This is to figure out the worst day in playing kdice. A day can only be bad if don't win any points at all. So I have to offer this great one from today:

The worst of all days.
4 games played

34.5%, 44.9%, 45.3% and 39.6% luck

6th, 7th, 5th, 7th.

A total of -1315 points

How rotten does it get?

Replies 1 - 10 of 10

10,714,189 kam|k2 Sep 8, 2:56 PM CDT 7th 0 3 % 0 : 100 31.1 % 2 11,702?? (-1,405) 5th

The setting above occured a few days back at a 2.5K table with Ryan sitting and watching. I was the 7th player to act (always fun) and I began with 5 lands; a 5 stack, a 4 stack, two 2 stacks, and a 1 stack. I got 4v4'd and lost.......then 5v5'd and lost......and my 2 stacks were gone as well. My turn came and I had 1 land with 1 die (not dice).

7th place (-1405)

The following short conversation ensued between Ryan and myself:

Thraxle: Ryan..............1 die left.........before my turn in round 1.............did I really deserve -1400 for that?

Ryan: shit happens


My one game tops your shitty day. I dare someone to beat this.

I knew you could lose more points in one game. I know you can have worse luck (20.7% is my personal record for a game).

But having 4 games like that in a row to start the day sort of ruins it right away. That was more the point, the series of not quite lucky games. Of course losses could have been increased ;-))

And for Thraxle, as you never will get 1st and earn 1.4k without moving at all, I do think there should be a limit to the losses you make when not moving at all/dying in 1st turn. Personally I think 10% of the table-value or something like that would be fine.

I lost 5k points in one day this month. Totally sucked. Then in the days that followed I would gain 2-3k and lose it all right before I went to bed.

So yes wait until you have a bad streak that lasts more than 4 games. :)

18.2 surely rocks bottom. I sincerely pity you! I hope I will never be able to get lower than that...
