@MrRoboto:

Really, Dice haven’t been so crazy. Sure, they are in my favour, but nothing really ridiculous.

don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining, just more necessary, unsolicited, commentary on my part…w/that said you hit 13 times for 32 @ 2 and 2 for 3 @ 3.

I’m just feeling the pain brother, that’s all but I agree it can and does certainly get worse.

[666]

need to put on the thinking cap now…. 8-)

[MrRoboto]

@JWW:

w/that said you hit 13 times for 32 @ 2 and 2 for 3 @ 3.

That’s what I’m trying to point - slightly in my favour, but nothing I would even take the effort on commenting ;-)
15 hits instead of 12 1/3.

I have several games going right now, where I would dream of only getting bashed this little by the dice god xD

Seriously though, I wish the game throws you a bone now and then stays right on the average line from there on :-)
