Unfortunately, I'm going to try to leave out the details since describing anything in a report is heavy on the basics. And I don't think many are going to give a shit about it. The assignment was just write about whatever the hell you want (just a normal comm. college comp class). I chose this because I could write a book on this game (so can many others).

feel free to give any input (working on my rough draft tonight, due tomorrow , lol)

I called dibs first and I have the paperwork to prove it.

Don't use the title:

The Kbook, Grunvagr's Guide to Kdice Greatness.

hmm, seeing as youre not named Grun it's likely your title will be different, goodluck!

oh input?

well here are my chapters so here are thoughts:

luck - good bad, hell today i defended a few 6v4 and 7v3 and lost a 2v5 and a 3v4 4v5 5v5 5v5 4v5 etc

so how luck balances out in the long run but in the short run it can seem like its kicking your arse

talk about relations (interactions) and how it matters directly, how resentments are carried game to game and how kdice relates to life in many ways because what you give is what comes back to you

do you need a thesis? if so how kdice is akin to life is the best bet, or some variation of that

lemme know if u need somethin specific, u r too broad right now

Well, there's some peer revision tomorrow, so right now I'm working on explaingning the whole concept of playing it. Hopefully my classmates can let me know what can be taken out of the paper/ what to put in regarding that. It's for only three pages , and I don't think I can start that stuff until the third page. I'll gladly take suggestions for further revision though.

But thanks for the thesis idea; That actually might come in handy one day (I'll probably be able to credit you in that version). In fact, kdice can be used for pretty much any subject.

ok, write about this

how the kdice community is so much more than just a game, and how it has become a game in itself

just like the myspace revolution of the internet, so is kdice to those who have played it - it is a site to visit often to meet friends, reminisce, joke laugh, cuss and vent when you lose, rejoice and throw foam footballs across your room when you win and do a happy dance

talk about how kdice is not just the dice which would grow boring after awhile, but a community that has people you like, people you hate, and people you like to like and secretly like to hate, just like real life (which ties to the thesis) but talk about how kdice is so much more than the game

it's klife

Make sure you mention its history: that it was inspired by Dice Wars, which in turn was inspired by Risk.
