    2, I think.

    Dicing will just bring more people, it's a unique thing.

    How will dicing bring in new customers? If you're looking for unique things, there is hundreds of unique ideas that can be added without risking the issues that have 100% come from dicing.

    Yeah
    No
    Dicing made lots of people leave, more leave then stay
    If we're losing more then we get, how is that good for us
    Your arguments make 0 sense other than ''Me and a few other people like it''
    Some things just really don't work out

    +1 if they remove all penalties associated with dice scamming. It needs to be 100% at your own risk.

    Whats the point if no one is going to pay up when they lose?

    Nobody gets banned, which ultimately is best for the business.

    Why don't they bring back /dice but say that you HAVE to have screenshots of the dice before anything can be done? In the event of a scam, a player can throw the screenies on imgur, and staff can issue a ban; if the player doesn't have screenies then nothing is done. I don't see how that is super hard to moderate.

    I was staff for about 95% of the time /dice was here. /dice is evil. /dice is bad. We did it as a town staff kinda thing to just trade around money, and that was fun, but that's not the point.

    Dicing caused so many issues. There were rifts in the staff team over it, too many refund requests, too many bans over it. Yeah, nice way to gamble on your money. (sarcasm everywhere) Someone always one, and someone (sometimes more than 1) always lost.

    For all those saying that staff don't want to deal with it because it is more work: That is bull. It wasn't more work. We all care about the community, and seeing people upset 99% of the time with dicing was irritating. We just wanted to do right by other people, and we didn't like having to tell people that we couldn't help them. That was the worst part.

    It was super hard to moderate. Let me run an experiment. You dice 500 times lets say. Are you going to take 500-2000 pictures? I don't think so. Now, imagine trying to flip through all those images to find the one you want, and oh, look, it's not there. You didn't take proof of it. The point of removing it was to lessen the amount of bans. There were probably 5 bans a day that could have taken place just on dicing. Now, those 5 bans a day don't exist. Lots of players were getting away with scamming, and they know who they are.

    Example: I'm new to Meep. Someone shouts: dicing 1k /msg me. (Let's say I went through the tutorial and have money and know how to message.) Okay, so now I am there. I'm dicing. I lose. I pay the 1k. I quit because that was the worst experience on a sever I just joined. Hello? No one sees a problem there? This was happening all the time.

    +1 if it is made that you can't get banned, don't have to pay, and there are no associated consequences. However, that is mainly how it started out, and then it went down hill.
    -1 if it is just going to cause more and more issues - which it most likely will.

    Dicing was a bad thing to implement in the first place.

    After making millions off the /dice command I am going to have to -1 this due to it being a huge reason many newer members and even some more well known members have quit after losing their meebles due too how easy it is to /dice it all away.

    This was clearly way too hard to moderate. I remember it being very annoying for new users too. Bringing back /dice would just make scams and losses even more common.

    You make a good point, but what happens to that person that got scammed and scammed again and then loses, they are suddenly broke and don't have decent ways to make money. I know myself dicing isn't a good thing, while dicing, 500k can go down to just one bet, and hasn't the dicing plugin been glitchy so some people are more likely to win than others?

    While dicing is fun, and it is manageable for staff to moderate, it will NOT help player count at all. Things that bring in players are minigames, (but we despise adding any game players might know and want to play; we just invent crap where no one knows our server enough to come play it). Dicing results in bans and scams, how would you feel if you got scammed and didn't have screenshot. I'm assuming you wouldn't be too happy, and what would you want? A refund! And who can give you that? No one! So kiss your money, time, and effort away by implementing a gambling system where no one really wins.

    I've lost over a good 1 million with dice but it was fun, I'd just go mining again or do something else and loose it all again. Now I have my town to look after so no more dicing.

    Dicing is nothing but a nuisance to staff and many players.
