This has been a common question basically since the game started - I'd recommend combing through the forum (which has no search function, but Google does pretty well for it).

Basically, sometimes on the higher tables you'll run into people who will gang up on you, or who are blatantly PGAing (pregame Alliance, a type of cheating, against the rules).

Other times, new players may have difficulty picking up on subtle moves in top tables, between players who are familiar with each other. This is difficult to combat besides just getting experienced in the game. Usually it's not that top players are ganging up on you, it's just easier for them to see an opportunity for a truce or something with someone they know will take advantage of it.

Best advice? Just keep playing. You'll run into jerks, but you'll run into plenty of nice folks as well. Use the chat box, frequently, too.

This is something that every single player experiences. The best way to deal with it is to simply recognize that it is somewhat of a right of passage. Establish yourself amongst the community, just as every top player has had to do.

Beer, the question was addressed "for the competitive players here".

I'm not competitive cause I just play when I'm procrastinating but

the way to not be seen as easy prey and get ganged up on is to establish your role as the alpha male at the table

assert your territory and call corner rights,

start typing insults in caps to anyone who attacks you,

and add BRO at the end of every sentence.

You'll be top 3 in no time

trust me i have a phd in kdice

Herv, the question was probably for players who have finished in th top few not just white dice

And yes I beat dicey in a VISA-off

bomb: fuck you wish
bomb: yeah, fuck you wish

Competitive player here.

Friends have an upspoken default truce because they are easier to trust.

If random players didn't fuck me over every time I tried to truce them there wouldnt be a problem.

How do you solve this problem you ask?
Prove that you know how to play and can be trusted in truces and you're good.

Also, don't become known as the player that complains a lot. No one likes those players.

-Just being honest with ya, don't give a fuck if you stay or not, im hardly here.

You are right to be put off this game. It is dominated by people who get more fun out of weird alliances and fake internet points than actually playing the game. It's a shame. (BUT THAT IS THE GAME the creepy weirdos who do well here all cry out at once. Yeah, yeah.) My advice: avoid the beginning and end of the month entirely, learn when the fix is in (lots of 1000+ points players show up at a 100 table all at once -- best to sit out), and don't ever think this game will ever be as good as it could have been.

One time I lost an 8v3 roll, and then a 6v2 roll. True story bro

Yea bomb was the loser of that one but dicey may have lost more pride
