Dices in tourney

Post by neverdodge »

Just curious, as i sax Ithilkir saying in another post that the silver dices seems not balancer i wonder how that would be handled in tourney. I mean if everyone knows they re not balancer they ll prolly prohibited, but then wouldn t people start complaining about 6sided dices too, or other blocking dices ?

I know the BB audience is nice and that we mostly don t care and there a not many people who will cheat intentionaly but i still wonder.

The silver blocking dice ring an alarm bell in me. They are obviously unbalanced.

I'm suspicous with the black NAf dice as they have non fitting side lengths as well, all the remaining dices on the market seem ok.

After having lost one match in a tourney to a guy who rolled 10+ with his two D6 on nearly every roll, I don't take any risk. I suffered 7 injuries in 5 turns, the rest was KO. Fun match :roll:

I tell them, either we both roll with the same dices or you put them away.

good idea.

if you feel that the other guys die are unbalanced then we're both use them.

It doesn't make any difference for me, even if we use the same dice, I still get one's, two's and attacker down's while my opponent get five's, six's and well at least both down.........

I've played the exact same match before. :evil:

I like having tournaments handout dice to use myself.

Yeah I think that is an unwritten rule, that if one of the players wants himself and his opponent to use the same dice the opponent must agree.

I agree about the silver dice, even normal silver D6 are somewhat unbalanced. Block dice have all the potential to be several magnitudes worse.

sorry Nark, that was just luck! :wink:

and I agree, if you think your opponents dice are not perfect, then just use them yourself.. if he/she will not let you then hurt them very badly with a pencil to the skull and then go to the bar.. :lol:

No that was not you. It happened to me again at the Dungeonbowl!

And the guy didn't want to share his dice. You did.
After the first half I forced him to share his dice and voila I started to roll as good as he but the match was over already as there were just 5 of my players were left on the pitch.

From now on I always go to tournaments without any dice and always use the ones of my opponent. And if he whines about being picky about his dice I go straight to the ref. Being burned once I don't give pardon to those types.

Getting the dice of your opponent, receive, and then smash two orks into the Cas-box.

priceless. :D
