Here's an example.......
Ok i compiled the stats....over the last 75 days (jan. feb. march) bombardier has played 2,360 games....at the 10 min. per game average (obviously some go much longer but some are faster)...that is 23,600 minutes played...which comes to 393 hours played...which divided by 75 comes to an AVERAGE of 5.3 hours a day..... i averaged in a 2 minute wait between games for tables to fill... and it comes out to about 6.0 hours a day SIX HOURS A DAY im no saint...my stats come out to almost an hour a day... but come on 6 hours a day and im sure there are some people that are worse or just as bad.... is it even possible to play this game 6 hours a day and have an actual life? listen people..i love this game too but pls..if you find yourself neglecting the real world....KDICE ISNT THAT IMPORTANT yes i realize i just wasted my OWN time posting this...pls nobody point that out p.s. pwnd....n00b (everyone else says it) |

at 4:31 AM, Monday March 17, 2008 EDT fiero, I agree with you man.
I can't keep investing 300 games a month either. kdice is the greatest online game ever to me. But as I explained a few days earlier, the monthly race gives such a need to play too many games, it is killing the fun of it. This weekend I decided not to play kdice at all, didn't even check how fast my rank fell. Luckily my wife made sure i didn't regret that for a single second. anyone up for a monthly competition with a fixed number of games a month: say something like 100? |

at 5:16 AM, Monday March 17, 2008 EDT It's not only the time, it is also the emotional involvement...
I would advice everybody who is not able to play less than 150 games per month to quit the game altogether, starting from today :-) |

at 9:37 AM, Monday March 17, 2008 EDT True, it's better than alchohol and everyone needs a bit of entertainment. Just don't become a KDice potato.
I can play maybe 1-10 games per day without it interrupting my life - or development of the site. I think this is an ideal range and one that I'd like to structure the game towards. If you can think of better ways to make the game more condusive to <10 games per day let me know. I mentioned having different leagues of play to fiero. Where you could compete in a leage that reset maybe after three months, and had a limit of 10 games per day or 100 for the month or something. The league would have different stats. |
