because otherwise you wouldn't call it a dicerape? It would just be a hard fought game that you happened to lose. Hello self-fulfilling prophecy!

I often find it the other way around. I usually get my worst dice rapes by teams that are allready nasty. Like dwarf teams that happen to get amazing ball handling skills or dp riddled khemri teams that just never seem to get ejected.

Why Nuffle would premier the teams everyone else hates goes in line with the rest of his personality :)

To teach you not to pick the nice cherries.

I've found that I tend to get worse dice against low CR coaches, which is really frustrating. I just imagine it is because I magnify the unlikeliness of the play working by the needlessness / poor choice or play. Obviosuly a 1DB Pow is going to be more annoying when you can see an easy 2DB.

Why is it that the only time you moan about dicerapes, its you on the receiving end?
Very few will acknowledge being on the plus side of a good old fashioned nuffling.

Ohh, by all means. I believe quite a few players can tell you that i have often enough had it the other way round. My humans in the box have wasted enough Khemri teams to show that i have tried that too.

Looking at my humans in Ranked, you will see that they have outbashed some hardcore teams, and ofcourse been outbashed a lot too.

Kinks, how excactly am i going to cherrypick in the box? I would like to know that, and i bet a lot of other coaches would like to know that too.

Pirog - I find i lose to those teams often, but not so often by complete dicerapes, more from good sound play. Somehow i find that more satisfying than losing to a rape... Actually if should be the other way round, considering losing to a rape doesnt really set your own skills up as poor.

Lame whining.

Oh, and watch the language - your post is in violation of site rules.

Are the dice not allowed to get sexually frustrated?

Well, 33 votes with rating 1 should teach that a lot of snakes can happen at times;-))

well of your last 30 games 2 of them were in ranked, were you have some control, but you have 28 games in the box. those games are a 50/50 affair! All the temas in the box have a good shot at beating you. So its not the dice I suspect.

From the Forums

generaljason:

Lastly, who says 'dice raped'? I've heard the term but nobody I know has ever used it. When I think of 'dice raped', I think of somebody trying to shove a pair of six dies up your ass. Sounds like something a dork would say.

Granted, now that you guys have made such a big deal about it, it'll have gained a certain panache amongst truckers and trolls.

I shall let this respected coach's name stay unknown:

"This was a dicerape from start to finish - no doubt about that.
Apart from the counting casualties he also fell over and injured himself - so it was a true "present" from NUFFLE for the little fellows XXXX game.
Shimin took the raping well however - hope for a rematch someday.
Maybe NUFFLe will hand me over on a silver plate next time :).
CYA champ and gl in your next ones...."

You learn from those you are with.

I can only say the term "dicerape" is used by many people and is simply a short way of saying: "The "good" dice wasnt evenly divided, and i came out in the losing end."

Evolve i pity you. First you try to gain some high ground and acceptance, but at the same time distance you, by letting another being the one who said it. Are you that afraid to speak your own mind or be unpopular?

@painstate

I think you need to read how blackbox works.

There are a lot of discussion about the box making it easier for bad coaches than for good coaches!

50/50 affair is something i have rarely tried.

I have had very easy and very hard games...
