Worst dice in the world

[paywut]

Concise description:
I'm proposing an award for worst dice of the day, i.e. those who lost the most troops per defending troop. Each time someone does worse than the current holder they claim the award. When the day is over the last holder gets to keep that day's award for worst dice. In addition there would be some way of announcing the new low.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

I think it would be a lot of fun. It would also help me to feel better when my dice go badly

XD I like it, just because I'd be curious to see losing 14 men in a row and killing none in a game deciding round..

What will be the beginning and end of every day? Using CC time?

Awesome suggestion!

Maybe the worse dice receives a general achievement medal once a month or something?

Not sure how feasible this is because the site would have to track your battles daily but I can still like the idea.

Achieving "worst dice" .... think about that for a minute. One, I would not want to be recognized for my ineffectiveness to kill ... and two, with all the dice conspiracies, this would just add fuel to the fire.

I like the idea to have a little fun. But giving medals for something there is no control over is a bit over the top I think. Besides that, how does one go about proving they lost? I could say I lost 14 in a row against a single in a game, with all single attacks, and there would be no way to prove that unless I took a screen shot with every attack attempt showing the dice results.

i agree with you but it could be tracked somehow i bet. it could be worst overall average on battle stats for the month or something.

When i was a kid, my bowling team took last place in a league and we got a trophy for being last (more of a gag...the trophy had a kid bowling between his legs). this was before the time that everyone got a trophy.

i am sure they could have fun with the medal...maybe an infantry man using his finger as a gun or something even dumber.

I still remember getting that bowling trophy and have it somewhere. sometimes it is nice to be dead last as you can just laugh it off...kind of like the NFL draft...don't they honor the last guy taken in the draft or something?

anyway, i doubt anything will ever come of this but it is amusing and these days i can use a laugh.

With escalating spoils, couldn't do who lost the most in a battle, for the number could be 10,000, yet this would say if they had good kill ratio or bad. So this idea needs boundaries:
Such as
1)most troops lost in a row w/o a kill
a) attack dice
b) defensive dice
2) most troops killed in a row w/o a loss
a) attack
b) defense
3) Best & worst kill ratio of the day (minimum 3 rolls to qualify)
a) attack
b) defense

Item #3 would level the playing field and prevent those rolling 4v2 losing 2 and qualifying with 0-2.

4) Best & worst % for the day (minimum of 3 rolls to qualify)
a) attack
i) 3v2
ii) 3v1
b) defense w/ same subsets.

This suggestion appeals to statistic junkie in me. I think this could quell conspiracy theories when players see they aren't alone. Maybe let the Best of and worst of names of the ride until someone bumps them off. Then a year end record and an all time record.

i mostly agree but i think you need more than 3 rolls to qualify...not very hard to go 0-6 on an attack.

and i think how i like that the worse and best be visible on the site somewhere and they automatically update everyday or something. you could have 2 things that are kept track of for best and worse dice streaks (or what ever they end up being)...one would be for the day and the other is the all time list.

I meant for the award to be humorous. With the number of rolls being made on this site I'm sure we will see some spectacular losses posted. I intended for the award to be the most losses by an attacker made in a single attack (i.e., consecutive rolls against the same target, with attacking someone else ending the tracking) and if it's cc tracking it then i don't think anyone is going to dispute it.
