@Boldfresh:

that was a RIDICULOUS dicing anyway.� i mean completely stupid dicing.

you haven’t seen ridiculous dicing until you lost a 99% battle like I just did against another player.

you attacked when the odds weren’t in your favor, with inferior dice. in the first round you hit 3 under and I hit 2 over, well within the standard deviation for that many dice rolled. after this, the odds went worse in your favor so if you pressed again that’s just “rolling the dice” so when “averages” come up again in round 2, there’s nothing to complain about. In round 2, you hit exactly that, average, when decimals were rounded up in your favor.

if you really wanted to eliminate some of this “ridiculous” dicing, you would not have brushed off my observation the triplea random generator is flawed. I’ve already had too many 1 in a million dicing events in the very few sample size I’ve played in the past month. since you have more seniority among this forum, maybe if a group of players bringing this up to the triplea makers might help to resolve this in the future.

i really don’t mind. and no i don’t believe the dice generator is “flawed” i get these type of dice regularly in real life so…. i seem to be prone to incredible bad luck :lol:

this will now be a fun game. trust me, you were DEAD in the water before that dicing. so it’s all good. :-)

boldfresh

99% battle… lol

2 inf, arm against an inf? lol that’s nothing to even bat an eye at for me. it don’t matter to me unless it’s a huge battle like the one in ukr - that’s when it leaves a mark. :lol:
