@hobo:

why would I do that

Becuz u apparently were proclaiming it a bad attack.  U get hella lucky and its the game then u say it was a bad attack?  Prove it.

[hobo]

It’s not my problem someone doesn’t understand how numbers work.  You constantly engage battles where the odds are not in your favor and blame dice.  That’s what happens when you start something that the odds were already against you.

What’s really funny is the evidence doesn’t even support your whine.  In that “unlucky” dice battle, you rolled TWO under averaged in the first 2 rounds, when over 100 dice were rolled.  Instead of recalculating odds after each round, you continued to pressed which each successive round going even more against you.

At the end of the first round, your odds dropped under 10%, yet you continued.  At the end of the second round, your odds dropped under 1%, yet you went again where there were absolutely no follow through opportunities by another country.

Now in our short 3 games, how many 80%+ high ipc battles have I lost against you.  The only reason you were even able to pull out game 1 was because anzac lost a major 8:1 sea battle against you which put it in a bad position for a counter attack.  In both battles you not only won, but decisively despite low odds.  On top of that, do you know what your hit % was on defending single 2s in that game.  I’m sure you remember.

No I dont remember.  And I didnt want to play a game that was boring so I made the all in attack…  retreating wasnt an option so dont play coy like it was.  :roll:

[boldfresh]

Your comment wasnt really worth a reply so I retract it.  You are a sad dude that u cant admit when u get hella lucky.  Game 1 u just didnt know the rules period….  thats no ones fault but yours.  Reading the rules is a drag I know so no biggie.  But if I also got lucky then fine I accept it, something you are apparently unable to do.

[boldfresh]

Are you seriously suggesting that no player should ever take a battle or continue a battle where the odds are not in his favor to “win” the battle?  Get real dude.

[boldfresh]

Bottom line I am calling you out to prove your win in a LL game starting from the beginning of R4.  No bearing on league results.

[boldfresh]

I know to a CERTAINTY you lose if that battle goes to odds.  How do you like them apples?

[boldfresh]

To me taking that battle made the game interesting.  The fact that it skewed so hard in your favor pretty much ruined it but hey I guess that happens.  This isnt chess.  So i would rather take thw battle for fun and risk giving you a path back in than grind you out slowly.  If it went reasonably to odds it was also a faster win.
