You certainly do get good and bad. I had 10v3 to kill someone for a 60 trade and it ended up 1v1.
I went and jumped into a no card game where me and my team mate had 5 armies for him and 6 armies for me. the game is unrecoverable and I stuck my 3 on an area with 1 army and attacked a territory (suicide) with 7 armies on it. I threw 665, 656, 664, 545 and took the area. Fat lot of good that has done me. :evil:
The game is dead in the water ffs

No you dont!!!


If you have bad dice, that means the other person had good dice.

crucio!

back on topic...

well im not brilliant in 8 player esc games ill be the first to admit it. hence why i joined the 8 man madness tournament. im learning that type of game fairly quickly to the point where im giving them a run for their money. all things being equal and the dice gods favouring me on those crucial rolls i could be a major in next to no time if I had the time and patience to play speed games.

theres no difference between casual and speed


while there isnt much different in terms of strategy, there is a world of difference in the 'atmosphere' of the game. In the few speed games I have been in there is always some retard screaming blue murder at someone else because they dared to attack him/her. I do not have the patience to put up with that crap.

How can the top/bottom 10% be more/less RANDOM than the middle 80%?

I think he is talking about on a normal distribution curve. Since something like a yahtzee (5 dice all the same) is highly unlikely (0.08%) or a string of attacker rolling three sixes (0.46% each roll) mibi would probably like to see these removed from the incoming lines.

Cmon people :roll:



Just dont open them up and read them.........
Maybe, just maybe, if there is so many threads as such, maybe, there is thruth to all of them?
I was denying it but now after getting 3 days straight of a majority of bad runs (and quite a share of them since ive started here, which I thought was normal) im starting to believe the hype.
But i wont "complain" long, ill just leave the site if im not happy.
