Should people who question the dice be hanged for treason...

It should be Hung

[Georgerx7di]

People will bitch, I voted to hang them, and yet I complain. But I think your wasting your time explaining deviation to people. People who really believe the dice are against them are the same type of people who believe in government conspiracies and read the inquirer, (not sure on the spelling).

Sorry, yeti is right:

Originally these words were pretty much interchangeable, but “hanged” eventually came to be used pretty exclusively to mean “executed by hanging.” Does nervousness about the existence of an indelicate adjectival form of the word prompt people to avoid the correct word in such sentences as “Lady Wrothley saw to it that her ancestors’ portraits were properly hung”? Nevertheless, “hung” is correct except when capital punishment is being imposed or someone commits suicide.

If you don't question the dice, then How can we know they are fair? How can we expunge the ignorance of probability and statistics? How can we trust the dice are right?

I see two reasons why "bad rolls" are so much more noticeable than good ones.

1. When you roll good series, it is usually mixed up with advancing and more attacking, so the rolls are broken up by other events, and you tend not to notice that you just took 10 territories with 11 troops.

2. When you loose your troops you are done with the battle. So you don't get a chance to keep rolling to bring the "average" up. You have to throw on a couple of extra troops to account for a lucky run by the defender.

Hanging is too good for those bastards. They should be drawn and quartered.

Just so everyone knows, that is when a person gets tied to two horses, ropes around the ankles and wrists. The horses start pulling, and the person gets sliced. Fun times.

Dices are to be adored and groveled before, not questioned! If we hang enough of those heretics, maybe dices will be mercyfull to us.

OMG!! The plural of dice is die!!!!!! You have insulted the dice gods....now we have to sacrifice a virgin. I hope you're happy.

Actually kwanton, die is singular while dice is plural.

The way I look at it is...sometimes the rolls go your way...sometimes they do not...that is the luck in the game. The strategy is knowing when to stop before you deplete your forces completely....this I have not mastered yet.

Ok, whining a little bit is perfectly understandable. When people start cursing repeatedly, then it gets annoying. I think the dice are great. In war, its perfectly possible for a small force to hold off a large army (300 anyone?). And a valiant defense of a country makes you wanna wonder what the people of that country have that makes them so good. I remember playing real life risk with my friends and laughing about how the yakuzas and ninjas in japan held off 3x their number. So hang the persistent whiners.

What about for questioning the cards? In game 386771, I went 19 rounds and got 0 blue cards the entire game (we were using flat rate). If I had gotten just two blue cards, I could have won that game.
