actually there ended being one other important factor… when i evacuated i had to leave behind the 6 british units, which could’ve easily been smashed to pieces. but because he wanted to keep the territory blue to deny me a future fac, they were spared and i was able to go back for them the next turn.

Did you know you can increase the font size of your unit counters? Not that I want to improve your ability to crush.

@axis-dominion @mikawagunichi @Stucifer I laughed out loud reading this - I had some crazy luck against Mikawa, but was suffering hard against Stucifer this game until the last battle in east Med. Wow, that was a bloodbath.

@peirce 😄 It’s hard to communicate the jest/playful tone sometimes over text so please understand I am poking a little fun at our selective misfortunes at your (MARTI’s) hands. I got some brutal dice in our game with Japan so Germany was due for some mean reversion. 💀

Courtesy of my friend @mikawagunichi, I hope you laugh as much as I did!

LOL my pulse is pounding for the first dice I will be rolling against him soon
You can get the President to say anything you want? Where do you go to do that, please

[mikawagunichi]

@gamerman01 lol that probably wasn’t even a top 5 Peirce-themed meme that I generated, but not all are forum appropriate

[gamerman01]

@mikawagunichi You have more than 5???

[mikawagunichi]

@gamerman01 I think one per major dicing is appropriate…and now we know I’m not the only victim!

The site is call Parrot AI…I got a lifetime subscription like 2 years ago for $20 or something…then the site became useless for a while because they sped up the default playback speed and it still sounded terrible if you slowed it down manually, but now it’s back to pretty good quality.

Yeah those are really good. Glad to know about the site. That will be a lot of fun

@Stucifer @mikawagunichi Oh, definitely understand the humour - they were received in the spirit they were sent. The dice gods piss on the just and the unjust alike, we’ve all been there. Watching those videos made me laugh so hard that my wife came to see what the ruckus was about. She did not appreciate them as much as I did (understatement).

[peirce]

@mikawagunichi “He’s really good at getting statistically improbable dice.” Quite the reputation I’m burnishing here.

[mikawagunichi]

@peirce I’ve already started thinking of words that rhyme with “mean reversion”

[gamerman01]

I finally figured out some of MrRoboto’s charts and statistics in his statistics tab of the ELO rankings spreadsheet.

I changed the range of data to 1/1/24 - 6/30/25 to get the last year and a half’s snapshot.

Statistics like this can be very misleading, especially since these are just a composite of all games that have been finished since 1/1/24 and they are just averages.

Average PTV bids have been approximately 10 to the Axis over the past 18 months. The Axis win percentage has been 41.5%.

You may want to use the Player history search tab to analyze the success of some of your top players to get more reliable data, but according to the overall bids and results of the past 18 months… yeah.
-10 bids
41.5% Axis win%

[Stucifer]

Very good info! Some confirmation bias I’m sure but I’ve mostly seen the top players like Axis-Dominion, Ghost, and Adam accepting 14 bids. Granted that’s the last 6 months. The rest of us must be bringing the average down 😅

[gamerman01]

Yes, I’m having trouble making sense of it when going player by player. I’ll do a little more digging and update

The overall averages can be very misleading, it depends on who’s good at what and who takes what side.
