Stereotypes are typically based in reality...have you ever been to a university computer lab?

I believe I understand the reasoning behind this...and I believe the reason people come to believe this, is because on a good roll, there are typically fewer rolls, and fewer intensity cubes thrown...but on bad rolls, many more may need to be thrown, which can cause a little lag..which seems to imply the slow computer caused the bad dice...but I am pretty sure that while they are connected, it is the bad dice which is causing the slow connection.

Technically, a slow connection could mean you get worse dice, because others who click before you get good dice....but that same argument can be used for better dice, because over time, it doesnt matter how fast you get the dice...they are simply going to average out over time.

I've always had that same assessment.... but certainly not because the dice caused my lag. lol... when I click attack, I see three attack and 2 defend dice. I count 5 total dice and 1 roll.

The generator is based on atmospheric noise, so everything around you affects how the dice are generated. I don't know much about it but can only assume that lag is the cause and not vice versa.

The reason the dice are causing the lag, is because they are processing more. If you attack 100 vs 2, If you win on roll one, 5 dice are thrown

If you lose, 500 dice may be thrown, which will take more time, and thereby cause a slight lag. The lag isnt affecting the dice, the roll is affecting the rolls. The atmospheric noise is taken from the atmosphere, not the noises around you. Nothing around you affects the dice. Not to mention, that the numbers have been generated long before you get to them, and compiled, and sent out as a list, and stored as a program.

Further, it is the server that is calculating and processing the rolls, not your computer. Your computer is simply asking it to make the roll, and then the server simply sends the results. It just takes a little longer if you lose, and takes longer if there are more rolls. It wouldnt matter if your computer stalled for an hour, the roll was calculated by the server the second the request was made, and was not in any way influenced by what your computer was doing during that time.

And more importantly, the outcome of the dice wouldnt be affected anyways...slow or fast, the rolls are the same...you can get some bad rolls quickly, and you can get some good rolls slowly...all it has is a list of numbers to work from, it cannot distinguish between good rolls or bad, it just send them out and where ever they may fall, you win or lose. Its simply impossible to affect them with your computer.

Oo yes, offcourse...

I think you should try to let your media player play Spandau Ballet, then switch your firewall off, log in on a proxy, click 5 times on 'my games', and then auto attack a big stack !
If you do that, your dice will be even better ! :roll:
