reverse side? like i said.... I dont like when I have stupid luck either because itll haunt me in the future TWICE fold like it did. And its not about just bad luck its about when the bad luck happens and it's retarded for it to happen in crucial moments in consecutive games :(
Edit: also that game with luck I won. so luck makes me a winner?
The man with the highest positive luck wins boards. what does that say?
k, are you sure you should be playing this game? Newsflash....it uses dice!
Go ahead.. Flip a coin ten times. I'd give you 100:1 odds that they won't alternate like you might think they should; neither HTHTHTHTHT or THTHTHTHTH. On the other hand, I'll take your money if you give me 100:1 odds that I'll flip it 10 times and get TTT or HHH somewhere in the sequence.
It's not luck that causes winning and losing streaks to happen. They're SUPPOSE to happen! I'll stop playing this game when they don't.

So we all know that Risk is not Chess. We also know it's the card game War. So it lies somewhere in between - skill is involved for sure, but so is luck. What's cool about this luck stat is we get to try and think about how much dice luck is involved in winning the game -
Looking back some through my wins I estimate that I had the highest luck at the end in about 80% of my wins. I would guess that wins where one does not have the highest luck is an indication of skill. I have no idea how my 80% compares to anyone else, but it would be fun to figure out a way to do such comparisons.
I guess bad luck makes us better players. Because next time I have 10 units and I want to take 3. I won't assume it'll happen -.-

exactly! Sometimes caution pays off and sometimes throwing caution to the wind and a great deal of luck pays off. But you know what seems to almost always pay off... a good strategy and just a little luck.
Kind of like craps... you can't control the dice no matter how much you try but if you bet right you make money even when the dice hate you.

Dumbass that I am. Edit --> We also know it's *not* the card game War.
Details have always been my enemy.
