check this :
http://kdice.com/profile/19758944/stats I've played 40 competitive months. On the 36 months that my minimum score is "2500" or something around 2500 if i lost a couple games at the beginning of the month. Anyways, on these 36 membership months, every single one has a luck % above 48%. On the 4 months that my minimum score is "0" aka non-membership months... Dec. 2008, Jan. 2009, Nov. 2010, Dec. 2010 my luck % is 45.5% 46.2% 47% 44% Does anyone REALLY think that there's any chance even a SMALL chance that the 4 months that I didn't have membership are just by "chance" my only months that are under 48% ...and considerably so? I mean come on.. that's just silly. FFS look at MonteCarlo's account http://kdice.com/profile/7832549/stats Up until December 2008 (same month my luck dropped off omg what a surprise), Monte's (career top 3 at the time) LOWEST luck % was 48.5% Look at his month after that when he dropped membership 38% 45% 47% 45% 43% 46% 43% REALLY? His luck AGAIN by CHANCE went from every month >48% to every month <47% AFTER he cancelled membership. Gimme a break. |

it should also be noted that everyone who is supposedly cursed saw their luck drop at the same time. to me this indicates something happening on ryan's side (ie him programming the curse). How likely is it that a bunch of well-known kdicers (out of allllll the players on dice) all see their luck % drop by five full percent at the same time? http://kdice.com/profile/10645875/stats http://kdice.com/profile/19031103/stats in addition to jesse and monte who are already linked in this thread. |

a lot of times it is though. Here.. yes. Tons of good player don't just turn into bad players when they cancel membership and then turn back into good players when the pay 5 dollars. It doesn't work like that |

key word is "automatically" they also say that this is because COMMON SENSE IS REQUIRED their example " With a decrease in the number of pirates, there has been an increase in global warming over the same period. Therefore, global warming is caused by a lack of pirates. " well no shit. thats why common sense is required. |
