Dice bitching threads

[jleonnn]

I kinda thought of something... If people complain so much about bad dice and put up all these bitching threads there has to be someone benefiting from it... So the dice isn't bad...

Said the man who was bitching about dice in his war thread

The dice may come out fairly even in the long run, but we tend to focus on the short run when the dice go to hell and you end up down bunches of troops. Seems most of the people I chat with are superstitious about dice... I might be a little bit

That's hitting the nail on the head. How many times have you been in a game where the first couple of rounds have decided the game due to bullshit dice streaks and then later you get insane dice, but the game is well out of hand at that point. Happens way too much.

Master Fenrir sums it best "I have noticed that true "good games" are an extreme rarity. It's usually one team raping the other. Victories are hollow and meaningless, and losses are infuriating. As a clan player, this means that clan war wins are hollow and meaningless and clan war losses are infuriating. I honestly don't see a point to any of it anymore."

Personally, my dice have always been bitchin'.

I recently came across an Scientific American article about "Pervasive Optimism Bias". "According to psychologist Daniel Kahneman, in his 2011 book Thinking, Fast and Slow, 'people tend to be overly optimistic about their relative standing on any activity in which they do moderately well'."

I wonder if the opposite end of the spectrum, that is, some sort of "Pervasive Pessimism Bias" has a role to play when it comes to our perception of the dice.

Hm...

Our brains aren't really built to understand randomness. Which is why we get so many people whining about the dice...

Hit the nail right on the head,this inability leads to the misunderstanding of much more than just dice..

talk is sweet, facts count

Facts may be fuct, but they definitely can't count.

I just lost 11 armies reducing a 3 spot to a 1.
Shit Happens and we have to accept it.

In the karmic realm of "intensity cube" rolls, I've had some
bitchin' hot dice recently too, but rarely notice it since that
just feels normal... like the way dice should be.
