G40L Eggman (Allies +4) vs MiamiUMike (Axis) - Match 3!

[Eqqman]

@miamiumike:

Yeah- finally a hit!

A hit! A palpable hit!

[miamiumike]

I have to take a break from this game. Sorry. The dice are so bad right now, that I cannot continue to play for a bit. You have had so much luck of late - this isn’t even a game between two people playing with strategies - its a total dice job that you are winning 100% of the time.

I know I complained before - and for that I am sorry. But I have had it with this game and your luck in it. The dice have been 100% one-sided most all game. We have been here before, but its time for a break. This isn’t even fun anymore, and when it reaches that point, well, you know.

If the dice were even remotely close - even heavily favored for you, that is fine. But they have been about the worst I have seen in a long time for a LONG time in this game. So - I am taking a week break from this game.

Take care and good luck in your other games.

Meant to say you and me.  :-)

[miamiumike]

I don’t even mind bad dice - they happen. What makes this no fun is when bad dice happen over and over and over - and its all one-sided. Eggman can beat me with his ability to play alone - I cannot win against that and stupid dice. And for most of this game, that is what we have seen.

I know it is no fun for Eggman to hear me bitch about the dice either - and for that I am sorry as I said before.

Going to post Japan - since there really isnt much happening…
