The problem here is that Dadice hadn't mentioned that rule at first (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996260.msg11994350#msg11994350), but suddenly came up with it last week when it had extended downtime (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=973765.msg12183171#msg12183171).

It is always a bad idea to change the rules of an on-going campaign, as it will for sure cause confusion and controversy.

My point exactly.

I could understand reaching out and crediting user who won with their "modified" timeframe, but changing stance and terms of their own OP .. not as much

Hi,

Your statement is not valid in my opinion. If you disagree then you should have got in touch with Da Dice when he announced so. You can't simply wait for everything to be over and then come up with your argument.

The downtime was unexpected, and it is only fair that it be deducted from the downtime. Other way round, you are giving the full control of who wins to DD which might even beat the concept of provable fairness.

Da Dice or any other site always reserve the right to change their terms if changing the terms result in a more fair way of evaluating.
The participant who predicted 20th is the winner because downtime is not his fault. That is the correct argument.
And I'd personally argue that DD did the best possible thing by deducting the downtime, by upholding the fairness and integrity of the competition.

Just my opinion. Wink

Thanks

Your statement is not valid in my opinion. When sites fail like dadice did, they usually expand their original offer, but most certainly do not try to avoid payments.
I predicted to op correctly that was one month ago, and dadice failure to hold site online should not hurt me as an contestant.

Just like 20th is the correct in one hand, the 24th is maybe even more correct in another.

Can you imagine Stunna pulling something like this off with primedice? Not a chance.
