Quoted from the site: It is human nature to remember the losses more than the wins.
Well, I'm subscribed - so bring on the games!

While I'm inclined to agree, I still say that observing the defender roll double sixes 6 times in a row is not something that I would expect to see in several lifetimes. But I saw it there. And I've only played 5 games. You do the math.
And the very fact that the site has put up something like that means that plenty of people have had problems with their dice and they think that by posting one lame comment like that all the sheep will just nod and believe that the people making the "bad dice" claims are fools.
Can you say "baaaaaa"? I knew you could.
It's too bad, too. I like the site. It's a well-done implementation of RISK. But the bad dice just make it an exercise in frustration.

If you don't like games of chance you should've practiced harder at tennis.
Can you say: "Sour grapes."?
