shitty dice post

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.

CC is by far and away the best there is.

We have not a thread for a long to complain about The DICE.

I GUESS it is time for a few complaints.

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 football

You get very happy if you get good dice - very dissapointed / frustrated if you receive bad.. -thats life

If you get bad dice you can either complain about it or take it on the chin, shrug your shoulders and mutter to yourself - 'Well that's random.org for you'.

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.

It happens, but not enough for me to quit the game. You have to remember that for every time that happens, you are probably going to get insane dice against an opponent somewhere else. It evens out in the end. The loses just tend to be the most memorable because they're the ones we get irritated about. :lol:

There are certain other Risk games out there and I've seen people complain about the dice and threaten to leave on those too. I don't think there is any RNG game out there where people don't get mad about RNG. It's the nature of the beast. I've tried out a few of them and from my perspective CC has better gameplay.

"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.
