thought this deserved its own post:


I remember the day,
Seems so far away,
When kdice was so fun,
Because the better players usually won,
But now the purpose has very much changed,
And the outcome sometimes even prearranged,
But worse than this - to our shame,
We no longer even try to win the game!
But rather to get a few points here and there,
by knowing exactly when to pair,
And guarantee someone else the win,
Because you were stretched out way too thin,
So instead of getting the -200 you deserve,
You rather throw everyone the curve,
And ensure that you yourself get second place,
Even at the expense of those actually in the race,
And since this principle locks everyone in,
Either play this way or be a has-been,
But there is a clear solution despite the naysayers,
Remove the text box and don't identify the players!
But alas, we are slaves to the overall scores,
even if it means the "pure players" have no choice but to return to DICEWARS :(
