Dice Master

Dice Master is a minigame played against another player where players try to meet run and set criteria to acquire the most points. Because of the amount of turns involved, matches may take a considerable amount of time to complete depending on how often your opponent logs into the game ; many players only log in once a day.

=Introduction=

=Game Types=

Every player will be able to challenge another player no matter their location IG. The "Challenger" will go first once their opponent has accepted the challenge.

Players will be able to set a "wager' for the game from 5 silver to 1000 silver. Both parties will have to put up the silver at the beginning of the game. You will not be able to start a match, or accept a match if you do not have the required amount of silver to cover the wager. The wagers will be held until the completion of the game. The winner will receive the pool, minus a 10% Caravan fee. In the case of a tie, both parties will receive their wager back. You may only have up to 20 pending games at one time.

Starting 3.1.011, games may be selected as either public or private. If public, then any player can view the game with the game ID.

This might lead some to ask... How do we play.....

=How to Play=

The objective is to have the highest score at the end of the game. The highest score for the numerical section with bonuses is 150 points. The highest score for the combo section is 270 points. The highest possible score for the entire game is 420 points. A game lasts for 14 rounds and is played by rolling five dice. You get three rolls of the dice and you can 'keep' any or all of the dice before re rolling. You need not roll if you wish to play the dice as they are after the first or second roll. You must place a score after the third roll. There are fourteen categories that you can score in.

Numerical Section
The Numerical Section is an area where you try to get as many of that particular die number as possible. You only get points for that particular die for the value of that number. For example, if you rolled 3 3 3 5 6, you would get a score of 9 on your threes, 5 on your fives, or 6 on your sixes. Any other number would come up as zero as they are not on any of the dice.

The total of this section is added up. There is a bonus for this section based upon the total of the section. If you score between 42 and 62 points, you will receive a 15 point bonus. If you score 63 to 83 you will receive a 30 point bonus. If you score 84 or higher, you will receive the max bonus of 45 points.

With the bonuses, the max score of this section is 150 points.

Combo Section
The Combo Section contains the following combos that must be obtained or you must put a zero in them.


 * 2 Pair (25 points): Two of one number and two of another number. The fifth die does not matter.
 * Full House (30 points):Two of one number and three of another number. (Note: All five die can be same number to claim these points)
 * Small Straight (35 points): Four consecutive numbers in a row (1,2,3,4 or 2,3,4,5 or 3,4,5,6)
 * Large Straight (40 points): Five consecutive numbers in a row (1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6)
 * 3 of a Kind (Total of points on die): Three of one number (ex. 3,3,3,4,5 is a total of 18)
 * 4 of a Kind (Total of points on die): Four of one number (ex 5,5,5,5,6 is a total of 26)
 * 5 of a Kind (50 points): All five dice showing same number
 * Scratch (Total points on die): Can be any combination (ex. 4,3,2,6,1 is a total of 16) Good for avoiding a zero in a spot, but only works once ;)

Maximum Score for this section is 270.

Winning and other Tips
After all rounds are completed by both players (in a PvP game) the highest score wins. In the tournament games, scores are entered at the completion of the rounds, and a winner will be declared at the end of the time frame. Again highest score wins.
