Why did I lose this?

FemmeFatale's turn
2slow defeated 4v2: 16 to 10 (6,2,3,5 to 4,6)
2slow defended 8v3: 15 to 15 (1,3,1,2,3,1,3,1 to 4,6,5)

Clearly, you were punished for switching away from the pic with the flag.

but it was a tie. Why did the underdog win?

i think that is hilarious that you used the word 'underdog' when rrroll has it as his icon.

Femme, change your pic to Sweet Polly Purebred and your luck is sure to improve. (meanwhile, ties still go to the defender, even against you)

Are you asking why as a matter of gameplay, or is that a more philosophical question? In gameplay terms, you lost because you had 1+3 = 4+1 = 5+2 = 7+3 = 10+1 = 11+3 = 14+1 = 15 total, and 2slow had 4+6 = 10+5 = 15. A tie. Ties go to the defender. An 8v3 loss is very rare, but if the odds are there for it to happen at all, it will at some point. That time it was to you...and that's where the philosophy comes in, and for THAT why, you're on your own.

I once lost an 8vs2. I'm not lying. With 8 dice i got a 9 (i know, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2).

I don't even remember what the 2 got, but it was more than 9.

The other day i tossed 5 dice, and they were all 4s. I grabbed my extra dice, tossed it, and it was another 4. @_@

Well, who cares...

A weaker man might be moved to re-examine his faith, if in nothing else at least the law of probability.

The question is if weighted random rolls are more fun than purely random rolls.

I'd pick the former.
