The Plough defended 7v5: 14 to 22 (1,2,1,2,1,4,3 to 4,5,4,3,6)

then i attack a bunch with my other territories and get 8 dice on a territory...
not much i can do cause this other guy has 7 on a territory but if i take that i can pretty much win...

danceable defended 8v7: 18 to 32 (4,1,2,4,3,2,1,1 to 1,4,6,6,6,6,3)

i get 3 1's he gets 4 6's, and fuzzycat if you plan on saying that i only remember the bad rolls, dont even post,
both these rolls could have won me the game but this always happens to me...and i cant even remember how mand 3v2 and 2v1's
i lost after that...

Some might describe that situation as "gay" or "homosexual" but you should know that there is 723.66888% chance of that happening in every game you play in let alone one singular game in your life.

The problem is probably your username - that's the exact sequence of code needed to modify the random function code to decrease the result by about 9%. You're lucky you didn't name yourself (99-_-)99.

Semagon,

There are enough people that will take you seriously that we may start seeing players named something similar to:
(99+_+)99

I know, I'm being snarky this morning :) I too felt like kdice gods were against me, it seemed after the reset I couldn't win a thing, but then I can't count how many times I cheered when someone lost a 6 to my 4. If the random function is broken, it's broken for _everyone_ equally.

(9-_-)9 the bad rolls are because of your bad karma.

I was hoping someone would make a program that they feed game logs and it would compare the roll %s to the wiki probablility table. After about 30 games it wouldn't be accurate but it'd be reasonable way to compare to the table.

After the new ranking system came in, last was my most common position. I kept finding myself unable to play even at the 1500 tables. I lost rolls that I shouldn't have lost, and generally got so pissed off I was ready to walk away from the game as my bad luck was pissing me off that much.

I decided screw it though, I enjoyed the game enough to donate, I should just stop taking it so seriously. It's amazing how my "luck" changed so radically since I decided to stop getting upset when I lose games or dice rolls. I'm currently sitting at my highest ELO ever, and have broken in to the top 100 players.
