Short Straw?

I'm used to all kinds of manifestations of shit luck here in kdice, but in a recent game I started with the LEAST AMOUNT OF DICE.

I had 11 dice on 4 territories, while everyone else had either 12/4 or 13/5. I mean, WTF? Is there some mathematical reason beyond my comprehension to explain why one player would start with less dice than the rest?

Why would a Hitler worshipper get anything but the short straw?

You mean ad hominem, right? Anyways this doesn't really count as one, as my response, while a personal attack, was related to your subject. If you'd like I'll put it in less personal terms: is it not reasonable to expect an avatar that is a cross between Hitler and Mickey Mouse to get the short straw?

"Hominem", of course. And your response is irrelevant to my question - why should there be a "short straw" in the first place? Why should one player start with less dice than the others?
