Chicken and Egg, Blood Bowl style.
What comes first?
In our Blood Bowl question of the day, Chicken and the egg.
Chicken being bad positioning and the egg being lucky Block/Arm/CAS dice against you.
The paradox being that bad positioning leads to more blocks. More chances for the Luck factor so to speak to kick in on the Block/Arm/CAS dice. Now of course the paradox is also that you could have bad positioning and have good luck on the block dice against you.
But we can all agree that these two concepts are related in a very big way.
So what is it? You got unlucky on the dice OR your bad positioning is what "did you in"?

I think the Tentacles kicked in and eventually gave me a lot of free extra blocks.

Bad positioning is the most likely reason I would lose. I tend to give away too many blocks, giving my opponents a chance to make lucky pow rolls.

I only ever get diced. 50% of the time.

Usually my positioning is so good that I lose the game due to rolling to many doubble skulls.

Dice win dice games.
Good dice will overshadow bad positioning, which infuriates seasoned coaches that have a superiority complex.
Bad dice will accentuate bad positioning, which will cause n00bs to rage quit and moan.
Good dice and good positioning = win
Bad dice and bad positioning = Offline 56 weeks (never to return)

This is very interesting. Sometimes things are going so good you actually are rolling to many dice. The blood lust frenzy of dice rolling over comes you.
Thus you invite NUFFLES disaster by rolling just to many dang dice.
Talk to Bo, he can tell you all about that and what happened to him at the end of the UI run. When he went dice rolling mad.
So is the moral of the story that if you are in such command. It is going great. That you should be leery at the end of the match of rolling to many of "NUFFLES bones?"

...since nuffle is quite the b***h, I give my opponent soooooo much rolls to do - both block and dodge.
because you will never know when nuffle will kick in and ruin the day.

I find that half of my wins are lucky, and half of my losses are lucky for my opponent.
Half of the games I play come down to coaching.
What's the difference?
Half of all statistics are made-up.
This scientific study was done by me, just now.
