A suggestion to all the dice complainers

If you're going to keep complaining, and you really believe that your dice are unfair, at least be a little scientific about it. Get a piece of paper and a pen, and log your rolls.

Like this:

Win 2:

Win 1 loose 1:

Loose 2:

Leave space between each, and start logging every roll. You can just make lines, and put the slash through every fifth time. (note, this is slightly different from a dice analyzer, which just tells you how many 6's, how many 5's, etc. This would tell you how many times you win 2, etc)

I would be amazed if anyone did this for 200 rolls and still complained about their dice. Feel free to post your results here, after at least 100 rolls logged. I'm curious to see too.

Other than the dice analyzer? One that counts rolls won and lost?

Yeah but having them do it by hand makes them realize that it is not worth it so they should just shut up and deal.

Oh, I guess I need to change my suggestion then. I am a little old school though. I was going to suggest that people use a chisel and stone tablet, but I figured nobody would go for it; so I went modern and suggested paper instead.

One more reason for people to do this on paper. It would force a person to recognize the times when they go 6-0 or 10-0, which people never seem to mention in their dice threads.

But those are good outcomes George, why would we complain about them?

True. And you actually have something to complain about after that game we just played. My dice were awesome that game.

According to that you've attacked 1vs2 624 times. Would you like a game?

I have indeed, but perhaps you missed that I win 1v2 a whole 0.78% more than is statistically expected.

OK, let's play a game where you agree to only attack 1vs 2 with your awesome %, I'll just play normally. Just to check the results, you understand? Can't say fairer than that...

On closer inspection, I have actually rolled 1v2 a total of 846 times. The second number is losses, not the denominator.
