I find that when the dice cheat me the best thing to do is sit in the middle lane of a motorway and play with a packet of razor blades.

Bad Dice

Post by skipper john »

I begin every attack with -2. Every attack, every turn, in every game... for the past 10 games or so. I always pay at least 2 for 1 from then on. How is this possible? That isn't just bad luck. That is bad programing!

No its bad luck !
Do you think the entire site stops while you take your 10 turns so the dice can set up a sequence to screw you, its random !

Impossible! When I role a -2, most often -2's follow till I run out of troops. There is nothing random about that. Perhaps there is an "asterisck" after my log in name that the computer recognizes? There is something other than "random" going on here!!!!!

Since they started using random numbers! Oh wait, rereading that, that was sarcastic, wasn't it <_<

It's called bad luck, everyone has it every once in a while, few people I know have had bad luck streaks over 20-30 games, but then had good luck for quite a few afterwards.

Get over it.

It is random. You are forgetting the fact that there are over a hundred THOUSAND people playing - all rolling dice.

Some people are going to have streaks of bad luck. It's called statistics. Go out and learn some math and chances before complaining.

Like I said, get over it. The numbers are random, but with as many people playing as there are, some people are going to get screwed on the dice.

Option A) Im having a run of bad luck.
Option B) A computer generated string of numbers is picking on me.

Its a tough decision :lol:

You are missing a vital point in all this Joe!

Professor Hans-Jeurgen Hamman of the Stuttgart University dicovered what he coined as the 'Santa Claus affect'!

The S.C.A. is a little like karma in essence but with the vital variable of psychokinesis.
Very simply put and in context; Skipper feels responsible for a certain amount of his own negative behaviour! i.e. Santa or 'fate' in this case, will not reward the badly behaved.

As such his 'guilt' is having an adverse effect upon the number matrix. The negativity within his consciousness is transfered via the electrical impulses in his neurological pathways and is translated into a multi-platform, somewhat, metaphorical binary.

This in turn gives the negative 'luck' due to perception of its inevitability and indeed due to the users belief that they do not warrant success.

Hamman also found the same S.C affect was true to physical dice rolling; the 'hot streak' being its antithesis!

I've been following these dice threads a little bit since I joined and all I have to say is that I've rolled 5 and 6 consecutive numbers (that is, rolling x number 5 or 6 times in a row) at least 7 or 8 times since I started playing. (Maybe 20-30 games)

I understand statistics and variance and the Gambler's Fallacy and other associated concepts but some of these results are so out there as to defy explanation.

The discussions about the RNG site returning multiple results over a series of clicks seems not only reasonable, but downright likely.

I could literally sit here and roll dice for the rest of my life and not roll six ones in a row, several times over, within a limited sample of 1,000 rolls. It's just not going to happen.

Oh well. I guess I've spent 25 bucks on worse things.

?

Sample of 1000 rolls, and you'll roll 6 1's likely at least once, possibly several times.

Also, if anyone truly has complaints that the numbers aren't random, go complain at random.org. That's where it all comes from, so blame them and get them to change if you want. They'll tell you the same thing we've been telling you.

I have my doubts it is Random.org. I also have my doubts this site is completely protected against malicious programmers and hackers. I have seen threads about people hacking the site more than once.

Don't get me wrong i'm not saying i understand all the programming hullabaloo, but i do believe it is possible for someone to manipulate the dice between Random.org and CC.

BTW - it's dice not dices. dice is the plural of the word die.

Not in a row you probably won't. Much less several times. That's just math.

Yes, I get it about random.org. I'm just of the mind that somehow multiple results are getting sent from the database they use for this site.

And frankly this argument doesn't fly when I've paid my money to this site. *shrug*

Yeah, sorry, I sometimes forget that sarcasm meters are in short supply these days.

On topic: If I may be so bold, good sir, might I suggest planning for bad dice? Have an idea of what you will do when you start getting a few bad rolls. Also, auto attack is very much a bad thing. I, furthermore, suggest using simply the attack button. That way you only lose 2 armies at once.

The poor guy is going to think one of these things actually exist.

There isn't a way to manipulate the numbers between random.org and here because we pull them over in one top secret batch and store them on our server, so unless you actually hack into our server there isn't a way to manipulate the dice, so fret not for they are safe ;)

(p.s. if a dice hack does exist, can I please have one, my score sucks!)

Of course if you were able to do that I doubt that you would give yourself better dice and instead just, y'know, steal a boat load of money from CC...
