My thoughts on dice dueling

Recently on arawn (and I'm sure it exists on other worlds), the new dice game is dice dueling.
If you dint know how it's played, or dont know how arawn plays it, here's how it works;
1. You trade the dicer the amount you want to bet and tell him dd (also you can say 1, 2, or 3 wins, but the default is 3)
2. The dicer says player name dd go! (Or something along those lines)
3. You roll and the dicer rolls
4. The higher roller is the winner or that round (ties are a re-roll). The dicer then says the score (ex: 1-0, 2-2, etc)
5. Repeat 3 and 4 unlit someone has 3 wins
6. If the gambler wins, the dicer doubles his/her money
The thing that drives me crazy about it, is that its spams the chat.
Can someone please explain to me why these divers don't just host 50x2 dice, instead of spamming our chat (it's the same probability to win as dice dueling). Any explainations would be apreciated.
Also, if you're a dicer, please consider what I just said. Thanks

It's more fun as the gambler feels more involved. It almost makes you feel like you have a chance of winning. There should definitely be a different unofficial spot for dicing though, otherwise new players will gamble and lose/get scammed and quit.

What if dice only worked in the tavern, it's out of the way and would give the tavern a use.

That would be awesome. When we do roll as a clan, tavern is the default spot. I cant stand the dicing spam that goes in in game, nothing worse than missing a message or shout because of the
50
14
9
72
46
75
83
97
11
21
65
That pops up upon arrival in the castle and overtakes the chat box. Maybe better yet we could have a block rolls button so that the dice text does not pop up at all in the chat box without having to block the actual players. Sometimes, I have had people join the clan who I have blocked and cannot remeber why, but dicing is my number one default reason for blocking toons.
Hmmm, maybe we also need a series of choices when we block someone to refer back to later, may be helpful in deciding who to let in a clan and or to unblock again. I would suggest choices like, scammer, dicer, spammer, rude, offensive, creepy or tool.

+1, i love that idea. It would really help. The tavern should have a use other than the pie quest, and that's why i think the dicing emote should only work there, if you do it elsewhere, it will say, in a text only you can see.
Go to the tavern to dice.

Love that idea! OTM should definitely consider this. It would make spamming in the castle more limited.

thats maybe how the dicer does it. if i say that i host dice duel i mean that we both dice and the higher number wins. nothing like u need 3 wins to get ur money.

I hate dicing in all its forms.
My solution is to block every one that participates in dicing.
Just in case If anyone in morrigan is wondering why I'm ignoring them....
