Is it possible for the dice to be 'bugged'?

I know the dice outcomes for each game are determined randomly by a site( I forget the name, it's mentioned in the rules, I think? #-o ) and I was wondering if its poissible for the dice to be bugged ( since the outcome is decided by a site, which can be messed with)...


I've been getting real shitty roles lately..(not that I'm blaming the site for this :oops: :roll: )

There are no listening devices in the dice.

:D

Try the dice analyzer out. It's kind of cool to see the deviation (and not in that hot stache loving kind of way). Over time, it should average out. It does seem to go in streaks, though. I just had a trips game where I rolled over multiple continents in one or two turns. The dice just went my way. I've had games where i couldn't seem to win much of anything. It's just like that.

I really am beginning to doubt the randomness of the dice.

I think it should be checked.

I mean, yesterday i tried to kill 21 troops with 47 and failed, that is really not likely.

It was really weird, i kept losing at least 4 armies all the times trying to kill 1.

And today was really weird.

game 129219.
In the last turn i killed around 120 armies while loosing less than 20.

I auto-attacked with 30 on 19 and had 29 left, auto-attacked with 40 on 25 had 37 left.

What are the odds?
Smaller than winning a lottery.

No, the odds are larger than winning a lottery.

You attack so many times that crazy rolls are bound to happen, because the dice are random.

I've been using the dice analyzer for awhile. Here's what I've had so far:

It goes back and forth over time...sometimes I'm throwing LOTS of 6s (like now) and sometimes the defender is. I'm no mathematician/statistician (though there are several here), but it looks okay to me.

Anyone with better math skills want to weigh in ?

look the odds of killing 23 men and losing 0 are:1 in 191507 !!!!

Ok, the lottery is 1 in 17 million but still.

And look at my dice analyzer, it was under the expected value yesterday, and today:

Maybe it is worth checking out
