Your right about the covert randomness we enjoy at CC. But occasionally we are able to enjoy a game or two.
Go ahead and stick around.
Well, I think it was the official reaction that was the straw, not the dice themselves. But I thank you for your post, and feel the same about your posts throughout the years.
I think I should write something here.
Firstly, that was not an official reaction - it was my opinion and I posted it as a member of CC, not as a mod (thou you got confused, I understand that now). But that was me crying out loud of being tired of dice-complaints and all. Every time it came to something like "remove 1-die side of the die for attackers so we don't loose that much". People do not get joy when they don't see it - when your defense of 2 against 6 survived. You never know what could have happened or happened when you were away.
Let me tell a real life example:
Let's assume you are missed the last bus and was forced to go all the way to home by foot. You think this is unfair. But imagine that if you actually took the bus you would have been robbed (with 100% probability) on the bus stop. That way your miss of a bus is actually miraculous. But you cannot know it as you are no god. You always see 1 side of the coin.
So in the dice system... You joy when you roll 6-6-6, you cry when you roll 6-6-6 vs 6-6. But that stuff happens. Somehow people (by a human nature) tend to emphasize on bad things and not good ones.
Secondly, it is not me who locked the thread - I don't have mod rights to do so there. It was somebody from Entertainment team, or from Global Mods.
Thirdly, better luck to you, whether you stay here or decide to finish your CC career.
Dako.
Well, as your name is in bold, posting in the tech area that directly involves you, that was an official statement, whether you intended it or not. Keep that in mind next time. It is not me that is confused but you, if you think that was not an official statement. You are of course entitled to your opinion, and even to post it however, and to making mistakes.
The thread probably indeed should have been locked, especially if you as a Team CC person were posting as such. It is nice to know you didnt lock it yourself though. The combo of the post, and the locking at your post, did create a rather in-your-face message, that was at least surprising.
As far as understanding the dice, you're preaching to the choir. I was only ever commenting that I saw a change, and not even that they were more or less random, only that they have changed, and that the probabilities seem to be different. There was a little bitching in that thread to say the least, and perhaps on some level I was too, but I certainly was only adding my experience and reaction to the change, which surprises even me. I have many games still going, and have seen enough to stand by my posts in that thread as well.
See you on the 11-10-10
