i think that the dice are stacked against me, i beleive that if there is handicapped in this game they should be dissabled. everyone should have the same oppurtunity as someone else

They are random from random.org

There are no handicaps and as Gilligan said, the dice are from random.org. Notice the word random? When they are random there are streaks of good-luck and bad luck. Over time they will even out. Though people tend to remember the bad luck more than the good. Of course if you want to make a difference you can make a sacrifice to the dice gods.

maybe. although there technically is a pattern in the dice rolled as programming "random" is impossible...it is very complicated and I doubt anyone has figured out to use it to their advantage

I just lost 12 onto two 2s. I was going to kill someone. I lost everything while he only lost 1 two.

Actually Random.org don't use a programmed random number generator, but a truly random source with special hardware etc. more info on there site.

suck it up, cupcake! Everybody gets bad dice sometimes.

ive experienced better dice against MUCH higher ranked people and bad dice against newbiew : \

I especially love those stretches of time when random.org makes it a special point to "randomly" give me "1's" consecutively and I forget what a "6" looks like.

But seriously man, we all go through the times when it seems we need a support group. You're welcome to join us on Thursday nights for grieving sessions. I'll make the Hamburger Helper!

You're pushing the wrong button. Seriously. If you push the "Attack" button you're more or less guaranteed to lose at least 2 attacks, more likely 20-30, especially if you're trying to nail some poor bastard with 1 army left (and 5 cards) to your 25.

Always "Auto-Attack".

Really.

Maybe you should have cut your losses before it got to that point. Sometimes you gotta know when to shut up and sit down.

Random doesn't mean fair.

Well, if was an elimination run as he seems to have implied, it might have not made sense to stop.

Really.

Never Auto-Attack

Really.

(unless you want to turn around and your force of 30 men are reduced to 3 with little apparent success in a matter of seconds.)

I use auto attack when I have enough armies to reinforce that terit from elsewhere if it goes wrong.

Since the odds are better attacking larger groups of armies, it's good for them.

Don't use it for attacking a single terit - too often have I lost 9 attacking 1 and wished I'd bailed out sooner.
