I heard the Wrecking Crew bribed a judge so that a daemon player could have his army assault after deep striking.
Too bad no one's brave enough to just stand up to them.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
They cheat in all the tournaments and have too many biker nobs.
:EDIT: Also, I hate that you're on my forums.
Which ones are your forums again?

What you think the WC should own all the forums? Just because they have the power they should be in charge?
That's not the real America. What ever happened to not cheating at games?

Be careful, we may have to charge you extra. (a massacre for WC instead of a simple Major Victory next time you play one of us.)
Yeah, I bet you think you're so great.
Is it really so great to steal stuff from kids? I once saw a WC guy just steal some kid's Ultramarines, and they hit him in the nose a bunch of times.
The police didn't believe the kid because they were getting half the rhinos.

The only problem I've ever had with a WC member was DeadShane's Gary Busey avatar.
That man isn't human.

Those are chessex custom dice right? I wish that they had sharp edged ones... EDIT: to clarify, it seems their less rounded dice are only painted on numbers style?

They don't care about probabilities, they just want to sell dice.

Yeah, those game science videos are very interesting, and though I know that guy is trying to sell his super sharp dice, his evidence combined with the dakka article is pretty convincing. The article is the one where someone did a thorough testing of the rounded dice and the results were that roll a huge percent ones.

Grown men (supposedly anyway) trying to act all bad and "gangester" because they can win at a game involving toy soldiers?
Exactly what is the point, other then to inflate thier egos?
As for the dice, anyone can get custom dice made by Chessex & several other companies. Just go to thier site & order what ya want. Lots of club groups and individuals do it.

Yade's "study" was complete undadulterated steer stool. I'm sure that his "correspondence" with both Chessex and "casinos" were also fabrications.
Take your little chessex dice, and roll them about 1000 times. Record the results carefully. You're not going to get anywhere near the "29%" 1s that the "study" claims.
Sure it might not be as scientific as the methods that he posted, but that's not important, because if they were really so horrendously skewed, you should see similar results.
When I did it, I actually got slightly more 6s than 1s, but I also got more 3s than 4s. Not anything more than a couple of percentage points off of the 16.7% of any given number that they "should" roll. Given my relatively small sample size I'd say they were rolling just fine.
Sure, he is an engineer who teaches at a university and went through a labor intensive study and got access to casino research and his study is crap. Sure he could have fabricated it, as anything is possible on the wide world of the intarnetz, but tell me why am I supposed to beleive you over him?
I tend to beleive people a bit more who do not use blanket terms such as 'steer stool' and accusations of spurious behavior on their behalf without any evidence to back up their claims other than mere disbelief.
So you did a study where you took 4 various samples of 36 dice (multiplied by 4, one for each student ) and you came up with entirely conflicting results?
I find that hard to beleive (see second paragraph of this post). Replicate the experiment, or I call bs on your post and your accusations.

And I'm the lead computer programmer on the Apollo program.
Seriously, roll your dice and record the results. If his "study" was true, then even if you roll as little as 1000 times, you'd get similar results... say within +/- 3/4% (not exact, just a guesstimation).

Loooong story short (of which I didn't pay much attention due to it being a conflict of a few posters against another few posters, of which I care for neither side)
Posters 12345 hate posters 678910 due to allegations of cheating and obnoxious behavior in general.
Seriously, the soap opera is not even as entertaining as East Enders or what have you for whatever locale you are in due to the obnoxious amount of chest thumping from both sides.
