Why I will stop playing Kdice... and so do many other people.

About two months ago I found this website because I really liked risk and so this game seemed really like it. I started playing it on my iphone on the bus, in between classes or when I was on my dorm taking a study break.
I think is a great game. One of the best online. I love the strategy to it and the social aspect. That was until about a few weeks ago. I realized that its mostly social... or whether or not your friends play it. I play it alone and have found it really challenging to rank up in my second month. This month however I have cracked a good plan to follow if you plan to play it as it is supposed to. 15 of my friends started playing this about 2 months ago. Now only 3 of us play it. I wonder what the percentage of active accounts/total accounts is. I really don't understand why it is not made with random tables. Just like the tourneys. I understand it would take longer but I really believe more people would play it if it was done that way, therefore decreasing the time it would take to make several tables. Group people together that have played the least among themselves. Quite a simple algorithm that could be made with something similar to a hashtable and a hashfunction. That would solve the PGA problem that kills the real competition of the game. For those of you who play the game the best this is what I have observed to be successful in the two months I have been playing. - Play in the tourneys...(this is where I find that most skillful players win often) yes there are also pgas but they won't always be together since tables are made randomly. - Avoid the 2ks or 5ks tables until 5 days before the close of the month and go to those tables during high traffic hours. - Try to switch up tables every other game. - Do PGE people that PGA with others. Teach them a lesson. I will finish up this month and try to get a top 25 badge and that will be it for me. Cheaters have really taken the fun out of it. |

"Mastering the metagame" when people are throwing you points because they are weak minded sycophants it doesn't mean you have mastered jack or shit, it means you are good at finding weak minded sycophants.
If more people played like deadcode kdice would not be as stagnant as it is. Being friends with people but viewing each game as a singular event only carrying your opinion of the character of a player over is how people should play. Veta no matter what you have in your head about your skill you are barely above Jesse when it comes to playing a legitimate game. Sam, you do the OTF shit too. You even made a post about it. OTF is PGA. It's taken me a while to realize that, but it's true. New players can't even play KDice, because unless they have a 9k win, they will just get ganged up on 3v1. That's not knowing some people better than others, that's taking advantage of the system in order to score more points. So I don't think there's that many of us whose heads aren't up their asses, if we are trying to say that we play the game fairly. You want to play right/fair? Do what I do nowadays. Stick to lower tables, don't try to get 100k, and treat every game like it is a single event (which you said). In theory you are right, but definitely not in practice. |
