HOT DIGGITY DAMN!!!
I've done the same experiment, myself, but did not keep written record. I KNOW I win more (many more) games against Gnu with manual dice. I don't even think I play as well with manual dice because messin' with the dice, looking for the dice numbers on the screen and all that is distracting.
I was tempted to post about it, but decided not to. Y'all would assume it's just another amatuer's "Gnu cheats" thread, but NoChinDeluxe posted the evidence.
As far as I'm concerned, the jury is back. Verdict:
GNU CHEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems to me that it's "cheat mode" is sometimes on; sometimes off. More on than off. The next time y'all are in a ridiculous losing streak against Gnu, try the manual dice for yourselves. You'll see:
GNU CHEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, NoChin, I feel vindicated.
The use of manual dice is distracting, but the extra physical activity of sitting straight in my chair and shaking & rolling the dice may be stimulating to the brain, but that does not account for Gnu's "lucky" rolls over and over, nor my unlucky rolls.
I've noticed predictable patterns. For example, if the game is close and it's become a race to the finish line: Guess who gets doubles and who gets 12s.
GNU CHEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GNU CHEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GNU CHEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GNU CHEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An' don't nun o' yew nay sayers say nuthin' 'til you've tried it yerself!
