ITT: convince Army of GOD that there is a "dice problem"
I've heard this term thrown around in a bunch of threads and have no idea what the hell it is.

Re: ITT: convince Army of GOD that there is a "dice problem"
The problem with the dice is that they are random*. People don't understand randomness, so they complain about it.
*OK, not really, as has been discussed in another thread. But close enough, I suppose.

Re: ITT: convince Army of GOD that there is a "dice problem"
I think the problem is that the dice seem to be very "streaky". For me at least, I seem to often have a bad-luck streak followed by a good luck streak, or vice-versa. I'm not sure if it's really supposed to happen as often as it seems to happen.

Re: ITT: convince Army of GOD that there is a "dice problem"
This one/many times the dice didn't go the way I wanted them to; therefore, the dice are problem.
The debate is over.

Re: ITT: convince Army of GOD that there is a "dice problem"
I convinced my dice that there was an AoG problem. It was really weird, since the d10s had a problem with not being a truly Platonic solid. I now only roll 5-dimensional Platonic Solids.

Had a stack of over 60, attacked a neutral 10 and lost 30 troops doing so. Also spent six rounds attacking a 7 with an 11 stack, a new stack every round, and never won. Opponent deployed 5 and took 7 regions in first turn. Rolled 91v86 and finished 2v11. Lost 18v2. Can claim it's random all you like but that shit doesn't happen on the board.

Players have been complaining about the dice from the beginning...CC has been trying to fix the dice from the beginning or at least claiming to have fixed the dice.

Nobody has said that, and that argument is very old. Keep up.Army of GOD wrote:So randomness is that things should occur as they're expected to occur?

There is proof in this forum. I don't care enough to find it just to prove to a troll that the dice are not random.

Re: ITT: convince Army of GOD that there is a "dice problem"
The problem is the dice are cutting me no slack
in a few of my games. Recently lost seventeen
armies killing four armies while managing to
conquer two regions.
SO IT GOES.
No bitching here... it's all part of the game.

Re: ITT: convince Army of GOD that there is a "dice problem"
According to ztodd, the fact that you "lost 18v2" is evidence that the dice aren't random. I'm assuming that's because losing 18v2 isn't expected.

Nowhere does he use the exact phrase "dice problem" and he more closely agrees with the sentiment that it's not random.ztodd wrote:iAmCaffeine just gave pretty solid evidence- assuming it is true- how strong of evidence do you need before you will accept it as proof?Army of GOD wrote:Proven?
