K-Dice Etiquette:
By TheYellowMole 1) Surrender when necessary. If there are two people left, and you are both at all 8's, and you are outnumbered badly, you're not going to win. The laws of probability won't allow it. Just save everyone some time and surrender. 2) If you are in complete control of the game, kill the away players first. Then kill the guy who cowered in the corner the whole game. Let 2nd go to the person who played the best game. If it's up to you, give people the points they deserve. We've all been robbed of a 2nd by an away player, don't make yourself a robber. 3) Look down at the chat box every once in a while. Things happen. Someone may propose an alliance to you, ask you a question, etc. and its impolite not to respond. If you propose an alliance, there's nothing more than getting no response. A 'no' or even an 'I'll consider it' is proper. 4) No pregame alliances. Going into a game on a team with someone else is just unfair. It's cheating. Don't do it. 5) Use good manners in the chat box. This is pretty self-explanatory, and is good etiquette anywhere. Try to write with good grammar if your English is good enough, be considerate, and be nice. This isn't a place to make enemies, it's a place to make friends. 6) If the server lags you out, try to get back in. This could mean a simple refresh, closing your browser, or something else. But away players are bad for everyone, so try to get back in if you can. 7) Don't turn on alliances. If you make an alliance with someone, honor it. Don't turn on them, even if it means a first place. It's simple honesty. 8) Don't overly complain. Sure you can say how much it sucks that your 6 lost to a 3. Sure you can complain about your starting position. Sometimes, you get unlucky. But other times you get lucky. The name of the game is DICE wars, you're rolling dice, luck is involved. It's alright to quip a little, but just don't be that idiot who fills 3 chat boxes full of "Gawd!!!!11! I am getting so freaking unlucky!!!!1111one! I deserve to win! All my roles are crap!!!"... you get the picture. Just some basic etiquette rules. Remember, dice wars is a game, it's supposed to be fun. So everyone should work to create a fun and polite environment. Feel free to contribute to this list. |

at 10:57 AM, Sunday December 24, 2006 EST If I'm in control I like to give respect to the players that cut a gash through my #1 enemy. Not only did they hook it up for you, but they made the game more interesting, showed some balls, and are in a weak state which can be used to your advantage. I always make a last minute maniac run if I have a shot.
There is nothing more annoying than the people who are dominating and won't just make a kill. I know you don't ever get any respect in real life, but making people beg for 2nd place is as lame as it gets. Just get it over with and stop being a douche. |

at 1:10 AM, Monday December 25, 2006 EST As a corollary to 2, I'd like to add:
If you're clearly in 2nd place, help 1st clear out everybody else and don't attack him, unless you honestly believe you have a chance. and If you're in situation 2 in 1st place, and 2nd place attacks you, by all means kill him first. |

at 1:16 AM, Monday December 25, 2006 EST I preffer "Do as you please".
I like honoring the alliances, but that's just me. I like the treacherous. I don't make alliances with them though... I like Meatbomb's post very much! I do 3 and 4. Shielding aways is very usefull. Actually i kill the aways before the others, but just when the fright of losing to the aways have weakened the fighters enough. I do many other things. Sometimes i congratulate som1 who's getting big to draw attention to him. Or i offer an alliance to player A so player B gets frightened and kills A... Or i reinforce a player who's fighting my enemy... I get vindictive when it will be remembered in the present of future games. I don't prearrange games or dishonour alliances. That's just not me. |

at 2:30 AM, Monday December 25, 2006 EST I like the real rules to be inforced, so you CAN'T do otherwise.
I don't like for players (like the starter of the thread) to tell you how you should play. If someone has done me wrong (or i think they did), when i'm loosing i won't surrender, no matter what, so they spend time while i eat a sandwich and laugh. I don't like prearranged games, but i can't do anything about that, so, people, do as you please. I'll kill you all. ^_^ |

at 8:53 AM, Monday December 25, 2006 EST As to pregame alliances, i've seen a few. But really in the long run they are detremential to those that do them.
If i go to a table to play i see players which i know will be at least 90% sure to ally together. Then simple, i wont sit in and will come back another day :) Currently im only aware of one set of 3 players which may do that. though so dont know how far it is really a problem :) |
