Has this ever happened to you?
I had a game last night against Tricktickler's Skaven. Toward the end of the 1st half I had the ball safely on the goal line, but decided to take a block with my pomber on one of his gutter runners. My reasoning was, hey I have block, and a re-roll available. It will give me a decent chance of getting one of these super annoying runners out of the game. I'm going for it.
I set up a 3 die block and proceeded to roll triple skulls, and re-rolled into triple skulls.
We both had a good laugh, and Tricktickler said he's never seen it in over a thousand games.
Now the odds are something crazy like 46,656 to 1.

I've played over 6000 games here, and yes it has happened to me more than a dozen times.

twice...
once with headsplitter in a crucial moment (all i needed was a both down or a push to stop the score)
and once vs poor lizzies that were diced so badly that the hydra (or avalanche) did not matter...
by the way pombers deserve the pain!

i just had 6 single skulls in a row, i think Nuffle sometimes is looking down on (or up at) us and laughing :O)
Posted by pythrr on 2011-11-15 12:37:22
yeah quite a few times....

Had it once and it cost me a win and potentially the OBBA premiership title that season.
In crucial games, where I am in a good winning position, I never risk blocks before scoring any more... period.

It's Nuffle punishing you for being greedy. It happens alot.
Posted by Fela on 2011-11-15 14:20:53
A lot?
Are you talking about double skulls rerolled into double skulls or 3d without block rerolled into triple skulls or specifically what Jas described?
I would agree to seeing that a FEW times, but a lot would be stretching it.

wait, that might have been russo.
Posted by Corvidius on 2011-11-15 15:22:45
Yep, happened to me on here. :)
Posted by DonTomaso on 2011-11-15 16:26:33
Nope...
Trippleskull rerolled to trippleskull... never seen it.
Weird, statistically I should have.
But lots of quadruple-skulls, though.

Statistically you shouldn't have. How many 3d blocks get set up? Not very many. And the odds of one of those turning into triple skulls then RRed to the same is 1/46656. I have to question anyone who says they've seen it multiple times.
Posted by BillBrasky on 2011-11-15 16:44:21
You'd be quite wrong Sutherlands.
I setup 3d blocks every game with bashers.
I try not to block at all with big guys unless it's 3d.
And 1/46656 sounds impressive, but think how many dice get rolled every match. It does happen.

Seen it several times, done it personally 2 or 3 times.
Always, *always* hilarious.

Although big guys do not usually have block and that is why you are setting up 3dbs with them. I think people are for sure exaggerating their experiences.

Edit incase 'someone' misunderstood my post:
Nuffle punishing you for being greedy happens alot. Not necessarily 6 skulls, but that's one thing that might happen.

Bill if you're positive I'm wrong, please provide the matches where this happened, as I'm sure it's noteworthy.
As for the 1/46656, it sounds impressive... because it is. It doesn't matter how many dice get rolled each match, it matter how many 3dbs are performed each match.
But please, feel free to post the matches!

question away. i can remember at least 3 games in which i've seen it personally.
Posted by Keith-Lemon on 2011-11-15 19:52:23
Happened to me when i blocked a snotling lol.
Posted by Corvidius on 2011-11-15 23:25:05
There's a lot of 3 die blocks in Ogre games.
Posted by Emeric on 2011-11-16 00:15:11
Happenned to me once on fumbbl. Never on table top. So that would make once every 700 games, much more than the theorical probability indeed :)
