal.

This one is EXTREMELY common. But, the "playing side by side", is of course not.

People fighting and winning wars without anyone dying.

Thousands of competetive people playing games together with only moderate non-game disagreements.
