Who said that? You there, in the back row? Stand up so we can hear you!
Yes, that's a very good question.
Now, the DCRC has been searching an answer to this age-old question for years. So far we haven't found a single conclusive theory to explain it, but there are some hypotheses:
- The Dice Complainer gets some kind of emotional reward from his behavior. Some argue that complaining stimulates the part of the Dice Complainer's brain that is also responsible for the Complainer's false sense of superiority wrt. other players.
- Some believe complaining to be a type of mating ritual. The male Complainer asserts his authority and sexual prowess to the female Complainer. The female Dice Complainer only allows the most vocal and obnoxious Complainers to mate. We are not sure what kind of evolutionary mechanism could lead to such bizarre mating habits.
- Yet others claim to see a correlation to a psychological condition known as "Army of GOD Syndrome". The Dice Complainer sees himself as inadequate, possibly due to his diminutive stature, and thus projects these feelings of inadequacy to the intensity cubes, colloquially known as "dice". The act of complaining could be a defense mechanism to shield the Complainer from massive psychological trauma.
However, there's yet no conclusive proof, and further research is needed. The DCRC is currently looking for funding, but apparently sponsors seem to have some hang-ups about contacting DCRC via Serbia's wall.
