I'm sorry Don. Did you do anything to piss off lack lately? He's known to take out grudges against players through unfair dice.
Once I called lack a smelly Canadian and he made me lose the next 10 rolls automatically! =(

I think you might have finally beaten my "record" (I once lost 33 to 1)
That is extreme. I don't know the probability of that happening, but even very, very, very, very improbable roll combinations will happen .. eventually. In my 3 years of being here, that is the most extreme example I have heard. BUT, think of all the rolls that happened in that time. You just got very unlucky. At some point, an even more improbable combination will likely occur.
Advice -- don't use "auto", unless you can afford to lose ALL your dice (all but 3 anyway). Beyond that.. chaulk it up for the record books!

How did you lose but still have armies left over?
Seems to me that you still won.

Ah, so he lost 40 armies to a 1... not that he lost a 40-1. So confusing.
Regardless, pics or it didn't happen.

It's these new pink dice to blame; I have nothing against pink per se, but my dice have been terrible all day - please bring back those marginally better non-pink dice.

Seriously. I've had my best dice in months with the pink dice. Then it went back to the old dice and I went back to losing.

Then you vastly increase your chances of getting a very good or very bad streak of dice , yet you still whine when it goes against you

So I was right the first time. You did not lose a 40-1. You won a 40-1.

Stop pressing auto assault.

I don't believe that logically follows, actually. Based on how the numbers are derived in each method, there should be no more likelihood of a streak with either method.
But what using auto-attack DOES do that hampers you is that it takes away your opportunity to say "this is going to shit, I need to stop now while I still have a numbers advantage". That can be a bad thing.
