after seeing all the posts about the dice. I'm wondering if anyone has any dice rutuals they go through when getting bad dice. You know, like rubbing a rabbits foot on the monitor :lol:

I sort of have one. If I lose 3 rolls in a row (total 6 troops), I stop rolling, look at the clock and wait 3 to 5 minutes before continuing. I know it doesn't really make a difference, but I still do it. :lol:

haha yes
when ever i have a really important roll i'll say a chant/prayer :$

"God of the dice hear my prayer,
Bring me Red, Oh so fair!"

and usually it works, thus my continuing in doing it :$

sacrifice a virgin at the full moon and spin around thrice in your computer chair. Also read the Count of Monte Cristo.

You mean at new moon, at full moon you're sacrificing to the card gods.

And you'll want to be sure you're spinning clockwise. Anticlockwise will get you a good drop at the start of the game.

Note: this only works if you read the whole book between each and every dice roll. 8)

i almost never use auto attack and i click off the attack botton on a bad roll. i'll sit and wait if it doesn't feel right as well(same with real dice).
being and old D&D player and a pagan i do a lot more ritual stuff with real dice.

I tend to grab a baby from the orphanage and slowly crisp the skin. At the click of each dice, I poke the skin to see if it is cooked.

Now that is just gross.

i saw around here that people sacrifice 17 year old virgin's :shock: why? having sex with them helps your dice, not killing them :lol: and if it doesn't help your dice, at least you felt good about losing some armies :wink: :lol:

Every now and then, I spin around 3 times, do a backflip, and strike a pose before clicking auto-assault. That's just me, though. I'm sure. :)

What other dice rituals do you guys do, lol.

When I first started playing, before every roll, I'd knock on the wood of my desk and say something like "I'd like to succeed in this attack." Haha. I don't know if worked.

Sometimes, when I have an especially momentous turn to take, I find myself falling back into the habit.

When you click the (auto) aussalt button, turn off the monitor the same time..
