Translated: After lackattack fixed the server I started a load of arms race casual games. These games were the same settings as I'm comfortable with and I used the same tactics that had previously given me success. Well, I'm sorry to say that I believe there is a new problem with the dice generator... I've had a 550 point drop in only three days! So, I'm weak now and you can come and get my points... if you dare Watch out, though, I'm on a mission to get all of these points back.

I wonder how many different threads have been started to bascially bitch about the dice.
It's gotta be in the hundreds by now... no?
They all say the same thing too.
"I am not as bad as my score/title indicates... so these dice must be defective."
or
"These dice are defective... I just lost SOME HUGE NUMBER versus some small number. That is extremely unlikely... and even though it is possible I don't believe it because I have no concept of statistics. Therefore, since I can't understand basic statistics or understand basic math, I have to believe the dice are f***ed up."

Think that about sums it up?
I never thought about it that much, but it probably is in the hundreds. If one came out a week, we would have 200 threads in the past 4 years. Probably more than on a week at times, but I wonder if there were less early on as there were less people, therefore less threads. I think a hundred might be reasonable. However I do recall some of them being merged some time back, before the mods gave up on trying to have one dice complaint thread.
I hate dice complaint threads as much as the next guy... however, can anyone explain the odds of a 12 v. 1 and losing 11 or 12 v. 2 and losing 11? Because I had those two things happen to me last week on the same day in different games. I'm not saying the dice are broken; just wondering what the odds are based on the random intensity cube generator we've got going on.
