Worst luck ever

by **Grifter** on Fri Jul 17, 2009 9:40 pm

Anyone want to admit to having the worst luck ever at attacking a territory with just one army on it? My record in futility was to lose 5 armies doing so. I usually estimate to lose at least one army attacking in this case. I like to have at least 6 armies to start with before attacking one. This will allow me to lose twice and still be able to do a full 3 vs 1 attack.

The first time I had really bad luck I got upset. Now I just accept that luck goes both ways - sometimes really good

and sometimes really bad

but most times just average 8-)

I set a new record with 7 loses vs 1.

Your concept of "ever" seems a tad skewed.

I had a 50+ stack, but I lost 15 in a row to a 1. My dice are odd. I can take down 7's and 9's all day long with 5's, but my armies crumble against 1's on a pretty regular basis.

I'm the same way. And when I'm sure to win a game I'll finally start winning those 3v2s. I get confused.

Good times, good times...

16v3v3 -> 2v3

Immediately won that 2v3.

Dice is odd...

I just lost eight attacks where I had the advantage... NO SPOILS!
Talk about the game stacking it for a particular player (or stacking against someone).

What a f'in joke!!!

Well I am not sure what your concept of worst luck ever is...but a chap I knew walked into the road on a crossing one day and was killed by a bus driven by a drunk driver...I suppose in the grand scheme of things this might be considered slightly worse luck than your losses...

A guy I worked with got hit in the eye with a trampoline spring and lost his sight.

Up your rank, up your game count, and I'm 100% sure you'll have worse to complain about than losing 5 against 1.

clearwater fl and I lost a tourney doubles game, that was a perfectly executed escalating game with two other teams...we had the thing all cleared, with a half hour on the phone discussing it as we went, and one of the last attacks to win it was a 6 to 1.

We lost. We had nearly a 98% chance of winning....theoretically.

I played an epic dubs game on 2.1 against keyborn and his son that unfolded just that way... I killed my teammate, cashed, went on a killing spree and had like a 7v1 to take out keyborn and cash again and win, and bricked... still rankles me, and this was like a year and a half ago.
