[let red go first only 50% in 1v1/poly]

Concise description:

• red seems to go first maybe 70-80% or at least more than 50% making it hard to want to join a waiting 1 v 1 or poly , especially given red knows the map better

Specifics/Details:

• insure it's truly random

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• people will be more willing to join waiting games

evidence??

I just checked my last 30ish Poly (3v3)

Red: 6
Green: 10
Blue: 1

Yellow: 2
Pink: 4
Cyan: 5

This ah "proves beyond ALL reasonable doubt" that GREEN is the problem, and that CC is absolutely racist against Blue people!!!
Red had 2 until the last 4 games I checked which were all red

Seriously though, I hope you are looking at HUNDREDS of games before even beginning to form a conclusion.
Before even beginning to take something like this seriously you'd have to have a rather large sample size. It should be much easier to disprove that people's lingering doubts about the randomness of our intensity cubes though

Someone jsut needs to be a doll, and find a player that has played 1000 poly games, and give us the stats. Pretty please?

I think he meant the one creating the game, i.e. red in the case of a 1vs1.
In your example 17 for host and 11 for guest.
I wont bother to check mine. I dont think it is true but in any case, 1vs1 sucks anyway, and in poly it doesnt matter much except on some extremely unbalanced map.

Specifics/Details:

• insure it's truly random

It should be close enough to random that you couldn't notice the difference unless you looked very carefully at a very large set of games. So if it is not, that is important to know. But it requires more than your recollection; you need to count up a decently large set of games (at least a couple hundred) and see how many times red goes first.

"Ensure", not " insure".

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

[archieball]

I'm convinced red always goes first.

[jdw35]

I am red. I can assure you that I go first 60% of the time, all the time.
