I found a page that shows all my dice rolls, totally even across the board.
ok, if its true, probly is, the only reason I can see the dice being crappy and still look even is for all those time when I lose 6-10 guys in a row killing a single, I win huge somewhere, evening out the dice rolls.
Many times I have killed unthinkable numbers of armies with only 4 guys.
So, I can see the dice evening out.
But killing 20/25 guys with 4 just doesnt happen using actual dice, nor does losing 10 guys killing a single.
altho both can happen of course, the odds of it happening any where near it happening as it does with an algo have got to be close to impossible.
so its not the average dice rolls that are crappy, its how the average dice rolls happen that is lousy.

I wonder if recognizing this difference would take human understanding, over AI or just taking a pewter record at face value?

If anyone can recall the Twilight Zone, I can see an episode where dice algoes would be the first clue as to how AI is going to treat humanity.
Hawkins has already voiced his concerns. lol

I've never killed 25 guys with 4. I wish I could live in your world.

I think the problem - that armati touches on - is that CC's random number generator that it uses for the dice is inconsistent because it isn't powered by AI, but is actually run by a couple of hundred Indian data inputters tapping away frantically. So sometimes when you roll a big auto roll (e.g. 78 vs 54), there simply aren't enough of them to keep pace properly and one or two of them end up lazily chucking out 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1 because it's easier to do that quickly than to produce properly varied number strings.

That's the trade-off though - wealth creation in an under-developed country vs reliable dice for online game. Which matters more to us? Who are we as a group of people? It's time to decide.
