Forget the points, FIX THE ROLLS

I should never see two 6v3 lose in one turn; statistically, the odds of me seeing that 2 out of 2 times, let alone back to back, are 6 in 10,000.

This is just one example of the ridiculousness of the rolls. How many 3v2, 4v3, and 5v4 have you people lost with a 70%+ chance of winning?

Ryan you are ignoring the main component of a a dice game... why?

I dont think the dice are the real reason you keep losing. You just FAIL

^^ next game, my second attempt at a 5v2, statistically, should happen 1.5 times out 10,000 times.

Um, I don't think that's how conditional probability works.

You need a bigger sample. A much bigger sample.

Can someone confirm that Ryan uses only one random number generator? You could do a test on runs!

i think losing 5v4s is a good part of the game...

but maybe... if you both roll the same number of dice... the attacker wins?

giving the attacker more of an edvantage...

discuss

In a real world situation, its easier to defend territory if you occupy it. So, I think the defender should win a tie. (I believe thats what Soda was talking about)

ikdst's turn
neutral defended 7v4: 14 to 14 (2,2,1,1,3,3,2 to 2,6,1,5)
Bedevere defended 3v3: 9 to 10 (4,3,2 to 3,2,5)

Here is just one example.. my past few days have been wrought with losses like this.

I don't know what's going on, but when I lose 6v3 5 effing times in one night -- something is up.
