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. |

If you ally with someone, don't do suicide moves. It screws them as much as it does you. |

at 7:45 AM, Thursday January 18, 2007 EST This Thread is good enough to be on top again.
I would ask Ryan to make a list of permanent threads, so that we mustn´t discuss the same topics to all new players again and again! Also it would be nice to complete our Wikipedia-Site and to make the "more..."-link to it a little bit bigger ;) |

at 7:47 AM, Thursday January 18, 2007 EST btw: Are "teams" cheating or not?
I don´t like to fight against my "very good friends" - we discussed this earlier in other threads. And a lot of people are playing with friends. So it´s reality and part of the game already. But often our friendship doesn´t help us, ´cause our starting positions won´t help us with it... |

at 11:42 AM, Thursday January 18, 2007 EST Using two accounts in the same game is unfair and there are anti-cheat features to block this. Imagine playing against four-six good players that are pre-aligned *every* *single* *time* you join a kdice game. Pre-game alliances are equally unfair and should be treated equally as cheating, the main reason no one cares is because it doesn't happen often enough to justify whining.

"The laws of probability won't allow it" - isn't this supposed to be the opposite i.e. it is possible? theoretically at least, although i doubt i'd be live long enough to ever see it. |
