Obviously I do. It's a forum that you bring in to replace the starting forum. Substitute forum.

But if they're bad for you, that means they're good for someone else, right? So they can be universally bad.

And that's why you and clangfield and everyone else who joined around 10 years ago are still here? It's not going to change, either you can shut up and play accepting that everyone gets the same dice or you can leave.

I think the fact that I have been here for ten years, complaining about the dice, is evidence enough that my choices arent limited to "shut up and play" or "leave".

I choose "play and complain".

Sometimes I wonder if this whole game is nothing but a complete waste of time. The results are often decided within 3 to 4 rounds, sometimes even in the first or second with shitty dice. Whenever you are attacking 7 vs. 3 is like no match!!! 7 gone within seconds. And 4 vs. 1, in 75% of cases you are bound to fail. Admins are not paying any attention to this shit? Why no steps are being taken to reduce the role of luck from the games and add a bit more to good strategies?? Totally worthless.....

If you had exactly the dice you wanted... 6's every time, never losing... It would still be a waste of time. that's sort of the essence of what a 'game' is.

Some of the more complex maps try to reduce the role of luck and make it more strategic. Maps like Conquer Rome. So do the tougher rules: things like no spoils, fog, trench, and adjacent or no reinforcements.

At the end of the day, though, what most people prefer are the wild, luck-driven dice games. Doodle Earth outplays Conquer Rome by a long shot, and escalating with chained or parachute forts beats no spoils with adjacent or no forts by a landslide.

The simpler, more luck-driven games are what most of our members prefer, but a more strategic kind of game is definitely available too.

I think the MODs really need to give a little more attention to the shitty dice issue. I have lost two ranks over last 4 days simply with poor dice rolls. Guess what, my average dice score has been 2.33 or something for the last 10 battles. No wonder I have lost 7 out of 10 games that I played in last few days. I guess people have complained quite a bit about this over exposure to luck where your personal skills or strategies mean very little. And what have been done so far to address this situation?? The Admin is not paying attention to it at all. Why???

My stat for last 10 battles:

7 1s

6 2s

3 3s

4 4s

2 5s

1 6

I mean, are you freaking kidding me???? I don't get this kind of poor turns in the real board game. This is a shitty system that the admins have here.

If you played the board game long enough, you'd get results similar to this, unless you're manipulating the dice in your favor.

Yes, i have played the board game long enough and I care to disagree with you. Of course I don't expect the dice to go on my favor all the time, but I also do expect it to stay at a rather balanced status which makes sense. in the real board, it does. I have lost many battles in a real risk game attacking 3 troops with 10. But this didn't happen for 15 games in a row. I mean, who are you kidding with?? What is happening here at CC is completely unreal. In almost 80% cases, I fail to take a territory occupied by 3 troops while attacking it with 7. Thats so full of shit.

i remember your first post in the forums, like it was yesterday:

Subject: Groups

The Lost Warrior wrote:Hello everybody,

This is my first day here and I am simply impressed with this site. I guess I was looking for something like it for a very long time and finally got it.
:)

Anyway, I have a question regarding forming up groups or alliances. I know this might be a very common question but since I am completely new here, so I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with it.

Is there any hoe it is possible to form clans (or team) in a game and play against other teams?


and now here you are, this jaded broken player, ranting on and on about the dice... the new car smell has worn off the site for you... the black jesus is heartbroken... the black jesus has spoken...-Jésus noir

some tips on getting that NEW SITE SCENT back!!!

Even I don't remember about this post dude! You really amazed me. But yes, I am really frustrated with the results of my battles over the last 4-5 days. Totally unacceptable. Don't you think something should be done to reduce the game of luck here??

Dice are random. The reason so many players think they're rigged is down to how your brain works. Ie you tend to notice when you've had a bad beat and it sticks in the memory, however all the times you have average or good luck with the dice you don't notice and quickly forget about it.

Unfortunately that logic works with x-gf's too!
