When did you last sacrifice a virgin to the dice gods?

It's just bad luck. Happens to everybody.

I'm sure there is someone out there who has gone first in 47 out of his last 60 games, so it all evens out.

Just looked up your games - your most recent 14 you are split 7 & 7 - that sounds about right - sometimes there are fluctuations but it always regresses to the mean - but you know - the more likely explanation is that there is a conspiracy against you.

create a freestyle game so you can at least go at the same time or real close

i have started about 100 two man games... i have gone second about 75 times during that span... is there any reason for this...??? does the person who starts the game have worse odds of going first...??? don't tell me it's just luck... because i have seen this WAY too many times for that...

You could go second in 1 million games and it could still be luck. I don't think it actually says how this is calculated though, the dice are from Random.org, maybe they use that for who starts first as well.

but last person to go does not get to go first the next round and the person who joins game has a time advantage unless he is constantly refreshing his page to see if someone joined
