Any questions that you might have about Dice Table go here. If you would prefer, you may ask in your confessionals instead.

*Moved from the signups thread.
Question:
What does this line mean?:
'• If a player does not use all 18 dice in the setup phase, the unused dice are revealed and put out of play.'
Unless I'm wrong, only the defending hand and the attacking hand, 5 dice each, are used in a round, to a total of 10 dice. Is their something I'm missing?

Can a player choose the same hand to attack and defend? A sample game would also be nice  EDIT: so in a game of dice table, there are 6 rounds - does this mean 3 attacking and 3 defending? so in actually it's more like 3 rounds? Or is it 6 attacking and 6 defending? |

Unless I'm wrong, only the defending hand and the attacking hand, 5 dice each, are used in a round, to a total of 10 dice. Is their something I'm missing? So. Each person has 18 dice. These are arranged into 6 hands, each with between 1 and 5 dice each, one of which is the Leading Die. After the setup phase, these hands may not be changed. Each die (and hand) may only be used once. Can a player choose the same hand to attack and defend? A sample game would also be nice EDIT: so in a game of dice table, there are 6 rounds - does this mean 3 attacking and 3 defending? so in actually it's more like 3 rounds? Or is it 6 attacking and 6 defending? Each hand may only be used once. In other words, you start off with 6 hands. In the first turn, each player chooses a hand to defend with. This hand is put onto the table, and the Leading Die is revealed to the other player. On the next turn, each player chooses a different hand to attack with. This hand is put onto the table, opposite the opponent's previously played hand, and the Leading Die is revealed to the other player. Based on the Leading Dice, the betting for those two battles are determined. Those four hands (two per player) stay on the field, and the next Defending Round will begin. Once again, each player chooses a hand to defend with, and the Leading Die is revealed. Then, on the following turn, they choose a hand to attack with, the Leading Die is revealed, and the betting is determined. There are now four battles, consisting of eight of the original twelve hands (four out of six from each player). However, none of these battles has been determined, and only the Leading Dice are visible in each hand. In the next round, each player chooses a hand to defend with, and the Leading Die is revealed. As each player now has only one hand left, the final Attacking Round takes place immediately, and the game begins to resolve. All the dice are revealed, and the winning hands for each battle are determined. The wins and losses are totaled, and the player who wins most overall is the winner. I will try to get a sample game out as soon as possible. Does this clear everything up?  |

I'd also like to see a sample game.
I've a question, do the dices in each hand compete with each other or the whole hand is added and the final number is what matters?
Ex: I have this hand (5 4 3 2 1) against this one (6 3 2 1 4). The total of the first hand is 15 against the 16 of the second one. Does that mean that the second hand win or since the first hand has three individual wins (4vs3, 3vs2, 2vs1) is the winner?

EDIT: The sample game is out! Read it here! For your question: the whole hand is added and the final number is what matters. Thus, you can have a 1 die hand vs. a 5 dice hand if you wish. All that matters is the total of the hand, not the individual dice or the order of them. |

What happens if an un-even amount of players join?

What happens if an un-even amount of players join? Ah, yes, I guess I should explain how game-choosing works. At one point, Alydar'll decide that we have enough players signed up. If we have an even number of people, each player will be paired up randomly with someone else. If we have an odd number of people, the last person to join will be considered the "odd person out" and will not participate. However, that person is still signed up, so afterward s/he can compete against the losers (or other people who hadn't signed up)! In the event that we have a lot of people, and Alydar closes signups for the round, and then a huge mass of people sign up, he may start another set of Dice Table games to accommodate those people, so they don't have to wait until the end. |

What happens in the result of a draw?
EG...
Player one's defending hand is 2,3, (5) making a total of 10
And player two's attacking hand is 5, 4, (1) making a total of 10 also
Does nobody get any credits?

In that case, the bet is 25M yen, correct? So. The person with a total of 10 wins! Player 1 wins so receives 25M yen from Player 2! Player 2 wins so also receives 25M yen from Player 1! They both break even! And get a bronze trophy!  If the numbers were, say, 2, 3, (5) and 4, (6), the same thing would happen. There is no tiebreaker, not even the number of dice used. |

Did the game 10k and I played really end up being that short? XD Since I've lost, whenever anyone else loses I'm happy to play again...

Yes, the game was short. And once everything's done, you can definitely sign up again. Which reminds me: all of you who recently joined, and all of you who haven't yet signed up for this game, as well as all of you who lost this game this time, you may still sign up, and we'll keep doing installments of this game until interest dies down! But signup in the signup thread, please. |

What happens to people who owe more poker chips than they have?

What happens to people who owe more poker chips than they have? At this moment in time, that is unlikely to happen. However, if it does happen at some point in time, that player will have to take a loan out from the LGT office. Which, of course, means they'll have to pay it back some way or another. Ahahaha! Ahah! Hahaha... I.e. the LGT would cover the costs, and the other player would just have negative Poker Chips. |
