Wow. Dice-hackers. Just.... wow.
So I can kinda sympathize with shishy, since t'was my doubles partner Sultan that kicked the crap out of that 18 in the game in question.
link to the game if anyone's interested
There's a couple of things wrong with shishy's basic assertion:
1. that Sultan attacked somehow 'knowing' that he'd win out. This is false, and as noted above, trying to reduce an opponent's army stack is a widely-used tactic in doubles, especially doubles against good teams. Even with mediocre dice, he would've knocked that 18 down far enough that whatever plans you had for it would have been dashed.
2. Sultan's a business major, I'm an English major, and the concept of either of us hacking the dice is funny to the point of absurdity.
3. The exact same thing has happened to us quite frequently until we changed tactics to mitigate it. And the first time it happened, we too suspected foul play for a second or two. But you've been around the block, you've played loads of games, surely this isn't the first time your opponent has gotten some hot dice.
4. Finally, you make it sound like we've done this to you before, when in fact we've played one previous game against you, which you won. I didn't hear any claims of dice-fixing then.
If nothing else, thanks for making this thread. It's been a crappy last few days, and I needed a good giggle.
Good Gaming to all!!
