Its like football, if you lose a game you can blame it on dice (if both sides are considered equally strong), like you can blame the referee when its footballzynmaster wrote:it's been over 6 months of consistent mathematically impossible dice outcomes. it wasn't always like this. what's the deal. if you've been having shitty dice. then please chime in. it's ridiculous and i'm strongly considering not renewing after 16 years of playing this site and many more playing risk in general.
anyone know of another similar site or are they the only game in town.



Honestly, I've always felt like the dice are streaky as heck. Like, there have been a time or three where a damn cook has joined my game and beaten me 1v1 and taken a crapton of points off me. They played erratically and got the dice to go 3v3 across the entire board on the first turn, with no chance of comeback for me.zynmaster wrote:it's been over 6 months of consistent mathematically impossible dice outcomes. it wasn't always like this. what's the deal. if you've been having shitty dice. then please chime in. it's ridiculous and i'm strongly considering not renewing after 16 years of playing this site and many more playing risk in general.

"shitty dice"? Really? We've played lots and lots of times. Anyway, I took a look at my dice stats. On average I roll a 2.9 against all opponents. Against you, I roll 5.4!!! So maybe you do have a point. However, in the long run, it all evens out.zynmaster wrote:it's been over 6 months of consistent mathematically impossible dice outcomes. it wasn't always like this. what's the deal. if you've been having shitty dice. then please chime in. it's ridiculous and i'm strongly considering not renewing after 16 years of playing this site and many more playing risk in general.

No good alternatives for Risk, this one is the best of the Risk game sites.LabrendaBestla wrote:I can understand your frustration with the dice outcomes. Perhaps it's worth taking a break and exploring alternatives to reignite your enjoyment of the game. Has anyone found a good alternative site to play on?

What a crock of shit ...Take three dice and roll against 1 let me know how many times you lose 8 or more times in a row Ive been here 14 yrs it seems worse now than everjusplay4fun wrote:If you do not like the Dice, try a different game, like Chess. That way you can blame all losses on your own bad moves (or how good your opponent is) and not how the Dice work.
Part of the Fun of Risk is the randomness brought into the inherent nature of the game by dice. Life too has a random element, and it appears that some do not want to accept dice (by whatever algorithm is used) that do not ALWAYS (or even more often than NOT) work to our own advantage, and certainly NOT to our preference.
That should happen roughly 1 in 6500 times you roll 8 3v1's in a row. You've rolled 323.498 3v1's, which can be divided into 40.000 groups of 8. So as an enormous underestimate (as I'm completely ignoring the possibility of losing 4 rolls at the end on 1 group and 4 rolls at the beginning of the next), you expect to have lost 8 3v1's in a row at least 6 times during the 14 years you've been playing here.Barney Rubble wrote:What a crock of shit ...Take three dice and roll against 1 let me know how many times you lose 8 or more times in a row Ive been here 14 yrs it seems worse now than everjusplay4fun wrote:If you do not like the Dice, try a different game, like Chess.
