Level of luck indicator

Postby General K on Mon Jun 29, 2009 5:18 pm

Maybe I am being paranoid over the shit dice in CC...
I keep hearing it's even up for everyone.
I also hear some day you get shit dice some other days you get better rolls.

but all I am getting so far is the worst rolls any brain can't absorb.

the question is:

since rolls are random, is it possible to calculate the rolls per player game after game.
I know it is possible to calculate the numbers rolled in attack and defense, so maybe a "luck indicator" would identify the luckiest player in CC from the jinx...

at least it will demonstrate to me that I am not the only one getting screwed game after game to the extent that I am enjoying less this game.

something to discuss...

You know, not for nothing, but it seems like every few months or so you start a thread about the appalling dice you always seem to get. Yet you're a brigadier, and have been near the top of the scoreboard for some time. So, y'know, some of your dice must be okay. Maybe if you concentrate on the times you go 6v3 and don't lose anyone, or your defender dice put up a heroic struggle to defend a bonus, your CC experience would be happier.

Speaking as someone whose dice have been schizo over the last week or so, remembering the good times is what keeps me from hanging myself. Worth a shot.

You know CC does pull two streams of dice from random.org. One stream is true random and the other stream has the 10% extremes cut out, meaning a more 'normal' set of rolls. I am not sure what they do with the second stream but maybe you can get in on that. I know some plays are on the second stream.

That must be why your rank is a Brigadier, right...because your dice are so shitty? Give me a freaking break, whiner.

No, no. You are in fine company with those guys. Salt of the CC earth they are. You're more coherent than stevenwayne, far less annoying than sailorseal and unless you deadbeat games for fun, then probably more reliable than grimreaper. However, if you keep at it then you might actually get on to that Rainbow-infested monkey's list.

I thought you were the only one getting screwed. Yesterday I atttacked with 4, and killed a 10, a 15, a 20 rolling 2 v 20, and then with 1 army I attacked and took 3 more territories.

Agreed. Unless you've got the dice fix, you're not getting value for money

to all those who replied with a "stop complaining about dice you are a brigadier" I say you missed the whole point of this thread:

this is not just another whining thread!


I was asking if it was possible to have a "luck indicator", a sort of program that calculates the rolls in a way that shows the losses vs the wins and identify the luckiest person vs the worse.
it would be like a ladder to all players, so whether you are a brigadier or a chef you still can have the worst luck with a high rank or a great luck with a low rank.
rank has nothing to do with that request.

I know there are games with graphs that shows the amount of rolls per game (try AsoBrain for example).
for example if 6 rolled 10 times in defense the graph of defense goes up, and if 1 rolled more than 10 in attack the graph will stay low... that way you can scientifically clarify whether the rolls were unbalanced or not per each game.

can it be done?

You have always been my favourite ridiculously high ranked player who loves to tell the world how shit their dice are. It is an art you have down pat. Looking forward to more graphical analysis of how horrific your dice have been in the near future!

if you use the dice analyzer there's a dice roll simulator that can be used when you open it
it's based on your previous rolls
hope that helps

that seems pretty worthless... let me get this straight... you use a device that gives you possible dice rolls based on your previous random dice rolls? ok... yeah, still seems pretty worthless...-0

general k asked the mods if they could arrange a ''luck indicator''
i kept on topic and told him what i knew and that something similar is already there
no one asked if you thought it'd be a good idea or not so you can keep your ''pretty worthless'' comments to yourself

After every set of turns you should hurl yourself out of an upstairs window and see how often you bounce, you should soon ascertain how lucky you are on any particular day :D
